Christopher Paolini，born in 1983 in Southern California，is the author of the Inheritance Cycle book series，which consists of the books Eragon，Eldest，Brisingr, and Inheritance.
Christopher Paolini lives in Paradise Valley，Montana，where he wrote the first book Eragon.Homeschooled by his parents，Paolini graduated from high school at the age of 15，but felt he was not yet mature enough for college，so in his spare time he wrote Eragon.After writing the first draft for a year，he spent a second year rewriting it，and then presented it to his parents.They saw the book's potential and published it in 2001 through their home-based publishing company，Paolini International.
Paolini and his family toured across the US to promote the book.Over 135 talks were given at bookshops, libraries, and schools，but the book did not receive much attention.Paolini said，“I would stand behind a table talking all day without a break—and would sell maybe forty books in eight hours if I did really well...It was a very stressful experience.I couldn't have gone on for very much longer.”
In the summer of 2002，American novelist Carl Hiaasen was on vacation in one of the cities that Paolini gave a talk in.While there，his stepson bought a copy of Eragon that he “immediately loved”．He showed it to his stepfather，who brought the book to the attention of the publishing house Alfred A．Knopf.Michelle Frey，executive editor at Knopf，contacted Paolini and his family to ask if they were interested in having Knopf publish Eragon.The answer was yes，and Knopf republished Eragon in August 2003, which was followed by Eldest in 2005, Brisingr in 2008, and Inheritance in 2011.
36．According to the text，Eragon was________.
A．completed in two years
B．written by Paolini at college
C．named after a fictional world
D．created in Southern California
37．What was the attitude of Paolini's parents towards his efforts to write?
A．Amazed. B．Unconcerned.
C．Tolerant. D．Supportive.
38．Eragon was recommended to Alfred A．Knopf by ________.
A．Paolini's father
B．Carl Hiaasen
C．Carl Hiaasen's stepson
D．Michelle Frey
39．For what purpose is the text mainly written?
A．To advertise the book Eragon.
B．To show Paolini's personal life.
C．To describe the history of Eragon.
D．To introduce a series of fantasy novels.
B
It is important to diagnose (诊断) cancer as early as possible.Some kinds of cancer, however, are especially hard to spot, including cancer of the head and neck.This is why a study published in The Journal of Cancer Research seems to hold good news for cancer diagnosis.The study shows that a tool called Nano Artificial Nose (or shortened to Na-Nose) is able to detect the breath of patients with the head and neck cancer.In other words，Na-Nose can “smell” the head and neck cancer.
Israeli researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology collected breath samples from volunteers: 22 with various head and neck cancers, 24 with lung cancer，and 36 healthy and cancer-free.The technology of Na-Nose is based on its ability to detect different chemical compounds (混合物) in the breath.The tool is so sensitive that it can tell the difference between people with and without cancer，as well as detecting which patients have the head and neck cancer.
The significance of this study is the possibility of detecting these hard-to-diagnose cancers at an earlier stage, leading to quicker treatment.Lead researcher Professor Hossam Haick said, “There's a desperate need to develop new ways to detect the head and neck cancer because diagnosis of the disease is complicated, requiring specialist examinations.We've shown that a simple breath test can spot the patterns of molecules (分子)which are found in head and neck cancer patients in a small，early study.”
The Journal of Cancer Research，which published the study，is owned by Cancer Research UK.The charity's head of cancer information, Dr.Lesley Walker，said，“It's important to be clear that this is a small study，at a very early stage，so many more years of research with patients will be needed to see if a breath test could be used in the clinic.”
40．The main fun_ction of Na-Nose is to________.
A．treat various kinds of cancer
B．collect the breath of patients
C．check whether people are healthy
D．help spot the head and neck cancer
41．From what Hossam Haick said we know________.
A．Na-Nose is convenient to use
B．the breath test is not always effective
C．the head and neck cancer is a rare disease
D．cancer researchers are making slow progress
42．Lesley Walker seems to think that________.
A．Na-Nose will play a great part in people's lives
B．the new technology will soon be used in the clinic
C．more study about Na-Nose should be conducted
D．the head and neck cancer can be cured in the near future
43．The main purpose of the text is to________.
A．report an important development in cancer research
B．explain why cancer patients'breath is different
C．show the features of the head and neck cancer
D．introduce a new way of treating cancer
C
Let's be honest：If you like to take lots of vacation，the United States is not the place to work.Besides a handful of national holidays，the typical American worker gets two or three precious weeks off out of a whole year to relax and see the world—much less than what people in many other countries receive.Only 57% of the US workers use up all of the days they're entitled (授权) to，compared with 89% of workers in France, a recent research found.
So what's going on here？A big reason for the difference is that paid time off is supported by law in many parts of the world.Germany is among more than two dozen industrialized countries—from Australia to Slovenia to Japan—that require employers to offer four weeks or more of paid vacation to their workers，according to a 2009 study by the human resources consulting company Mercer.Finland, Brazil and France are the champions, guaranteeing six weeks of time off.
But employers in the United States have no duty under federal law to offer any paid vacation, so about a quarter of all American workers don't have access to it，government figures show.That makes the US the only advanced nation in the world that doesn't guarantee its workers annual leave，according to a report titled “No-Vacation Nation” by the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a liberal policy group.
But the fear of layoffs(下岗) and the ever-faster pace of work mean many Americans don't want to be absent from the office—anxious that they might look like they're not willing to work hard.Or they worry they won't be able to deal with the backlog (积压未办之事)of work waiting for them after a vacation.
Working more makes Americans happier than Europeans, according to a study published recently in the Journal of Happiness Studies.That may be because Americans believe more than Europeans do that hard work is associated with success, wrote Adam Okulicz-Kozaryn，the study's author and an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Dallas.“Americans increase their happiness by working, and Europeans increase their happiness through vacation，” he found.
44．Which of the following countries has the longest paid vacation?
A．America. B．Germany.
C．Australia. D．France.
45．What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Federal law. B．Paid vacation.
C．Annual leave. D．Long vacation.
46．What is the text mainly about?
A．Why American workers have fewer vacations.
B．The reasons why American workers dislike work.
C．How workers in different countries take vacations.
D．Why American workers are happier than Europeans.
D
In the last two years, we've watched kids on reality TV working like dogs for 14 hours per day，getting yelled at by bad-tempered caretakers and receiving toilet training in front of a national audience.
All bad enough.But it wasn't until people saw the bad situations of Falcon Heene, the child who has sadly come to be known as Balloon Boy，that they really paid attention.He was sick on the Today Show，which made the entire nation feel sick as well.Millions of us stayed glued to our TVs on October 15, praying and watching the live drama as helicopters and jets flew over Colorado tracking a silver balloon which was thought to be holding 6-year-old Falcon.But in the end we found out that the child had been hiding in the attic(阁楼) of his house.The whole thing was a trick played by Falcon's parents who hoped to get their own reality TV show.
“This affair made all of us feel sick，” said reporter Jere Hester on www.nbcmiami.com.The national reaction against Falcon's parents has encouraged activists to push for ethical (伦理的) treatment of kids on reality TV.
“Now everybody gets it! We cannot keep doing this to kids，”said Paul Petersen，a kid star on The Donna Reed Show and now an advocate for kids on TV.His organization, A Minor Consideration, has been trying for years to put an end to the action of making use of children on television.
“Children are treated like slaves，” said Petersen，“They don't have freedom.” That's absolutely true, says Dr.Drew Pinsky, host of VHI's Celebrity Rehab.And Petersen says the effects are long-term.“The images of these kids on the potty (便壶)and being angry will open them up to unkind laughter or remarks as they get older.”
Protecting children from being made use of by TV shows may finally be an issue for lawmakers.Petersen says no reality shows are filmed in California because the state's child labor laws are the strictest in the country.He would like to see a similar federal law to protect kids.
47．Falcon Heene's story told in Paragraph 2 is mainly to________.
A．tell us that kids nowadays lack courage
B．explain why kids take part in reality TV shows
C．prove that reality TV shows are usually not true
D．show that kids on reality TV shows are badly treated
48．After watching Falcon Heene's show, activists realized that they must________.
A．encourage kids to say no to their parents
B．ask TV producers to be honest with the public
C．try to prevent kids from being hurt by TV shows
D．help the public know the challenges facing TV stations
49．Paul Petersen would agree that kids on TV shows________.
A．may suffer in the future
B．are usually very popular at school
C．can easily lose their temper in the future
D．are likely to be admired by people around them
50．In the author's opinion, reality TV shows involving kids are________.
A．boring B．exciting
C．reasonable D．unacceptable

综合检测(二)
1．D conclude总结；explain解释；introduce介绍；clarify阐明。句意：一些记者请新当选的总统就教育改革阐明他的观点。
2．C point out指出；make out辨别出，填写，理解；leave out省略，漏掉；put out扑灭。此处应用leave out表示“当你再写这一段时，我建议你省略最后那个句子，因为它很有误导性”。
3．D 句意：在英国电动火车已经取代了蒸汽火车。take place发生；take up占据(时间、空间)；take on呈现。
4．D to one's delight/joy使某人高兴的是；to one's excitement使某人激动的是；to one's disappointment使某人失望的是。句意：使他失望的是，不久前刚刚修过的MP4根本不能用。
5．D 句意：这起事件反映了宗教和科学间的冲突。conflict冲突，矛盾；quarrel吵架；battle战斗；war战争。
6．D 句意：约翰打开门，那里站着一个他之前从未见过的姑娘。当there置于句首，句子要用完全倒装，所以正确选项为D。
7．A 考查动词短语。句意：在我们商店概不赊欠，但这次我想我们应更周密地考虑这个问题。give credit“让赊欠”；work wonders“创造奇迹”；make bargains“达成协议；成交”；make sales“做成买卖”。
8．A keep his eyes open中open为形容词，作宾语补足语，表状态。
9．A “包括……”应用consist of。B项“由……组成”，主宾颠倒过来才正确，C、D项无被动形式。
10．A have为使役动词，意为“使、让”，后可接do，doing或done作宾补，宾语their written English与improve之间为被动关系，故用过去分词作宾补。
11．B 考查动词短语辨析。解决本题的关键是掌握不同的动词短语的含义。get away from“从……中离开；逃避”；break away from“脱离；断绝(关系)”；fill up with“填满；装满”；end up with“以……结束”。句意：和在困难的时候帮助过你的朋友们决裂是错误的。
12．C 句意：Dorothy把时间分配给工作、照看孩子和玩耍。宾语是三件事情，因此用among。
13．C 考查名词的用法。beyond all description的意思是“无法(用言语)表达”，即这里的景色很美，无法用言语表达。
14．C 考查quarrel与argue的区别。句意：关于2016年奥运会谁将获得最多的金牌，双方就此争辩起来。quarrel“争吵；吵架”，重在表达因生气或强烈的不满而同别人争吵；argue“争论；辩论”，重在就自己的看法或立场提出论证说理，力图说服他人。
15．A 考查形容词。thrilling“令人兴奋的；令人激动的”；thrilled“感到兴奋的；感到激动的”；shocking“令人震惊的”；shocked“感到震惊的”。从语境知3D影片《阿凡达》应是“令人激动不已的”，故选A项。

16．A 由语境可知，当人们在树底下蒸豌豆时猴子在树上“看着(watching)”下面发生的一切。

18．B 由第四段中的the men came back可知，那几个人“离开(turned away)”一会儿去照看马匹。
19．B 因为是偷吃别人的豌豆，故此处用gently符合语境。
20．C 由第22空后drop out of his mouth可知选mouth。
21．B 由第四段中的drop out of his mouth可知，猴子跳下树后，抓起豌豆就往嘴里和手里塞，直到塞不下为止。第21空用hold表示“放得下，容纳”。
22．B 猴子一叫，豌豆“开始(began)”从嘴里掉出来。
23．D 由本句中的the peas fell out of his hands too可知，此处表示猴子绝望地攥紧拳头，故选squeezed。
24．C 但是猴子并没有注意这些。下文中的All he thought of was that one pea was gone给出了提示。
25．A 前后两个句子之间是因果关系，故用so。
26．B
27．C 人们回来后看到猴子“乱动(playing with)”他们的锅，都“挥着(waved)”胳膊朝猴子吼叫。
28．A 接着他们又捡起石头“攻击(attack)”猴子。

30．A 由swung himself up可知，猴子抓住了离得最近的一个“树枝(branch)”，一荡荡到了树顶。
31．C 仓皇而逃后，猴子反思才意识到：不就是一粒豆子吗？用only符合语境。
32．A 由该句中的虚拟语气可知，此处指猴子本该早点想到这一点，故用earlier。
33．B 丢了所有的豆子，因此只能闻着豆香“味(smell)”充饥了。
34．C
35．D 猴子因小失大，因此作者希望这次“损失(loss)”能使猴子吸取教训，以后不要那么“贪婪(greedy)”。这也是这篇文章的寓意所在，我们人类又何尝不是这样？
【语篇解读】本文主要回顾了奇幻小说《遗产四部曲》第一部《伊拉龙》的出版过程。
36．A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的After writing the first draft for a year，he spent a second year rewriting it，and then presented it to his parents可知，鲍里尼用了两年时间完成了《伊拉龙》的创作。
37．D 推理判断题。根据第二段They saw the book's potential...和第三段Paolini and his family toured across the US to promote the book可知，鲍里尼的家人很支持他的写作事业。
38．B 细节理解题。最后一段中说到He showed it to his stepfather，who brought the book to the attention of the publishing house Alfred A．Knopf，这里his stepfather和who指的都是美国作家Carl Hiaasen。

【语篇解读】 本文介绍了相比较之下美国工人假期少的现象并剖析了原因。
44．D 细节理解题。根据第二段的Finland，Brazil and France are the champions，guaranteeing six weeks of time off可知，在四个选项中，法国的带薪假期最长。
45．B 推断指代题。根据上文可知，美国法律规定雇主没有义务提供带薪假期，因此大约有四分之一的美国工人就不能享受到带薪假期，故it指代paid vacation。
46．A 主旨大意题。文章开头就点出美国的工人假期很少，因此想享受假期的话，就不要去美国工作，接下来从几个方面分析了其中的原因，故A项正确。
【语篇解读】 作者认为小孩不应该上真人秀电视节目，希望相关部门出台法律保护他们的权益。
47．D 推理判断题。作者在第一段就指出一些小孩在节目上待遇不好的现象，但这种现象直到发生在Falcon Heene身上时才受到重视。作者在第二段讲了Falcon Heene上真人秀电视节目的故事。父母为了上节目一直让他在阁楼里待着，并导致他得病，这说明他没有被好好对待，故选D项。
48．C 推理判断题。根据第三段的The national reaction against Falcon's parents has encouraged activists to push for ethical treatment of kids on reality TV及第四段的Now everybody gets it！We cannot keep doing this to kids可推断看完节目后，激进分子认为应该阻止小孩被利用来上这样的节目。
49．A 细节理解题。根据第五段的And Petersen says the effects are long-term.“The images of these kids on the potty and being angry will open them up to unkind laughter or remarks as they get older.”可知应选A项，这种节目会对孩子的未来造成不良影响。

Dear_Tom，
It's_reported_that_the_7_billionth_baby_was_born_on_October_31st,2011.However，I'm not happy about the news.The problem is there are too many people on the planet and the overcrowding is threatening to become a disaster we can't control.People are suffering from various problems such as lack of resources，poverty，starvation and so on.The size of the human population is a danger not only to humans but also to the environment as more people mean more pollution.
We need to act now before it is too late.First，all the countries should cooperate and take effective measures to prevent the population from growing excessively.For example，people need to be sensible about the size of their families.Second，people need to take care of the planet and stop taking it for granted.After all，we have only one earth.

It was occasionally used as a Royal Palace for the Kings and Queens of England until the time of James Ⅰ but is best known as a prison and an execution place.Within the walls of the Tower，Princes have been murdered，spies shot，and Queens of England beheaded.One of the most famous executions was that of Anne Boleyn in 1536.She was the second wife of Henry Ⅷ.He wanted to get rid of her because she could not give him a son.She was tried and found guilty.The sword and the executioner were brought over specially from France and with one stroke the executioner cut off her head.

Every day I check my e-mail.Most of the time I am simply doing finger exercises，another form of piano practice without the beautiful tones.Sometimes, however，I receive a gift, reminding me of the gifts in my life.The following passage is one of those gifts：
Peter Jones is a 92-year-old, short, calm and proud man.Every morning he is fully dressed by eight o'clock，with his hair fashionably combed and face perfectly shaved; even though he is unable to see.He would move to a nursing home today.His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.
After hours of waiting patiently in the entrance hall of the nursing home，he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.As he moved his walker skillfully to the elevator，the nurse provided a visual description of his tiny room.“I love it，” he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new pet dog.
“Mr.Jones, you haven't been to the room，” said the nurse.
“That doesn't have anything to do with it，” he replied.“Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged ...it's how I arrange my mind.I have already decided to love it.It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up.I have a choice: I can spend the day in bed complaining of the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.Each day is a gift, and as long as I am alive, I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away.”
May each of our days continue to be a gift.

9．consistent 10.statue

2．B 考查短语辨析。in favour of赞成，支持；in memory of纪念；in place of代替；in case of假如，以防。句意：在5月12日有特别活动，以纪念在地震和救援中失去生命的人。
3．B thrilling 是形容词，意思是“令人激动的，令人毛骨悚然的”，一般用来修饰事物；thrilled 和 excited 则用来修饰人的内在感受。

5．B 句意：如果你坚持像那样工作，你的身体早晚会被搞垮的。break down意为“身体垮掉”，故选B项。

7．A 本题考查非谓语动词的用法。根据句子的结构，可知unless后所填动词应与the flowers存在形式上的动宾关系，所以选A项，也可理解为unless they are watered，因主、从句主语一致而省略了they are。
8．C to one's credit“值得赞扬”，符合句意。句意：你拾金不昧，非常值得赞扬；感谢你的诚实。
9．D make oneself heard意为“让别人听到自己”，heard是过去分词在这里作宾语补足语，用动词不定式表目的。
10．B 句意：如果正确使用，时间就是银行里的金钱。句子的主语time与句子状语中的动词use之间为被动关系，应使用过去分词作状语。A项作状语常表示目的或结果；B项为过去分词形式；C项为现在分词，作状语时，句子的主语应与动词use构成主动关系，不符合题意；D项是动词原形，无此种用法。
Ⅲ.1.D 细节理解题。文中第一段第一句说明伦敦塔建立的目的是为了更好地保护和控制伦敦城。所以正确答案为D。
2．D 细节理解题。文中第二段第一句讲到此塔开始常常被当作皇家宫殿，但到了James Ⅰ时，它却成为了监狱和行刑之地。所以答案为D。
3．B 推理判断题。由题干关键词Anne Boleyn锁定第二段“He wanted to get rid of her because she could not give him a son.”可知，Anne Boleyn未能生育，被判有罪，囚禁于此，后来被砍头。符合文意的只有B。
4．C 细节理解题。从第三段可看出Gloucester公爵花言巧语欺骗Edward及其兄弟，而后自立为王。
5．C 细节理解题。文中最后一段说到当Gloucester自称为王之后，Edward王子很少露面，最后消失。人们推测王子死于叔叔之手。故答案为C。It is believed that可看作固定句型，“人们相信……”。
【语篇解读】 作者通过一个九旬老人简单快乐的生活说明：快乐其实很简单，只需要你把每天都当作一个收到的礼物去珍惜。
6．A 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，琼斯先生虽然失明了，但他非常整洁。
7．D 推理判断题。根据第三段末句可知，琼斯先生说喜欢他的房间，而且像一个8岁小孩收到一只宠物狗一样兴奋。
8．B 代词指示题。根据前面一句的内容“我是否喜欢我的房间，不取决于家具如何摆放，而是取决于我自己怎么想”可知，此处指他已经决定喜欢那个房间了。
9．C 推理判断题。根据第五段后半部分可知，琼斯先生虽然身体不好，但他从不怨天尤人，而是把每天都当作一个收到的礼物。他有着积极乐观的人生态度。
10．A 标题归纳题。文章开头点出“礼物”这一主题，结尾的May each of our days continue to be a gift与第五段中老人所说的话Each day is a gift相呼应，A项准确地概括了文章主旨。
