Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
Several years ago，I needed a receptionist for my unit.Before I advertised for the position，I was approached by another manager Mr Jacobs，within the same division，and asked if I would consider a transfer(调任)from his staff.
It appeared from his description of this employee that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties，and had difficulties on a personal basis with her supervisor(主管)，and did not appear to respond to any attempts he，the manager，had made to settle the issues.
After listening to his explanation，I really had severe doubts.What crossed my mind was that he wanted me to take a performance problem off his hands.I told him I would think about it and would let him know the next day.After thinking more about this potential performance issue，I decided that I would speak with the employee privately before I made any decision.
And what I found out during the interview made me think about it seriously.It turned out after speaking with her for over an hour that the performance issue appeared to result from working for a supervisor who never returned a good morning greeting，never gave a word of encouragement，and enjoyed finding fault.The end result was a totally upset employee who hated to see a new workday start，and who had considered quitting every day before she went to work.
The look on her face，the trembling hands，and the annoyed manner in which she spoke led me to believe she was being truthful.I decided to accept her transfer to my unit.What started out as a shy and frightened employee turned out to be one of the most productive and loyal employees I ever had the privilege of working with.I was more than happy to give her what she needed－praise for work well done，respect as a person，and encouragement to do well in anything she dealt with.

Most children usually talk in class when they are bored or frustrated because a concept is too difficult.Schools have to recognize the need for children to talk.
The educators in my school district recognize the need for children to talk.Our curricula embrace(contain)“active”participation.This means that during a lesson the students are expected to talk and interact in order to have the learning become a part of them.The children are expected to talk about what they are reading in their anthologies(选集)，to answer questions together.
There are certain times when children need to meditate and digest what they've learned without talking.At these times，the children begin to think about social activities.
Children don't have much opportunity to write，and many educators believe that children don't have the ability to express themselves when writing.The students in my class are allowed to converse but only in writing.If they are having a problem with a classmate，they write the problem out and give it to me.We then set up a conference and talk about the problem.We figure out ways that the problem can be solved.The writing is twofold(双重的)．It helps the child calm down and not be reactive and teaches children the way to use words to express themselves.
Talking is important，but just as important is knowing the appropriate times to talk.We do encourage our children to talk when they are small and they are used to expressing themselves.
My theory，as I tell my students，is that he or she who talks the most，will probably grow up to be a teacher.They，then，will be able to talk all the time and NOT get in trouble.

B．students who talk the most will become teachers

D．encouraging students to express themselves by talking at every time is beneficial

Tony Burke，Australia's environment minister，says he won't decide until next year whether the koala should be protected as an endangered species.He was expected to make his decision by the end of October.But that decision has been put off.Burke said he needed more time to go over the latest information about the koala's population.
In September，an Australian Senate committee reported that there was no question the koala's population is on the decrease.“But they may not yet be eligible(符合条件的)for listing as a threatened species，”said Senator Doug Cameron.“To have such a significant Australian icon(偶像)included on the threatened species list would be a national shame.”
The koala is found only in the eucalyptus(桉树)forests of Australia.And its population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons，including the cutting down of forests to make way for human beings' development，their own illness，climate change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs.And every year many koalas are hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busy roads.
Putting off the decision on protection for the koala “is really bad news，”said Debbie Pointing，the president of the Koala Action Group.“We've worked tirelessly for many years to gather data on the populations，”Pointing said.“That data should be enough to make a decision.”
However，Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least $6.3 million on koala conservation efforts since 1996.Senators listed efforts that are already underway in Queensland－the construction of special koala bridges as well as fences along roads，to keep the animals out of harm's way.
Some people say that is not enough.“What we're doing at the moment is likely to drive this species to extinction，”Queensland University zoologist Bill Ellis said.
“Koalas are an iconic Australian animal，”Burke told Australians.“They hold a special place in the hearts of Australians.”
But it is a fact that if more isn't done to protect the koala，they might soon hold a place only in Australians' memories.
51．Tony Burke put off announcing the koala as an endangered species because ________.
A．he needed more time to examine the latest information
B．he doubted whether koalas' number is decreasing
C．he was thinking about ways to protect koalas
D．he had more important issues to deal with
52．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The habitat of the koala.
B．Australia's traffic problems.
C．The importance of koalas for Australians.
D．Reasons for the decrease of the koala population.
53．According to the text，Debbie Pointing thinks that ________.
A．the construction of special koala bridges is of little use
B．koalas are becoming less important in Australians'
hearts
C．the government is to blame for the decreasing koala population
D．the government should announce the koala as an endangered species
54．It can be learned from the text that Tony Burke
________.
A．thought the government has done much for koalas
B．called on Australians to take care of the koala
C．decided to construct more fences along roads
D．was optimistic about the koala's future
55．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Australia puts off the decision on whether the koala is endangered.
B．Australia is taking special measures to protect koalas.
C．The population of koalas is reducing rapidly.
D．Australians are concerned about koalas.
Ⅳ.阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)
[1]Ever wish you could be as muscular as a superhero or your favorite professional athlete？Well，the big muscles you're thinking about aren't possible for kids.Superheroes，of course，aren't real，and professional athletes are grown-ups，whose bodies are different from kids' bodies in many ways.
[2]Boys，especially，might wish for bigger muscles，but their bodies can't build that kind of adult muscle until they're older.On the bright side，both boys and girls can do a lot to build strong，healthy muscles.Let's find out how.
[3]Playing makes muscles.It sounds too simple，but it's true.Playing，running，jumping，and riding your bike ________.Any physical activity you like to do—from dancing to playing football—can make you stronger.Why？Because you're using your muscles when you do it.
[4]Eat good food.What should you eat if you want strong muscles？You might think you need a lot of foods that contain protein(such as meat and eggs)or foods that contain iron.But no magical food helps build muscles.Your muscles—and your entire body—will be strong and healthy if you eat a variety of nutritious foods.
[5]Should you pump iron？Some kids want to lift weights so they can look bigger and stronger.But lifting weights won't produce big muscles in kids who haven't gone through puberty(青春期)yet，and lifting heavy weights can be dangerous for kids' muscles and tendons(肌腱)．With supervision from a coach or trainer，kids can do some light weight-lifting or exercise with large rubber bands.This kind of exercise can improve muscle tone，meaning a kid's muscles will be leaner and stronger，but not really bigger.
[6]Push-ups，sit-ups，and chin-ups also help build strong muscles.But so can plain old running，jumping，and climbing.Get the message？More playtime means stronger muscles.Now that's something to get pumped up about!
56．What is the main idea of the text？(no more than 8 words)
_________________________________________________________________
57．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words.(no more than 6 words)
_________________________________________________________________

59．Why shouldn't kids lift weights at the young age？(no more than 20 words)

【语篇解读】 一项研究表明，老板对员工的表扬能提高员工工作的积极性，并有利于稳定人心。然而，老板们对表扬员工似乎比较吝啬，有些员工说，即使他们工作表现出色，也没得到过老板的赞赏。
16．D 从语境和选项看，这里用frequently表示“经常”。
17．A 这里用a pay rise表示“涨工资，加薪”。句意：对员工来说，经常听到“谢谢”或“做得好”等话与适度加薪具有同样意义。
18．C 从句子结构看，这里用了make＋宾语＋形容词宾补；从含义看，这里表示“赞扬和鼓励也更能使员工积极工作，有利于稳定人心。”
19．B 语境说经常表扬员工，他们在自己的工作岗位上干的时间就更长，这样一来就节约了因为“替换”员工而带来的成本。从句意的连贯判断选B表示“替代者，接替者”。
20．A 从语境可知，本文谈论的是一次调查的结果，因此选A。在被调查的一千名员工中，三分之一的人说，即使他们工作表现出色，也没得到过老板的一句感谢。

22．B 此处表示“在前面提到的那两种情形中”，用case表示“情形，事例”。A.调查，C.部分，D.要点。
23．C 从前面叙述的这两种情形看，他们都觉得自己即使工作表现出色，也没得到过或者没有得到足够的感谢，可见他们觉得自己没得到足够的重视，undervalue表示“低估”。
24．D 从搭配和句意判断用be devoted to表示“投入，致力于做某事”。这意味着他们的工作积极性很可能会降低，而且换工作的可能性增大。
25．A 表扬员工，这与1%的加薪具有同样的激励作用。B.优势，C.发展，D.感觉，都不如，A.激励，更符合语境。
26．C 从语境看，表扬员工所起到的作用就像给他们加薪一样，而这样的表扬不会让老板掏腰包，更便宜。此句呼应了本文的开头：politeness costs nothing。
27．B 回应本文的主题，这里说对员工来说，经常得到老板的认可(表扬)对于他们来说很重要。用acknowledgement表示“承认，感谢”。A.视察，C.承诺，D.轮廓，梗概。
28．A 语境表示转折含义：四分之三的员工称，经常得到老板的认可对他们来说很重要；而仅有四分之一的人认为自己得到了应有的认可。
29．D 这里用as与前面构成比较结构as much praise as，本空的as引导比较状语从句。他们觉得自己得到了需要的表扬。
30．C 而从事体力劳动的员工即使自己的工作做得很好，他们也很少得到老板的认可。用recognition表示“认可，认同”。
31．D 从语境看，这里表示苏格兰员工觉得自己的能力最被低估，与下文照应。
32．B 苏格兰员工说他们需要更多的表扬，而英国东北部地区的员工不太容易被老板的赞扬打动。用impress表示“使铭记，给某人留下印象”。
33．B 与前面的“英国东北部的员工不太容易被老板的赞扬打动”照应，在这里，只有69%的人觉得有必要经常得到老板的赞扬。
34．A 老板的赞美不仅仅是营造了一个愉快的工作环境。用create表示“创造”。
35．C 这里用副词even加强语气，表示“甚至”；这些表扬的话甚至还能为公司增加利润。
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。一位前任经理认为很糟糕的员工在作者手下竟然表现得非常出色，这是源于鼓励、赞美与尊重的神奇力量。
36．D 细节理解题。由第二段中经理对这位员工的描述以及第四段中这位员工对她的主管的抱怨可知，她跟主管的关系很紧张并且不可调和。
37．C 推理判断题。由第三段中的he wanted me to take a performance problem off his hands可知，作者意识到这个经理给自己推荐他完全不看好的员工很可能是因为想把这个烫手的山芋扔给自己。
38．C 推理判断题。由第四段中的a supervisor who never returned a good morning greeting，never gave a word of encouragement，and enjoyed finding fault可知，这个员工以前的主管是一个态度冷漠的人。
39．A 细节理解题。由最后一段中的．..give her what she needed-praise for work well done，respect as a person，and encouragement...可知，她出色的工作表现是因为她受到了作为领导的作者的尊重、鼓励和称赞，故A项正确。
40．D 标题归纳题。本文通过讲述一位员工在不同的领导手下天壤之别的表现说明领导的管理艺术对员工的影响。D项以一个问题作标题，既概括了文章内容，又升华了主题，引人深思。
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了著名的小提琴演奏家Isaac Stern的一些经历。
41．A 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段的最后两句话可知答案。
42．D 细节理解题。根据文章的上下文以及文章第一段的第二句话可知答案。
43．D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段的第一句话可知A项不正确；根据文章第一段第二句可知，他访问了很多的国家是为了国际之间文化的交流，而不是为了宣传自己的专辑，所以B项不正确；根据文章第三段的第二句可知C项不正确；根据上下文可知，他从16岁的时候就开始表演，81岁的时候去世，所以他的音乐人生经历了60多年，所以D项是正确的。
44．B 推理判断题。根据文章中他的音乐经历可以推知，他是他所在的年代里最活跃的音乐家之一。
45．C 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第二句(即主题句)以及全文所述可知C项最适合作标题。
46．B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Our curricula embrace(contain)‘active’participation.” 可以判断B项正确。
47．D 词义猜测题。根据后面的digest和“without talking”可判断D项正确。
48．A 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知写即为一种表达。
49．C 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句中的“...many educators believe that children don't have the ability to express themselves when writing.”可推知C项正确。
50．C 标题归纳题。第一段就突出了文章的中心“Schools have to recognize the need for children to talk.”，因此选C项。

51．A 推理判断题。由第一段最后一句可以得出答案，Burke需要更多的时间来核实相关的信息。

53．D 细节理解题。从第四段中Debbie Pointing所说的话Putting off the decision on protection for the koala“is really bad news”以及That data should be enough to make a decision可知，他认为政府应该宣布考拉为濒危动物。
54．A 推理判断题。由倒数第四段中Burke所提到的政府在保护考拉方面所作的努力可知A项正确。
55．A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要报道了澳大利亚环境部长伯克推迟宣布考拉属于濒危动物的决定这一事件以及社会各方对这一决定的反应，故选A项。

I'm_writing_to_ask_whether_you_could_recommend_a_tutor_for_me. As you know, I am very eager to improve my English listening and speaking skills. What is worrying me now is that although I have been doing well in English exams, I find I don't have a really good command of English and can't use it freely, especially when I am talking with a foreigner. That's why I need a tutor to help me practice my English. Is there anyone, a native speaker, at your training center who is available on weekends？It's preferable if we can meet on Saturday and Sunday, two hours each time. Thank you for the favor.
I look forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li_Hua

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about your family and be sure to show pictures of your children. You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting—and they can cover pretty much or any topic—as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.
In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship they're trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children. As a general rule, it's best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one's salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticise a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host's team.
1．The underlined word “harmonious” most probably means________.
A．competitive B．friendly and peaceful
C．original D．sensitive
2．People from Asia are more private in their conversation with others because________.
A．they don't want to have their good relationship with others harmed
B．they don't want to share their feelings with others
C．they don't want to talk much with others
D．they are afraid to argue with their others
3．The writer thinks politics and religion are ________for business.
A．cheerful topics B．taboos
C．rude topics D．wise topics
4．Which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the author?
A．Sports. B．Children.
C．Personal feelings. D．Families.
5．What should you do when talking about sports with your partner from another country?
A．Praise your own country's sports.
B．Criticize your own country's sports.
C．Praise the sports of your partner's country.
D．Criticize the sports of your partner's country.

3．C wonder在此用作名词，有“奇迹”之意。日子就这样平淡无奇地过着。

15．B 根据语境及前面提到的他是一个只有一条腿的残疾人可知答案。
16．D 后文讲到他仍然跑在人生的大道上，由此可见他并没有失去信心。lose heart“失去信心”，follow suit“跟着做”，lose face“丢脸”。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Small talk is a very short conversation used by individual to kill time and make the other person feel comfortable in his presence. However, sometimes you should be careful of your topics.
There are certain “safe” topics that people usually discuss.
The weather is probably the number one thing that people who do not know each other well discuss. Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conversation.
Another topic that is generally safe is current events. As long as you are not discussing a controversial_issue,_such as a recent law concerning equal rights, it is usually safe to discuss that. Entertainment and sports news is another good topic. If there is something that you and the other person have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. For example, if the bus is extremely full and there are no seats available, you might talk about the reasons why. Similarly, people in an office might casually discuss the new paint or furniture.
There are also some subjects that are not considered acceptable when making small talk.
Discussing personal information such as salaries or a recent divorce is unacceptable between people who do not know each other well. Compliments on clothing or hair are acceptable; however, you should never say something (good or bad) about a person's body.
Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are also not acceptable. When you do not know a person well, you cannot be sure who their friends are. You do not talk about private issues either, because you do not know if you can trust the other person with your secrets or personal information. Lastly, it is not wise to continue talking about an issue that the other person does not seem comfortable with or interested in.
1．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．Why do people make small talk?
B．What topics do people choose when making small talk?
C．What is small talk?
D．In which situations do people make small talk?
2．Which of the following is NOT the best topic when you make small talk?
A．Beautiful day, isn't it?
B．Did you watch the news today?
C．Have you got a boyfriend?
D．What do you think of the new computers?
3．The underlined part “controversial issue” in the fourth paragraph most probably means________.
A．debatable question B．acceptable question
C．private question D．interesting question
4．Which of the following belongs to small talk that most probably takes place at a bus stop?
A．The buses are very slow these days, aren't they?
B．Excuse me, which bus should I take to get to the park?
C．It looks as if it will rain. I should have taken my umbrella.
D．Can you lend me some money for a ticket?

(2013·广东高考)One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale，and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family，” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others，and I'm very worried about him. Can you help？”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn't have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.
The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
“It's your turn，” he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times，about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch，and an ear that listens.
6．When he first met the author, David________.
A．felt a little excited
B．walked energetically
C．looked a little nervous
D．showed up with his teacher
7．As a psychologist, the author________.
A．was ready to listen to David
B．was skeptical about psychology
C．was able to describe David's problem
D．was sure of handling David's problem
8．David enjoyed being with the author because he________.
A．wanted to ask the author for advice
B．needed to share sorrow with the author
C．liked the children's drawings in the office
D．beat the author many times in the chess game
9．What can be inferred about David?
A．He recovered after months of treatment.
B．He liked biking before he lost his family.
C．He went into university soon after starting to talk.
D．He got friends in school before he met the author.
10．What made David change?
A．His teacher's help.
B．The author's friendship.
C．His exchange of letters with the author.
D．The author's silent communication with him.

2．A 句意：——你认为要过多久我才能返回工作岗位？——哦，下周末你就会感觉好很多的。“It will be＋一段时间＋before...”句型表示“要过……时间才……”，符合句意。
3．B 句意：他说他一到家就给你打电话。名词性短语the moment 在此处起连词的作用，用于引导时间状语从句，表示“一……就……”。

Ⅲ.1.B 主旨大意题。文章谈到人们进行闲聊时安全的和不被接受的话题。故选B。
2．C 细节理解题。根据文章第六段最后一句在不太熟悉的人们之间不要谈论有关私人问题的话题。故选C。
3．A 词义猜测题。从该词后面所给的例子：比如关于人权的法律方面的问题，可知其意为“有争议的问题”。故选A。
4．A 推理判断题。这四句话虽然都有可能发生在车站。但根据small talk的定义，B、C、D项不属于开始交流所进行的small talk。在车站最有可能进行的small talk是谈论公交服务，所以A项正确。
5．D 逻辑顺序题。第一段定义small talk，第二至四段讲闲谈时的保险话题，第五至七段讲一些闲谈时不能提及的话题。故选D。
【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文。戴维因为失去了家人而非常伤心，拒绝与别人交流，“我”作为一名心理医生成功地使他恢复了正常。“我”采取的方法就是跟他下棋，让他感受到“我”理解他的痛苦。人与人的交流不只是通过语言，也可能是一个拥抱、一个哭泣时可以依靠的肩膀、一次友好的接触或者一只耐心倾听的耳朵。
6．C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的He kept walking up and down restlessly，his face pale，and his hands shaking slightly.可知，第一次见面时，他表现得非常紧张。戴维失去了亲人，故不是“感到兴奋”或者“精力充沛地散步”，排除A项和B项。根据His head teacher had referred him to me.以及he wrote可知，他的老师把他介绍给作者，但没有陪着他来，故D项错误。
7．A 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.可知，作者准备去做一名倾听者。文章虽提到有些问题心理学也无法给出答案，但这并不能说明作者对心理学持怀疑的态度，故B项错误；根据第二段中的and which no words can describe可排除C项；通过第二段中的How could I help him？以及“有些问题心理学也无法给出答案”可知，作者并不确信自己能解决戴维的问题，故排除D项。
