第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
One of the latest trends(趋势) in American childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, Conn, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that's true all across the country.
"I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age," Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year-old son. "I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future." After only six months of being cared by a 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.
Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China: She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots. "Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture(文化)," she says.
"Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom," says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of children. But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is unlikely to produce plete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12."
The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.
1.What does the term "au pair" in the text mean
A.A mother raising her children on her own.
B.A child learning a foreign language at home.
C.A professor in language education of children.
D.A young foreign woman taking care of children.
2.Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them ____.
A.to live in China some day
B.to speak the language at home
C.to catch up with other children
D.to learn about the Chinese culture
3.What can we infer from the text
A.Learning Chinese is becoming popular in America.
B.Educated women do better in looking after children.
C.Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skills.
D.Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.
B
I recently booked tickets to take my children, aged seven and nine, to see The Railway Children at the theatre. Thinking they may get more out of it if they already knew the story, I ordered the book to read to them. I'm slightly ashamed(羞愧的) to say we only managed to read a few parts of the book. While everyone loved the film and the play was excellent, as far as a reading experience goes, for me at least, it was quite hard to stand.
It wasn't because the language was difficult, but because the writer seemed to use 10 sentences when one would probably work. But, as a book-lover, hoping that my children would read widely, I thought, "Is it important that they read the classics(经典著作) "
My friend Pandora thinks children's classics are just for school. She said, i4Unless they had great adventure, then they won't keep the parent or the kid gripped while reading together.
Another friend of mine Clare believes it is important that her children read the classics and revisit them again when they are older.
Camilla, my sister-in-law, makes a very good point that books like The Railway Children , were written in a different period of time with a different lifestyle in mind. She said, think the issue is that books are written for people who have less time now, while the classics were people's entertainment so the writing had to be long and drawn out.
Nowadays, children may feel that when they read a book from the past, they have to struggle through a lot of difficult writings only to find that not much happens. If that's the case, they might enjoy the books more in simplified versions(简化版) or by having the books read to them as a bedtime story.
"Some people seem to refuse books in simplified versions, but I don't think there's anything wrong with reading a classic novel in a simplified version first, and then later in life moving to the full version, Camilla said. It sounds like excellent advice.
1.What does the underlined word "gripped" in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Attracted.
B.Disappointed.
C.Touched.
D.Frightened.
2.What does Camilla think about books like The Railway Children
A.They don't really have much value.
B.They shouldn't be considered as classics.
C.They're no longer suitable for today's kids.
D.They're really good to entertain today's people.
3.Which of the following would the author most probably agree with
A.Today's children shouldn't read classics.
B.Classics are usually famous for their stories.
C.Today's kids can read simplified versions of classics.
D.Today s kids don't have to read a classic again and again.
4.What would be the best title of the text
A.Should Today's Kids Read Classics
B.Do Today's Kids Like Reading Classics
C.What Should Today's Kids Read in Their Spare Time
D.What Kind Of Books Should Parents Buy for Their Kids
C
A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 international students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant(显著的) problem.
The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation (动机), we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.
Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining(保持) or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.
1.What is the text mainly about
A.Foreign students have more problems.
B.There are many ways to improve English.
C.Teaching should meet students' needs.
D.English learning problems should be studied again.
2.Writing became a bigger problem when international students _________.
A.had to write their papers
B.became better at speaking
C.became less interested in reading
D.had fewer problems with listening
3.We may infer from the last two paragraphs that ________.
A.different teaching methods should be used
B.grammar-based teaching seems to be encouraging
C.English courses are necessary for international students
D.teaching content should be changed halfway
4.The word "it" underlined in the last paragraph refers to "_______".
A.re-think
B.activity
C.motivation
D.timetable
D
Doing crosswords(纵横字迷) is a fun way to kill the time and can also be educational. Difficult crosswords may leave you confused as you have no ideas on how to solve them sometimes. To perform well in this game, you need to have enough knowledge of different fields. If you are unable to do them and you have access to the answers, it is not generally considered cheating(作弊) to look up an answer or two. However, in some cases, it does not follow the rule.
A crossword should not include someone else's answers, so even a quick look at a fellow student to complete a crossword would not be fair. Generally, you wouldn't have access to the answers.
Additionally, some crossword competitions should not be connected with cheating. Again, in such a situation, you usually won't have access to the answers. Turning to the Internet or referring to(査阅) any books of crosswords for answers is also unfair since some people will complete the crosswords strictly with their own knowledge.
If you are not in a competitive environment, the check of a word can actually be an opportunity to learn how to become better at crosswords. Through looking up the answers (Although sometimes considered as cheat), you can memorize whatever facts or word definitions you must look up. This will help you avoid the need to cheat in the future.
Some argue that cheating on crosswords is always wrong, and you're only cheating yourself if you are looking up the answers. lt could be argued instead that cheating on crosswords that are done for fun or enjoyment can actually be an opportunity to benefit yourself because you're learning something new. Just don't forget to mention that you actually did cheat a little. Being honest is of great importance both to you and the other competitors.
It can be helpful to buy books of crosswords that have several different difficulty levels. If you are new to doing crosswords, you might want to put off working on crosswords until you are more confident in your skills.
1.According to the passage, doing crosswords ______.
A.makes people more likely to cheat
B.is the best way to learn something new
C.improves peopled confidence in themselves
D.requires enough knowledge of different aspects
2.What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 4
A.Everyone can become good at crosswords.
B.We shouldn't cheat on crossword competitions.
C.It is important to get much knowledge of crosswords.
D.Cheating on crosswords can become a learning experience sometimes.
3.The proper attitude towards your "cheating" on crosswords for fun is ________.
A.admitting your cheating honestly
B.choosing the suitable competitors to cheat
C.making up a kind excuse for your cheating
D.trying to avoid letting other competitors know the unfair behavior
4.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.The reasons why some people cheat on crosswords.
B.The best ways to become good at doing crosswords.
C.Whether it is necessary to look up answers for crosswords.
D.It's not always considered cheating to look up answers for crosswords.

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。
With two bags of cat food in her arms,Manuela Wroblewski couldn't stop smiling as she walked toward the familiar shop on the comer.She was making her weekly visit to see Hussein the barber.He spotted her through the picture window of his quiet shop and burst through the door and into the sunlight.
The two hurried over to the tiny food dishes lined up in the alley Soon the sound of cat food clinked(叮当)against the bowls and several stiff tailed cats began to appear.
Here in Avsallar,Turkey,there was a cultural aversion(厌恶)to cats and dogs, those who fed theanimals were often scorned(轻蔑).But Hussein paid no mind to those who glared at him.He took his timein the alley,kneeling for the longest while,stroking each cat and speaking softly.Hussein was simply a man who loved with his whole heart,and in this moment,he was lost in the comfort of his family.
As the two finished up and made their way back inside the shop,Hussein's smile faded and Manuela couldn't help but notice that he was beginning to look rather thin.Manuela,a native of Germany,has led a volunteer animal recuse program in Turkey for the last three years,but the language came slowly.Only by chance, when a multilingual(懂多国语)acquaintance arrived,did the room begin to darken as Hussein explained that he was about to lose his barber shop.
After decades in the same tiny room, Hussein had been told that he must leave.His little barber shopsimply didn't pay enough rent and with so few customers calling for his"old-fashioned"services,the landlord had invited in another tenant(租客)... one who wouldn't be feeding animals outside.
Manuela's eyes began to flood as Hussein expressed his worry for the cats he cared for. There were only seven days before Hussein would move out and Manuela feared for this very survival and for that of the animals who depended on him.

答案以及解析
第一部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
答案：1.D; 2.D; 3.A
解析：1.推理判断题。由第二段中约瑟夫请了一个25岁的中国女子照顾他两岁的儿子,以此给儿子创造学习汉语的机会,和第三段中一位华侨母亲也以这种方式教育自己的两个孩子,以及第四段中一位语言教授提到的"和说母语的人在一起学习语言比在教室好"等信息可知,au pair指的是负责照顾孩子的外国保姆。A项指的是"独自抚养孩子的母亲",B项指"在家里学习外语的孩子",C项指"儿童语言教育方面的教授",这些均不是au pair所指代的内容。
2.细节理解题。结合第三段的内容可知,她本是一名中国人,但还是请了一位说汉语的保姆来让孩子们学习汉语,再根据她所说的"Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to the language and culture.可知,她这样做的目的是让孩子们接触中国的语言和文化,故选D项。A项指"将来有一天居住在中国",B项指"在家里说汉语",C项指"赶上其他的孩子们",这些信息在文章中都没有提及。
3.主旨大意题。本文通过列举一些具体的例子,说明了美国的父母们正在兴起一种"au pair"热,即通过请说汉语的中国保姆来照顾自己的孩子,从而让孩子们有机会学习汉语。这说明了汉语在美国日益受到欢迎,因此选A项。而B项指"受过教育的妇女在照顾孩子方面更擅长",与本文的主要内容没有关系;C项虽然提到了Chinese au pairs,但是其侧重点却在她们需要提高自己的英语技能上;D项说"孩子们可以在6个月内学好一门外语",这与本文中儿童语言教育学家说的"Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12."相矛盾。
【长难句分析】The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese.由于想让孩子学习汉语的美国父母的数量持续增加,来自中国的保姆的受欢迎度已经得到加强。该句是复合句。主句中谓语是现在完成时的被动结构,by引出方式状语,该状语中who引导定语从句,修饰American parents。
B
答案：1.A; 2.C; 3.C; 4.A
解析：
1.词义猜测题。根据"Unless they had great adventure"可知, 这里是指如果书里面没有冒险描写的话,很难一直"吸引"读者读下去。
2.推理判断题。根据第五段的"I think the issue is that books are written for people who have less time now, while the classics were people's entertainment, so the writing had to be long and drawn out."可知,Camilla认为经典书籍已经不适合现在的小孩子读了。
3.作者观点题。根据末段的"I don't think there's anything wrong with reading a classic novel in a simplified version first"以及"It sounds like excellent advice."可知,作者认为小孩子可以读简化版的经典书籍。
4.标题归纳题。根据文章内容可知,本文主要是围绕现在的孩子是否应该读经典书籍展开的。
C
答案：1.C; 2.A; 3.A; 4.D
解析：
1.主旨大意题。根据对学生的调查来了解学生的需求和最后一句"This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students."可知,教学应该满足学生的需求。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的"Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in."可知,当外国学生必须写论文时,写作成了一个更大的问题。故选A。
3.推理判断题,根据第二段中的"Therefore a different method may help because it is different."以及最后一段提到的以前的时间表的失败可知,应该采取新的教学方法。
4.词义猜测题。文章中提到的"timetable"在实施过程中老师和同学们就对它失去了兴趣,所以不得不进行调整,使之满足学生表达的需求,所以文中的"it"指的是"timetable"。
D
答案：1.D; 2.D; 3.A; 4.D
解析：1.细节理解题。由第一段中的"To perform well in this game, you need to have enough knowledge of different fields."可知,如果想在纵横字谜中表现得出色,就需要在各个领域都有丰富的知识。
2.推理判断题。由本段中的最后两句话可知,尽管在纵横字谜中查阅答案经常被看作是一种"作弊",但是在一些非比赛性的场合中,这种作弊可以帮助我们了解一些知识,这样可以避免在以后的纵横字谜中再次作弊。也就是说,作者认为这种"作弊"也是一种学习体验。
3.推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的"Just don't forget to mention that you actually did cheat a little.Being honest is of great importance both to you and the other competitors."可知,在娱乐性的纵横字谜中作弊之后要敢于承认,这对自己以及对其他对手来说都是很重要的。
4.主旨大意题。通读短文可知,作者首先说明的是在纵横字谜中,通常把査找答案看作是作弊行为,但是在很多情况下,查找答案并不能看作是作弊,相反,有些作弊还能够起到积极的作用。 所以,在纵横字谜中的査找答案并不能都看成是作弊。
第二节
答案：BGCAF
解析：①文章第一句交代了人们不常做饭的三个原因:能力,钱,时间。空后两句分别交代了钱和时间的问题,所以这句一定与能力有关,故选择B。
②planning ahead与段首Think ahead对应,中间都是要提前想的内容。
③本段讲让时间花得值,比如做一条面包.那不妨做三、四条,时间差不多,还可留着将来吃。
④由本段中new ideas, learn,try 可知,本段讲的是通过实验尝试新的想法,更好地利用时间。
⑤本句是总结句。比做饭成为乐趣而不是负担。

2. for【解题思路】考查介此处为固定搭配。be good for sh.意为"对某人有好处"。
3.patients【解题思路】考查名词复数。patient是可数名词,此处应填复数形式泛指一类人。
4. better【解题思路】考査形容词的比较级。根据下文中的"than women who don't"可知,前后形成对比,故用比较级形式。
5. to die【解题思路】考査固定搭配。be likely to do sth.意为"可能做某事"。
6. normally【解题思路】考查词形转换。此处应填副词,修饰动词works。
7.is【解题思路】考査时态和主谓一致。根据上下文可知,此处应用一般现在时。Getting enough vitamin D为动词-ing形式短语作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
8. that/which【解题思路】考査定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词为a disease,且定语从句中缺少主语,故填that/which ,
9. published【解题思路】考杳非谓语动词。a study和publish之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故此处填publish的动词-ed形式作后置定语。
10.suffering【解题思路】考査非谓语动词。根据语境并分析句子结构可知,people和suffer之间是逻辑上的主谓关系。故此处填suffer的动词-ing形式作后置定语。

第一节
答案：
Dear Michael,
I'm glad to know that you are learning Chinese language and culture. In your last mail you said that you wanted to know something about my family spirit.
Well, there are many good qualities that have been passed on from generation to generation in my family. My parents always lay emphasis on the importance of honesty, bravery, perseverance and diligence and they have set good examples for me and my brother.
My family spirit has a profound influence on me. I'm always friendly to others and ready to help others. I always cheer myself up and never stop chasing my goal even though I meet with difficulties. Owing to those good qualities, I have made great achievements in my study and life.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
答案：
She decided to do something for Hussein through the Internet. She set up a donation page on a fundraising website, where the story of Hussein and his stray cats was shared. To draw more attention of the netizens, Manuela snapped up pictures of Hussein feeding those strays with great affection. And that was what posted on the Internet: an old man, with a weather-beaten face and a pack of cats with striking faces and piercing green eyes. Sure enough, as netizens read Manuela's post about the barber's fate, there was a swell of support. One after another, readers began making small donations to help and Manuela couldn't wait to share the news with Hussein.
There still remained one problem: where to reopen the barber shop. But as fate would have it, there was something incredible in store for them. In an old building adjacent to Hussein's shop, a landlord happened to read the post, who also had a soft spot for cats. He contacted Hussein in no time and offered to rent a storefront for nothing. In less than one week, the barber was back in business again, his whole world restored through the kindness of strangers. And best of all, the survival of the four-legged was secured.

A
One of the latest trends(趋势) in American childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, Conn, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that's true all across the country.
"I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age," Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year-old son. "I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future." After only six months of being cared by a 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.
Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China: She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots. "Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture(文化)," she says.
"Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom," says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of children. But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is unlikely to produce plete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12."
The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.

A.A mother raising her children on her own.
B.A child learning a foreign language at home.
C.A professor in language education of children.
D.A young foreign woman taking care of children.
2.Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them ____.
A.to live in China some day
B.to speak the language at home
C.to catch up with other children
D.to learn about the Chinese culture
3.What can we infer from the text
A.Learning Chinese is becoming popular in America.
B.Educated women do better in looking after children.
C.Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skills.
D.Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.
B
I recently booked tickets to take my children, aged seven and nine, to see The Railway Children at the theatre. Thinking they may get more out of it if they already knew the story, I ordered the book to read to them. I'm slightly ashamed(羞愧的) to say we only managed to read a few parts of the book. While everyone loved the film and the play was excellent, as far as a reading experience goes, for me at least, it was quite hard to stand.
It wasn't because the language was difficult, but because the writer seemed to use 10 sentences when one would probably work. But, as a book-lover, hoping that my children would read widely, I thought, "Is it important that they read the classics(经典著作) "
My friend Pandora thinks children's classics are just for school. She said, i4Unless they had great adventure, then they won't keep the parent or the kid gripped while reading together.
Another friend of mine Clare believes it is important that her children read the classics and revisit them again when they are older.
Camilla, my sister-in-law, makes a very good point that books like The Railway Children , were written in a different period of time with a different lifestyle in mind. She said, think the issue is that books are written for people who have less time now, while the classics were people's entertainment so the writing had to be long and drawn out.
Nowadays, children may feel that when they read a book from the past, they have to struggle through a lot of difficult writings only to find that not much happens. If that's the case, they might enjoy the books more in simplified versions(简化版) or by having the books read to them as a bedtime story.
"Some people seem to refuse books in simplified versions, but I don't think there's anything wrong with reading a classic novel in a simplified version first, and then later in life moving to the full version, Camilla said. It sounds like excellent advice.
1.What does the underlined word "gripped" in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Attracted.
B.Disappointed.
C.Touched.
D.Frightened.
2.What does Camilla think about books like The Railway Children
A.They don't really have much value.
B.They shouldn't be considered as classics.
C.They're no longer suitable for today's kids.
D.They're really good to entertain today's people.
3.Which of the following would the author most probably agree with
A.Today's children shouldn't read classics.
B.Classics are usually famous for their stories.
C.Today's kids can read simplified versions of classics.
D.Today s kids don't have to read a classic again and again.
4.What would be the best title of the text
A.Should Today's Kids Read Classics
B.Do Today's Kids Like Reading Classics
C.What Should Today's Kids Read in Their Spare Time
D.What Kind Of Books Should Parents Buy for Their Kids
C
A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 international students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant(显著的) problem.
The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation (动机), we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.
Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining(保持) or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.
1.What is the text mainly about
A.Foreign students have more problems.
B.There are many ways to improve English.
C.Teaching should meet students' needs.
D.English learning problems should be studied again.
2.Writing became a bigger problem when international students _________.
A.had to write their papers
B.became better at speaking
C.became less interested in reading
D.had fewer problems with listening
3.We may infer from the last two paragraphs that ________.
A.different teaching methods should be used
B.grammar-based teaching seems to be encouraging
C.English courses are necessary for international students
D.teaching content should be changed halfway
4.The word "it" underlined in the last paragraph refers to "_______".
A.re-think
B.activity
C.motivation
D.timetable
D
Doing crosswords(纵横字迷) is a fun way to kill the time and can also be educational. Difficult crosswords may leave you confused as you have no ideas on how to solve them sometimes. To perform well in this game, you need to have enough knowledge of different fields. If you are unable to do them and you have access to the answers, it is not generally considered cheating(作弊) to look up an answer or two. However, in some cases, it does not follow the rule.
A crossword should not include someone else's answers, so even a quick look at a fellow student to complete a crossword would not be fair. Generally, you wouldn't have access to the answers.
Additionally, some crossword competitions should not be connected with cheating. Again, in such a situation, you usually won't have access to the answers. Turning to the Internet or referring to(査阅) any books of crosswords for answers is also unfair since some people will complete the crosswords strictly with their own knowledge.
If you are not in a competitive environment, the check of a word can actually be an opportunity to learn how to become better at crosswords. Through looking up the answers (Although sometimes considered as cheat), you can memorize whatever facts or word definitions you must look up. This will help you avoid the need to cheat in the future.
Some argue that cheating on crosswords is always wrong, and you're only cheating yourself if you are looking up the answers. lt could be argued instead that cheating on crosswords that are done for fun or enjoyment can actually be an opportunity to benefit yourself because you're learning something new. Just don't forget to mention that you actually did cheat a little. Being honest is of great importance both to you and the other competitors.
It can be helpful to buy books of crosswords that have several different difficulty levels. If you are new to doing crosswords, you might want to put off working on crosswords until you are more confident in your skills.
1.According to the passage, doing crosswords ______.
A.makes people more likely to cheat
B.is the best way to learn something new
C.improves peopled confidence in themselves
D.requires enough knowledge of different aspects
2.What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 4
A.Everyone can become good at crosswords.
B.We shouldn't cheat on crossword competitions.
C.It is important to get much knowledge of crosswords.
D.Cheating on crosswords can become a learning experience sometimes.
3.The proper attitude towards your "cheating" on crosswords for fun is ________.
A.admitting your cheating honestly
B.choosing the suitable competitors to cheat
C.making up a kind excuse for your cheating
D.trying to avoid letting other competitors know the unfair behavior
4.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.The reasons why some people cheat on crosswords.
B.The best ways to become good at doing crosswords.
C.Whether it is necessary to look up answers for crosswords.
D.It's not always considered cheating to look up answers for crosswords.

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。
With two bags of cat food in her arms,Manuela Wroblewski couldn't stop smiling as she walked toward the familiar shop on the comer.She was making her weekly visit to see Hussein the barber.He spotted her through the picture window of his quiet shop and burst through the door and into the sunlight.
The two hurried over to the tiny food dishes lined up in the alley Soon the sound of cat food clinked(叮当)against the bowls and several stiff tailed cats began to appear.
Here in Avsallar,Turkey,there was a cultural aversion(厌恶)to cats and dogs, those who fed theanimals were often scorned(轻蔑).But Hussein paid no mind to those who glared at him.He took his timein the alley,kneeling for the longest while,stroking each cat and speaking softly.Hussein was simply a man who loved with his whole heart,and in this moment,he was lost in the comfort of his family.
As the two finished up and made their way back inside the shop,Hussein's smile faded and Manuela couldn't help but notice that he was beginning to look rather thin.Manuela,a native of Germany,has led a volunteer animal recuse program in Turkey for the last three years,but the language came slowly.Only by chance, when a multilingual(懂多国语)acquaintance arrived,did the room begin to darken as Hussein explained that he was about to lose his barber shop.
After decades in the same tiny room, Hussein had been told that he must leave.His little barber shopsimply didn't pay enough rent and with so few customers calling for his"old-fashioned"services,the landlord had invited in another tenant(租客)... one who wouldn't be feeding animals outside.
Manuela's eyes began to flood as Hussein expressed his worry for the cats he cared for. There were only seven days before Hussein would move out and Manuela feared for this very survival and for that of the animals who depended on him.

答案以及解析
第一部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
答案：1.D; 2.D; 3.A
解析：1.推理判断题。由第二段中约瑟夫请了一个25岁的中国女子照顾他两岁的儿子,以此给儿子创造学习汉语的机会,和第三段中一位华侨母亲也以这种方式教育自己的两个孩子,以及第四段中一位语言教授提到的"和说母语的人在一起学习语言比在教室好"等信息可知,au pair指的是负责照顾孩子的外国保姆。A项指的是"独自抚养孩子的母亲",B项指"在家里学习外语的孩子",C项指"儿童语言教育方面的教授",这些均不是au pair所指代的内容。
2.细节理解题。结合第三段的内容可知,她本是一名中国人,但还是请了一位说汉语的保姆来让孩子们学习汉语,再根据她所说的"Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to the language and culture.可知,她这样做的目的是让孩子们接触中国的语言和文化,故选D项。A项指"将来有一天居住在中国",B项指"在家里说汉语",C项指"赶上其他的孩子们",这些信息在文章中都没有提及。
3.主旨大意题。本文通过列举一些具体的例子,说明了美国的父母们正在兴起一种"au pair"热,即通过请说汉语的中国保姆来照顾自己的孩子,从而让孩子们有机会学习汉语。这说明了汉语在美国日益受到欢迎,因此选A项。而B项指"受过教育的妇女在照顾孩子方面更擅长",与本文的主要内容没有关系;C项虽然提到了Chinese au pairs,但是其侧重点却在她们需要提高自己的英语技能上;D项说"孩子们可以在6个月内学好一门外语",这与本文中儿童语言教育学家说的"Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12."相矛盾。
【长难句分析】The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese.由于想让孩子学习汉语的美国父母的数量持续增加,来自中国的保姆的受欢迎度已经得到加强。该句是复合句。主句中谓语是现在完成时的被动结构,by引出方式状语,该状语中who引导定语从句,修饰American parents。
B
答案：1.A; 2.C; 3.C; 4.A
解析：
1.词义猜测题。根据"Unless they had great adventure"可知, 这里是指如果书里面没有冒险描写的话,很难一直"吸引"读者读下去。
2.推理判断题。根据第五段的"I think the issue is that books are written for people who have less time now, while the classics were people's entertainment, so the writing had to be long and drawn out."可知,Camilla认为经典书籍已经不适合现在的小孩子读了。
3.作者观点题。根据末段的"I don't think there's anything wrong with reading a classic novel in a simplified version first"以及"It sounds like excellent advice."可知,作者认为小孩子可以读简化版的经典书籍。
4.标题归纳题。根据文章内容可知,本文主要是围绕现在的孩子是否应该读经典书籍展开的。
C
答案：1.C; 2.A; 3.A; 4.D
解析：
1.主旨大意题。根据对学生的调查来了解学生的需求和最后一句"This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students."可知,教学应该满足学生的需求。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的"Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in."可知,当外国学生必须写论文时,写作成了一个更大的问题。故选A。
3.推理判断题,根据第二段中的"Therefore a different method may help because it is different."以及最后一段提到的以前的时间表的失败可知,应该采取新的教学方法。
4.词义猜测题。文章中提到的"timetable"在实施过程中老师和同学们就对它失去了兴趣,所以不得不进行调整,使之满足学生表达的需求,所以文中的"it"指的是"timetable"。
D
答案：1.D; 2.D; 3.A; 4.D
解析：1.细节理解题。由第一段中的"To perform well in this game, you need to have enough knowledge of different fields."可知,如果想在纵横字谜中表现得出色,就需要在各个领域都有丰富的知识。
2.推理判断题。由本段中的最后两句话可知,尽管在纵横字谜中查阅答案经常被看作是一种"作弊",但是在一些非比赛性的场合中,这种作弊可以帮助我们了解一些知识,这样可以避免在以后的纵横字谜中再次作弊。也就是说,作者认为这种"作弊"也是一种学习体验。
3.推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的"Just don't forget to mention that you actually did cheat a little.Being honest is of great importance both to you and the other competitors."可知,在娱乐性的纵横字谜中作弊之后要敢于承认,这对自己以及对其他对手来说都是很重要的。
4.主旨大意题。通读短文可知,作者首先说明的是在纵横字谜中,通常把査找答案看作是作弊行为,但是在很多情况下,查找答案并不能看作是作弊,相反,有些作弊还能够起到积极的作用。 所以,在纵横字谜中的査找答案并不能都看成是作弊。
第二节
答案：BGCAF
解析：①文章第一句交代了人们不常做饭的三个原因:能力,钱,时间。空后两句分别交代了钱和时间的问题,所以这句一定与能力有关,故选择B。
②planning ahead与段首Think ahead对应,中间都是要提前想的内容。
③本段讲让时间花得值,比如做一条面包.那不妨做三、四条,时间差不多,还可留着将来吃。
④由本段中new ideas, learn,try 可知,本段讲的是通过实验尝试新的想法,更好地利用时间。
⑤本句是总结句。比做饭成为乐趣而不是负担。

第二节
答案：1. why2. for3. patients4. better5. to die6. normally7. is8. that/which9. published10. suffering
解析：
文章介绍了维生素D对身体的好处。
1. why【解题思路】考査表语从句。这就是我们为什么称维生素D为"阳光维生素''。根据语境并分析句子结构可知,此处应填why, 引导表语从句。
2. for【解题思路】考查介此处为固定搭配。be good for sh.意为"对某人有好处"。
3.patients【解题思路】考查名词复数。patient是可数名词,此处应填复数形式泛指一类人。
4. better【解题思路】考査形容词的比较级。根据下文中的"than women who don't"可知,前后形成对比,故用比较级形式。
5. to die【解题思路】考査固定搭配。be likely to do sth.意为"可能做某事"。
6. normally【解题思路】考查词形转换。此处应填副词,修饰动词works。
7.is【解题思路】考査时态和主谓一致。根据上下文可知,此处应用一般现在时。Getting enough vitamin D为动词-ing形式短语作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
8. that/which【解题思路】考査定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词为a disease,且定语从句中缺少主语,故填that/which ,
9. published【解题思路】考杳非谓语动词。a study和publish之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故此处填publish的动词-ed形式作后置定语。
10.suffering【解题思路】考査非谓语动词。根据语境并分析句子结构可知,people和suffer之间是逻辑上的主谓关系。故此处填suffer的动词-ing形式作后置定语。

第二节
答案：
She decided to do something for Hussein through the Internet. She set up a donation page on a fundraising website, where the story of Hussein and his stray cats was shared. To draw more attention of the netizens, Manuela snapped up pictures of Hussein feeding those strays with great affection. And that was what posted on the Internet: an old man, with a weather-beaten face and a pack of cats with striking faces and piercing green eyes. Sure enough, as netizens read Manuela's post about the barber's fate, there was a swell of support. One after another, readers began making small donations to help and Manuela couldn't wait to share the news with Hussein.
There still remained one problem: where to reopen the barber shop. But as fate would have it, there was something incredible in store for them. In an old building adjacent to Hussein's shop, a landlord happened to read the post, who also had a soft spot for cats. He contacted Hussein in no time and offered to rent a storefront for nothing. In less than one week, the barber was back in business again, his whole world restored through the kindness of strangers. And best of all, the survival of the four-legged was secured.
