(Text 10)
Ladies and gentlemen,welcome.Now let me introduce my hometown to you.I hope you will enjoy the beautiful countryside with me as your guide.
My hometown is a very ordinary place,no different from any other small town in the area.There are about two thousand people living here,many of whom go to the big cities to do odd jobs.What then makes this place a famous resort You can find the answer in the beautiful scenery in the countryside.It is a place where you can see many tall trees,where wide roads run alongside big farms,and where a big river flows.You can see a lot of ducks on the river’s white sheet of water which opens out into a big bay by the sea.
Every morning,we jog,enjoy the fresh air and meet our neighbours on the roads.People who are fond of walking their pets will also be found along the roads in the morning,often in groups,talking pleasantly to their friends and neighbours.You can also see people involved in other recreation activities such as playing badminton,dancing and flying kites.
Besides these,some experts say there are many valuable minerals under the ground.They predict if some day we begin to mine our countryside,we will become richer and richer by exporting the minerals to other countries.I think many countries are bound to begin using these minerals soon.

When I was 9,we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow,London on a gray January morning.Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me.Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days,I felt at a loss and out of place.Until I made a discovery.
Southbank,at an eastern bend in the Thames,is the center of British skateboarding,where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing.I loved it.I soon made friends with the local skaters.We spoke our own language.And my favorite:Safe.Safe meant cool.It meant hello.It meant don’t worry about it.Once,when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆),I fell onto the stones,damaging a nerve in my hand,and Toby came over,helping me up:Safe,man.Safe.A few minutes later,when I landed the trick,my friends beat their boards loud,shouting:“Safe!Safe!Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks,being a good skater.
When I was 15,my family moved to Washington.I tried skateboarding there,but the locals were far less welcoming.Within a couple of years,I’d given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004,I found myself wandering down to Southbank,spending hours there.I’ve traveled back several times since,most recently this past spring.The day was cold but clear:tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters.Weaving among the kids who rushed by on their boards,I found my way to the beam.Then a rail-thin teenager,in a baggy white T-shirt,skidded up to the beam.He sat next to me.He seemed not to notice the man next to him.But soon I caught a few of his glances.“I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him.Then,slowly,he began to nod his head.“Safe,man.Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said.“Safe.”
4.What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London
A.He felt disappointed.
B.He gave up his hobby.
C.He liked the weather there.
D.He had disagreements with his family.
5.What do the underlined words “Safe!Safe!Safe!” probably mean
A.Be careful! B.Well done!
C.No way! D.Don’t worry!
6.Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London
A.To join the skateboarding.
B.To make new friends.
C.To learn more tricks.
D.To relive his childhood days.
7.What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A.Children should learn a second language.

D.Seeing the world is a must for children.

When almost everyone has a mobile phone,why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline(座机)
These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone.In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket.Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere,anytime.
Still,55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones according to a survey.Of those Australians who still have a landline,a third concede that it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket—19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone.Age is naturally a factor—only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then,compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.Age isn’t the only factor;I’d say it’s also to do with the make-up of your household.
Generation Xers with young families,like my wife and I,can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member.That said,to be honest,the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers’ parents,to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone(using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How attached are you to your landline How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries
8.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones
A.Their target users.
B.Their wide popularity.
C.Their major functions.
D.Their complex design.
9.What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Admit. B.Argue.
C.Remember. D.Remark.
10.What can we say about Baby Boomers
A.They like smartphone games.
B.They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.
C.They keep using landline phones.
D.They are attached to their family.
11.What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph
A.It remains a family necessity.
B.It will fall out of use some day.
C.It may increase daily expenses.
D.It is as important as the gas light.
D
Who is a genius This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let’s state clearly:Einstein was a genius.His face is almost the international symbol for genius.But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself.Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us And who are they
In the sciences and arts,those praised as geniuses were most often white men,of European origin.Perhaps this is not a surprise.It’s said that history is written by the victors,and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women,or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six,girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender are “really,really smart”.Even worse,the study found that girls act on that belief:Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really,really smart”.Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer:absolutely not.
Here’s the good news.In a wired world with constant global communication,we’re all positioned to see flashes of geniuses wherever they appear.And the more we look,the more we will see that social factors like gender,race,and class do not determine the appearance of geniuses.As a writer says,future geniuses come from those with “intelligence,creativity,perseverance,and simple good fortune,who are able to change the world”.
12.What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club
A.They’re unfair.
B.They’re conservative.
C.They’re objective.
D.They’re strict.
13.What can we infer about girls from the study in Science
A.They think themselves smart.
B.They look up to great thinkers.
C.They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D.They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.
14.Why are more geniuses known to the public
A.Improved global communication.
B.Less discrimination against women.
C.Acceptance of victors’ concepts.
D.Changes in people’s social positions.
15.What is the best title for the text
A.Geniuses Think Alike
B.Genius Takes Many Forms
C.Genius and Intelligence
D.Genius and Luck

A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance
We all want it...to accept and love ourselves.But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 16 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.
17 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough.Why do you follow them Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs Know that your life is your own;you are the only you in this world.
Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.We are often ashamed of our shortcomings,our mistakes and our failures. 18 You will make mistakes,time and time again.Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better,why not offer yourself a compassionate response “That didn’t go as planned.But,I tried my best.”
Recognize all of your strengths.Write them down in a journal.Begin to train your brain to look at strengths before weaknesses.List all of your accomplishments and achievements.You have a job,earn your degree,and you get out of bed today. 19
Now that you’ve listed your strengths,list your imperfections.Turn the page in your journal.Put into words why you feel unworthy,why you don’t feel good enough.Now,read these words back to yourself. 20 Turn to the page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.See how awesome you are
A.Feeling upset again
B.Where do you start
C.Nothing is too small to celebrate.
D.Remember,you are only a human.
E.Set an intention for self-acceptance.
F.Stop comparing yourself with others.
G.When does the comparison game start

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。
As a teacher,my daily routine includes driving to a new school almost every day so I’m usually unable to predict the day’s events,good or bad!
On one particular day,I was teaching in a very difficult class.Some of the schoolboys didn’t finish their homework on time and that really annoyed me.I was managing behaviour all morning and by lunchtime I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon.So on my lunchtime,I drove to a nearby plaza to get a cup of coffee.There I had a wonderful time and forgot the unpleasant experience in the morning.Upon returning to the car,I realized I had locked my keys and my phone inside!I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4-or-5-minute drive away.I considered rushing back,but it was winter,and I thought a dirty fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.
So I ran into a Mcdonald’s which was in the same plaza and asked the man at the counter to call me a cab.The man happened to be the manager of the restaurant.I briefly explained my situation to him,and I could tell by the look,that he empathized.He hurried to the back to use the phone while I paced in the restaurant.I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point.
The manager returned,only to tell me that the cab company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected,and that he was now on hold again,but had not yet been able to request the cab yet.My expression,I am sure,began to resemble some combination of hopelessness and fear.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Without a thought,the manager grabbed his coat and offered to drive me to the school.
The manager’s calm behaviour and kind nature made me think

答案：
【语篇解读】本文是一则广告。这篇短文主要介绍了四本针对少年儿童的书,详细介绍了每本书的主要内容、价格等信息。
1.C 推理判断题。分别由“Here are the answers to the questions most often asked by parents,teachers,business trainers and by students themselves”“L.Ron Hubbard’s study technology for teenagers opens the door...”“The basics of effective study for 8 to 12-year-olds,fully illustrated.”和“Written for children 8 to 12-year-olds,this fully illustrated book will...”可知,本文中这四本书主要是针对少年儿童的书籍,故选C项。
2.A 细节理解题。根据“Fully illustrated for easy understanding”可知,配插图是为了帮助读者理解。故选A项。
3.C 细节理解题。根据“Written for children 8 to 12-year-olds,this fully illustrated book will teach your child...”可知,How to Use a Dictionary Picture Book for Children是教8到12岁的孩子如何使用字典的,故选C项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述作者自己的经历,起初搬到伦敦很不适应,但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方,结识了玩滑板的朋友,因此很好地适应了。作者回到伦敦之后,经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆,在与一个玩滑板的孩子打招呼的时候,终于找到了自己久违的熟悉感。
4.A 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me.Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days,I felt at a loss and out of place.”可知,作者刚到伦敦的时候因为没有喜爱的沙滩,不能很好地融入新的城市,感到很沮丧,故选A项。
5.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“And that’s what mattered—landing tricks,being a good skater.”可知,作者掌握了滑板落地技巧,因此他的朋友大声欢呼,因此可以推出本句的Safe是赞美的含义,结合选项,故选B项。
6.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘I was a local here 20 years ago,’I told him.Then,slowly,he began to nod his head.‘Safe,man.Safe.’”可推知,作者去Southbank这个地方是为了寻找自己玩滑板的回忆,故选D项。
7.C 推理判断题。根据全文可知,作者起初搬到伦敦很不适应,但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方,结识了玩滑板的朋友,因此很好地适应了。但是搬去华盛顿,因为没有遇到很好的玩滑板的朋友,几年之后就不再玩滑板,作者回到伦敦之后,经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆,在与一个孩子打招呼的时候,终于找到了自己久违的回忆。通过作者的经历,作者要表达的是,归属感对于孩子是很重要的,故选C项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚使用固定电话的情况,并且表达了固定电话是非必需品的观点。
8.B 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段可推知,本段主要说明手机在澳大利亚广受欢迎。故选B项。
9.A 词义猜测题。根据画线单词的上文“Of those Australians who still have a landline”可知,这个调查的目标人群是仍然有固定电话的澳大利亚人;根据下文“it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket—19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies”可知,很多人认为固定电话并不是必须拥有的,有些人保留固定电话只是为了防止紧急情况。从而推知,在调查中,他们应该是承认了固定电话的非必要性。由此推知,画线单词“concede”意为“承认”。故选A项。
10.C 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.”以及文章第五段中“That said,to be honest,the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers’ parents”可推知,婴儿潮时代的人一直用固定电话。故选C项。
11.B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可推知,本段使用类比的方式,使用煤气路灯以及早晨送牛奶已经被淘汰的例子,侧面说明了固定电话总有一天会废弃的。故选B项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章由问题“谁是天才 ”引入,论述了世人对天才的狭隘定义,提出事实上“天才”有很多种形式,不要让思维限制了我们的“天才”能力。
12.A 推理判断题。根据第三段的“It’s said that history is written by victors,and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women,or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.”可推知,作者认为那些“胜利者”对进入“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的,因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A项。
13.D 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even worse,the study found that girls act on that belief:Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are ‘really,really smart’.”可推知,女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响,认为自己在六岁左右就不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。故选D项。
14.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“In a wired world with constant global communication,we’re all positioned to see flashes of geniuses wherever they appear.”可知,进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。故选A项。
15.B 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,结合文章第一段提出问题“Who is a genius ”和最后一段的“As a writer says,future geniuses come from those with ‘intelligence,creativity,perseverance,and simple good fortune,who are able to change the world’”可知,天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人,他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B项。
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个自我接纳的小技巧。
16.B 根据题目A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance及下文的“Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.”可知,B项最符合下文语境,故选B项。
17.F 根据下文“Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs Know that your life is your own;you are the only you in this world.”可知,本段主要讲述不要把自己和别人作比较,因为生活是我们自己的,我们也是世界上独一无二的。故F项可以作为本段中心句,故选F项。
18.D 根据本段的中心句“Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.”及下文的“You will make mistakes,time and time again.”可知,D项与上下文衔接最好,故选D项。
19.C 根据上文“List all of your accomplishments and achievements.You have a job,earn your degree,and you get out of bed today.”可知,C项与上文衔接最好,故选C项。
20.A 结合上文“Put into words why you feel unworthy,why you don’t feel good enough.Now,read these words back to yourself.”和下文的“Turn to the page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.See how awesome you are ”可知,A项最符合上下文语境,故选A项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,作者在读高中时就辍学了。后来作者在一位素不相识的老师帮助下重新点燃了自信,并且最终成为一名老师。
21.B 根据下文“ Later,I got a bachelor’s degree and became a teacher just like her.”可知作者是在一位老师的鼓励下改变了人生道路,故选B项。
22.C hear from “收到……的来信”;reflect on “思考”;believe in “信任”;dry out“干涸”。根据下文作者认为自己的GED分数低,自己笨,所以没有自信申请大学,因此她不相信自己的能力,故选C项。

24.D 根据上文可知,作者要挣钱赡养父母,所以她不能放弃。故选D项。
25.C 根据下文“...an excellent candidate for the training program”可知,作者是申请参加免费的工作培训项目,故选C项。
26.B 根据but的转折以及下文的stupid可知,作者认为自己考的分数低,故选B项。
27.D 根据上文和句意可知,作者认为对于申请这个培训项目,自己没有什么优势可以提供,故选D项。
28.D 根据上文可以判断作者要养家,所以她不能放弃工作,于是想试一试。故选D项。
29.B 根据下文可知,Ruby Martin查看我的成绩册,评估作者是否可以参加这个项目,故选B项。
30.D 根据语境可知,作者认为自己分数低,不知道能不能录取,所以很紧张,故选D项。
31.C 根据上文可知,作者只是抱着试一试的想法来参加面试,已经做好了不被接受的准备,故选C项。
32.A 根据句意可知,老师看了她半天才说话。before用于肯定句中,表示“过了多久才……”,故选A项。
33.C 根据下文“for the training program”可知老师问作者为什么要参加这个培训项目,故选C项。
34.B 作者羞愧得脸红了。故选B项。
35.B 作者以前认为自己笨,没有自信,后来得到学位而且成了老师。由此说明她恢复了自信。故选B项。

38.differently 考查词性变化。分析句子结构可知,此处用副词修饰动词reacts,故填differently。

42.an 考查冠词。此处泛指一个18岁的男孩,且所修饰单词的读音以元音音素开头,故填不定冠词an。
43.moving 考查非谓语动词。keep doing sth.意为“一直做某事,继续做某事”,为固定用法,故填moving。

第一节
Good afternoon,everyone!
Today I feel honored to have a chance to share with you my dream.
We all have dreams.Some people dream of becoming scientists while others wish to become astronauts like Yang Liwei.Of course,there are many that would love to be rich.Personally,I want to be a man who is self-dependent and has a full sense of responsibility,a man who is helpful to those in trouble and knows how to be grateful.In conclusion,I will stick to my dream forever.
Thank you for listening.
第二节
Without a thought,the manager grabbed his coat and offered to drive me to the school.Without hesitation,I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes to spare before the bell!Upon arriving at the school,I thanked this man endlessly.
The manager’s calm behaviour and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for,and also a wonderful human being to have on this earth.This experience makes me realize that out of every seemingly hopeless situation,there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to happen,which can have an unimaginable impact on those who receive them.

Ladies and gentlemen,welcome.Now let me introduce my hometown to you.I hope you will enjoy the beautiful countryside with me as your guide.
My hometown is a very ordinary place,no different from any other small town in the area.There are about two thousand people living here,many of whom go to the big cities to do odd jobs.What then makes this place a famous resort You can find the answer in the beautiful scenery in the countryside.It is a place where you can see many tall trees,where wide roads run alongside big farms,and where a big river flows.You can see a lot of ducks on the river’s white sheet of water which opens out into a big bay by the sea.
Every morning,we jog,enjoy the fresh air and meet our neighbours on the roads.People who are fond of walking their pets will also be found along the roads in the morning,often in groups,talking pleasantly to their friends and neighbours.You can also see people involved in other recreation activities such as playing badminton,dancing and flying kites.
Besides these,some experts say there are many valuable minerals under the ground.They predict if some day we begin to mine our countryside,we will become richer and richer by exporting the minerals to other countries.I think many countries are bound to begin using these minerals soon.

When I was 9,we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow,London on a gray January morning.Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me.Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days,I felt at a loss and out of place.Until I made a discovery.
Southbank,at an eastern bend in the Thames,is the center of British skateboarding,where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing.I loved it.I soon made friends with the local skaters.We spoke our own language.And my favorite:Safe.Safe meant cool.It meant hello.It meant don’t worry about it.Once,when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆),I fell onto the stones,damaging a nerve in my hand,and Toby came over,helping me up:Safe,man.Safe.A few minutes later,when I landed the trick,my friends beat their boards loud,shouting:“Safe!Safe!Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks,being a good skater.
When I was 15,my family moved to Washington.I tried skateboarding there,but the locals were far less welcoming.Within a couple of years,I’d given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004,I found myself wandering down to Southbank,spending hours there.I’ve traveled back several times since,most recently this past spring.The day was cold but clear:tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters.Weaving among the kids who rushed by on their boards,I found my way to the beam.Then a rail-thin teenager,in a baggy white T-shirt,skidded up to the beam.He sat next to me.He seemed not to notice the man next to him.But soon I caught a few of his glances.“I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him.Then,slowly,he began to nod his head.“Safe,man.Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said.“Safe.”
4.What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London

C.He liked the weather there.

When almost everyone has a mobile phone,why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline(座机)
These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone.In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket.Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere,anytime.
Still,55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones according to a survey.Of those Australians who still have a landline,a third concede that it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket—19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone.Age is naturally a factor—only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then,compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.Age isn’t the only factor;I’d say it’s also to do with the make-up of your household.
Generation Xers with young families,like my wife and I,can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member.That said,to be honest,the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers’ parents,to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone(using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How attached are you to your landline How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries
8.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones
A.Their target users.
B.Their wide popularity.
C.Their major functions.
D.Their complex design.
9.What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Admit. B.Argue.
C.Remember. D.Remark.
10.What can we say about Baby Boomers
A.They like smartphone games.
B.They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.
C.They keep using landline phones.
D.They are attached to their family.
11.What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph
A.It remains a family necessity.
B.It will fall out of use some day.
C.It may increase daily expenses.
D.It is as important as the gas light.
D
Who is a genius This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let’s state clearly:Einstein was a genius.His face is almost the international symbol for genius.But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself.Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us And who are they
In the sciences and arts,those praised as geniuses were most often white men,of European origin.Perhaps this is not a surprise.It’s said that history is written by the victors,and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women,or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six,girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender are “really,really smart”.Even worse,the study found that girls act on that belief:Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really,really smart”.Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer:absolutely not.
Here’s the good news.In a wired world with constant global communication,we’re all positioned to see flashes of geniuses wherever they appear.And the more we look,the more we will see that social factors like gender,race,and class do not determine the appearance of geniuses.As a writer says,future geniuses come from those with “intelligence,creativity,perseverance,and simple good fortune,who are able to change the world”.
12.What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club
A.They’re unfair.
B.They’re conservative.
C.They’re objective.
D.They’re strict.
13.What can we infer about girls from the study in Science
A.They think themselves smart.
B.They look up to great thinkers.
C.They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D.They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.
14.Why are more geniuses known to the public
A.Improved global communication.
B.Less discrimination against women.
C.Acceptance of victors’ concepts.
D.Changes in people’s social positions.
15.What is the best title for the text
A.Geniuses Think Alike
B.Genius Takes Many Forms
C.Genius and Intelligence
D.Genius and Luck

A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance
We all want it...to accept and love ourselves.But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 16 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.
17 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough.Why do you follow them Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs Know that your life is your own;you are the only you in this world.
Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.We are often ashamed of our shortcomings,our mistakes and our failures. 18 You will make mistakes,time and time again.Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better,why not offer yourself a compassionate response “That didn’t go as planned.But,I tried my best.”
Recognize all of your strengths.Write them down in a journal.Begin to train your brain to look at strengths before weaknesses.List all of your accomplishments and achievements.You have a job,earn your degree,and you get out of bed today. 19
Now that you’ve listed your strengths,list your imperfections.Turn the page in your journal.Put into words why you feel unworthy,why you don’t feel good enough.Now,read these words back to yourself. 20 Turn to the page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.See how awesome you are
A.Feeling upset again
B.Where do you start
C.Nothing is too small to celebrate.
D.Remember,you are only a human.
E.Set an intention for self-acceptance.
F.Stop comparing yourself with others.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
As a teacher,my daily routine includes driving to a new school almost every day so I’m usually unable to predict the day’s events,good or bad!
On one particular day,I was teaching in a very difficult class.Some of the schoolboys didn’t finish their homework on time and that really annoyed me.I was managing behaviour all morning and by lunchtime I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon.So on my lunchtime,I drove to a nearby plaza to get a cup of coffee.There I had a wonderful time and forgot the unpleasant experience in the morning.Upon returning to the car,I realized I had locked my keys and my phone inside!I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4-or-5-minute drive away.I considered rushing back,but it was winter,and I thought a dirty fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.
So I ran into a Mcdonald’s which was in the same plaza and asked the man at the counter to call me a cab.The man happened to be the manager of the restaurant.I briefly explained my situation to him,and I could tell by the look,that he empathized.He hurried to the back to use the phone while I paced in the restaurant.I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point.
The manager returned,only to tell me that the cab company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected,and that he was now on hold again,but had not yet been able to request the cab yet.My expression,I am sure,began to resemble some combination of hopelessness and fear.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Without a thought,the manager grabbed his coat and offered to drive me to the school.
The manager’s calm behaviour and kind nature made me think

答案：
【语篇解读】本文是一则广告。这篇短文主要介绍了四本针对少年儿童的书,详细介绍了每本书的主要内容、价格等信息。
1.C 推理判断题。分别由“Here are the answers to the questions most often asked by parents,teachers,business trainers and by students themselves”“L.Ron Hubbard’s study technology for teenagers opens the door...”“The basics of effective study for 8 to 12-year-olds,fully illustrated.”和“Written for children 8 to 12-year-olds,this fully illustrated book will...”可知,本文中这四本书主要是针对少年儿童的书籍,故选C项。
2.A 细节理解题。根据“Fully illustrated for easy understanding”可知,配插图是为了帮助读者理解。故选A项。
3.C 细节理解题。根据“Written for children 8 to 12-year-olds,this fully illustrated book will teach your child...”可知,How to Use a Dictionary Picture Book for Children是教8到12岁的孩子如何使用字典的,故选C项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述作者自己的经历,起初搬到伦敦很不适应,但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方,结识了玩滑板的朋友,因此很好地适应了。作者回到伦敦之后,经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆,在与一个玩滑板的孩子打招呼的时候,终于找到了自己久违的熟悉感。
4.A 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me.Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days,I felt at a loss and out of place.”可知,作者刚到伦敦的时候因为没有喜爱的沙滩,不能很好地融入新的城市,感到很沮丧,故选A项。
5.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“And that’s what mattered—landing tricks,being a good skater.”可知,作者掌握了滑板落地技巧,因此他的朋友大声欢呼,因此可以推出本句的Safe是赞美的含义,结合选项,故选B项。
6.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘I was a local here 20 years ago,’I told him.Then,slowly,he began to nod his head.‘Safe,man.Safe.’”可推知,作者去Southbank这个地方是为了寻找自己玩滑板的回忆,故选D项。
7.C 推理判断题。根据全文可知,作者起初搬到伦敦很不适应,但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方,结识了玩滑板的朋友,因此很好地适应了。但是搬去华盛顿,因为没有遇到很好的玩滑板的朋友,几年之后就不再玩滑板,作者回到伦敦之后,经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆,在与一个孩子打招呼的时候,终于找到了自己久违的回忆。通过作者的经历,作者要表达的是,归属感对于孩子是很重要的,故选C项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚使用固定电话的情况,并且表达了固定电话是非必需品的观点。
8.B 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段可推知,本段主要说明手机在澳大利亚广受欢迎。故选B项。
9.A 词义猜测题。根据画线单词的上文“Of those Australians who still have a landline”可知,这个调查的目标人群是仍然有固定电话的澳大利亚人;根据下文“it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket—19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies”可知,很多人认为固定电话并不是必须拥有的,有些人保留固定电话只是为了防止紧急情况。从而推知,在调查中,他们应该是承认了固定电话的非必要性。由此推知,画线单词“concede”意为“承认”。故选A项。
10.C 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.”以及文章第五段中“That said,to be honest,the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers’ parents”可推知,婴儿潮时代的人一直用固定电话。故选C项。
11.B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可推知,本段使用类比的方式,使用煤气路灯以及早晨送牛奶已经被淘汰的例子,侧面说明了固定电话总有一天会废弃的。故选B项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章由问题“谁是天才 ”引入,论述了世人对天才的狭隘定义,提出事实上“天才”有很多种形式,不要让思维限制了我们的“天才”能力。
12.A 推理判断题。根据第三段的“It’s said that history is written by victors,and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women,or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.”可推知,作者认为那些“胜利者”对进入“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的,因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A项。
13.D 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even worse,the study found that girls act on that belief:Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are ‘really,really smart’.”可推知,女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响,认为自己在六岁左右就不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。故选D项。
14.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“In a wired world with constant global communication,we’re all positioned to see flashes of geniuses wherever they appear.”可知,进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。故选A项。
15.B 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,结合文章第一段提出问题“Who is a genius ”和最后一段的“As a writer says,future geniuses come from those with ‘intelligence,creativity,perseverance,and simple good fortune,who are able to change the world’”可知,天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人,他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B项。
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个自我接纳的小技巧。
16.B 根据题目A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance及下文的“Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.”可知,B项最符合下文语境,故选B项。
17.F 根据下文“Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs Know that your life is your own;you are the only you in this world.”可知,本段主要讲述不要把自己和别人作比较,因为生活是我们自己的,我们也是世界上独一无二的。故F项可以作为本段中心句,故选F项。
18.D 根据本段的中心句“Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.”及下文的“You will make mistakes,time and time again.”可知,D项与上下文衔接最好,故选D项。
19.C 根据上文“List all of your accomplishments and achievements.You have a job,earn your degree,and you get out of bed today.”可知,C项与上文衔接最好,故选C项。
20.A 结合上文“Put into words why you feel unworthy,why you don’t feel good enough.Now,read these words back to yourself.”和下文的“Turn to the page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.See how awesome you are ”可知,A项最符合上下文语境,故选A项。

Good afternoon,everyone!
Today I feel honored to have a chance to share with you my dream.

Thank you for listening.
第二节
Without a thought,the manager grabbed his coat and offered to drive me to the school.Without hesitation,I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes to spare before the bell!Upon arriving at the school,I thanked this man endlessly.
The manager’s calm behaviour and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for,and also a wonderful human being to have on this earth.This experience makes me realize that out of every seemingly hopeless situation,there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to happen,which can have an unimaginable impact on those who receive them.
