Subject: My school
Hi, Li Zijun,
Thanks very much for your email. I really enjoyed reading it. I think we have a lot in common. I wonder if our school life is similar too.
I go to a big high school in Sydney called Maylands High School. There are about 1000 students and 80 or so teachers. My class has 25 students in it, which is normal for a Year 11 class. In the junior school there are about 30 students in a class.
In the senior high school we have lots of subjects to choose from, like maths, physics, chemistry, biology, history, German, law, geography, software design, graphic arts and media studies. (Different schools sometime have different optional subjects.) English is a must for everyone and we have to do least three other subjects in Year 11 and 12. At the end of Year 12 we sit for a public exam called the High School Certificate.
As well as school subjects, most of us do other activities at school such as playing a sport, singing in the choir or playing in the school band. We can also belong to clubs, such as the drama club, the chess club and the debating society.
We have a lot of homework to do in senior school to prepare for our exam, so unless I have basketball practice, I usually go straight home and start studying. I arrive home about 4 pm, make myself a snack and work till 6. Then I help the family to make dinner and we all eat together. I’m usually back in my room studying by 8 pm. I stop at about 10 o’clock and watch TV or read a book for half an hour to relax. On Saturdays, I usually go out with my family or with friends and I sleep in till late on Sunday morning. Then it’s back to the books on Sunday afternoon.
How about you What’s your school life like Do you have a lot of homework What do you do to relax when you’re not studying I’m looking forward to finding out.
Your Australian friend
Terrie

On Monday, I stopped my car in front of my daughter Juliet’s middle school. She jumped in the front seat, feeling down. She asked me to help her study for her science test.
“Dad, I need to memorise a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.”
“You know memorising seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.”
Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.”
Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don’t do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorise the material.
On Tuesday afternoon, Juliet sat down with her science book facing me and said, “Okay Dad, let’s study.” I wanted her to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldn’t be too hard on her. So instead we started with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not others. When she didn’t know the answers, I encouraged her to check the book.
She started checking things that didn’t make sense. And she was actively seeking to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasn’t memorising; she was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped she would do.
4. Why did Juliet feel down
A. Because she failed her science test.
B. Because she had trouble memorising a unit.
C. Because she knew nothing about planting.
D. Because she couldn’t follow her teacher.
5. In the writer’s opinion, which was the key to best learning
A. Memorising. B. Testing.
C. Questioning. D. Understanding.
6. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. Making her check the book.
B. Using simple questions to test her.
C. Encouraging her to read the unit.
D. Asking her to teach me the unit.
7. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. A Creative Father
B. An Unexpected Test
C. Learning from Teaching
D. Preparing for Teaching
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了爸爸通过让女儿教他来学习这种方式帮助女儿深入理解所学的知识。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““Dad, I need to memorise a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.””（ 爸爸，我需要记住一个关于植物繁殖周期的单元。但我很难做到）可知，朱丽叶感到沮丧是因为她记一个单元的知识点有困难，因此答案选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“You know memorising seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.”（ 你知道，记忆似乎是最好的学习方式，但事实上，如果你努力理解材料，你会在考试中表现得更好）可知，作者认为理解才是最佳学习的关键， 因此答案选D。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea”可知，让她教我是一个不同寻常的主意，此处承接上文，说的是我决心这样做，因此it 指代的就是前面提到的“Asking her to teach me”，即让她教我这个单元的知识，因此答案选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第五段“Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it.”（让她教我是一个不同寻常的主意，但我决心这样做）可知，本文主要讲的是爸爸通过让女儿教他来学习这种方式帮助女儿深入理解所学的知识，因而文章主旨是“从教中学习”，因此答案选C。
C
In the middle of the 19th century，a fever dream of riches beyond measure drew countless explorers west to the mountains of central California.Although the gold rush ended up being a bust for many who sought a fortune，some of those explorers discovered a natural treasure that would draw permanent settlers to Yosemite Valley in the following decade.
Vast wilderness，beautiful mountains，countless waterfalls，and abundant wildlife drew Native Americans to Yosemite roughly 10，000 years ago.The first non-native tourists arrived in the mid-1850s after reports from gold seekers told of an area of breathtaking beauty that no words were able to describe.
Fortunately，some of Yosemite’s earliest settlers recognized that Yosemite’s natural beauty and resources needed to be preserved for future generations.In the midst of the Civil War，President Abraham Lincoln signed a grant to protect Yosemite permanently，thus making it the nation’s first land to be dedicated to recreation and setting the stage for what would become the national park system.
One of Yosemite’s earliest ambassadors was Scottish-American naturalist and writer John Muir.After living in Yosemite for a few years，he helped define its proposed boundaries.He also wrote articles that helped lead to its official title as a National Park in 1890.He later co-founded the Sierra Club in 1892 to advocate for its continued preservation and protection.
Located on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in central California，Yosemite National Park runs across nearly 748，000 acres，almost 95％of which is wilderness.Around four million visitors come to Yosemite each year to camp，hike its miles of trails，climb its rock formations，and photograph its impressive sights.Are you ready to visit Yosemite National Park Which of Yosemite’s sights would you most like to experience
8. Which of the following best explains“bust”underlined in Paragraph 1
A Memory. B. Symbo1. C. Failure. D. Challenge.
9. When did the first non-native tourists come to Yosemite
A. After it was discovered by gold seekers.
B. When the gold rush finally came to a stop.
C. Before native Americans found its beauty.
D. When it became a National Park in 1890.
10. What do we learn about John Muir
A. He was the first to build the national park.
B. He helped set the boundaries of Yosemite.
C. He wrote to collect money for Yosemite.
D. He gave Yosemite an official name.
11. What do we know about Yosemite National Park
A. It has been well preserved since the Civil War.
B. It was originally created to protect wild animals.
C. It used to be well-known for its man-made beauty.
D. It was once damaged by some of its earliest settlers.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国风景优美之地约塞米蒂的历史以及约塞米蒂国家公园的特点。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据.Although和画线词后的“some of those explorers discovered a natural treasure”以及历史知识可知，尽管淘金热最终以许多淘金者的失败而告终，但其中一些探索者发现了一个自然宝藏，由此可知画线词词义为“失败”，故C项正确。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The first non-native tourists arrived in the mid-1850s after reports from gold seekers told of an area of breathtaking beauty that no words were able to describe.”可知，第一批非本地游客是在听淘金者说这里有难以用语言描绘的美景后来到约塞米蒂的，也就是他们在这个地方被淘金者发现之后来到这里的，故A项正确。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“After living in Yosemite for a few years，he helped define its proposed boundaries.”可知，在约塞米蒂居住多年后，John Muir帮助确定了约塞米蒂的边界，故B项正确。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In the midst of the Civil War，President Abraham Lincoln signed a grant to protect Yosemite permanently”可知，内战期间，林肯总统就签署了一项条款，永久保护约塞米蒂，由此可知，自内战期间起，约塞米蒂就得到了很好的保护，故A项正确。
【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大，但一些表示转折、让步或者因果关系的词语会给出一些重要暗示，例如本篇第1题，画线词前的“Although”表明前后是两种相反的结果，再结合画线词后的“some of those explorers discovered a natural treasure”可知，尽管淘金热最终以许多淘金者的失败而告终，但其中一些探索者发现了一个自然宝藏，由此可知画线词词义为“失败”。
D
Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing.Their designers say with these robots,rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
This robot looking like a helicopter,is called the detector-bot.It’s about 4 meters long,and it took about 4 years to develop the model.Its main functions are to collect information from the air,and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped by an earthquake.
This robot has a high definition 360 degrees panoramic (全景) cameraIt can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr.Qi Juntong,Chinese Academy of Science,said,“The most important feature of this robot is that it doesn’t need a distant control.We just set the destination (目的地) information on it,and then it takes off,and lands by itself.It flies as high as 3,000 meters,and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour.”
This robot has a different function—it can change as the environment changes.Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go.
As well as a detector (探测器) that finds victims and detects poisonous gas,a camera is placed in the 40 centimeters long robot, which can work in the dark.
Another use for the rescuers is the supply bot.With its 10-meter-long pipe,people who are trapped in the ruins,will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
Experts have said that the robots will enter production,and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.
12. According to the passage,this robot_______.
A. is carried by the helicopter
B weighs about 30 kilos
C. hasn’t been put into production so far.
D. is a machine with a length of 10 meters
13. Dr.Qi Juntong thinks this robot is different from the others mainly because_______.
A. it has more functions
B. it has a unique shape
C. it has more advanced cameras
D. it can work by himself once given the information
14. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 6 refers to_____.
A. a detector B. a camera
C. a rescuer D. a supply
15. The text is mainly about__________.
A. an introduction to the robot
B. what the robot looks like
C. how the robot is made
D. information about earthquakes
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种新型机器人——地震救援机器人的功能和特点，目前已经通过测试，最快明年才能投入生产。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段 “Experts have said that the robots will enter production,and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.”可知，这种机器人最快明年才能投入生产，故C项正确。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的 “The most important feature of this robot is that it doesn’t need a distant control. We just set the destination information on it,and then it takes off,and lands by itself.”可知，这种机器人最显著的特点是不需要用远程遥控，一旦给它输入信息，它就可以独立工作了，故D项正确。
14题详解】
指代题。根据画线词前的“As well as a detector that finds victims and detects poisonous gas, a camera is placed in the 40 centimeters long robot”可知，除了发现受害者和检测有毒气体外，这种40厘米长的机器人上还装有一架照相机，这架照相机可以在黑暗中拍摄传送照片，此处为非限定定语从句，which指代的就是先行词a camera，故B项正确。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中的“Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing.”可知，本文介绍了一种新型机器人——地震救援机器人的功能和特点，故A项正确。

第二节 读后续写 (共25分)
47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) perched on the tree near their window.
The father asked his son, “What is this ” The son replied, “It is a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son the second time, “What is this ” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you ‘It’s a crow.’”
After a little while, the old father again asked his son the third time, “What is this ”
At this time some expression of irritation (恼怒) was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father unwillingly. “It’s a crow, a crow.”
After a little while, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this ”
This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW.’ Are you not able to understand this ”
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born.
On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated, but I rather felt affection for my innocent son.”
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

Paragraph 2:
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritated while his father asked him the same question just four times! The son thought to himself: If I attain old age, how will my son look at me Will he think of me as a burden.’ Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor bearing or poor understanding
Paragraph 2:
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said this aloud, “I promise to see you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you in the best way no matter how you behave.”
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写作文。文章主要讲述了父亲问了儿子四次“这是什么”，儿子回答是乌鸦后开始厌烦。父亲拿出以前记录不厌其烦回答儿子23遍同样问题的日记让儿子看的故事。
【详解】细读原文，掌握文章主旨和结构，明确各段的大意。本文讲述了父亲问了儿子四次“这是什么”，儿子回答是乌鸦后开始厌烦。父亲拿出以前记录不厌其烦回答儿子23遍同样问题的日记让儿子看。根据提示内容可知，续写第一段要写儿子读完日记后的感受，可以描述儿子看完日记后对自己之前的态度感到了后悔和自责。第二段写读完日记后的做法，可以描述儿子感到惭愧后向父亲道歉，恳求父亲的原谅，以后会像父亲对待自己那样孝敬尊敬父亲。写作时应该注意所续写内容的词数应为150左右并且应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语。
【点睛】续写内容完整，层次分明，结构紧凑，表达准确。另外全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。作者在范文中使用了较多高级词汇，如：be filled with tears，used to do， without feeling irritation， made an apology to， afford to等。非谓语动词作状语：Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. 和He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior.强调句：It is you who have cared for me since I was a little child.目的状语从句： You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university.

From: terri . Au
To: (happylizijun) . cn
Subject: My school
Hi, Li Zijun,
Thanks very much for your email. I really enjoyed reading it. I think we have a lot in common. I wonder if our school life is similar too.
I go to a big high school in Sydney called Maylands High School. There are about 1000 students and 80 or so teachers. My class has 25 students in it, which is normal for a Year 11 class. In the junior school there are about 30 students in a class.
In the senior high school we have lots of subjects to choose from, like maths, physics, chemistry, biology, history, German, law, geography, software design, graphic arts and media studies. (Different schools sometime have different optional subjects.) English is a must for everyone and we have to do least three other subjects in Year 11 and 12. At the end of Year 12 we sit for a public exam called the High School Certificate.
As well as school subjects, most of us do other activities at school such as playing a sport, singing in the choir or playing in the school band. We can also belong to clubs, such as the drama club, the chess club and the debating society.
We have a lot of homework to do in senior school to prepare for our exam, so unless I have basketball practice, I usually go straight home and start studying. I arrive home about 4 pm, make myself a snack and work till 6. Then I help the family to make dinner and we all eat together. I’m usually back in my room studying by 8 pm. I stop at about 10 o’clock and watch TV or read a book for half an hour to relax. On Saturdays, I usually go out with my family or with friends and I sleep in till late on Sunday morning. Then it’s back to the books on Sunday afternoon.
How about you What’s your school life like Do you have a lot of homework What do you do to relax when you’re not studying I’m looking forward to finding out.
Your Australian friend
Terrie

On Monday, I stopped my car in front of my daughter Juliet’s middle school. She jumped in the front seat, feeling down. She asked me to help her study for her science test.
“Dad, I need to memorise a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.”
“You know memorising seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.”
Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.”
Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don’t do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorise the material.
On Tuesday afternoon, Juliet sat down with her science book facing me and said, “Okay Dad, let’s study.” I wanted her to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldn’t be too hard on her. So instead we started with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not others. When she didn’t know the answers, I encouraged her to check the book.
She started checking things that didn’t make sense. And she was actively seeking to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasn’t memorising; she was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped she would do.
4. Why did Juliet feel down
A. Because she failed her science test.
B. Because she had trouble memorising a unit.
C. Because she knew nothing about planting.
D. Because she couldn’t follow her teacher.
5. In the writer’s opinion, which was the key to best learning
A. Memorising. B. Testing.
C. Questioning. D. Understanding.
6. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. Making her check the book.
B. Using simple questions to test her.
C. Encouraging her to read the unit.
D. Asking her to teach me the unit.
7. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. A Creative Father
B. An Unexpected Test
C. Learning from Teaching
D. Preparing for Teaching
C
In the middle of the 19th century，a fever dream of riches beyond measure drew countless explorers west to the mountains of central California.Although the gold rush ended up being a bust for many who sought a fortune，some of those explorers discovered a natural treasure that would draw permanent settlers to Yosemite Valley in the following decade.
Vast wilderness，beautiful mountains，countless waterfalls，and abundant wildlife drew Native Americans to Yosemite roughly 10，000 years ago.The first non-native tourists arrived in the mid-1850s after reports from gold seekers told of an area of breathtaking beauty that no words were able to describe.
Fortunately，some of Yosemite’s earliest settlers recognized that Yosemite’s natural beauty and resources needed to be preserved for future generations.In the midst of the Civil War，President Abraham Lincoln signed a grant to protect Yosemite permanently，thus making it the nation’s first land to be dedicated to recreation and setting the stage for what would become the national park system.
One of Yosemite’s earliest ambassadors was Scottish-American naturalist and writer John Muir.After living in Yosemite for a few years，he helped define its proposed boundaries.He also wrote articles that helped lead to its official title as a National Park in 1890.He later co-founded the Sierra Club in 1892 to advocate for its continued preservation and protection.
Located on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in central California，Yosemite National Park runs across nearly 748，000 acres，almost 95％of which is wilderness.Around four million visitors come to Yosemite each year to camp，hike its miles of trails，climb its rock formations，and photograph its impressive sights.Are you ready to visit Yosemite National Park Which of Yosemite’s sights would you most like to experience
8. Which of the following best explains“bust”underlined in Paragraph 1
A. Memory. B. Symbo1. C. Failure. D. Challenge.
9. When did the first non-native tourists come to Yosemite
A. After it was discovered by gold seekers.
B. When the gold rush finally came to a stop.
C. Before native Americans found its beauty.
D. When it became a National Park in 1890.
10. What do we learn about John Muir
A. He was the first to build the national park.
B. He helped set the boundaries of Yosemite.
C. He wrote to collect money for Yosemite.
D. He gave Yosemite an official name.
11. What do we know about Yosemite National Park
A. It has been well preserved since the Civil War.
B. It was originally created to protect wild animals.
C. It used to be well-known for its man-made beauty.
D. It was once damaged by some of its earliest settlers.

Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing.Their designers say with these robots,rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.
This robot looking like a helicopter,is called the detector-bot.It’s about 4 meters long,and it took about 4 years to develop the model.Its main functions are to collect information from the air,and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped by an earthquake.
This robot has a high definition 360 degrees panoramic (全景) camera.It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr.Qi Juntong,Chinese Academy of Science,said,“The most important feature of this robot is that it doesn’t need a distant control.We just set the destination (目的地) information on it,and then it takes off,and lands by itself.It flies as high as 3,000 meters,and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour.”
This robot has a different function—it can change as the environment changes.Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go.
As well as a detector (探测器) that finds victims and detects poisonous gas,a camera is placed in the 40 centimeters long robot, which can work in the dark.
Another use for the rescuers is the supply bot.With its 10-meter-long pipe,people who are trapped in the ruins,will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
Experts have said that the robots will enter production,and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.
12. According to the passage,this robot_______.
A. is carried by the helicopter
B. weighs about 30 kilos
C. hasn’t been put into production so far.
D. is a machine with a length of 10 meters
13. Dr.Qi Juntong thinks this robot is different from the others mainly because_______.
A. it has more functions
B. it has a unique shape
C. it has more advanced cameras
D. it can work by himself once given the information
14. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 6 refers to_____.
A a detector B. a camera
C. a rescuer D. a supply
15. The text is mainly about__________.
A. an introduction to the robot
B. what the robot looks like
C. how the robot is made
D. information about earthquakes

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) perched on the tree near their window.
The father asked his son, “What is this ” The son replied, “It is a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son the second time, “What is this ” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you ‘It’s a crow.’”
After a little while, the old father again asked his son the third time, “What is this ”
At this time some expression of irritation (恼怒) was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father unwillingly. “It’s a crow, a crow.”
After a little while, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this ”
This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW.’ Are you not able to understand this ”
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born.
On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated, but I rather felt affection for my innocent son.”
