By any standard, Dr. Seuss’ Oh, The Places You’ll Go! is a great book. And Martin is hardly the first parent to buy the book for his graduating high-school. But Martin did something special—he added to the book’s pages 13 years’ worth of hand—written teachers’ comments and impressions about his daughter, Brenna.
When Martin first told Brenna, 18, that he had a present for her, Brenna thought she was getting some graduation card. But then she opened the book and realized that it was filled with personal memories. “Every year, for the past 13 years, since the day you started kindergarten（幼儿园） I’ve gotten every teacher to write something about you inside this book,” he told her. Brenna’s eyes filled with hot tears.
She described her happiness at her graduation gift online, “He managed to keep this book a secret for 13 years, and surely everyone else in my life knew about it! I was moved to tears. Sitting there reading through this book there are encouraging and sweet words from every teacher I love and remember through my years in this small town. My early teachers mention my ‘laughs’ while my high school teachers mention my ‘intelligence’. But they all mention my humor and love for life. It is astounding to receive something this touching and thoughtful. I can’t express how much I love my Dad for this labor of love”
Millions of people have checked out Brenna’s Internet message on her father’s gift which has been considered “unbelievable” and the “best graduation gift ever”. It sure beats a bunch of roses.
4. What did Brenna find after opening the book
A. An unusual graduation card. B. A picture of beautiful roses.
C. Her teachers’ words about her. D. Her parents’ personal memories.
5. What do we know about Brenna
A. She lives in a large city. B. She’s a humorous person.
C. She loves Dr. Seuss’ books best. D. She is now studying at high school.

C. A great book by Dr. Seuss. D. Dad’s secret graduation gift.

Irina Kolesnikova has a wealth of credits on her dance card, but the prima ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员) has made her career from one particular role of a lifetime.
That would be the famous yin and yang characters of Odette and Odile in Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, which has become her personal trademark since the age of 21. Her performance as the Swan Queen is regarded as a standout for a ballet that has been redone countless times on the stage and silver screen for nearly 150 years. After her debut at the London Coliseum, The Telegraph described Kolesnikova’s performance of Odette as “truly a thing of remarkable beauty.” Kolesnikova just made her U.S. debut and took the time to speak with Fortune.
Fortune: What inspired you to go into ballet
Kolesnikova: When I was 5, I saw a ballet, The Sleeping Beauty, on TV, and I was so impressed by what I’d seen. That’s when I decided to be a ballet dancer.
Fortune: Playing the twin roles of Odette and Odile has become a bit of a trademark for you. What attracted you in Swan Lake Are you looking forward to trying new projects
Kolesnikova: First of all, in my repertoire (全部节目) of classical ballet, there is not only Swan Lake, but also The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, and also my favorite: La Bayadere. In regards to Swan Lake, I really love this ballet as I have a chance to show two opposite characters during one show. In terms of new projects, I would like to dance Anna Karenina, Manon, and Tatiana from Evgeny Onegin.
Fortune: What is your long-term plan for your career How do you prepare for life after dancing professionally
Kolesnikova: At present, I am not thinking about finishing my career. However, last year I graduated from Vaganova Academy with a coaching diploma—even though I already have the experience of coaching and preparing two other ballerinas for the roles of Odette and Odile.
8. How did The Telegraph think of Irina Kolesnikova’s performance
A. Too terrible. B. Very fantastic. C. Unsatisfactory. D. Not mentioned.
9. What made Irina Kolesnikova decide to be a ballerina
A. The charm of a ballet.
B. The love for Swan Lake.
C. The influence of her parents.
D. The admiration to ballerinas.
10. What can we learn about Irina Kolesnikova
A. She is inclined to end her career after years.
B. She plays a role in Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake.
C. She likes Swan Lake best among all ballets.
D. She looks forward to playing a role in Evgeny Onegin.
11. What is the most likely job for Irina Kolesnikova in the future
A. A ballet coach. B. A ballet director.
C. An academy teacher. D. A reporter of Fortune.
D
What is technology doing to language Many assume the answer is simple: ruining it. Kids can no longer write except in text-speak. Grammar is going to the dogs. The ability to compose thoughts longer than a post is disappearing. Language experts tend to resist it, noting that there is little proof that speech is really worsening, nor is formal writing falling apart. A study by Cambridge Assessment found almost no evidence for text-speak in students’ writing.
Fortunately, the story of language and the Internet has attracted more serious analysts, too. Now Gretchen MeCulloch, a journalist of the generation that grew up with the Internet, joins them with a new book, Because Internet, which focuses on what can be learned about language from the Internet. Biologists grow bacteria in a Petri dish partly because they are born and reproduce (繁殖) so quickly that studies over many generations can be done in a reasonably short period. Studying language online is a bit like that: trends appear and disappear, platforms rise and fall, and these let linguists observe changes that would otherwise take too much time.
For example, why do languages change A thousand years ago, early English and Icelandic were closely related. English has since developed hugely, and Icelandic far less. Linguists have studied the relative effects of strong and weak ties (friends, family) in such patterns, concluding that small communities would host more stable languages. The Intemet combines strong and weak ties-and sure enough, drives more language change.
In the end, Ms McCulloch’s book is about the birth of a new medium rather than a new language. Mass reading has now been joined by mass writing: frequent, error-filled and quick-fading. Little surprise that Internet users have created tools to give their writing the gesture, playfulness and even meaninglessness of chat. Mistaking it for the downfall of “real” writing is a category error. Anything that helps people enjoy each other’s company can only be a good thing.
12. Why are bacteria in a Petri dish mentioned in Paragraph 2
A To explain bacteria have a short lifetime.
B. To stress the difficulty of researching language online.
C. To reveal the relation between language and the Internet.
D. To show online language can be studied in limited time.
13. What contributes to the fast development of English
A. A large English-speaking population. B. The lasting effect of mass media.
C. A stable language-using community. D. The wide application of the Internet.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to online language
A. Ambiguous. B. Positive. C. Objective. D. Cautious.
15. In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage
A. History. B. Culture. C. Sports. D. Life.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Today's test score will decide who has topped the class, so be ready,” announced Miss Natasha in the classroom.
Miss Natasha got everyone's test papers, cleared her throat to announce the results and distributed the test papers among the students. Everyone was nervous about their scores that would be announced soon.
Ali and Bob have been competitors since class one and each year either one of the two came first in the class. This year, there was tough competition between both of them, and they eagerly awaited the results.
“Peter, 18,”announced Miss Natasha as she handed him his paper,“Eric, 16, Ali, 20, Bob, 19 ... and lastly Alia, 15.”
When Miss Natasha had distributed the test papers in class, everyone found out that Ali beat Bob by one mark and topped the class. Everyone congratulated him and Ali was happy as he accepted everyone's congratulations.
As Ali was about to put his paper in his bag, he noticed that by mistake Miss Natasha had given him two marks for an incorrect answer. He was shocked. He rechecked his answers and realized that all his answers were correct except for that one. Now if he informed Miss Natasha about it, he would not only lose two marks but also his first position.
Considering the situation, he remained quiet and went home. But all day he kept thinking about it. Should he or shouldn't he tell Miss Natasha about it He thought that it had been already done, and no one would notice if he didn't tell anyone, but then another thought crossed his mind. If he didn't tell the teacher about it and stayed the position-holder in class, he wouldn't rightfully take the position as it clearly belonged to Bob.
This situation put Ali in a hard position. His parents always taught him to do the right thing, but doing the right thing here meant he would lose his first position. He remembered how everyone cheered for him and congratulated him in class.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
He knew that by informing the teacher about it, he would lose it all.

By any standard, Dr. Seuss’ Oh, The Places You’ll Go! is a great book. And Martin is hardly the first parent to buy the book for his graduating high-school. But Martin did something special—he added to the book’s pages 13 years’ worth of hand—written teachers’ comments and impressions about his daughter, Brenna.
When Martin first told Brenna, 18, that he had a present for her, Brenna thought she was getting some graduation card. But then she opened the book and realized that it was filled with personal memories. “Every year, for the past 13 years, since the day you started kindergarten（幼儿园） I’ve gotten every teacher to write something about you inside this book,” he told her. Brenna’s eyes filled with hot tears.
She described her happiness at her graduation gift online, “He managed to keep this book a secret for 13 years, and surely everyone else in my life knew about it! I was moved to tears. Sitting there reading through this book there are encouraging and sweet words from every teacher I love and remember through my years in this small town. My early teachers mention my ‘laughs’ while my high school teachers mention my ‘intelligence’. But they all mention my humor and love for life. It is astounding to receive something this touching and thoughtful. I can’t express how much I love my Dad for this labor of love”
Millions of people have checked out Brenna’s Internet message on her father’s gift, which has been considered “unbelievable” and the “best graduation gift ever”. It sure beats a bunch of roses.
4. What did Brenna find after opening the book

5. What do we know about Brenna

Irina Kolesnikova has a wealth of credits on her dance card, but the prima ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员) has made her career from one particular role of a lifetime.
That would be the famous yin and yang characters of Odette and Odile in Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, which has become her personal trademark since the age of 21. Her performance as the Swan Queen is regarded as a standout for a ballet that has been redone countless times on the stage and silver screen for nearly 150 years. After her debut at the London Coliseum, The Telegraph described Kolesnikova’s performance of Odette as “truly a thing of remarkable beauty.” Kolesnikova just made her U.S. debut and took the time to speak with Fortune.
Fortune: What inspired you to go into ballet
Kolesnikova: When I was 5, I saw a ballet, The Sleeping Beauty, on TV, and I was so impressed by what I’d seen. That’s when I decided to be a ballet dancer.
Fortune: Playing the twin roles of Odette and Odile has become a bit of a trademark for you. What attracted you in Swan Lake Are you looking forward to trying new projects
Kolesnikova: First of all, in my repertoire (全部节目) of classical ballet, there is not only Swan Lake, but also The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, and also my favorite: La Bayadere. In regards to Swan Lake, I really love this ballet as I have a chance to show two opposite characters during one show. In terms of new projects, I would like to dance Anna Karenina, Manon, and Tatiana from Evgeny Onegin.
Fortune: What is your long-term plan for your career How do you prepare for life after dancing professionally
Kolesnikova: At present, I am not thinking about finishing my career. However, last year I graduated from Vaganova Academy with a coaching diploma—even though I already have the experience of coaching and preparing two other ballerinas for the roles of Odette and Odile.
8. How did The Telegraph think of Irina Kolesnikova’s performance
A. Too terrible. B. Very fantastic. C. Unsatisfactory. D. Not mentioned.
9. What made Irina Kolesnikova decide to be a ballerina
A. The charm of a ballet.
B. The love for Swan Lake.
C. The influence of her parents.
D. The admiration to ballerinas.

C. She likes Swan Lake best among all ballets.
D. She looks forward to playing a role in Evgeny Onegin.
11. What is the most likely job for Irina Kolesnikova in the future
A. A ballet coach. B. A ballet director.

【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中Kolesnikova的话“When I was 5, I saw a ballet, The Sleeping Beauty, on TV, and I was so impressed by what I’d seen. That’s when I decided to be a ballet dancer.”（当我5岁的时候，我在电视上看到了芭蕾舞《睡美人》，我对所看到的表演印象深刻。就在那时，我决定成为一名芭蕾舞演员。）可知，Kolesnikova是在看完芭蕾舞《睡美人》后，对芭蕾舞表演着迷，才决定成为一名芭蕾舞演员的，由此可知，是芭蕾舞的魅力让Kolesnikova决定成为一名芭蕾舞演员。故选A项。

What is technology doing to language Many assume the answer is simple: ruining it. Kids can no longer write except in text-speak. Grammar is going to the dogs. The ability to compose thoughts longer than a post is disappearing. Language experts tend to resist it, noting that there is little proof that speech is really worsening, nor is formal writing falling apart. A study by Cambridge Assessment found almost no evidence for text-speak in students’ writing.
Fortunately, the story of language and the Internet has attracted more serious analysts, too. Now Gretchen MeCulloch, a journalist of the generation that grew up with the Internet, joins them with a new book, Because Internet, which focuses on what can be learned about language from the Internet. Biologists grow bacteria in a Petri dish partly because they are born and reproduce (繁殖) so quickly that studies over many generations can be done in a reasonably short period. Studying language online is a bit like that: trends appear and disappear, platforms rise and fall, and these let linguists observe changes that would otherwise take too much time.
For example, why do languages change A thousand years ago, early English and Icelandic were closely related. English has since developed hugely, and Icelandic far less. Linguists have studied the relative effects of strong and weak ties (friends, family) in such patterns, concluding that small communities would host more stable languages. The Intemet combines strong and weak ties-and sure enough, drives more language change.
In the end, Ms McCulloch’s book is about the birth of a new medium rather than a new language. Mass reading has now been joined by mass writing: frequent, error-filled and quick-fading. Little surprise that Internet users have created tools to give their writing the gesture, playfulness and even meaninglessness of chat. Mistaking it for the downfall of “real” writing is a category error. Anything that helps people enjoy each other’s company can only be a good thing.
12. Why are bacteria in a Petri dish mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To explain bacteria have a short lifetime.
B To stress the difficulty of researching language online.
C. To reveal the relation between language and the Internet.
D. To show online language can be studied in limited time.
13. What contributes to the fast development of English
A. A large English-speaking population. B. The lasting effect of mass media.
C. A stable language-using community. D. The wide application of the Internet.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to online language
A. Ambiguous. B. Positive. C. Objective. D. Cautious.
15. In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage
A. History. B. Culture. C. Sports. D. Life.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。有人认为科技正在摧毁语言，导致人们的语言能力退化，但语言学家抵制这种说法，他们指出几乎没有证据表明语言真的在退化。文章说明了网络语言的特点以及语言变化的原因。作者认为不能把网络用语归结为“真正”写作水准下降的原因，任何有助于人们享受彼此陪伴的事情都是件好事。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Biologists grow bacteria in a Petri dish partly because they are born and reproduce so quickly that studies over many generations can be done in a reasonably short period. Studying language online is a bit like that: trends appear and disappear, platforms rise and fall, and these let linguists observe changes that would otherwise take too much time. (生物学家在皮氏培养皿中培养细菌，部分原因是它们出生和繁殖的速度非常快，因此在相当短的时间内就可以完成多代的研究。研究网络语言与之有点类似：趋势的出现和消失，平台的起落，这让语言学家们能够观察到那些原本需要花太多时间才能看到的变化)”可推知，第二段提到皮氏培养皿中的细菌，是为了表明人们可以在有限的时间内研究网络语言。故选D。
13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Linguists have studied the relative effects of strong and weak ties ( friends, family) in such patterns，concluding that small communities would host more stable languages. (语言学家研究了这种模式下强联系和如朋友和家庭等弱联系的相对影响，得出的结论是，较小的社区会拥有更稳定的语言)”可推知，小型社会的语言更稳定，即讲一种语言的人越少，这门语言就越稳定。故是大量说英语的人促进了英语的巨大发展。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Mistaking it for the downfall of “real” writing is a category error. Anything that helps people enjoy each other’s company can only be a good thing.(不能把网络用语归结为“真正”写作水准下降的原因，任何有助于人们享受彼此陪伴的事情都是件好事)”由此推断作者对网络语言持积极的态度。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要说明了网络语言的特点及语言变化的原因。语言属于文化的一部分，因此你可以在报纸的“Culture”部分读到。故选B。

考查冠词。句意：50年前，中国成功发射了第一颗卫星“东方红1号”，开启了太空探索的新篇章。分析句子可知，句中chapter泛指一个新篇章，故空格处应用不定冠词，“new”单词音标的第一个音素为辅音音素，故应用不定冠词“a”。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了纪念其50周年，中国国家航天局于4月24日宣布了该国火星行星探测计划的名称。根据句意可知，句中“为了纪念其50周年”是“宣布火星行星探测计划的名称”的目的，故应用不定式作目的状语，句首单词首字母大写。故填To mark。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“天问”的名字来源于战国时期著名诗人屈原的一首长诗《天问》。分析句子可知，句中有谓语动词“got”且句中无连词，故空格处应用非谓语动词，“Tianwen”与“write”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用“write”的过去分词“written”，作后置定语。故填written。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：在这首诗中，屈原提出了一系列关于天空、星星、自然现象、神话和现实世界的问题，反映了他对传统观念的怀疑和对真理的追求。根据句意可知，屈原提出的问题是“关于”天空、星星、自然现象、神话和现实世界的，故空格处应用“concerning”，意为“关于”，介词词性。故填concerning。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意：在这首诗中，屈原提出了一系列关于天空、星星、自然现象、神话和现实世界的问题，反映了他对传统观念的怀疑和对真理的追求。根据句意可知，句中“his doubts on traditional ideas”和“his pursuit (追求) of truth”之间为并列关系，故应用连词“and”，表示并列。故填and。
【41题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，中国在太空探索方面取得了显著的进展。根据句意和句中“So far”可知，句中应用现在完成时表示动作开始于过去并持续到现在，句子主语“China”是第三人称单数，与“has”连用，“make”的过去分词为“made”。故填has made。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意：1970年，中国发射了第一颗人造地球卫星，成为世界上第五个独立发射人造卫星的国家。修饰后文名词satellite应用形容词性物主代词its。故填its。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：1970年，中国发射了第一颗人造地球卫星，成为世界上第五个独立发射人造卫星的国家。句中“launch”意为“发射”，动词词性，应用副词independently修饰。故填independently。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这一次，“天问”系列将执行第一次火星探测任务，这是中国探索外太空的一个里程碑。根据句意和句子结构可知，句子为非限制性定语从句，先行词为“天问系列将执行第一次火星探测任务”这件事，从句中作主语，故应用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：这个名字深深植根于中国传统文化，天问展现了中国人民走向更大空间的决心和毅力。此处与and后的perseverance是并列成分，应使用名词作宾语，determination“决心”是不可数名词。故填determination。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Today's test score will decide who has topped the class, so be ready,” announced Miss Natasha in the classroom.
Miss Natasha got everyone's test papers, cleared her throat to announce the results and distributed the test papers among the students. Everyone was nervous about their scores that would be announced soon.
Ali and Bob have been competitors since class one and each year either one of the two came first in the class. This year, there was tough competition between both of them, and they eagerly awaited the results.
“Peter 18,”announced Miss Natasha as she handed him his paper,“Eric, 16, Ali, 20, Bob, 19 ... and lastly Alia, 15.”
When Miss Natasha had distributed the test papers in class, everyone found out that Ali beat Bob by one mark and topped the class. Everyone congratulated him and Ali was happy as he accepted everyone's congratulations.
As Ali was about to put his paper in his bag, he noticed that by mistake Miss Natasha had given him two marks for an incorrect answer. He was shocked. He rechecked his answers and realized that all his answers were correct except for that one. Now if he informed Miss Natasha about it, he would not only lose two marks but also his first position.
Considering the situation, he remained quiet and went home. But all day he kept thinking about it. Should he or shouldn't he tell Miss Natasha about it He thought that it had been already done, and no one would notice if he didn't tell anyone, but then another thought crossed his mind. If he didn't tell the teacher about it and stayed the position-holder in class, he wouldn't rightfully take the position as it clearly belonged to Bob.
This situation put Ali in a hard position. His parents always taught him to do the right thing, but doing the right thing here meant he would lose his first position. He remembered how everyone cheered for him and congratulated him in class.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
He knew that by informing the teacher about it, he would lose it all.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“My son, you are a brave and honest boy so just do what you think is right,”his mum continued.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 He knew that by informing the teacher about it, he would lose it all. As he fought with his thoughts, his mum asked him,“What's the matter ”“Mum, what if doing the right thing would mean you would lose something ”he asked in reply.“Son, if it is the right thing to do, then I am sure you will be rewarded for it. A wrong thing may seem attractive at first, but if it is wrong, it will hurt us someday,” his mum said.
“My son, you are a brave and honest boy so just do what you think is right,”his mum continued. The next day in class, Miss Natasha announced,“Today Ali has done what only a few of us would have the courage to do. He came to me and told me that I had mistakenly given him two marks and he was right about it, so the first position goes to Bob, not Ali.” Everyone, even Bob, was surprised by this development. After the class, Bob asked Ali,“Why did you do that ”Ali simply replied,“Because it was the right thing to do.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ali和Bob一直是竞争对手，这一次Ali以一分的优势胜过了Bob，成为班上第一。但Ali在收拾卷子时却发现Natasha小姐改错了一个题，Ali如果把这件事告诉Natasha小姐，他不仅会失去两分，而且还会失去第一名的位置，Ali犹豫不决。最后在妈妈的建议下，Ali第二天还是告诉了Natasha小姐分数改错了的事情，将第一的位置让给了Bob。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他知道如果把这件事告诉老师，他就会失去一切。”可知，第一段可描写Ali和妈妈的对话，妈妈告诉Ali要相信做正确的事情会得到回报，一件错误的事情一开始可能看起来很吸引人，但如果它是错误的，有一天它会伤害我们。
②由第二段首句内容“‘我的儿子，你是一个勇敢而诚实的孩子，所以就去做你认为对的事。’他的妈妈继续说。”可知，第二段可描写Natasha小姐在班上宣布了Ali告诉她分数改错的事情，把第一名让给了Bob。
2.续写线索：Ali思想斗争——妈妈讲道理——妈妈鼓励做正确的事情——Ali说出真相——第一名让给了Bob
