答案及剖析:21.D 根据下文可知此处指“有趣的”,其他三项不符合题意。
22.B 根据下文可知选B。continent大陆,洲,不可能有over fifty different continents,A、D也不符合题意。

24.B 本句意为“自那以后,她的生活完全改变了”。故选life。decision决定;appearance外貌;opinion想法。
25.A 由下文“to France”可知她出国了,故选abroad;go out太笼统了;go through经历(苦难、痛苦等);go home回家,也不恰当。

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。
( A )[]
I have never traveled by plane but I would like to and I hope to have the opportunity very soon.Anyway,one can find advantages and disadvantages when traveling by plane.
The most important advantage is that it is the fastest means of transport when referring to long-distance travel.One can arrive in Spain in almost two hours and a half by plane.He can’t even figure out how time has passed and he has arrived at his destination.He does not have to wait three days in order to arrive in Spain by coach (长途公共汽车),which makes him feel pain in his legs and feel tired because he hasn’t slept more than three hours in the last three days.
Then,think about the conditions which are at our beck and call:we are attended by a beautiful hostess who will take care of us on the flight.The comfort helps us forget about the possibility of some technical problems and of an undeserved accident.
Anyway,many people feel scared when it comes to flying in a plane.They say that the risks of losing your life in plane travel are higher than in car travel.
Apart from this disadvantage,there are people who don’t choose to travel by plane because they get altitude sickness and they think air fares are too high.
One piece of advice I would like to give to people who choose to travel by plane is that they should not even think for a second about the plane crashing.Just relax,be comfortable and everything will be all right.Planes are well equipped and advanced technology tries to offer total protection to all passengers.
41.From the text,we can learn that .
A.it’s a good choice to have long-distance travel by plane
B.there may be a few technical problems when people travel by plane
C.the author usually travels by plane
D.most people feel sick the first time they take a plane
42.What does the underlined phrase in the third paragraph mean ( )
A.Ready to serve us at any time.
B.Far away from us.
C.Out of our control.
D.Necessary in our life.
43.Which of the following is NOT the reason why people don’t like to travel by plane ( )
A.The risk of losing life is higher by plane.
B.Some people have altitude sickness.
C.It costs more to take a plane.
D.They can’t have a good sleep on a plane.
44.What’s the author’s attitude towards plane travel ( )
A.She is in favour of it.
B.She is strongly against it.
C.She shows no concern about it.
D.She is doubtful about it.
答案及剖析:41.A 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The most important advantage is that it is the fastest means of transport when referring to long-distance travel.”可知,对于长途旅行,乘坐飞机是最快的交通方式。故A正确。
42.A 猜测词义题。根据下文“we are attended by a beautiful hostess who will take care of us on the flight”可知,我们在飞机上会得到服务。
43.D 细节理解题。根据第四、五段中的“...the risks of losing your life in plane travel are higher...”和“...because they get altitude sickness and they think air fares are too high.”判断,A、B、C均正确。故选D。
44.A 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“I have never traveled by plane but I would like to and I hope to have the opportunity very soon.”及作者介绍乘坐飞机的优点,并最后给出乘坐飞机的建议,可以推断作者的态度是赞成乘坐飞机的。

(2013浙江台州路桥中学高一上学期期中考试)
It was Christmas 1961.I was teaching in a small town in Ohio where my twenty-seven third graders eagerly anticipated the great day of gift giving.
Each day the children made some new wonders—strings of popcorn,hand-made decorations,and German bells made from wallpaper samples,which we hung from the ceiling.Through it all she stayed indifferent (漠不关心的),watching from afar,seemingly miles away.I wondered what would happen to this quiet child,once so happy,now so suddenly unsociable.I hoped the festivities would light her up.But nothing did.[]
The day of gift giving finally came.We oohed and aahed over our handwork as the presents were exchanged.Through it all,she sat quietly watching.I had made a special package for her,red and green with white lace.I wanted very much to see her smile.She opened it so slowly and carefully.I waited but she turned away.
After school the children left in little groups,but she hesitated,watching them go out of the door.I sat down to catch my breath,hardly know what was happening when she came to me reaching out her hands,holding a small white box,unwrapped and slightly soiled,as though it had been held many times by unwashed,childish hands.“For me ” I asked with a weak smile.She said not a word,but nodded her head.I took the box and carefully opened it.There inside,lay a golden chain.In a flash I knew—she had made it for her mother,a mother she would never see again,a mother who would never hold her or brush her hair or share a funny story,a mother who would never again hear her childish joys or sorrows,a mother who had taken her own life just three weeks before.
I held out the chain.She took it in both her hands,reached forward,and put it on at the back of my neck.She stepped back then as if to see that all was well.I looked down at the golden chain,then back at the giver,“Maria,it is so beautiful.She would have loved it.” Neither of us could stop the tears.She threw herself into my arms and we were in tears together.And for that moment I became her mother,for she had given me the greatest gift of all: herself.
45.The underlined word “anticipated” (Paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to .
A.prepared B.expected C.talked D.kept
46.We can learn from the story that .
A.the beautiful chain was put inside a beautiful box
B.Maria made a golden chain of popcorn for her mother
C.the teacher made a special package for Maria so as to see her smile
D.Maria oohed and aahed over the handwork as the presents were exchanged
47.Maria became quiet and unsociable because .
A.she was a shy girl
B.her teacher didn’t give her any gift
C.her mother passed away three weeks ago
D.she didn’t have any friends in the class
48.The underlined sentence (Paragraph 5) mostly means .
A.Maria found her biological mother
B.Maria asked her teacher to be her mother
C.the teacher promised to be Maria’s mother after receiving her greatest gift
D.Maria believed in her considerate teacher and opened her heart to the teacher
49.The best title for the passage is .
A.The kid’s gift B.A quiet girl
C.The greatest teacher D.The great day of gift giving
这是一则感人的亲情故事。事情发生在1961年的圣诞节,女学生Maria丧母不久,老师希望看到她的微笑,然后……,让我们去体会这感人的“母女深情”吧。
答案及剖析:45.B 词义猜测题。从文章第一段...where my twenty-seven third graders eagerly anticipated the great day of gift giving.推知,词义同“期望,期待”,选B项。
46.C 事实细节题。从第三段中I had made a special package for her,red and green with white lace.I wanted very much to see her smile.推知,我希望看到她的微笑,所以选C项。
47.C 推理判断题。从第四段中she had made it for her mother,a mother she would never see again...a mother who had taken her own life just three weeks before.推知,她母亲刚不久前过世,选C项。
48.D 句意理解题。从文章最后一段知,Maria向老师敞开了心扉,吐露了心声,所以选D项。
49.A 主旨大意题。从文章知,老师非常体贴,对Maria非常照顾,Maria虽然刚丧母不久,但深深感受到了母爱,所以用A项能概括全文,答案选A项。
( C )
(2013浙江嵊泗中学高一上第二次月考)
Joe,31,has spent nearly three years in a prison in Douglas,South Africa,counting the days in prison for housebreaking.Joe made bad friends,who were always talking about stealing.Later,Joe did things bad.
“I want to be a bright,bright star.I want people,when they hear me,to see the darkness a little less.”[]
The first seven months in prison he thought about “everything”.Then he started to write songs.“ I started to put my feelings into words,” said Joe.
Aron Turest-Swartz,Freshly Ground’s founder,noticed Joe’s music.“ I was really shocked because I hadn’t heard a voice like that before,”he said.Turest-Swartz visited Joe and listened to some of the 40 songs he had written in prison,and came up with the idea of recording an album (唱片) there.
When Joe was 13,his family was very poor: his sister would tell him that she had a headache because of no enough food,but there was nothing to give her.Joe made bad friends,who were always talking about stealing.Later,Joe did things bad.Finally,he was put behind bars.
Prison could have broken him: he couldn’t even see his family members buried.His father died when he was in prison.So did Joe’s 18-month-old daughter.Before prison,he’d seen her in the hospital.Joe felt broken when she died.But he marked the time of his rebirth—his decision to be a better man—from that moment.“ I decided to be myself.So I started behaving like a gentleman,”he said.
On December 13,2010,the album he recorded in prison was timed for release ( 发行).He was set free for good behavior after two years and 10 months.That afternoon,Joe gave a concert at the prison to celebrate his freedom and his CD,Crazy Life.Joe got into a crowd favorite.
50.Why was Joe put into prison ( )
A.For fighting.
B.For stealing.
C.For being crazy.
D.For killing someone.
51.Joe was put into prison when he was about .
A.13 years old B.31 years old
C.28 years old D.10 years old
52.What does the underlined part “ he was put behind bars” in Paragraph 5 probably mean ( )
A.He failed to help his family.
B.He was hidden behind bars.
C.He was put into prison.
D.He was among his bad friends.
53.What made Joe become a good man ( )
A.His love for music. B.His prison life.
C.His father’s death. D.His daughter’s death.
54.Joe’s songs are very attractive because .
A.they are about his family
B.they are about his father’s life
C.Turest-Swartz wrote the songs
D.his feelings are added to the songs
Joe的过去很悲惨,坐牢,丧父,失女等等,但这并没有打磨掉他的不屈的性格,他终于挺过来了。
答案及剖析:50.B 事实细节题。从第一段第一句中 for housebreaking “因为入室行窃”知,他因为偷窃被拘捕入狱,选B项。
51.C 推理判断题。从第一段第一句推断知,他现在31岁,入狱近3年,可知当初是28岁,所以选C项。
52.C 句意理解题。behind bars意为“被监禁,坐牢”,且从Joe made bad friends,who were always talking about stealing.Later,Joe did things bad.Finally,he was put behind bars.并结合全文推知,这里表示“他被捕入狱了”,选C项。
53.D 推理判断题。从文章Joe felt broken when she died...from that moment.“ I decided to be myself.So I started behaving like a gentleman,”he said.推知,他女儿的去世让他振作了起来,所以选D项。
54.D 推理判断题。从文章中知,Joe的歌曲充满了深情,饱含着他的感情,所以答案选D项。
( D )
He came into the room to shut the windows while we were still in bed and I saw he looked ill.He was trembling,his face was white,and he walked slowly as though it ached to move.
‘What’s the matter,Schatz ’
‘I’ve got a headache.’
‘You’d better go back to bed.’
‘No,I’m all right.’
‘You go to bed.I’ll see you when I’m dressed.’
But when I came downstairs he was dressed,sitting by the fire,looking a very sick and miserable boy of nine years.When I put my hand on his forehead I knew he had a fever.
‘You go up to bed,’ I said,‘you’re sick.’
‘I’m all right,’ he said.
When the doctor came he took the boy’s temperature.
‘What is it ’ I asked him.
‘One hundred and two.’
Downstairs,the doctor left three different medicines in different colored capsules with instructions for giving them.One was to bring down the fever,another a purgative (泻药),the third to overcome an acid condition.The germs of influenza can only exist in an acid condition,he explained.He seemed to know all about influenza and said there was nothing to worry about if the fever did not go above one hundred and four degrees.This was a light epidemic of flu and there was no danger if you avoided pneumonia (肺炎).
Back in the room I wrote the boy’s temperature down and made a note of the time to give the various capsules.
‘Do you want me to read to you ’
‘All right.If you want to,’ said the boy.His face was very white and there were dark areas under his eyes.He lay still in bed and seemed very separated from what was going on.
I read aloud from Howard Pyle’s Book of Pirates; but I could see he was not following what I was reading.
‘How do you feel,Schatz ’ I asked him.
‘Just the same,so far,’ he said.
I sat at the foot of the bed and read to myself while I waited for it to be time to give another capsule.It would have been natural for him to go to sleep,but when I looked up he was looking at the foot of the bed,looking very strangely.
‘Why don’t you try to go to sleep I’ll wake you up for the medicine.’
‘I’d rather stay awake.’
After a while he said to me,‘You don’t have to stay here with me,Papa,if it bothers you.’
‘It doesn’t bother me.’
‘No,I mean you don’t have to stay if it’s going to bother you.’
I thought perhaps he was a little light-headed and after giving him the prescribed capsule at eleven o’clock I went out for a while.
It was a bright,cold day,the ground covered with sleet that had frozen so that it seemed as if all the bare trees,the bushes,the cut brush and all the grass and the bare ground had been varnished with ice.I took the young Irish dog for a little walk up the road and along a frozen creek,but it was difficult to stand or walk on the glassy surface and the red dog slipped and I fell twice,hard,once dropping my gun and having it slide away over the ice.
After some time,we got back home.At the house they said the boy had refused to let anyone come into the room.
‘You can’t come in,’ he said.‘You mustn’t get what I have.’
I went up to him and found him in exactly the position I had left him,white-faced,but with the tops of his cheeks flushed by the fever,staring still,as he had stared,at the foot of the bed.
I took his temperature.
‘What is it ’
‘Something like a hundred,’ I said.It was one hundred and two and four tenth.
‘It was a hundred and two,’ he said.
‘Who said so ’
‘The doctor.’
‘Your temperature is all right,’ I said.It’s nothing to worry about.’
‘I don’t worry,’ he said,‘but I can’t keep from thinking.’
‘Don’t think,’ I said.‘Just take it easy.’
‘I’m taking it easy,’ he said and looked straight ahead.He was evidently holding tight onto himself about something.
‘Take this with water.’
‘Do you think it will do any good ’
‘Of course it will.’
I sat down and opened the Pirate book and commenced to read,but I could see he was not following,so I stopped.
‘About what time do you think I’m going to die ’ he asked.
‘What ’
‘About how long will it be before I die ’
‘You aren’t going to die.What’s the matter with you ’
‘Oh,yes,I am.I heard him say a hundred and two.’
‘People don’t die with a fever of one hundred and two.That’s a silly way to talk.’
‘I know they do.At school in France the boys told me you can’t live with forty-four degrees.I’ve got a hundred and two.’
He had been waiting to die all day,ever since nine o’clock in the morning.
‘You poor Schatz,’ I said.‘Poor old Schatz.It’s like miles and kilometers.You aren’t going to die.That’s a different thermometer.On that thermometer thirty-seven is normal.On this kind it’s ninety-eight.’
‘Are you sure ’
‘Absolutely,’ I said.‘It’s like miles and kilometers.You know,like how many kilometers we make when we do seventy miles in the car ’
‘Oh,’ he said.
But his gaze at the foot of his bed relaxed slowly.The hold over himself relaxed too,finally,and the next day it was very slack and he cried very easily at little things that were of no importance.

这篇文章讲述了一个九岁的男孩,由于不了解“华氏”和“摄氏”(Celsius)换算方法,误以为自己发烧快要“死”了。 所以一整天都处在等待死亡的过程中,最后却发现是自己误解弄错了。
答案及剖析:55.B 主旨大意题。从全文知,主要讲述一个九岁的男孩,由于不了解“华氏”和“摄氏”换算方法,误以为自己发烧快要死了。小说形象、具体、细致地刻画了“一天等待死亡”的过程,所以用A day’s wait能简洁地概括大意,合适作标题。选B。
56.B 词义猜测题。根据上下文I sat down and opened the Pirate book and commenced to read,but I could...知,我坐下,打开书,然后开始阅读,所以commence词义同begin/start。选B。
57.D 事实细节题。从文章知,小男孩由于不了解“华氏”和“摄氏”换算方法,从而误解了医生告诉家人的话。选D。
58.B 推理判断题。从文章On that thermometer thirty-seven is normal.On this kind it’s ninety-eight.知,“华氏”和“摄氏”大概相差在60左右,所以B项相对比较接近,故选B。
59.C 事实细节题。小男孩由于误解了医生告诉家人的话,还以为快死了,所以拒绝开门,表明他对自己的健康感到了绝望。选C。
60.A 推理判断题。从全文最后知,小男孩非常天真,但还有些无知,所以选A项符合。

How to Find Yourself
Do you often feel lost Do you think you are living somebody else’s life If yes,discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article.
61.
If you are thinking,“how to find yourself when you are lost ”,then the first thing to do is to have a rest from everything—work,personal life and all worldly things.Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost.Is it because of over work Is it because you are not leading a life that you want to Or is it because you are not satisfied with the people or things around you Try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your restlessness.
62.
For once,instead of being the way others want you to be,be yourself.Look within and find yourself in you.Think about the things that you would want to do if you didn’t have any family obligations or any money issues.Think about the kind of relationship you would want to be in,the place that you would like to stay in,the kind of lifestyle you would like to lead,if you didn’t have the society or people around you,judging all the time.If you really want to know how to find inner peace,then think,what you would want others to describe you as—an honest person Or adventurous Or loving,or realistic Once you look within,you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that.[]
63.
Thinking deeply about the past,the time or situations when you were the happiest,is another way to find yourself.Think what you were doing or with whom you were,when you were the happiest.This will help you to identify things that you want to do in life that make you happy and also certain people whose company you enjoy.
64.
Knowing yourself and determining what you to do with your life will not come to you in a day or two.Discovering oneself is an ongoing process and it can take months or sometimes even years to truly find yourself.So,it’s important that you maintain a written record of all your feelings and thoughts,which you can go through at a later stage.Pour all your emotions and feelings about life in it and who knows may be one day going through it,you will find yourself.
65.
Once you have discovered what you want to do with your life,make a move for change and self-improvement.Even if it means taking up small things such as dancing or painting,go ahead and do it.If you want a career change,plan and take steps so that it can take place smoothly.If you are stuck in a bad relationship and find yourself unable to mend it,break away.At the beginning,you may find yourself slightly unbalanced,but with time everything will be fine.
It is very important for you to truly find yourself,before it is too late.If you do not find yourself now,you will spend your life with somebody you do not even know,i.e.yourself.

One possible version:
Dear Li Ping,
The National Day is over.We spent a happy 7-day long leave.
My parents and I went to the countryside not far away from our home to have a two-day trip by bicycle.We set out at 7 o’clock in the morning on October 1.My dad and I took different kinds of things for our picnic.Having got there, we began to fish.After that we enjoyed my mum’s cooking, which was very delicious.Cycling there made myself completely relaxed.Beautiful scenery and warmth with my parents made me a lot happier. Besides, we stayed in my uncle’s and had a small family party there at night.We returned the next afternoon.That is a better National Day for me.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Wang Fei
