第二部分 阅读理解（40分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。（30分）
A
Though it is very cold during winter in north China， the northern Chinese have the custom of eating frozen food in the freezing days. Sellers would walk around to sell their frozen suckers in the streets during severe winter， and sometimes ice cream， strings of sugar-coated haws （冰糖葫芦）， and so on. There are generally three reasons for the northeasterners to form the habit： firstly， the good living condition， though it is freezing cold outside， it is quite warm indoors， so people gradually get accustomed to the dramatic change of temperature; secondly， sound physical conditions and tremendous meat eating， great heat stored in the body， so it would not matter much to have a frozen sucker; finally， having frozen sucker in winter would stimulate （刺激） the appetite and strengthen the constriction of blood vessels， thus accelerate blood circulation， improve health and defer the aging of physiological function.
The northeasterners have kept the custom of eating frozen dumplings in winter， especially during the Spring Festival. They put the dumplings outdoors to get frozen， and then put the frozen ones in a bag. When they'd like to eat the dumplings， they would put them in the boiler to cook. The cooked frozen dumplings taste as fresh and delicious as newly-made ones.
The long winter brings people coldness， but a convenient natural fridge as well. As the fruit produced in northeast China is limited， the northeasterners usually buy fruits from other places in China. The fruits tend to rot during spring and summer， yet keep fresh in winter thanks to the cold temperature. Fruits like frozen pears， frozen persimmons （柿子）， and frozen apples are as hard as steel balls. People not knowing the case can hardly taste the frozen fruits， but the northeasterners have their knack to enjoy the fruits. They neither use hot water or big fire to defreeze the fruits; instead， they would put them into cold water and dip them for half an hour until a layer of ice appears outside the fruits. By the time the inside has been softened， and just a small bite， you can enjoy the sour， sweet and crisp taste， which is appetite-stimulating.
1. What can “frozen sucker” be in the text？
A. A kind of ice cream. B. A sweet piece of ice.
C. A kind of soft drink. D. A kind of vegetable.
2. The northeasterners eat frozen food in winter for some reasons EXCEPT that ____.
A. they have a good living condition B. it's beneficial for health
C. they have strong bodies D. it's convenient to store food
3. Which statement about frozen dumplings is wrong？
A. They are stored in bags. B. They get frozen in the refrigerators.
C. They are eaten during the Spring Festival.
D. They taste as delicious as newly-made ones.
4. What is Paragraph 3 mainly talking about？
A. Frozen pears. B. Frozen persimmons. C. Frozen apples. D. Frozen fruits.
B
I will never forget what my old headmaster had taught me. Normally when you are only 15 years old of age you do not remember most of the things that are taught by your teachers. But， this particular story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course， I get reminded of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning， and he was addressing the students on important things in life and about committing ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went：
An old man lived in a certain part of London， and would wake up every morning and go to the subway. He would get the train right to Central London， and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His house was dirty and it smelled horrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell anymore， so they asked the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money， and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house to share the good news with him. When he arrived home that evening， he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now， a millionaire.
He said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual， went to the subway， got into the train， and sat at the street corner and continued to beg.
Obviously， this old man had no great plans， dreams or anything important for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.
5. The headmaster told the story to the students to ____.
A. make the students relaxed in the lesson B. remind the students to think deeply
C. show how poor the old man was D. encourage the students to become rich
6. After hearing what the officer said， the old man ____.
A. believed the officer was playing a joke on him
B. didn't know many people respected him a lot
C. was very angry to find his house broken into
D. was not so excited as the officer had expected
7. What did the author learn from the story？
A. One should devote himself to his dream.
B. The old man was foolish not to stop begging.
C. What the headmaster taught was very important.
D. People must have a plan before taking action.
8. Which word can best describe the author's attitude towards the old man？
A. Pity. B. Disappointment. C. Respect. D. Fool.
C
Do you like shopping？ Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror？ For some of us， shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me， it's something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet！ It's more convenient to buy CDs， electrical items， even food， from the comfort of your sofa. But that's not the only reason： price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called “show rooming”.
Show rooming is something I've done. I will go to a shop to see， touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price. I'm not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof， found 24% of people show roomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.
Amy Cushman， Head of Technology at TNS UK， says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time， lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.” She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smart phones to shop around.
But does this mean technology will kill shops？ Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts.
We mustn't forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. It's good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by show rooming， you get the best of both worlds！
9. The two questions in Paragraph 1 are raised to ____.
A. introduce the topic B. give two examples
C. compare different opinions D. get answers from readers
10. What does show rooming mean in the text？
A. Trying in shops and buying online. B. Showing products in a room.
C. Buying something in a store. D. Shopping on the Internet.
11. According to Amy Cushman， which is not the reason for show rooming？
A. The lack of time. B. The comfort of the sofa.
C. The shortness of money. D. The security of the product.
12. The author's attitude towards show rooming is ____.
A. critical B. neutral C. supportive D. casual
D

A. is too talkative in the class

D. becomes weak because he doesn't exercise at all
14. Which of Simon's subjects will attract the headmaster's attention in future？

Answer your internal questions.
Sometimes the distractions are coming from within. When these distracting questions invade， accept them， then push them aside with a logical answer. _5_ If you answer your own internal questions， you'll focus your mind back where you want it to go.

In my opinion， there are advantages and disadvantages travel both by plane or by train. Traveling by plane is time-saving and comfortably. You can have a good rest during the trip， and it is too expensive. If you travel by railway， therefore， it is too crowded. So you can see every coin has two sides. You'd better choose any of them according to your owns interest and money.

W： Hey！ Look at this！
M： What？ Are you getting interested in nineteenth century poetry all of a sudden？

M： I thought all programmers required one to know a foreign language. Thank you for letting me know this.
听第10段材料， 回答第17至20题。
Media such as TV， radio and newspapers affect people's shopping behavior greatly. The most common way is through advertisement. We can see or hear ads everywhere， in the newspapers， in the street， on the buses or on the radio. We are usually interested in these ads and often want to buy the products advertised. This is just what the manufactures hope for. They spend a lot of money to advertise their products through various media. The ads can provide you with a lot of information about the various items. So ads benefit not only manufactures but also shoppers.
In modern society， computers have also become a new medium. People get information about the products on the Internet. This is a faster， easier and more exact way for both shopping and advertising than any other way. The Internet will play an increasingly important role in people's shopping.

第二部分：

11—15 BCABB
II. 1—5 CAGDF
第三部分：
第一节：
1. C。由上文“a passion for art collecting ... they traveled around the world”可以推測出，他们周游世界是在搜集世界上“最好的”艺术珍品。
2. D。由该段最后一句话“The young man had died while rushing a fellow soldier to a doctor.”可以看出，这里表达的意思是：有一年，随着冬天的来临，“战争”吞没了整个国家，小伙子离开家乡到前线报效国家。
3. C。这里指的是年轻人参军“报效”国家。serve the country报效祖国。save挽救;help帮助;build建设。
4. A。下一句告诉我们，这位父亲在等待更多的关于儿子的消息，担心再也见不到自己的儿子，由此可以看出，电报上只是说儿子失踪了，所以选missing失踪的。
5. B。收到了儿子在战场上失踪的电报，害怕再也见不到儿子，在等待更多消息的心情应该是“不安的”，所以选anxiously。calmly 冷静地;quietly 安静地; secretly秘密地。
6. A。
7. D。由下一句可以看出，他所担心的事情真的发生了，他的儿子牺牲了。所以选confirm（得到）证实。complete 完成;double加倍; remove移开。
8. C。儿子去世了，父亲感到很孤独，所以选lonely孤独的。A项的干扰性很大，但是nervous不安的，和and前的upset意思重复。
9. A。上一句中有选项的名词形式sadness复现。句意：圣诞节的上午，敲门声唤醒了这位（因失去儿子）伤心的老人。
10. B。由来人的自我介绍中的“I was the one he was ____ when he died.” 可以看出，这位来客就是老人的儿子牺牲时救的那个人，再结合第二段的“The young man had died while rushing a fellow soldier to a doctor.”可以看出，他也是一位士兵。故选soldier。下文中“the soldier told of how ...”也提示了答案。
11. D。能够舍身相救，四个选项中只有friend符合语境。
12. A。由第二段的最后一句话可知答案。rescue挽救。
13. C。由语境以及下文的told可以看出，这两个人进行了一些谈话，所以选talk。
14. B。对应第一段的“a passion for art collecting”，所以选love。句意：战士告诉老人，他儿子生前告诉大家他非常热爱艺术品，更不用说他的父亲了。
15. A。好的艺术作品都是艺术家创作的，而战士带来的礼物是战士自己画的，所以他要表达的意思是：我知道你很喜欢艺术珍品，我虽然不是艺术家，但是我画了一幅您儿子的肖像，送给您。所以选artist。
16. B。世界上绝对不会有人认为这是一位天才画家的作品（尽管这幅画画得不是多么好），但是却细致地勾画出了小伙子的面部特征。所以选never。
17. C。in detail详细地。
18. A。收到了别人精心准备的礼物（自己儿子的肖像），自然应该感谢。
19. C。push aside 把……向旁边推。句意：老人把以前收藏的价值连城的艺术品放到了一边，而把儿子的画像挂到了最显眼的位置。

第二部分 阅读理解（40分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。（30分）
A
Though it is very cold during winter in north China， the northern Chinese have the custom of eating frozen food in the freezing days. Sellers would walk around to sell their frozen suckers in the streets during severe winter， and sometimes ice cream， strings of sugar-coated haws （冰糖葫芦）， and so on. There are generally three reasons for the northeasterners to form the habit： firstly， the good living condition， though it is freezing cold outside， it is quite warm indoors， so people gradually get accustomed to the dramatic change of temperature; secondly， sound physical conditions and tremendous meat eating， great heat stored in the body， so it would not matter much to have a frozen sucker; finally， having frozen sucker in winter would stimulate （刺激） the appetite and strengthen the constriction of blood vessels， thus accelerate blood circulation， improve health and defer the aging of physiological function.
The northeasterners have kept the custom of eating frozen dumplings in winter， especially during the Spring Festival. They put the dumplings outdoors to get frozen， and then put the frozen ones in a bag. When they'd like to eat the dumplings， they would put them in the boiler to cook. The cooked frozen dumplings taste as fresh and delicious as newly-made ones.
The long winter brings people coldness， but a convenient natural fridge as well. As the fruit produced in northeast China is limited， the northeasterners usually buy fruits from other places in China. The fruits tend to rot during spring and summer， yet keep fresh in winter thanks to the cold temperature. Fruits like frozen pears， frozen persimmons （柿子）， and frozen apples are as hard as steel balls. People not knowing the case can hardly taste the frozen fruits， but the northeasterners have their knack to enjoy the fruits. They neither use hot water or big fire to defreeze the fruits; instead， they would put them into cold water and dip them for half an hour until a layer of ice appears outside the fruits. By the time the inside has been softened， and just a small bite， you can enjoy the sour， sweet and crisp taste， which is appetite-stimulating.
1. What can “frozen sucker” be in the text？
A. A kind of ice cream. B. A sweet piece of ice.
C. A kind of soft drink. D. A kind of vegetable.
2. The northeasterners eat frozen food in winter for some reasons EXCEPT that ____.
A. they have a good living condition B. it's beneficial for health
C. they have strong bodies D. it's convenient to store food
3. Which statement about frozen dumplings is wrong？
A. They are stored in bags. B. They get frozen in the refrigerators.
C. They are eaten during the Spring Festival.
D. They taste as delicious as newly-made ones.
4. What is Paragraph 3 mainly talking about？
A. Frozen pears. B. Frozen persimmons. C. Frozen apples. D. Frozen fruits.
B
I will never forget what my old headmaster had taught me. Normally when you are only 15 years old of age you do not remember most of the things that are taught by your teachers. But， this particular story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course， I get reminded of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning， and he was addressing the students on important things in life and about committing ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went：
An old man lived in a certain part of London， and would wake up every morning and go to the subway. He would get the train right to Central London， and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His house was dirty and it smelled horrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell anymore， so they asked the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money， and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house to share the good news with him. When he arrived home that evening， he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now， a millionaire.
He said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual， went to the subway， got into the train， and sat at the street corner and continued to beg.
Obviously， this old man had no great plans， dreams or anything important for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.
5. The headmaster told the story to the students to ____.
A. make the students relaxed in the lesson B. remind the students to think deeply
C. show how poor the old man was D. encourage the students to become rich
6. After hearing what the officer said， the old man ____.
A. believed the officer was playing a joke on him
B. didn't know many people respected him a lot
C. was very angry to find his house broken into
D. was not so excited as the officer had expected
7. What did the author learn from the story？
A. One should devote himself to his dream.
B. The old man was foolish not to stop begging.
C. What the headmaster taught was very important.
D. People must have a plan before taking action.
8. Which word can best describe the author's attitude towards the old man？
A. Pity. B. Disappointment. C. Respect. D. Fool.
C
Do you like shopping？ Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror？ For some of us， shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me， it's something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet！ It's more convenient to buy CDs， electrical items， even food， from the comfort of your sofa. But that's not the only reason： price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called “show rooming”.
Show rooming is something I've done. I will go to a shop to see， touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price. I'm not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof， found 24% of people show roomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.
Amy Cushman， Head of Technology at TNS UK， says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time， lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.” She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smart phones to shop around.
But does this mean technology will kill shops？ Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts.
We mustn't forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. It's good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by show rooming， you get the best of both worlds！
9. The two questions in Paragraph 1 are raised to ____.
A. introduce the topic B. give two examples
C. compare different opinions D. get answers from readers
10. What does show rooming mean in the text？
A. Trying in shops and buying online. B. Showing products in a room.
C. Buying something in a store. D. Shopping on the Internet.
11. According to Amy Cushman， which is not the reason for show rooming？
A. The lack of time. B. The comfort of the sofa.
C. The shortness of money. D. The security of the product.
12. The author's attitude towards show rooming is ____.
A. critical B. neutral C. supportive D. casual
D

Answer your internal questions.
Sometimes the distractions are coming from within. When these distracting questions invade， accept them， then push them aside with a logical answer. _5_ If you answer your own internal questions， you'll focus your mind back where you want it to go.

In my opinion， there are advantages and disadvantages travel both by plane or by train. Traveling by plane is time-saving and comfortably. You can have a good rest during the trip， and it is too expensive. If you travel by railway， therefore， it is too crowded. So you can see every coin has two sides. You'd better choose any of them according to your owns interest and money.

W： Hey！ Look at this！
M： What？ Are you getting interested in nineteenth century poetry all of a sudden？

M： Everything on that shelf is worth fifty cents.
W： But if this is a signature of someone who is well known， it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars.

W： Only a little now. But I'm going to take a special language class next month.

M： I thought all programmers required one to know a foreign language. Thank you for letting me know this.
听第10段材料， 回答第17至20题。
Media such as TV， radio and newspapers affect people's shopping behavior greatly. The most common way is through advertisement. We can see or hear ads everywhere， in the newspapers， in the street， on the buses or on the radio. We are usually interested in these ads and often want to buy the products advertised. This is just what the manufactures hope for. They spend a lot of money to advertise their products through various media. The ads can provide you with a lot of information about the various items. So ads benefit not only manufactures but also shoppers.
In modern society， computers have also become a new medium. People get information about the products on the Internet. This is a faster， easier and more exact way for both shopping and advertising than any other way. The Internet will play an increasingly important role in people's shopping.

第二部分：
I. 1—5 BDBDB 6—10 DACAA
11—15 BCABB
II. 1—5 CAGDF
第三部分：
第一节：
1. C。由上文“a passion for art collecting ... they traveled around the world”可以推測出，他们周游世界是在搜集世界上“最好的”艺术珍品。
2. D。由该段最后一句话“The young man had died while rushing a fellow soldier to a doctor.”可以看出，这里表达的意思是：有一年，随着冬天的来临，“战争”吞没了整个国家，小伙子离开家乡到前线报效国家。
3. C。这里指的是年轻人参军“报效”国家。serve the country报效祖国。save挽救;help帮助;build建设。
4. A。下一句告诉我们，这位父亲在等待更多的关于儿子的消息，担心再也见不到自己的儿子，由此可以看出，电报上只是说儿子失踪了，所以选missing失踪的。
5. B。收到了儿子在战场上失踪的电报，害怕再也见不到儿子，在等待更多消息的心情应该是“不安的”，所以选anxiously。calmly 冷静地;quietly 安静地; secretly秘密地。
6. A。
7. D。由下一句可以看出，他所担心的事情真的发生了，他的儿子牺牲了。所以选confirm（得到）证实。complete 完成;double加倍; remove移开。
8. C。儿子去世了，父亲感到很孤独，所以选lonely孤独的。A项的干扰性很大，但是nervous不安的，和and前的upset意思重复。
9. A。上一句中有选项的名词形式sadness复现。句意：圣诞节的上午，敲门声唤醒了这位（因失去儿子）伤心的老人。
10. B。由来人的自我介绍中的“I was the one he was ____ when he died.” 可以看出，这位来客就是老人的儿子牺牲时救的那个人，再结合第二段的“The young man had died while rushing a fellow soldier to a doctor.”可以看出，他也是一位士兵。故选soldier。下文中“the soldier told of how ...”也提示了答案。
11. D。能够舍身相救，四个选项中只有friend符合语境。
12. A。由第二段的最后一句话可知答案。rescue挽救。
13. C。由语境以及下文的told可以看出，这两个人进行了一些谈话，所以选talk。
14. B。对应第一段的“a passion for art collecting”，所以选love。句意：战士告诉老人，他儿子生前告诉大家他非常热爱艺术品，更不用说他的父亲了。
15. A。好的艺术作品都是艺术家创作的，而战士带来的礼物是战士自己画的，所以他要表达的意思是：我知道你很喜欢艺术珍品，我虽然不是艺术家，但是我画了一幅您儿子的肖像，送给您。所以选artist。
16. B。世界上绝对不会有人认为这是一位天才画家的作品（尽管这幅画画得不是多么好），但是却细致地勾画出了小伙子的面部特征。所以选never。
17. C。in detail详细地。
18. A。收到了别人精心准备的礼物（自己儿子的肖像），自然应该感谢。
19. C。push aside 把……向旁边推。句意：老人把以前收藏的价值连城的艺术品放到了一边，而把儿子的画像挂到了最显眼的位置。
20. B。这里指的是老人收到的礼物——战士送的画像，所以选gift。
第二节：
1. international。根据文章内容，英语为本族语的学生是“国际”学生，作定语要用形容词形式。
2. up。take up the responsibility意为“担起责任”。
3. limited。在English前用形容词作定语。
4. none。结合上下文来看，表示“没有一种课程”管用。
5. an。指看到“一则”广告，表示“一个（块，张等）”用不定冠词。
6. but。表示逻辑转折。文中指免费是有条件的。
7. what。引导宾语从句并在从句中作宾语，用what。
8. without。指两个月后就“不需要”手势就可以理解了。
9. rising。由文意可知，指目前或近阶段每一百户人家中接受外国人居住的数目“正在上升”。
10. not。整篇讲的都是口语，所以，对应的“应试”问题就不能解决了。

1. travel→traveling或travel前加to

4. therefore→however 5. any→either 6. own's→own 7. 去掉have 8. on train中间加a 或on→by 9. tired→tiring 10. me→us
第二节：One possible version：
Dear Liveinchina，
I'm Li Hua， one of your students in China. I'd like to give you some suggestions for your problems.
Firstly， try to be as friendly and polite as possible while having lessons. Give them a smile when they are puzzled.
Secondly， try to be patient， saying some magic words such as： “You are a smart boy; You can！” and so on. Never use discouraging words which will hurt them.
Thirdly， change your teaching method. Let the students act out more in your class and this will arouse their interests.
All in all， only when the students are delighted with you can they enjoy your lessons and you will gain a surprising result very soon.
Best wishes！
Yours，
Li Hua
