Ⅲ.阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
(A)
When Gretchen Baxter gets home from work as a New York City book editor, she checks her Blackberry at the door. “I think we are attached to these devices in a way that is not always positive,” says Baxter, who’d rather focus at home on her husband and 12-year-old daughter. “It’s there and it beckons(召唤). That’s human nature (but)…we kind of get crazy sometimes and we don’t know where it should stop.”
Americans are connected at unprecedented(前所未有的) levels—93% now use cell phones or wireless devices; one third of those are “smart phones” that allow users to browse the web and check e-mails, among other things. The benefits are obvious: checking messages on the road, staying in touch with friends and family, efficiently using time once spent waiting around. The downside: often, we’re effectively disconnecting from those in the same room.
That’s why, despite all the technology that makes communicating easier than ever, 2010 was the year we stopped talking to one another. From texting at dinner to posting on Facebook from work or checking e-mails while on a date, the connectivity revolution is creating a lot of divided attention, not to mention social anxiety. Many analysts say it’s time to step back and reassess (再评价).
“What we’re going to see in the future is new opportunities for people to be plugged in and connected like never before,” says Scott Campbell. “It can be a good thing, but I also see new ways the traditional social construction is getting somewhat torn apart.”
Our days are filled with beeps and pings—many of which pull us away from tasks at hand or face-to-face conversations. We may feel that the distractions(干扰) are too much, but we can’t seem to stop posting, texting or surfing. “We’re going through a period of adjustment and rebalancing, ” says Sherry Turkle and she wants to remind people that technology can be turned off. “Our human purposes are to really have connections with people,” she says. “We have to reclaim it. It’s not going to take place by itself.”
36. According to Paragraph 1, Gretchen Baxter thinks _____.
A. the new technology always influences people’s life in a positive way
B. the new technology always influences people’s life in a negative way
C. the family isn’t that important compared to the new technology
D. people are too dependent on the new technology to let go
37. The underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____.
A. advantage B. weakness
C. strength D. effect
38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The wide use of mobile devices has nothing to do with the traditional social construction.
B. Mobile devices play a less important part in American life.
C. Mobile devices create a lot of divided attention and social anxiety.
D. Many analysts speak highly of the wide popularity of mobile devices.
39. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Something must be done to get connection with people in reality again.
B. Using mobile services can help people get con- nection with each other.
C. Mobile services have a strong impact on people’s life.
D. The connection with people can happen naturally.

(2012·梅山高二检测)
I was an extremely verbal child, and growing up with my dad was an experiment in linguistics(语言学). My father was a man of few words. Whenever I wanted his permission for a certain activity, I planned a speech that included who would be there, where it would take place, how long it would last, and why it was an incredibly wonderful opportunity for me. He would listen and then say either “Yes” or “No.” There were never any qualifiers; not “Yes, but be home by dinner” or “No, unless you can convince me otherwise.” It was yes or no, plain and simple.
My father’s phone messages were also lessons in patience and long-suffering to a teenage girl. I was quite active in high school. Not only did I enjoy being involved in many areas, but I came into contact with many a great teenage guy. I can recall one busy day when I had met two great guys and had given each of them my phone number. The first words out of my mouth when I walked through the front door were, “Dad! Did anyone call?” His answer, of course, was simply “Yes”. I required for a more accurate description of the caller. His answer: “A boy.” Since I had met two guys that day, this did not help me. I ran to my room in tears.
Knowing my dad’s dislike of language in general and his fondness for briefness, it surprised me to hear that he was going to teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Sunday school class. He did so for not one, but many years. I always wondered if he actually said anything, or if they all just sat in their chairs and stared at each other. I was sure that if people were waiting on my father to break the ice with brilliant conversation or a springboard comment, they’d be badly disappointed. Still, September after September, my father hung his sign outside the Sunday school room: Mr. Ernst—Eleven-Year-Old Boys.
40. In order to get Dad to agree to the author’s outing, the author had to make up the following EXCEPT _____.
A. the friends I shall meet in the activity
B. the activity is a chance for anyone
C. the place where the activity is to be held
D. the time that I shall spend in the activity
41. When the author says “My father’s phone messages were also lessons in patience and long-suffering to a teenage girl.”, it means that when she was young _____.
A. her father once gave her a lesson about patience and long-lasting pain
B. her father’s brief phone messages angered her a lot but made her patient
C. she was trained to be patient and brave because of her father’s brief phone messages
D. she suffered and had to be patient because of her father’s brief phone messages
42. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “break the ice” in Paragraph 3?
A. Make the ice crack. B. Stop talking.
C. Start a talk. D. Interrupt a talk.
43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. My father would answer me with “Yes, but be home by dinner” sometimes.
B. I came into contact with just a few great teenage guys because I was active in high school.
C. That my father would teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Weekday school class surprised me.
D. I always wanted to know how my father, who talked so little, taught the boys.

Hey there,
So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your patent’s money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?
Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun—after you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 years or so. And remember that college graduates earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.
Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.
* Researching Schools. To us, the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best—not the one that is the most competitive or has the best-equipped rooms.
* Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com, you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications(申请) and links to many more.
* Raising Your Scores. American College Test is one of the most difficult parts of the admissions(录取) course. It’s not the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you think you can do better, find the right course for better scores.
* Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.

(2012·广州高二检测)
Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. But sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat (拍) yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!
48. You need to build a positive self-image when you _____.
A. dare to challenge yourself
B. feel it hard to change yourself
C. are unconfident about yourself
D. have a high opinion of yourself
49. How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?
A. To keep a different image of others.
B. To make your life successful.
C. To understand your own world.
D. To change the way you think.
50. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to prepare for your success.
B. How to face challenges in your life.
C. How to build a positive self-image.
D. How to develop your good qualities.
Ⅳ.任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
While being laid off and entering into retirement are far from the same, they both often leave one half of a couple with extra time on their hands, and plenty of pent-up(被压制的) energy that their significant other, coming home after a long day at work, can’t handle.
WSJ.com recently wrote an article that shared a few words of wisdom on how to deal with this situation. Here are a few of their tips:
1. Be nice to each other and have a positive attitude.
As hard as it may be, try to not be discouraged during the job search and make sure to support your spouse(配偶). If one of you says something negative, the other should try to come back with a positive. And don’t forget, compliments can go a long way.
2. Encourage your partner to take up a hobby, get a side job or join a club.
Typically, people work an average of forty hours a week, eight to nine hours a day. So is it any wonder that someone suddenly unemployed might go crazy with all that free time?
In order to squash the boredom before it begins, encourage your partner to stay as busy as possible. Stay healthy and join a sports team, or learn how to cook (this benefits your spouse as well).
Another option is taking up a side job serving food or working as a sales associate. This will allow your sweetie to interact with other people as well as earn some money. But, of course, new hobbies shouldn’t take up the time needed to continue the job hunt.
3. Encourage them to continue their existing friendships and to foster(培养) new ones.
As WSJ.com points out, those who recently lost their jobs are sometimes embarrassed and therefore shut out family and friends. They might cling(依靠) to their partners for support. Tell your wife or husband to talk to her/his families and friends. They know and love them, and can be a good support system (rather than a support group of one: you).
4. Give each other a little space before and after “couple time.”
You may be happy to spend time with your significant other but need a little alone time after working all day. To the recently laid off: let your partner settle down, drink a beer, and watch a little television before you bombard(发出连珠炮似的问题) him with your idea to go skydiving or white water rafting. You may have an endless amount of pent up energy, but they probably need some space to relax.
5. Trust each other.
When everything is going great, it’s easy to be happy and to trust your partner is doing everything he should. It’s not nearly as simple when half of your income is gone. Stand by each other as a couple and trust that each of you is doing everything necessary to get another job.

要求：1.不仅要表述出图中的内容，还要就此现象发表自己的感想。
2.词数：120~150。
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案与解析
Ⅰ.1. B 本题考查情景交际。句意：“噢，迪克，很抱歉我要走了。”“保持联系。我希望不久就收到你的来信。”A项意为“玩得高兴”；B项意为“保持联系”；C项意为“不要难过”；D项意为“我也是这样”。由句意可知选B项。
2. A 本题考查形容词辨析。句意：她在电影中扮演的那个妇女是20世纪30年代妇女的典型代表。typical of………的典型代表；conventional惯例的；impressive印象深刻的；consistent一致的。
3. C 句意：据说如果有规律地进行适量的运动，对健康有益。carry out是及物动词短语，与proper amounts of exercises之间是动宾关系，if条件句里省略了主语proper amounts of exercises，因此用过去分词表示被动。
4. D 本题考查倒装句。句意：看，有一群学生在那里拉小提琴，他们的老师站在前面当指挥。表方位的介词短语置于句首时，应用全部倒装，其谓语动词应与后面的主语一致。逗号后应是定语从句，应用关系代词whom。
5. B 本题考查非谓语动词。句意：我很遗憾地告诉你们所有在场的人，这个部门将只提供一份工作。regret to do sth.表示动作发生在regret之后。
6. D 本题考查时态及固定短语。句意：我不得不另选条路回家，因为通向我那个社区的路现在修建中。根据时间状语at the moment可知，应用现在进行时；根据句意可知，应用表被动含义的表达，即用is being constructed/under construction。
7. C 本题考查时态。句意：如果价格一直在增长，就会采取措施提高员工的薪水。if the prices are rising all the time是条件状语从句，表示现在的情况，因此主句要用将来时态。
8. B 本题考查动名词作宾语。句意：只要不是太晚，我不介意你延期做出决定。mind和delay后接动词时，要用动词的-ing形式。
9. D 本题考查强调句。句意：“你开始羽毛球训练有多长时间了？”“直到去年12月份我的经济有所好转时我才开始训练。”答语是强调句，应用that引导。
10. B 本题考查连词的用法。句意：虽然因特网很有用处，但我认为在网上花太多的时间不是个好主意。if引导条件状语从句；because引导原因状语从句；while和as都可作“虽然，尽管”将，都可以引导让步状语从句，但as引导让步状语从句时要部分倒装，while引导的让步状语从句用正常语序，且常放在主句的前面。
11. D 本题考查with复合结构。经理一直忧心忡忡，是由于有很多困难要解决，因此用不定式表示要解决；又因句中解决困难的人是经理，因此要用主动形式。
12. B 本题考查形容词辨析。句意：公共场所正逐渐变得使残障人士更方便进入。easy容易的；accessible易接近的，可进入的；hard困难的，辛苦的；suitable合适的，适当的。
13. B 本题考查动词短语。答句句意：多年的努力一定会让你在未来的事业中取得成功。pay off取得好结果，取得成功；还请；偿还掉；make sure确保，确信；bring back带回来；pay back偿还。
14. C 本题考查副词辨析。句意：等咖啡的队伍太长了。等了10分钟之后，我们最终放弃了。absolutely绝对地；actually实际上；eventually最终，终于；occasionally偶尔地。

Ⅱ.16. B call on sb.拜访某人。这里指一群毕业生去拜访当年的老教授。
17. A shortly after“……之后不久”。句意：他们到后不久，就开始抱怨……
18. D 根据下文中的 27 of your problems and stress可知，此处应该是抱怨工作和生活中的压力。
19. A 此处意为“为了招待他们咖啡”。offer sb. sth.“给某人提供某物”，在意思上等同于provide/supply sb. with sth.。
20. C with“带着；伴随；有”。句意：教授拿着咖啡和杯子从厨房回来。
21. C them在这里指代的是咖啡杯子。
22. B 文中只涉及了教授和学生们。因此是教授让学生们自己倒咖啡喝。
23. A 根据上下文可知不是只有两个学生；按常理应该是所有的学生都倒好了咖啡。
24. D 根据下文的 25 behind the plain and cheap ones可知，学生挑选的是一些好看的、昂贵的杯子，留下的是普通的、便宜的。
25. A leave behind“把……留/剩下来”，是固定短语。
26. C while此处意为“尽管；虽然”。句意：虽然你们想要最好的杯子很正常，然而这却成了你们所有问题和压力的来源。[来源:学科网]
27. A 根据语境可知，你所选择的虽是最好的，但却成了你麻烦和压力的源头(source)。
28. B what引导主语从句，表示“你们想要的东西”。
29. D 由句意“你们想要的是咖啡不是杯子，可是你们却下意识地去拿最好的杯子”可知，前后是转折关系。
30. A 根据上下文可知，他们虽然拿了杯子，但是还是看着别人手里的杯子，而不是咖啡或其他。
31. B 根据下文的 32 tools to hold and contain life…可知，作者把生活比作咖啡。
32. C 工作、金钱、社会地位只是盛生活的工具。just“只是；仅仅”。
33. B 工作、金钱、社会地位改变不了生活的性质。
34. D 根据上下文可知，只注意杯子，就享受不了杯子里的咖啡了。
35. A 承接上文的…by concentrating only on the cup, we 34 to enjoy the coffee God has provided.，享受你的咖啡，而不是杯子。
Ⅲ.36. D 推理判断题。从第一段可知，Gretchen Baxter认为人们非常迷恋这些电子设备，以至于不知道该在哪儿停下来。也就是说，人们太依赖新科技而不能放手。
37. B 词义猜测题。前一句说的是新科技的优点，本句说的是缺点，所以downside意为“缺点”。
38. C 细节理解题。从第三段第二句From texting at dinner to posting on Facebook from work or checking e-mails while on a date, the connectivity revolution is creating a lot of divided attention, not to mention social anxiety.可知，移动设备引起了注意力分散和社会焦虑。
39. A 推理判断题。从最后一段可知，人类的意图是与人真正地交流，可是科技对我们的干扰太多了，一时难以停下来，所以要想重新恢复人们之间真正意义上的交流，还需作出努力。

41. D 作者意图题。根据第二段可得出答案。
42. C 词义猜测题。从上文He did so for not one, but many years. I always wondered if he actually said anything, or if they all just sat in their chairs and stared at each other. 以及本句中的with brilliant conversation or a springboard comment可知。
43. D 细节理解题。通读全文可知答案。选项A中的sometimes有误；选项B中的just a few great teenage guys与原文部分；选项C中的Weekday school class与原文不符。

46. D 细节理解题。根据文章Paying for school.中的第二句和第三句可知答案。
47. A 细节理解题。根据文中第三段Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.可知答案。
48. C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.可知答案。

Ⅴ.One possible version:
On Monday morning, on his way to school, Dongdong found a little girl lying on the ground, crying. He was on the point of helping the girl when his mother stopped him and said, “Don’t do that or others will think it was you who knocked her down.” The next day, the mother was astonished to see Dongdong just ignored the fallen oil bottle on the ground. Dongdong said to his mother. “If I had got the bottle to stand, you would have thought I knocked it down.”
I totally disagree with the way Dongdong’s mother brings him up. Personally, parents should help their children become considerate and helpful, though helping others may sometimes bring them trouble. After all, helping others is an essential aspect of building up a harmonious society. We all need some help, right?
