Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
There's a body of water in Israel that is actually below sea level.Water often runs into it，but，because of the law of gravity (重力)，nothing can flow out of it.Do you know the name of this famous lake? It's called the Dead Sea.It's called this because no living thing could live there.The water is almost dead，compared to what happens with “living water”．
When you think of the words “living water”，in your mind is a rushing river that is flowing.It's filled with life and movement.It doesn't just “receive”，but is also “giving” simultaneously．
Many of us believe that we need to receive more of something in order to be happy.Whether what we strongly want is money or something else，we think we need more of it in order to be fulfilled.
As a result，we begin to operate in fear and therefore don't give anything because we're afraid that we won't have enough.The result? Like the Dead Sea，we become lifeless.Life is meant to flow. When a pool stops flowing，it becomes stagnant (停滞的)．Stagnant water develops disease and death.It can't breathe.It can't receive any more.If nothing is flowing out，there's no room for anything else to come in.
The way out? Give.If so，you'll receive.It's an universal law.You see it everywhere.We've somehow been deceived (欺骗) into believing that if we don't give，we'll have more. Or we're afraid that if we do give，we won't have anything left.On one hand，this seems to make sense.But it doesn't work.Because when we don't give，we shut off the flow of what's coming in.
36．What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A．The development of the Dead Sea.
B．The special parts of the Dead Sea.
C．The position of the Dead Sea.
D．The present situation of the Dead Sea.
37．The underlined word“simultaneously”in Paragraph 2 means________．
A．at the same time
B．all the way
C．in the end
D．at once
38．According to the passage，we don't give anything because________．
A．we are really poor in fact
B．we don't know how to give
C．we don't know who want
D．we are still not satisfied ourselves
B
(2013·辽宁高考)China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them，all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，I've found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However，people still use their bicycles to get around.For many，it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors－silver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want.
It's fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks (人行道)．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的)．To be safe，I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
39．According to the author，why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A．Because they are traditional and safe.
B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C．Because they are colorful and available.
D．Because they are fast and environment friendly.
40．The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ________．
A．to ride it for fun
B．to use it for transport
C．to experience local culture
D．to improve his riding skills
41．How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A．It was boring. B．It was difficult.
C．It was lively. D．It was wonderful.
42．Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?
A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C．The author was praised by the other bikers.
D．The author took great pleasure in biking.

When we talk about learning a foreign language，we often talk about different methods—if you should go to school or not and how much time is ideal to spend on the target language each day.Of course，those are interesting questions to ask，but I think they're not as important as one thing—motivation.
Woody Allen once said，“80% of success in life is showing up.”When you're not motivated，you won't show up to learn your target language. Unfortunately，it's not possible to learn a language through osmosis(耳濡目染)；you need to work，and you need to show up.It's possible to learn many things in a short amount of time，but to truly learn a language to fluency you need years of input，study and practice.
Ask yourself：Why do I want to learn this language? Can I actually use it? Are there enough materials to learn it from? If your answers to those questions are yes，you're probably motivated enough to go on and learn the language you want to learn.
Still，take your time to decide which language you want to learn.Make a plan to learn it；don't just rush in with a dream of “speaking it one day”．If you don't set your goals，you'll just fail.In any field of study you need to have a goal；otherwise you'll just give up and look for something else to do.
Methods，schools and the amount of time you put in all matter，but it's the motivation that can make or break your study.When all else fails，you need at least your motivation to get you through and continue learning.
Are you currently learning a language？If so，I'll give you some “homework”．Think about why you're learning the language.What are your long-term goals regarding your target language? Are you having fun learning it，or do you just see it as a daily chore? Sometimes it's not a shame to quit studying a language.If you are not enjoying it and have no real motivation for learning it，you'd better invest your time in another language.
43．According to the author，to learn a language________．
A．you must find a suitable learning method
B．you should be good at asking questions
C．you need to set a goal for yourself
D．you have to choose a good school
44．The author gives us some “homework” in the last paragraph to________．
A．aid us in choosing another language to learn
B．examine how well we are learning a foreign language
C．encourage us not to give up a language quickly
D．help judge if we should continue to learn a language
45．The author develops his argument by ________．
A．presenting questions and suggestions
B．providing examples and facts
C．analyzing causes and effects
D．offering the data and time
46．According to the text，if you don't really like the language，you________．
A．shouldn't give it up until you find your motivation
B．can try learning another language instead
C．should turn to your friends or teachers for help
D．can change your methods and spend more time on it
D
Ask people “What is country music？”and you are likely to get a wide variety of answers.With so many different theories about how the music has developed and who the best musicians are，everyone has their own definitions of the sound and style of country music.
Country music includes a range of musical styles from“hill-billy”and “honky-tonk”to traditional Irish folk music and modern pop. Even rock hands like the Rolling Stones have recorded songs which could be classified as country.
Although the traditions of country music can be traced back over centuries，the term “country”is a relatively modern invention.In 1944，the American magazine，Billboard，started listing the “most played folk records” on juke-boxes (自动点唱机) in America.By late 1940s，“folk” was replaced by “country and western”．The “western” part of the title was dropped in 1962 when the Billboard chart was renamed “Hot Country Singles”．In Britain the music is still referred to as “country and western”．But_if_you_were_to_use_this_term_in_Nashville，USA，the_home_of_country_music，people_would_wonder_where_you_had_been_all_these_years.
Country music owes a lot to the folk songs which were brought across the Atlantic by British emigrants and passed down the generations.These songs told stories about love，family life and tragedy.Country songs tell colorful stories about the trials of real life，tragic tales of heartbreak，marital problems，poverty，and even death.
Country stars like Patsy Cline，Tammy Wynette，Johnny Cash and Dolly Partton have close relationships with their audiences and they have taken country music to new fans all over the world.
47．According to the passage，when did the term “country music” probably appear?
A．In the 1940s.
B．In 1962.
C．Centuries ago.
D．In 1940.
48．The following are classified as country music EXCEPT________．
A．modern pop
B．traditional Irish folk music
C．modern Jazz
D．Patsy Cline's songs
49．What does the underlined sentence mean?
A．People in Nashville have dropped the “western”part for many years.
B．The term “country and western”is still popular now in Nashville.
C．Nashville is no longer the home of country music.
D．People in Nashville don't know about the term “country and western”at all.
50．From the passage，we can infer that ________．
A．folk music has a longer history than country music
B．rock hands cannot record country music
C．country music has nothing to do with real life
D．country music refers to the folk songs

综合检测(二)
1．D folk music“民间音乐”，前不加定冠词；在表西方乐器的名词前要加定冠词the。
2．C 句意：我们对天气感兴趣，因为天气对我们穿衣、做事，甚至心情有直接的影响。benefit对……有利；affect影响；guide指导；effect 作名词才是“影响”的意思，常用have an effect on结构，其意思相当于affect。
3．D be impressed on one's mind/memory 表示“给某人留下印象”，是固定搭配。
4．A 句意：玛丽过去起床很晚，但是现在已经习惯起这么早了。used to do sth.过去常常做某事；be used to 习惯于，to为介词，其后跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语。

7．B 句意：我不习惯你对我说话的方式。换句话说，我不想继续和你谈下去了。in a word“简而言之”；in other words“换句话说”；in word“在口头上”；in words“用语言来表达”。
8．A 句意：时间一去不复返，因此请珍惜时间。treasure“珍惜”，符合句意。

10．B 考查时间状语从句引导词。句意：——你的老板第二天又给你打电话了吗？——没有，过了两周他才给我打的电话。It is/was...before过了多久才……，为固定句型。此题易误选A项，以为是强调句型。其实本题考查的是before的固定句型。

12．D 句意：他已下定决心戒烟。quit doing sth.停止做某事，符合题意。

16．B 那些作品让他付出了大量的辛勤劳动。spend“花费”主语应该指人；cost“花费(某人)多少钱；使(某人)付出(辛勤劳动或代价)”；save“节省；挽救”；take“花费(某人)多少时间去做某事”。

22．A 根据句子前半句的意思和转折连词but可知情况再糟糕，所以选worse。
23．D 既然耳朵有问题，当然是去看医生。
24．B 根据上下文可知，贝多芬逐渐失聪。suddenly“突然地”；gradually“逐渐地”；immediately“立即；马上”；unluckily“不幸地”。

29．C 根据上下文可知，贝多芬快死之前还要坚持音乐创作，理所当然需要的是勇气。strength“力气”；energy“能量”；courage“勇气”；power“权力；力量”。
30．D 贝多芬继续创作，虽然他越来越听不清楚自己创作的音乐。
31．A 他失聪之后，很长时间我们还记得他所创作的音乐。for long“长时间地”，也是一个固定短语搭配。
32．C 他写的这些音乐和以前创作的音乐非常不同。play“演奏”；perform“表演”；make“制作”；sing“唱歌”。
33．A 贝多芬写的是一些豪放的、富有激情的革命音乐，而不是像早期的音乐家写的优雅音乐。
34．A 见上题解析。
35．C 根据句意可知，贝多芬的音乐使我们回忆起他艰难而勇敢的一生。rich“富裕的”；happy“高兴的；快乐的”；troubled“艰难的；困难的”；successful“成功的”。
36．B 主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍了死海的成因及特性，主要是告诉我们死海的特别之处，从而为下文的叙述作铺垫。
37．A 词义猜测题。根据上下文，作者所强调的是“接受”的同时还要“给予”，故答案为A项。
38．D 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句可知，我们往往觉得自己拥有的本来就不多，所以不能给予，故答案为D项。
【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文。中国在过去是自行车的王国，而现在仍然有很多人喜欢骑自行车出行，因为这种交通方式方便、省钱。为了融入这种文化，“我”也买了一辆自行车。但是在回家途中，发现骑车过街是最大的问题，需要时间、技巧和一点儿运气。但是骑行经历让“我”觉得很愉快、很有趣。
39．B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For many，it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.”可知，自行车如今仍然很受欢迎，是因为它的便捷和经济。根据倒数第二段和倒数第三段的叙述可知，骑自行车并不安全，速度也不是很快，故A项和D项错误；文章虽然提到了自行车的颜色多种多样，但这并不是它受欢迎的原因，故C项错误。
40．C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话“Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture...”可知，作者购买自行车是因为迫切地想融入中国的这种文化之中，故C项正确。作者在有了骑行经历之后才发现了其中的乐趣，故A项错误；文章并未提到作者购买自行车是为了作为交通工具或者提高骑行技术，故排除B项和D项。
41．B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的叙述可知，骑车过街是最大的问题，需要时间、技巧和运气，因此作者认为骑车过街非常困难。其余选项均与本段内容不符。
42．D 推理判断题。由最后一段可知，空气吹拂脸颊和头发的感觉很美妙，骑行时就像坐在了世界的顶端，骑自行车使作者觉得充满了活力。由此可判断出，作者觉得骑自行车很有乐趣，故D项正确。A项意为“作者喜欢炫耀自己的骑行技术”；B项意为“作者很讨厌骑行时的空气”；C项意为“作者被其他骑行人员赞扬了”，均与文章内容不符。
43．C 细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句可知，作者认为学习语言时，设定目标是必要的。
44．D 推理判断题。作者给出“homework”的用意是，让你判断你是否适合继续学习现在正在学习的语言，你是否应该终止现在的学习。
45．A 篇章结构题。结合第一段中提出的问题、第三段中的问句、最后一段中的问句及作者给出的自己的观点可推知，本文作者是采用了先呈现问题然后给出建议的方式展开本文的。
46．B 细节理解题。根据文章最后两句可知，作者的观点是：如果你真的不喜欢现在正在学习的语言，就应该及时放弃，也可以试着去学习另外一种语言。
47．B 细节判断题。该题考查“乡村音乐”这一术语形成的年代，通过第三段第四句可知。
48．C 细节理解题。根据文章中的第二段“Country music includes a range of musical styles from hill-billy and honky-tonk to traditional Irish folk music and modern pop.”及最后一段“Country stars like Patsy Cline...”可知答案。
49．A 句意理解题。根据第三段country music 的叫法的由来可知答案。
50．A 推理判断题。根据第四段首句的“Country music owes a lot to the folk songs which were brought across the Atlantic by British emigrants and passed down the generations.”可知folk songs对乡村音乐的发展产生过重大作用，所以其形成时间比乡村音乐早。

Our_class_held a discussion about whether music should be played during a class break or not.The opinions are divided.Most of us agree that music should be played.As we know，music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere.Besides，music brings us relaxation after hard study，which reduces the tiredness.Listening to music also makes us feel happy and nice.On the other hand，some students don't think so.In their opinion，we can't get the expected result by playing music，as the class break time is too short.What is needed most during the class break is peace instead of noise produced by the music.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
(2013·陕西高考)In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately，the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I'd hitch a ride(搭便车)．
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally，a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn't give me a lift，I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured(使……放心) me I was safe，and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch，he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I'd been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me，“You haven't changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”
I couldn't remember where I'd met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

3．The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that________．
A．she realized he was Gordon
B．she had known him for decades
C．she was going to the nearby town
D．she wanted to repay the favour she once got
4．What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?

B．Those who give rides will be repaid.
C．Good manners bring about happiness.
D．People should offer free rides to others.

9．C 上文说他停止上课了，再根据but可以推出，他仍然在“练习”，所以应用practising。

11．A Robby的“坚韧”打动了作者，故该题的正确答案为persistence。
12．C 从下文的“It was in the end that Robby came up”可知，作者让Robby最后一个上场，故此处应用last。

People who take pills often come to depend on the drugs.So you lie awake knowing that the new workday will soon arrive.
A new study has found that you might fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer if you try“cerebral hypothermia”．No，cerebral hypothermia is not a complex medical process.It just means cooling down your brain.Eric Nofzinger and Daniel Buysse of the University of Pittsburgh Medical School led the study.They examined twelve people who had insomnia．Twelve others had no sleep problems.Each of them wore a soft plastic cap at bed time，which had tubes inside filled with water.
The first two nights of testing，the patients wore no water caps.During the next two nights，the caps were worn，but the water was not cooled.Then the researchers cooled the water a little for two nights.On the final two nights of the study，the temperature of the water was made much cooler.
The researchers found that the water caps did not help the insomnia patients until the temperature was about 14℃.Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water was moving around their heads.
Dr Nofzinger and Dr Buysse noted that this is only the beginning of the brain temperature study.But they believe they have discovered something important that needs more research.They presented their test results in June at a meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies in Minneapolis，Minnesota.

Ⅱ.1.B 句意：包括汤姆在内，我们十人已经被这所大学录取。句子已有谓语，故排除A、C项；included放在被修饰词的后边；including放在被修饰词的前面。
2．B 根据avoid的用法，avoid后接动名词或名词，故应排除C、D两项。A项affecting后应有宾语，故A项不对。故答案为B。
3．B react为动词，意为“作出反应、回应，有不良反应，过敏”等。句意：人们对某些食品添加剂会严重过敏。reactionary为形容词，意为“反动的”；reaction为名词，意为“反应”；reactor为名词，意为“反应器”。根据句意，故选B。
4．A 句意：穿上白色的制服，他看上去更像是一个厨师，而不像是一个医生。be dressed in...“穿……衣服”，为固定短语，此处为过去分词短语作伴随状语。
5．B 句意：试试这件蓝色的，我认为它将适合你。suit常指(时间、场合、颜色等)适合，fit常指(大小、尺寸)适合，故选B。
6．C 句意：这种新型机器是两年前制造的。
7．A be unique to“独有的，独特的”，为固定短语，故A项正确。
8．B 她拒不同意。impression“印象”；permission“准许，允许”，符合句意，relation“关系”；destruction“破坏”。
9．D 句意：他的国家的免费医疗包括精神病和一般的疾病。ordinary“普通的，一般的”，符合语境。normal“正常的，平常的”；regular“通常的，常规的”；average“平均的，普通的”。
