It was a rainy day. I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn's house. But she had insisted that I come to see something at the top of the mountain.
So here I was, although unwilling to make the two-hour journey through fog and rain. After lunch, my daughter requested me to drive her to Barage. After a ten-minute drive, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black green evergreens towered over us. Gradually the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind. Then we turned a comer and stopped--and I gasped in amazement.
From the top of the mountain to the slopes and valleys, were rivers of daffodils(水仙) in full bloom. A sea of amazing colors, like a carpet before us. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the mountainside. At the center hung a waterfall of purple hyacinths. Here and there were breathtaking tulips(郁金香).
A lot of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty Why How
As we approached the home that stood in the center of the property, we saw a sign that read, "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking". The first answer was:"One Woman--Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain." The second was: "One at a Time." The third: "Started in 1958."
I was so moved by what we had seen. "She changed the world," I said, not getting over the shock, "one bulb (球茎) at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it."
"Imagine," I added, "if I had a vision and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished "
Carolyn looked sideways at me, smiling. "Start tomorrow," she said. "Better yet, start today."

C. Mountain springs. D. A name of a place.

A. Easier said than done. B. Well begun, half done.
C. Little steps add up to big success. D. Women can shake the world.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. An amazing trip to Barage. B. A moving story of a mother's love.
C. A valuable lesson from a woman. D. A special sign on the way home.
C
It is a long time since I took up teaching. During my teaching career, I often ask my students to read the text until they can recite them, and I tell them that recitation is an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper.
In my opinion, it does take time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless
Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don't need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don't remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. So , recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability.
8. What do the students think about the teacher's advice ______
A. The English teacher asks them to do something useless.
B. The English teacher is very kind to them.
C. The English teacher should let them study on their own.
D. The English teacher tries his best to help them with English.
9. According to the text,which of the following is correct ______
A. The teacher thinks the students are too naughty to learn English well.
B. The students think they spend a lot of time in reciting the texts and get nothing.
C. The students say that they often forget the words.
D. The students take no interest in English.
10. When the students are against his suggestion, the writer ______ .
A. often criticizes them
B. wants to give up his idea
C. patiently explains to them why they should recite the texts
D. is afraid that he is criticized by the headmaster.
11. Why does the writer suggest that the students recite the text ______
A. Reciting the texts can greatly improve the classroom teaching.
B. Reciting the texts is the best way of learning English.
C. The students should remember all the texts that the teacher has taught them.
D Reciting the texts can improve the ability of applying (应用)English.
D
Connecting with people has become so much easier with advancing technology. Tasks that once required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your screen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating certain new rules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it’s OK to call. But that’s just the beginning.
“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-old office manager from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible one-word message — “K.” “At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few words here. You’re not that busy.”
There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to express their distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.
“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James Ivory, professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friends have their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings that have their own unique set of routine.
But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguous clues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily understand.
“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of the body language,” Ivory said, “People immediately fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up a feeling in seconds.
“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”
12. What can you infer about Mark from Paragraph 2
A. He is a businessman with a bad temper.
B. He complains about social manners.
C. He can’t bear one- word messages.
D. He dislike a busy business life.
13. According to the text, which of the following breaks the rules for communicating
A. John says “I got it.” to his boss face to face.
B. Jim calls Bill without confirming in advance.
C. Mary texts Lily to make sure if she can call her.
D. Jack sends “Thanks a lot” to his business friends.
14. Why may people misunderstand each other during digital communication
A. Emoji cannot sum up feelings.
B. People use their own slang and customs.
C. There are large quantities of written rules.
D. People gets wrong messages without clear clues.
15. What are people expected to do after reading tie passage
A. To obey their own digital communication rules.
B. To be aware of rules during digital communication.
C. To use advancing technology even with disadvantages.
D. To keep pace with digital communication development.

I was so moved by what we had seen. "She changed the world," I said, not getting over the shock, "one bulb (球茎) at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it."
"Imagine," I added, "if I had a vision and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished "
Carolyn looked sideways at me, smiling. "Start tomorrow," she said. "Better yet, start today."

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了女儿带作者去山顶,看到了一片各色水仙花像地毯一样在面前闪闪发光,作者为之吸引,得知这是一位女士多年努力的结果。作者扪心自问:如果自己设定一个目标,然后为之努力去做,每天做一点,时间久了会收获什么。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It was a rainy day. I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house. But she had insisted that I come to see something at the top of the mountain(这是一个雨天。 我不想沿着蜿蜒的山路开车去我女儿卡洛琳家。 但她坚持要我来看看山顶上的东西)”以及文章第二段中“So here I was, although unwilling to make the two-hour journey through fog and rain.(所以我来到了这里,尽管我不愿意在雾和雨中跋涉两个小时)”可知,虽然作者不愿意在蜿蜒的山路上开车去女儿家,但是女儿坚持作者应该去山顶看一些东西,因此还是去了。作者不想让女儿失望。故选A。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段中“From the top of the mountain to the slopes and valleys, were rivers of daffodils(水仙) in full bloom. A sea of amazing colors, like a carpet before us. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the mountainside. At the center hung a waterfall of purple hyacinths. Here and there were breathtaking tulips(从山顶到山坡和山谷,到处都是盛开的水仙花。 一片神奇的色彩海洋,就像我们面前的地毯。 看起来就像太阳翻过来,把金色洒向山腰。 在中心悬挂着紫色的风信子瀑布。 这里和那里都有美丽的郁金香)”,可知,从山顶到山坡和山谷,都是水仙花盛开的河流,中间挂着一个紫色风信子瀑布。到处都是令人叹为观止的郁金香。故hyacinths应该指的是一种花。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中“Imagine,” I added, “if I had a vision and worked at it,just a little hit every day, what might I have accomplished (想象一下,”我补充道,“如果我有一个远景并为之努力,每天都得到一点成功,我可能会完成什么呢 )”以及最后一段中“Start tomorrow,” she said,”Better yet, start today.”(“明天开始,”她说,“更好的是,从今天开始。”)。可知,作者的感触是:成功在于点滴的积累。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。分析文章可知,文章主要讲了女儿带作者去山顶,看到了一片各色水仙花像地毯一样在面前闪闪发光,作者为之吸引,得知这是一位女士多年努力的结果。作者扪心自问:如果自己设定一个目标,然后为之努力去做,每天做一点,时间久了会收获什么。所以C项(从一个女人身上学到的宝贵一课)作为标题,能够概括文章中心。故选C。
C
It is a long time since I took up teaching. During my teaching career, I often ask my students to read the text until they can recite them, and I tell them that recitation is an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper.
In my opinion, it does take time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless
Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don't need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don't remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. So , recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability.
8. What do the students think about the teacher's advice ______
A. The English teacher asks them to do something useless.
B. The English teacher is very kind to them.
C. The English teacher should let them study on their own.
D. The English teacher tries his best to help them with English.
9. According to the text,which of the following is correct ______
A. The teacher thinks the students are too naughty to learn English well.
B. The students think they spend a lot of time in reciting the texts and get nothing.
C. The students say that they often forget the words.
D. The students take no interest in English.
10. When the students are against his suggestion, the writer ______ .
A. often criticizes them
B. wants to give up his idea
C. patiently explains to them why they should recite the texts
D. is afraid that he is criticized by the headmaster.
11. Why does the writer suggest that the students recite the text ______
A. Reciting the texts can greatly improve the classroom teaching.
B. Reciting the texts is the best way of learning English.
C. The students should remember all the texts that the teacher has taught them.
D. Reciting the texts can improve the ability of applying (应用)English.

Connecting with people has become so much easier with advancing technology. Tasks that once required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your screen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating certain new rules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it’s OK to call. But that’s just the beginning.
“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-old office manager from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible one-word message — “K.” “At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few words here. You’re not that busy.”
There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to express their distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.
“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James Ivory, professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friends have their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings that have their own unique set of routine.
But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguous clues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily understand.
“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of the body language,” Ivory said, “People immediately fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up a feeling in seconds.
“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”
12. What can you infer about Mark from Paragraph 2
A. He is a businessman with a bad temper.
B. He complains about social manners.
C. He can’t bear one- word messages.
D. He dislike a busy business life.
13. According to the text, which of the following breaks the rules for communicating
A. John says “I got it.” to his boss face to face.
B. Jim calls Bill without confirming in advance.
C. Mary texts Lily to make sure if she can call her.
D. Jack sends “Thanks a lot” to his business friends.
14. Why may people misunderstand each other during digital communication
A. Emoji cannot sum up feelings.
B. People use their own slang and customs.
C. There are large quantities of written rules.
D. People gets wrong messages without clear clues.
15. What are people expected to do after reading tie passage
A. To obey their own digital communication rules.
B. To be aware of rules during digital communication.
C. To use advancing technology even with disadvantages.
D. To keep pace with digital communication development.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。随着技术的进步,人与人之间的联系变得越来越容易,但在数字通信中更容易违反某些新的交流规则而无意识地陷入两难境地。对此许多人对这种现象表达了忧虑。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible one-word message”可知,在生活中他最痛恨的一件事就是一个字的信息。所以通过关键词“hate, terrible”可以判断出,马克不能忍受一个字的信息。故C选项正确。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段“Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it’s OK to call”可知,在你发短信确认可以打电话之前不要打电话。很多人都违反了这个交流规则。所以B选项“吉姆没有事先确认就打电话给比尔”违反了沟通交流的规则。故B选项正确。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由第五段“Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguous clues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily understand.”可知,与语言不同的是,数字通信可以充满模糊的线索。电话、文本或电子邮件另一端的人可能很容易理解什么意思,也可能不容易理解是什么意思。所以为什么人们在数字通信中会产生误解是因为人们在没有明确线索的情况下会收到错误的信息。故D选项正确。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,随着技术的进步,人与人之间的联系变得越来越容易,但更容易违反某些新的交流规则而无意识地陷入两难境地。对此许多人对这种现象表达了忧虑。所以判断出短文目的就是期望人们能够在数字通信过程中要注意规则。所以读了这篇文章后,人们被期望能够在数字通信过程中要注意规则。故B选项正确。
【点睛】抓住特定信息进行逆向或者正向推理。做此类试题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息,即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断,利用逆向思维或正面推理,从而推断出这句话所隐含的深层含义。
由第二段“But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible one-word message”可知,在生活中他最痛恨的一件事就是一个字的信息。所以通过关键词“hate, terrible”可以判断出,马克不能忍受一个字的信息。故小题1的正确选项为C选项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界第三大无人区可可西里,这一地区的野生动物和生态系统受到严重破坏。如今,可可西里成为了联合国教科文组织的保护遗址,人们希望加强对这一地区的保护。
【详解】1.考查形容词最高级。句意:可可西里是世界上第三大无人居住区。根据空前“the world’s third”可知,此处表示“世界第三大的”,所以应用形容词large(大的)最高级largest,故填largest。
2.考查语态。句意:在青藏高原的偏远地区,可以找到许多野生动物的例子。根据句意可知,主语Many examples of wildlife(许多野生动物的例子)和动词find(找到)二者之间是被动关系,且由前面的情态动词can(可以)可知,此处应用be found,故填be found。
3.考查主谓一致。句意:这里山脉、冰川和湖泊的景色,使它成为一个美丽的地方。句子描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,且主语是不可数名词view(景色),所以谓语动词make(使得)应用三单形式,故填makes。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:在波兰举行的联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会第41届会议上,可可西里被批准为新的世界遗产地,成为中国第51个世界遗产地。分析句子结构可知,空处是非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰the 41st session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee (联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会第41届会议),且二者之间是被动关系,应用过去分词形式,故填held。
5.考查介词。句意:它是230多种野生动物的家园,包括濒临灭绝的藏羚羊。结合句意此处表示“包括濒临灭绝的藏羚羊在内的”,应用介词including,表示“包括”。故填including。
6.考查冠词。句意: 在上世纪90年代,非法狩猎藏羚羊曾是一个严重的问题。此处是泛指,表示“一个严重的问题”,应用不定冠词,且serious(严重的)读音不是以元音音素开头,应用a,故填a。
7.考查介词。句意:藏羚羊柔软而温暖的羊毛,可以在不伤害动物的情况下获得。根据句意可知,此处表示不伤害臧羚羊就能获得它们的毛,由后面的动名词“hurting”(伤害)可知,此处应用介词without,表示“不;没有;无”,故填without。
8.考查定语从句。句意:但是偷猎者会选择在偷走羊毛之前杀死它们,这导致西藏羚羊的数量急剧下降。分析句子结构可知,“But poachers( 盗猎者) would choose simply to kill them before taking the wool”是主句,“________caused the number of Tibet antelopes to drop rapidly.”是非限定性定语从句,先行词是前面的主句,且定语从句中缺少主语,应用关系代词which来引导,故填which。
9.考查形容词。句意:2004年的电影《可可西里:山地巡逻队》描述了阻止非法狩猎的斗争。由空后的名词hunting(打猎)可知,此处应用形容词illegal表示“非法的”,故填illegal。
10.考查名词。句意:现在可可西里已经被联合国教科文组织列入保护名单,相信这个地区的野生动物和特殊的生态系统会得到更有效的保护。分析句子结构可知,空处作主语,且此处是of所有格结构,即“名词+of+名词”,所以空处应用动词protect(保护)的名词形式protection,表示“保护”,故填protection。

I was walking my dog downstairs last night. When I return home, my dog followed back with the wallet in her mouth. I took it out from her mouth and found it was full cash.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者捡到钱包还给女孩的经历。
【详解】1.考查动词时态。句意:当我回到家时,我的狗叼着一个钱包跟了回来。根据“followed”可知,此处陈述过去发生的事情,使用一般过去时。故将return改为returned。
2.考查冠词。句意同上。泛指“一个钱包”,且wallet发音以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a修饰。故将the改为a。
3.考查固定短语。句意:我从她嘴里拿出来,发现里面全是现金。be full of为固定短语,意为“充满”。故在full后面加of。
4.考查强调句。句意:我在钱包里找到了一个电话号码,于是我立即拨通了这个号码,并与一个女孩取得了联系。强调句的基本句型是:it is/was+被强调部分+that+句子其他成分。此处对地点状语in the wallet进行强调。故将where改为that。
5.考查副词。句意同上。修饰动词,作状语,用副词 immediately。故将immediate改为immediately。
6.考查代词。句意:我们约定她到我家来取。此处表示“她来我家里拿钱包”,形容词性物主代词应用my。故将her改为my。
7.考查形容词。句意:所有的现金都还在,这让她很震惊。此处作表语需用形容词,表示“人的感受”需用-ed结尾的形容词。故将shocking改为shocked。
8.考查主谓一致。句意同上。all the cash作主语,不可数名词,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故将were改为was。
9.考查连词。句意:虽然她带着钱离开了,但后来她带着一些葡萄酒、巧克力和其他好吃的东西回来表示感谢。but 与although不能连用,但yet 可以。故去掉 but 或将 but改为yet。
10.考查名词。句意同上。treat 此处作名词用,表示“美味食物”,是可数名词,前面有other修饰,应用复数形式。故将treat改为treats。
