【知识点】记叙文;人物故事类
【解析】【分析】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述一天“我”为离开温暖的家而伤心难过时,祖父过来安慰“我”,并告诉“我”无论发生什么永远不要说再见。直到祖父去世时,“我”才真正明白祖父所说的“永远不要说再见”的真正含义——不要屈服于悲伤和难过。
(1)A 根据语境可知,此处指“我”跑到后院,任泪水流淌。突然“我”感觉有只手放在“我”的肩膀上。feel感觉到,符合语境。
(2)C 此处指“我”抬起头结果看见是祖父。see强调看的结果;watch强调有意识地“观看”。
(3)C 由上文可知,祖父看到“我”因不得不离开家而悲伤难过得哭了,所以他会说“不容易是吗”,故此处应为easy。
(4)B 根据倒数第二段最后一句话“...I took hishand as________as he had once taken mine.”可知,此处应填taking,与下文相照应。
(5)A “________ahuge red rosebush sat alone”为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the front yard,先行词在从句中作地点状语,故填关系副词where。
(6)A 此处指“我”看着花不知道该说什么。________to say为宾语从句,从句中缺少成分,故应用关系代词what引导,作动词say的宾语。
(7)D 根据下文“It isn't just the roses that are beautiful,Billy.”可知,此处应填beautiful,与下文相照应。
(8)A 根据语境可知,此处是指祖父把“我”拉近。close符合语境。
(9)B 根据语境可知,此处是指当祖父的第一个儿子出生时,他种植了这些玫瑰。plant意为“种植”,符合语境。
(10)C method指相当精心安排的技术技巧所构成的方法,强调以效率与精确为其目标;way为普通用语,指一般的方法,a/the way ofdoing sth./to do sth.意为“做某事的方法”;A、D项之后都接介词to。
(11)D 由下文“a terrible war robbed him of his life”可知,此处为祖父过去常常看儿子摘玫瑰花给妻子,而现在无法看到了,因为战争夺去了他年轻的生命。used to do sth.意为“过去常常做某事”,符合语境。
(12)C give up放弃;giveoff发出(气味等);give in屈服,让步;giveaway赠送;泄露,出卖。根据文章最后一句话“...about refusing to give in to sadness.”可知,此处应填give in,与下文相照应。
(13)B 由并列连词and可知,空格处与前面joy相呼应。
(14)A 由下一句“Then all members ofthe family were________back,andI returned to the old house.”可知,祖父这时病重。
(15)B 由于祖父病重,所以把家里所有的成员都叫回来。call符合语境。
(16)C 此处指祖父临终前和家人作临终告白,当轮到“我”时……turn意为“轮流”,符合语境。
(17)D 由第二段“Gently________myhand in his...”可知,当轮到“我”时,“我”像祖父曾经抓住“我”的手一样轻轻地抓住他的手。所以gently符合语境。
(18)D laugh笑;shout喊叫,大声说;add接着说,补充说;whisper小声说,耳语。此处指“我”小声地说:“你好,祖父”。A、B、C项皆不符合语境。
(19)C 此处应指祖父和“我”说完话之后是含笑而终。smile符合语境。
(20)B 此处是指突然“我”真正明白了祖父曾经说的关于“永远不要说再见”的含义。
三、阅读理解
17.阅读理解
The interview had been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well.Then,suddenly,the interviewer asks an unexpected question,“Which is more important,law or Dove?”
Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this.And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.
Employers want people skilled,enthusiastic and devoted.So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are.In response,employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant's true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter.It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems,rather than what they know.This is often called an aptitude test (能力倾向测验).
According to Mark Baldwin many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult.When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.
This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma.Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest.But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for.Remember that in an aptitude test,the correct answer is always the honest answer.
(1)The writer wrote the passage to________.
A.give you a piece of advice on a job interview
B.tell you how to meet a job interviewer
C.describe the aptitude test
D.advice you how to find a job
(2)Why do the interviewers ask such questions
A.They want to discover what the interviewees know.
B.They are curious about the answers.
C.They try to discover the ability of the interviewees solving problems.
D.They just ask questions without thinking much.
(3)According to the writer,in an aptitude test,Chinese job applicants should________.
A.not tell the truth
B.learn to tell what they really think
C.be more enthusiastic
D.try to find out what the examiner really want to know
(4)From the passage we know that________.
A.job applicants are always asked such questions
B.more Chinese applicants fail to find a job
C.applicants should not act as reasonably as a prisoner
D.the aptitude test is becoming popular worldwide
【答案】(1)A
(2)C
(3)B
(4)D
【解析】【分析】本文讲述了现代企业招聘面试中的能力倾向测试并为求职者提供了回答此类问题的技巧。
(1) A [写作目的题。通读全文可知,本文意在为面试者提供建议。]
(2)C [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems,rather than what they know.”可知答案为C项。]
(3)B [细节理解题。根据最后一段的最后一句“Remember that in an aptitude test,the correct answer is always the honest answer.”可知,在能力倾向测验中,求职者应该给出一个诚实的答案。]
(4)D [推理判断题。根据文章第二段的内容可知,西方的求职者们不断发现他们被问到类似这样的奇怪问题,而且有迹象表明这种情况在中国也开始出现。由此可推知D项正确。]
18.阅读理解
Dyslexia is a learning disorder. It interferes with the ability to recognize words, and for some readers to understand what they have read. Experts say dyslexia affects about five to ten percent of the population of the United States. Researchers have long known that people with dyslexia write or read words and letters backwards in the wrong order.
But a new study shows that people with dyslexia may have trouble redirecting their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something. The study suggests something that might help dyslexic people learn more quickly—play video games.
Vanessa Harrar of Britain's University of Oxford led the study. She reported the findings in the journal Current Biology. The study suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear.
In the study, Doctor Harrar tested 17 people with dyslexia, and 19 others without reading problems. The volunteers were asked to push a button as quickly as possible when they heard a sound, saw a light or experienced both together. Doctor Harrar compared the speed of their reactions. She found that people with dyslexia were just as fast as the others when they saw only a picture or heard only a sound. But the Dyslexics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a picture at the same time, this may have an effect on how dyslexic children are taught how to read.
Doctor Harrar feels like playing video games could help dyslexic people shift from seeing to hearing more quickly. She adds that images in video games force the eyes to move and focus quickly. “Video game types of things pop out of here and there, they move your eyes around the screen quite quickly in response to things quite quickly, and the more you play a video game the faster you get that kind of thing. So, the video game is really training the attention system to move quickly,” said Harrar. When children learn the alphabet, they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound, or they see and hear the letter at the same time. The study shows that Dyslexics might learn more quickly if they hear the sound of a letter or word first before seeing it.
(1)According to Doctor Harrar's study, the dyslexic people have difficulty in ________.
A.recognizing words B.reading words backwards
C.writing letters in order D.shifting from seeing to hearing
(2)Which factor affects the way dyslexic children are taught to read
A.They react more slowly to a single picture or sound
B.They react as fast as others to a single picture or sound
C.It takes them longer to react to sounds and pictures together
D.It is difficult for them to understand before seeing the word
(3)How does the author suggest Dyslexics are taught based on the research finding
A.by putting hearing previous to seeing
B.by training the attention on games
C.by seeing first and then hearing later
D.by moving the eyes around the screen
(4)What can be the best title of the passage
A.Video Games Might Help Dyslexics
B.Dyslexia Affects Attention between Senses
C.Video Games Can Train the Attention System
D.Dyslexics Might Learn Better through Sound
【答案】(1)D
(2)C
(3)A
(4)A
【解析】【分析】文章介绍了一个新的研究结果,玩视频游戏可能帮助失读症的人,文章具体介绍失读症的人的症状和通过玩视频游戏有什么改善。
(1)D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Thestudy suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from whatthey read to what they hear.”和第四段第三句中的“DoctorHarrar feels like playing action video games could help dyslexic people shiftfrom seeing to hearing more quickly.”可知有阅读障碍的人在所看到的和所听到的东西之间进行转换时有困难。
(2)C 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句中的“But the Dyslexics had a slower reaction time when theyheard a sound and saw a picture at the same time, this may have an effect onhow dyslexic children are taught how to read.”可知应选C。
(3)A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The study shows that Dyslexics might learn more quickly ifthey hear the sound of a letter or word first before seeing it.”可知有阅读障碍的人在看到一个单词之前先听到它,他们反应会快一些,故选A项。
(4)A 标题确定题文章主要讲述了研究表明视频游戏能帮助有阅读障碍者学习,故用A作为文章的标题最好。
四、短文填空
19.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Relax during ajob interview
Few people actually like job interviewing. It's nerve-wracking(摧残神经的) trying to show your “best” self to a perfect stranger. That's not easy. But there are some ways to pull yourself together and feel more confident. Prepare solid talking points. It's always best to over-prepare for possible questions by not only researching thecompany and the person interviewing you, but also by preparing answers andpracticing those responses. Review the skills and experiences requested in the job announcement and have two to three examples how you have demonstrated eachone. Remember: It's a two-waystreet. This is conversation, not an interrogation(审问). Remembering that this is a back and forth discussion, where you can and should ask questions as well as answer them, canhelp you feel more comfortable.
Just breathe. Your body will relax lot. You want to avoid upper chestbreathing, as it tends to just move you, stress upward to your face.
if you go into an interview picking apart your outfit or imperfect responses,you're only hurting your chances of coming off as calm and collected. Turn off your negative self-talk and then createa different self-talk message, like,“I am here to share the best of my ability and that is all I can really do.”
Work it out. Putting in some gym time the morning of your interview can help you getrid of any nervous tension. Exercise helps calm your nervous system and tendsto reduce the intensity of physical manifestations(表现形式)of stress such as restlessness.
A.Stop the negative thoughts.
B.Putyour idea into practice.
C.When faced with an interviewer, you may be nervous.
D.Before you walk into your interview, take a few deepbreaths.
E.You're trying to prove you're the one for the job and thatyou can handle stressful situations.
F.Don't forget that you're not the only one beinginterviewed—you're also interviewing the organization.
G.This will strengthen your answers and allow you to show howyour experience is relevant to the job or organization for which you'reinterviewing.
【答案】E;G;F;D;A
【解析】【分析】本文是励志类短文。主要告诉我们如何在紧张的面试中放松自己,取得理想的面试效果。 (1)E 根据题干和E中的关键词:job interviewing,theone for the job,nerve-wracking(摧残神经的)和handle stressful situations等判断答案。故选E。 (2)G 根据题干和G中的关键词:experience,answer,responds等判断答案。故选G。 (3)F 根据题干和F中的关键词:interviewing the organization,aback and forth discussion等判断答案。故选F。 (4)D 根据题干和D中的关键词:breathe,takea few deep breaths等判断答案。故选D。 (5)A 根据题干和A中的关键词:picking apart your outfit or imperfect responses,negative等判断答案。故选A。
五、语法填空
20.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。
John:I've been noticing recently quite a lot of black smokecoming out of the chimneys of that factory near our school,which really pollutes the air here.
Mary:Yes, does. But I heard recently that the (own)ofthe factory have promised to take measures to reduce their factory's pollution.
John:I hope they will keep their promise.
Mary:I think they will. I've been told that special machineis supposed to be fixed by the end ofthis year. It's said that the machine clean the dust out of the smoke before it goes into the air.
John:That's good. Dust is really (harm) to our lungs. I knowthat because my family lives near a steel factory with a chimney constantly (pour)out black smoke.
Mary:Oh, you live near the steel factory Is it true that we shouldn't eat the fish from the lake near thesteel factory
John:Yes,that's true—the lakehas been (pollute)by waste from the steel factory.
Mary:Why don't they do anything to clean up the pollution
John:They always promise, never act. A bit of action is we need.
Mary:You're .
【答案】it;owners;a;can/will;harmful;pouring;polluted;but;what;right/correct
【解析】【分析】约翰和玛丽在谈论空气污染问题。
①it 此处用it指代上文中的quite a lot of black smoke。设空处后的does与上文的pollutes对应。
②owners “the”和“of”之间应为名词,此处用own的名词形式owner表示“(那家工厂的)所有人”,又由空后的助动词have和their可知此处应用复数形式。
③a machine为可数名词,在本句中表泛指,故用不定冠词a。
④can/will 据说那种机器能够/将会净化烟中的尘埃。can表示能力;will表示对将来事情的预料。
⑤harmful beharmful to“对……有害”。
⑥pouring 考查非谓语动词作宾补。with后的宾语a chimney与pour之间为逻辑上的主动关系且表示正在进行的动作,故用现在分词作宾补。
⑦polluted 现在完成时的被动语态结构为“have/hasbeen+过去分词”。
⑧but 前后两部分为转折关系,故用but连接。
⑨what 句意:我们需要的是一点点的行动。“__9__ we need”为表语从句。表语从句中缺少宾语且表示“事物”,故用what引导。
⑩right/correct “You're right/correct”表示同意对方的说法。

The interview had been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well.Then,suddenly,the interviewer asks an unexpected question,“Which is more important,law or Dove?”
Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this.And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.
Employers want people skilled,enthusiastic and devoted.So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are.In response,employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant's true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter.It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems,rather than what they know.This is often called an aptitude test (能力倾向测验).
According to Mark Baldwin many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult.When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.
This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma.Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest.But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for.Remember that in an aptitude test,the correct answer is always the honest answer.
(1)The writer wrote the passage to________.
A.give you a piece of advice on a job interview
B.tell you how to meet a job interviewer
C.describe the aptitude test
D.advice you how to find a job
(2)Why do the interviewers ask such questions
A.They want to discover what the interviewees know.
B.They are curious about the answers.
C.They try to discover the ability of the interviewees solving problems.
D.They just ask questions without thinking much.
(3)According to the writer,in an aptitude test,Chinese job applicants should________.
A.not tell the truth
B.learn to tell what they really think
C.be more enthusiastic
D.try to find out what the examiner really want to know
(4)From the passage we know that________.
A.job applicants are always asked such questions
B.more Chinese applicants fail to find a job
C.applicants should not act as reasonably as a prisoner
D.the aptitude test is becoming popular worldwide

Dyslexia is a learning disorder. It interferes with the ability to recognize words, and for some readers to understand what they have read. Experts say dyslexia affects about five to ten percent of the population of the United States. Researchers have long known that people with dyslexia write or read words and letters backwards in the wrong order.
But a new study shows that people with dyslexia may have trouble redirecting their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something. The study suggests something that might help dyslexic people learn more quickly—play video games.
Vanessa Harrar of Britain's University of Oxford led the study. She reported the findings in the journal Current Biology. The study suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear.
In the study, Doctor Harrar tested 17 people with dyslexia, and 19 others without reading problems. The volunteers were asked to push a button as quickly as possible when they heard a sound, saw a light or experienced both together. Doctor Harrar compared the speed of their reactions. She found that people with dyslexia were just as fast as the others when they saw only a picture or heard only a sound. But the Dyslexics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a picture at the same time, this may have an effect on how dyslexic children are taught how to read.
Doctor Harrar feels like playing video games could help dyslexic people shift from seeing to hearing more quickly. She adds that images in video games force the eyes to move and focus quickly. “Video game types of things pop out of here and there, they move your eyes around the screen quite quickly in response to things quite quickly, and the more you play a video game the faster you get that kind of thing. So, the video game is really training the attention system to move quickly,” said Harrar. When children learn the alphabet, they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound, or they see and hear the letter at the same time. The study shows that Dyslexics might learn more quickly if they hear the sound of a letter or word first before seeing it.
(1)According to Doctor Harrar's study, the dyslexic people have difficulty in ________.
A.recognizing words B.reading words backwards
C.writing letters in order D.shifting from seeing to hearing
(2)Which factor affects the way dyslexic children are taught to read
A.They react more slowly to a single picture or sound
B.They react as fast as others to a single picture or sound
C.It takes them longer to react to sounds and pictures together
D.It is difficult for them to understand before seeing the word
(3)How does the author suggest Dyslexics are taught based on the research finding
A.by putting hearing previous to seeing
B.by training the attention on games
C.by seeing first and then hearing later
D.by moving the eyes around the screen
(4)What can be the best title of the passage
A.Video Games Might Help Dyslexics
B.Dyslexia Affects Attention between Senses
C.Video Games Can Train the Attention System
D.Dyslexics Might Learn Better through Sound

Relax during ajob interview
Few people actually like job interviewing. It's nerve-wracking(摧残神经的) trying to show your “best” self to a perfect stranger. That's not easy. But there are some ways to pull yourself together and feel more confident. Prepare solid talking points. It's always best to over-prepare for possible questions by not only researching thecompany and the person interviewing you, but also by preparing answers andpracticing those responses. Review the skills and experiences requested in the job announcement and have two to three examples how you have demonstrated eachone. Remember: It's a two-waystreet. This is conversation, not an interrogation(审问). Remembering that this is a back and forth discussion, where you can and should ask questions as well as answer them, canhelp you feel more comfortable.
Just breathe. Your body will relax lot. You want to avoid upper chestbreathing, as it tends to just move you, stress upward to your face.
if you go into an interview picking apart your outfit or imperfect responses,you're only hurting your chances of coming off as calm and collected. Turn off your negative self-talk and then createa different self-talk message, like,“I am here to share the best of my ability and that is all I can really do.”
Work it out. Putting in some gym time the morning of your interview can help you getrid of any nervous tension. Exercise helps calm your nervous system and tendsto reduce the intensity of physical manifestations(表现形式)of stress such as restlessness.
A.Stop the negative thoughts.
B.Putyour idea into practice.
C.When faced with an interviewer, you may be nervous.
D.Before you walk into your interview, take a few deepbreaths.
E.You're trying to prove you're the one for the job and thatyou can handle stressful situations.
F.Don't forget that you're not the only one beinginterviewed—you're also interviewing the organization.
G.This will strengthen your answers and allow you to show howyour experience is relevant to the job or organization for which you'reinterviewing.

【知识点】记叙文;人物故事类
【解析】【分析】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述一天“我”为离开温暖的家而伤心难过时,祖父过来安慰“我”,并告诉“我”无论发生什么永远不要说再见。直到祖父去世时,“我”才真正明白祖父所说的“永远不要说再见”的真正含义——不要屈服于悲伤和难过。
(1)A 根据语境可知,此处指“我”跑到后院,任泪水流淌。突然“我”感觉有只手放在“我”的肩膀上。feel感觉到,符合语境。
(2)C 此处指“我”抬起头结果看见是祖父。see强调看的结果;watch强调有意识地“观看”。
(3)C 由上文可知,祖父看到“我”因不得不离开家而悲伤难过得哭了,所以他会说“不容易是吗”,故此处应为easy。
(4)B 根据倒数第二段最后一句话“...I took hishand as________as he had once taken mine.”可知,此处应填taking,与下文相照应。
(5)A “________ahuge red rosebush sat alone”为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the front yard,先行词在从句中作地点状语,故填关系副词where。
(6)A 此处指“我”看着花不知道该说什么。________to say为宾语从句,从句中缺少成分,故应用关系代词what引导,作动词say的宾语。
(7)D 根据下文“It isn't just the roses that are beautiful,Billy.”可知,此处应填beautiful,与下文相照应。
(8)A 根据语境可知,此处是指祖父把“我”拉近。close符合语境。
(9)B 根据语境可知,此处是指当祖父的第一个儿子出生时,他种植了这些玫瑰。plant意为“种植”,符合语境。
(10)C method指相当精心安排的技术技巧所构成的方法,强调以效率与精确为其目标;way为普通用语,指一般的方法,a/the way ofdoing sth./to do sth.意为“做某事的方法”;A、D项之后都接介词to。
(11)D 由下文“a terrible war robbed him of his life”可知,此处为祖父过去常常看儿子摘玫瑰花给妻子,而现在无法看到了,因为战争夺去了他年轻的生命。used to do sth.意为“过去常常做某事”,符合语境。
(12)C give up放弃;giveoff发出(气味等);give in屈服,让步;giveaway赠送;泄露,出卖。根据文章最后一句话“...about refusing to give in to sadness.”可知,此处应填give in,与下文相照应。
(13)B 由并列连词and可知,空格处与前面joy相呼应。
(14)A 由下一句“Then all members ofthe family were________back,andI returned to the old house.”可知,祖父这时病重。
(15)B 由于祖父病重,所以把家里所有的成员都叫回来。call符合语境。
(16)C 此处指祖父临终前和家人作临终告白,当轮到“我”时……turn意为“轮流”,符合语境。
(17)D 由第二段“Gently________myhand in his...”可知,当轮到“我”时,“我”像祖父曾经抓住“我”的手一样轻轻地抓住他的手。所以gently符合语境。
(18)D laugh笑;shout喊叫,大声说;add接着说,补充说;whisper小声说,耳语。此处指“我”小声地说:“你好,祖父”。A、B、C项皆不符合语境。
(19)C 此处应指祖父和“我”说完话之后是含笑而终。smile符合语境。
(20)B 此处是指突然“我”真正明白了祖父曾经说的关于“永远不要说再见”的含义。

20.【答案】it;owners;a;can/will;harmful;pouring;polluted;but;what;right/correct
【解析】【分析】约翰和玛丽在谈论空气污染问题。
①it 此处用it指代上文中的quite a lot of black smoke。设空处后的does与上文的pollutes对应。
②owners “the”和“of”之间应为名词,此处用own的名词形式owner表示“(那家工厂的)所有人”,又由空后的助动词have和their可知此处应用复数形式。
③a machine为可数名词,在本句中表泛指,故用不定冠词a。
④can/will 据说那种机器能够/将会净化烟中的尘埃。can表示能力;will表示对将来事情的预料。
⑤harmful beharmful to“对……有害”。
⑥pouring 考查非谓语动词作宾补。with后的宾语a chimney与pour之间为逻辑上的主动关系且表示正在进行的动作,故用现在分词作宾补。
⑦polluted 现在完成时的被动语态结构为“have/hasbeen+过去分词”。
⑧but 前后两部分为转折关系,故用but连接。
⑨what 句意:我们需要的是一点点的行动。“__9__ we need”为表语从句。表语从句中缺少宾语且表示“事物”,故用what引导。
⑩right/correct “You're right/correct”表示同意对方的说法。
