阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
My husband, my four month old daughter and I set out on a five day driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.
One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back.
Holding my daughter, I turned around and said to the gentleman，“Sir. Are you hungry？”He said，“Yes.”I then asked，“May we buy you something to eat？”He responded with，“Sure, I can order something myself.”
My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter. I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I spoke before he had an opportunity to.“This gentleman will have lunch with us today，”I said.“Please add his order to our bill.”The manager said with a frown (皱眉)，“Okay.”We turned to our table and the gentleman said, loudly and quickly，“Thank You！”We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentleman had ordered. One fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns.
When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn't see him, but that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.

2．The manager of the restaurant looked frightened because ________.
A．the man was not friendly
B．the man had stolen something from the restaurant
C．he had fired the man before
D．he was afraid the man wouldn't afford to pay the food
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第四段“I spoke before he had an opportunity to.‘This gentleman will have lunch with us today，’I said.‘Please add his order to our bill.’”以及上文可知，这个人是乞丐并且饭店的人都认识他，店主看他进来害怕他吃饭不给钱，故选D。

According to researchers at Yale University's Infant Cognition Center, babies can actually tell good from evil (恶), even as young as three months old.
Puppets (木偶) are used to show good and bad behavior. In one case, a puppet is trying hard to open a box. Another puppet, the “good” puppet, helps it open the box, while another, the “bad” puppet, shuts the box on purpose.
More than 80% of the time that experiment is done, babies will choose the “good” puppet when presented with both puppets and given the chance to choose either one.
Humans are born with a sense of good and evil, according to Paul Bloom, Yale's Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor of Psychology.
“We are naturally moral (道德的) beings, but our environment can improve — or sadly, weaken — this inborn moral sense，” Bloom said.
So now I'm wondering if, during those months when I thought my babies had no idea of the world around them, I did anything I should not have done.
Lyz Lenz, mom of a nearly three year old daughter and seven month old son, wonders the same thing.
“After the birth of my daughter, I watched all of ‘Damages，’ a TV show where Glenn Close plays an evil lawyer，” she said.
Many women I talked with by e mail or on Facebook weren't really surprised to learn there's much more going on in the brains of our littlest ones.
Jessica McFadden, founder of the blog “A Parent in America” and mother of three, remembers when her daughter Alice was four months old.
“She would babble (talk quickly in a way that is hard to understand) worriedly in front of the large family photo hanging in our home，” said McFadden. The photo was taken before her daughter was born and included everyone in the family — except her.
“She truly seemed put_out that she was not in the picture! When the photo was replaced (替代) with a new one including her, she smiled, waved her hands and would happily look at it each time she passed it.” she said.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。耶鲁大学的科学家研究发现，三个月大的婴儿就能辨识善恶。
4．During the experiment, babies prefer the puppet that ________.
A．opens the box B．helps open the box
C．shuts the box D．presents the box
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“the ‘good’ puppet, helps it open the box”以及第三段中的“babies will choose the ‘good’ puppet”可知，实验中婴儿们主要选择的是那个“善良的”木偶，即帮着打开盒子的木偶。
5．What did McFadden probably think of Bloom's findings
A．They came as no surprise.
B．They needed to be proved.
C．They were of very little importance.
D．They would help babies learn to speak.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据倒数第四段中的“Many women ... weren't really surprised to learn ... ”以及最后三段以McFadden为例说明此观点可知，McFadden应该对Bloom的研究发现并不感到意外。
6．The underlined phrase “put out” in the last paragraph can be understood as “________”．
A．proud B．nervous
C．excited D．unhappy
解析：选D 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“She would ... worriedly in front of the large family photo”可知，McFadden的女儿虽小，但她不喜欢看到全家福里没有自己，故选D项。

Avi Wortis, known simply as Avi, writes historical novels. Historical novels mix historical facts with story telling skills. These stories take place in the past. The main characters are not always real; they exist only in stories.
Avi decided to become a writer when he was a student in senior high school. This was quite a decision because he did not write well in school. He had a problem called dysgraphia, a writing disability. The problem caused people to spell words wrongly. Avi always enjoyed reading. He read many types of books as a child. Avi believed that reading is the most important activity for a person who wants to be a writer.
Avi also believes that strong characters make strong stories. He creates characters that can help to bring his ideas to life. His books often deal with questions about life. Writing stories lets him explore many sides of a subject. His favorite part is to make improvements in his writing. For him the hardest part is writing the first draft (草稿)．
Avi's first book was published in 1970. He has since written more than 45 books. Most of them are for young adult readers. Besides historical novels, he writes comedies (喜剧), short stories about adventures, animals and so on. Fighting Ground, which was published in 1984, is an example of Avi's historical novels. This attractive story takes place during the American Revolutionary War.

Ⅳ.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

The first journey __37__ (lead) by Buzz, an American guide with a lot of rafting experience.The first half day was spent __38__ (develop) teamwork.The discipline of following commands __39__ question was necessary.In rapids, we __40__ (fight) against the river and overcame it.We took the raft exactly __41__ Buzz wanted it to go.At the end of the journey, we were all excited and happy __42__ we won.
The guide on the second journey was very softly spoken.It seemed that it would be __43__ (possible) to hear his voice above the noise of the rapids.He didn't try to take command of us or the river.At the end of the journey, the river became our friend, but not our enemy.The quiet guide was not our leader, but only the person whose sensitivity was more developed than __44__ (we)．
__45__ (give) the opportunity to choose a leader, everyone would have chosen someone like Buzz.However, at the end of the second journey, we had a different vision.
语篇解读：：本文主要介绍了作者去年的两次新西兰Motu河之旅。
36．twice 考查副词。根据语境可知，此处表示两次的含义，故用副词twice在句子中作状语，与下文“on the second journey”呼应。
37．was led 考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境及介词by可知，此处表示被动的概念，又根据上文“last year”可知，应用一般过去时，故用一般过去时的被动语态。
38．developing 考查固定用法。spend time doing sth.意为“花费时间做某事”，为固定用法，故此处填developing。
39．without/beyond 考查介词。without/beyond question“毫无疑问”，为固定用法。
40．fought 考查动词时态。根据其后的“overcame”可知，此处是在陈述过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。
41．where 考查连词。where引导状语从句，在从句中作地点状语。
42．because/since 考查连词。根据语境可知，前后句表示逻辑上的因果关系，前果后因，故用连词because/since。
43．impossible 考查词形转换。根据上文“The guide on the second journey was very softly spoken”可推知，此处表示导游说话温和，在急流的噪音下不可能听到他的声音。故填impossible。
44．ours 考查代词。空处与“whose sensitivity”呼应，故此处用名词性物主代词作宾语。
45．Given 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，give和句子主语everyone之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词。

Ⅵ.读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
There was once a small community of people who lived in a remote valley surrounded by huge mountains. Although the mountains protected the township from the severe weather common to the area, they also prevented the residents from accessing fertile fields located nearby.
One day, a large earthquake hit the area, and it was discovered that a path had opened up leading to those rich_fields. Everyone rushed to the area, hoping to claim the new land as their own.
Sensing a great opportunity for himself in the growing confusion as to ownership of these new lands, the city mayor,_a wealthy and cunning man, had a plan. Through clever persuasion he convinced the town council that since these valleys now represented the most fertile land in the area, it only made sense that the_richest_family should own them. After all, the mayor reasoned, surely the wisest among them would know the best way to divide up the new wealth.
The town council agreed to the mayor's proposal. The mayor knew quite well his own secret superior financial position, but he also knew that the residents would never take him just on his word. So he had a huge set of scales constructed in the town center, and then sent invitations to those people who wished to compete for the land. They were instructed to bring all their riches and valuable possessions to the town center the next morning for a friendly competition to determine who was the wealthiest.
As the next day dawned, thirty families lined up at the scales, eagerly taking the start of the competition. Their carts filled with gold and silver coins, precious gems, and various other treasures. One by one, the townspeople poured their belongings on to one side of the giant scales. And one by one, weighing in against the mayor's riches, they saw their fortunes fail to change_the_scales in their favor.
As the competition was about to close, with his confidence and conceit reaching their peak, the mayor's glance happened to fall upon the “town fool” standing nearby.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1：
This man was a calm fellow, relatively short, and well liked by the people who took the time to know him.
Paragraph 2：
“Well then, you get on the scale，”
参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
This man was a calm fellow, relatively short, and well liked by the people who took the time to know him.With an evil grin the mayor called out, “Hey, Joseph, don't you want to be in the competition？” “Uh ...no，” replied Joseph quietly.“Oh come on, Joseph, come on.Bring your things up — come on, what have you got？” “Nothing, really，” replied Joseph.
Paragraph 2：
“Well then, you get on the scale，” the mayor laughed.“Come on, you get up there and we'll see how far you change_the_scales！” And with this the crowd began to call upon Joseph to accept the challenge.So Joseph walked over and stepped on to the scales.The people gasped at what happened next.Joseph outweighed the mayor's riches! The townspeople looked on in complete disbelief, stunned into silence by what they saw.And Joseph's close friend said, “The real wealth of a man is his character.”

Jessica McFadden, founder of the blog “A Parent in America” and mother of three, remembers when her daughter Alice was four months old.
“She would babble (talk quickly in a way that is hard to understand) worriedly in front of the large family photo hanging in our home，” said McFadden. The photo was taken before her daughter was born and included everyone in the family — except her.
“She truly seemed put_out that she was not in the picture! When the photo was replaced (替代) with a new one including her, she smiled, waved her hands and would happily look at it each time she passed it.” she said.

Avi Wortis, known simply as Avi, writes historical novels. Historical novels mix historical facts with story telling skills. These stories take place in the past. The main characters are not always real; they exist only in stories.
Avi decided to become a writer when he was a student in senior high school. This was quite a decision because he did not write well in school. He had a problem called dysgraphia, a writing disability. The problem caused people to spell words wrongly. Avi always enjoyed reading. He read many types of books as a child. Avi believed that reading is the most important activity for a person who wants to be a writer.
Avi also believes that strong characters make strong stories. He creates characters that can help to bring his ideas to life. His books often deal with questions about life. Writing stories lets him explore many sides of a subject. His favorite part is to make improvements in his writing. For him the hardest part is writing the first draft (草稿)．
Avi's first book was published in 1970. He has since written more than 45 books. Most of them are for young adult readers. Besides historical novels, he writes comedies (喜剧), short stories about adventures, animals and so on. Fighting Ground, which was published in 1984, is an example of Avi's historical novels. This attractive story takes place during the American Revolutionary War.

Ⅳ.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

__45__ (give) the opportunity to choose a leader, everyone would have chosen someone like Buzz.However, at the end of the second journey, we had a different vision.
语篇解读：：本文主要介绍了作者去年的两次新西兰Motu河之旅。
36．twice 考查副词。根据语境可知，此处表示两次的含义，故用副词twice在句子中作状语，与下文“on the second journey”呼应。
37．was led 考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境及介词by可知，此处表示被动的概念，又根据上文“last year”可知，应用一般过去时，故用一般过去时的被动语态。
38．developing 考查固定用法。spend time doing sth.意为“花费时间做某事”，为固定用法，故此处填developing。
39．without/beyond 考查介词。without/beyond question“毫无疑问”，为固定用法。
40．fought 考查动词时态。根据其后的“overcame”可知，此处是在陈述过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。
41．where 考查连词。where引导状语从句，在从句中作地点状语。
42．because/since 考查连词。根据语境可知，前后句表示逻辑上的因果关系，前果后因，故用连词because/since。
43．impossible 考查词形转换。根据上文“The guide on the second journey was very softly spoken”可推知，此处表示导游说话温和，在急流的噪音下不可能听到他的声音。故填impossible。
44．ours 考查代词。空处与“whose sensitivity”呼应，故此处用名词性物主代词作宾语。
45．Given 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，give和句子主语everyone之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词。

Ⅵ.读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
There was once a small community of people who lived in a remote valley surrounded by huge mountains. Although the mountains protected the township from the severe weather common to the area, they also prevented the residents from accessing fertile fields located nearby.
One day, a large earthquake hit the area, and it was discovered that a path had opened up leading to those rich_fields. Everyone rushed to the area, hoping to claim the new land as their own.
Sensing a great opportunity for himself in the growing confusion as to ownership of these new lands, the city mayor,_a wealthy and cunning man, had a plan. Through clever persuasion he convinced the town council that since these valleys now represented the most fertile land in the area, it only made sense that the_richest_family should own them. After all, the mayor reasoned, surely the wisest among them would know the best way to divide up the new wealth.
The town council agreed to the mayor's proposal. The mayor knew quite well his own secret superior financial position, but he also knew that the residents would never take him just on his word. So he had a huge set of scales constructed in the town center, and then sent invitations to those people who wished to compete for the land. They were instructed to bring all their riches and valuable possessions to the town center the next morning for a friendly competition to determine who was the wealthiest.
As the next day dawned, thirty families lined up at the scales, eagerly taking the start of the competition. Their carts filled with gold and silver coins, precious gems, and various other treasures. One by one, the townspeople poured their belongings on to one side of the giant scales. And one by one, weighing in against the mayor's riches, they saw their fortunes fail to change_the_scales in their favor.
As the competition was about to close, with his confidence and conceit reaching their peak, the mayor's glance happened to fall upon the “town fool” standing nearby.

Paragraph 1：
This man was a calm fellow, relatively short, and well liked by the people who took the time to know him.With an evil grin the mayor called out, “Hey, Joseph, don't you want to be in the competition？” “Uh ...no，” replied Joseph quietly.“Oh come on, Joseph, come on.Bring your things up — come on, what have you got？” “Nothing, really，” replied Joseph.
Paragraph 2：
“Well then, you get on the scale，” the mayor laughed.“Come on, you get up there and we'll see how far you change_the_scales！” And with this the crowd began to call upon Joseph to accept the challenge.So Joseph walked over and stepped on to the scales.The people gasped at what happened next.Joseph outweighed the mayor's riches! The townspeople looked on in complete disbelief, stunned into silence by what they saw.And Joseph's close friend said, “The real wealth of a man is his character.”
