When I was at the age of nine, my parents took us to the lake, 10 miles away, every day for a whole summer, me and my two brothers, Hap and Danny. To be honest, we were all a little too wild.
At that time, our car had only an outdated AM radio. A trip to the lake meant over an hour in the car, along with winding mountain roads where the AM radio could not pick up any signal. My parents must have figured out early that if they didn’t keep us three boys busy and focused, we would eventually start fighting just to have something to do. They made up various games. They told wonderful stories. He could even recite (背诵) “Casey at the Bat,” “The Raven,” “Dangerous Dan McGrew” or any of the other narrative poems at the drop of a hat.
One of the poems that fascinated me most was a bit of nonsense verse (打油诗) which I later found out was called “The Dying Fisherman’s Song.” It begins: “It was a summer’s day in winter / And the rain was snowing fast / As a barefoot girl with shoes on/ Stood sitting in the grass...” I was hooked. These lines in my head were kept repeating over and over, week after week, until they burned new electrical pathways in my brain.
I did what any 9-year-old poetry addict would do, given the circumstances: I read CRICKET magazine, hungrily. I was greatly influenced by their poems, and I am so thankful for what its publisher, Marianme Carus, did—creating such a prefect magazine for 9-year-olds. Yes, I fell in love with funny children’s poetry. It’s a love affair that continues to this day, 10 books related with poetry (of my own) later.
4. What can we say about the author’s parents
A. They were hard on their sons. B. They knew their children well.
C. They were famous game makers. D. They focused on adventure education.
5. What might the underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Shocked. B. Scared. C. Attracted. D. Confused.
6. What does the author think of CRICKET magazine
A. It made him a child poet. B. It was intended for young poets.
C. It had a significant impact on him. D. It was Marianme Carus’s first book.
7. Why does the author write this passage
A. To introduce a poetry addict. B. To show off his creation talent.
C. To recommend some funny poetry. D. To share his passion for poetry.
C
Exilien is a bayakou, the Haitian term for laborers who empty latrines (粪坑). I took his photo while he was cleaning out a toilet that served several families in Port-au-Prince. I’d been assigned to photograph a National Geographic story.
People dislike bayakou. Therefore, many bayakou operato at night and hide what they do—even from their families. Finding a bayakou who would agree to be photographed proved to be the most difficult part of this project. But after five months of trying, I connected with Exilien. He was eager for me to document his work because he rejects the idea that his profession is shameful. He is proud of what he does and wants to be respected.
I arranged to meet Exilien and his two colleagues late at night in a courtyard between several houses. My photo editor had been concerned about the conditions so I’d packed protective equipment: face mask and scarf (to block the smell) as well as rain coat (to protect my clothes). But when it came time to put it all on, I found I couldn’t do it. I didn’t want to make him feel like his job was extremely unpleasant. It’s his profession, something only a few people know how to do, and he does it well.
Most of the lights in the courtyard were out, and the families were asleep. The toilet in the our house hadn’t been emptied in more than a year. Exilien began his work by reaching into the hole to spoon out the freshest layer. His two partners skillfully pour the waste into what looked like old seed bags, tying them up perfectly without any leaks. They had more experience than Exilien and had graduated from cleaning the hole. In order to bear the smell and discomfort, the three men drank and smoked throughout the night.
Exilien wanted people to see what he does. No one wants to be invisible. That’s what I find so powerful about photography. When you take someone’s picture, you are telling them: Your life is important.
8. Why did Exilien agree to be photographed
A. He wanted to get famous. B. He hoped to be recognized.
C. He could gain some rewards. D. He felt ashamed of himself.
9. What did the author decide to do about his protective equipment
A. Stop using it. B. Take good advantage of it.
C. Keep it for next time. D. Donate it to the three men.
10. What can we infer about Exilien’s partners
A. They worked harder than before. B. They were addicted to alcohol.
C. They were more skillful than him. D. They just finished higher education.
11. What is the author’s final attitude towards a bayakou
A. Indifferent. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Respectful.
D
Twins may be more common today than at anytime in history. Researchers analyzed records from 165 countries and found a significant rise in twin birth rates since the 1980s, with one in 42 people now born a twin. According to the survey, the global twin birth rate has risen by one-third, on average, over the past 40 years.
“The trends are really quite striking,” said Christiaan Monden, a professor at Oxford University. “Over the past 40 years we’ve seen a strong increase in twinning rates in rich and developed countries. Globally, twinning rates have risen from nine to twelve per 1,000 births since the 1980s, but the picture varies from country to country. The greatest rises are seen in North America (71%), Europe (60%) and Asia (32%). In the UK, twinning rates rose about 62%. In the Oxford study, a decrease of more than 10% was found in only seven countries over the dates surveyed. “The absolute number of twin deliveries (分娩) has increased everywhere except South America,” Monden said. “In North America and Africa, the numbers have increased by more than 80%, and in Africa this increase is caused almost entirely by population growth.”
Raj Mathur, a doctor at St. Mary’s Hospital in Manchester, said, “It doesn’t surprise us that twinning rates have increased because the availability of assisted reproduction (生殖) has increased and also because women are slightly older when they have their first children, and both those things will increase the twinning rate.”
“The majority of twin babies are completely fine, but there is no doubt that a twin pregnancy (怀孕) carries greater risks for the mother and the baby. So when we can avoid it, we should avoid it. The principle we follow is simply summed up by the phrase ‘one at a time’,” Mathur said.
12. What do we know about the survey
A It saw a world population growth. B. It lasted nearly fifty years.
C. It was the first research about twins. D. It was based on plenty of data.
13. Where can we hardly find the twinning rates rise
A. South America. B. Asia. C. Europe. D. Africa.
14. What can we infer from Mathur’s words
A. It’s dangerous to be with child. B. It’s wise to bring up a single baby.
C It’s best to have one baby at a birth. D. It’s unavoidable to give birth to a twin.
15. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. The Principle of Delivering Babies
B. More Twin Babies Than Ever Before
C. No Doubt About the Present Twinning Rates
D. A Great Breakthrough in Human Reproduction

My Gift to Charlie
We moved to a new small town when I was six. Having moved to the United States from the Far East, I was not accepted by children (even children of my own community did not accept me as I had lighter skin than the others). School was spent walking the playground alone or sitting on the grass bank watching other boys play football. On bad days I would hide in the cloakroom (衣帽间) under the coats and remain there the whole day.
It was one day that I by chance met an old man named Charlie, who lived six houses away. I stood on the street side of the fence and watched as he busied himself in the garden. Charlie was a short quiet old man in his 60s He had a bald head with brown hair on the sides and a round rosy face. He always wore gold-colored glasses easily recognized his walk as he’d collect his morning paper and milk.
I did not speak to him for a long time but instead stood at the fence as he did his thing. He did not speak to me but waited patiently for me to break the silence when ready. This continued for months. After school and at weekends, I just stood and watched him. He would sometimes look up and show me the cause of his joys or pains; it might be a carrot, or a handful of weeds. After several months I found a biscuit placed on the fence post on a small blue plate. Later, weak orange cool drink was added to this when it was hot. Charlie started to speak to me and would share stories from his past as if I was his closest friend I offered very litle in return and absorbed all that he said. I was grateful for the time that I spent listening to him.

When I was at the age of nine, my parents took us to the lake, 10 miles away, every day for a whole summer, me and my two brothers, Hap and Danny. To be honest, we were all a little too wild.
At that time, our car had only an outdated AM radio. A trip to the lake meant over an hour in the car, along with winding mountain roads where the AM radio could not pick up any signal. My parents must have figured out early that if they didn’t keep us three boys busy and focused, we would eventually start fighting just to have something to do. They made up various games. They told wonderful stories. He could even recite (背诵) “Casey at the Bat,” “The Raven,” “Dangerous Dan McGrew” or any of the other narrative poems at the drop of a hat.
One of the poems that fascinated me most was a bit of nonsense verse (打油诗) which I later found out was called “The Dying Fisherman’s Song.” It begins: “It was a summer’s day in winter / And the rain was snowing fast / As a barefoot girl with shoes on/ Stood sitting in the grass...” I was hooked. These lines in my head were kept repeating over and over, week after week, until they burned new electrical pathways in my brain.
I did what any 9-year-old poetry addict would do, given the circumstances: I read CRICKET magazine, hungrily. I was greatly influenced by their poems, and I am so thankful for what its publisher, Marianme Carus, did—creating such a prefect magazine for 9-year-olds. Yes, I fell in love with funny children’s poetry. It’s a love affair that continues to this day, 10 books related with poetry (of my own) later.
4. What can we say about the author’s parents
A. They were hard on their sons. B. They knew their children well.
C. They were famous game makers. D. They focused on adventure education.
5. What might the underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 mean

6. What does the author think of CRICKET magazine

Exilien is a bayakou, the Haitian term for laborers who empty latrines (粪坑). I took his photo while he was cleaning out a toilet that served several families in Port-au-Prince. I’d been assigned to photograph a National Geographic story.
People dislike bayakou. Therefore, many bayakou operato at night and hide what they do—even from their families. Finding a bayakou who would agree to be photographed proved to be the most difficult part of this project. But after five months of trying, I connected with Exilien. He was eager for me to document his work because he rejects the idea that his profession is shameful. He is proud of what he does and wants to be respected.
I arranged to meet Exilien and his two colleagues late at night in a courtyard between several houses. My photo editor had been concerned about the conditions so I’d packed protective equipment: face mask and scarf (to block the smell) as well as rain coat (to protect my clothes). But when it came time to put it all on I found I couldn’t do it. I didn’t want to make him feel like his job was extremely unpleasant. It’s his profession, something only a few people know how to do, and he does it well.
Most of the lights in the courtyard were out, and the families were asleep. The toilet in the our house hadn’t been emptied in more than a year. Exilien began his work by reaching into the hole to spoon out the freshest layer. His two partners skillfully pour the waste into what looked like old seed bags, tying them up perfectly without any leaks. They had more experience than Exilien and had graduated from cleaning the hole. In order to bear the smell and discomfort, the three men drank and smoked throughout the night.
Exilien wanted people to see what he does. No one wants to be invisible. That’s what I find so powerful about photography. When you take someone’s picture, you are telling them: Your life is important.
8. Why did Exilien agree to be photographed
A. He wanted to get famous. B. He hoped to be recognized.
C. He could gain some rewards. D. He felt ashamed of himself.
9 What did the author decide to do about his protective equipment
A. Stop using it. B. Take good advantage of it.
C. Keep it for next time. D. Donate it to the three men.
10. What can we infer about Exilien’s partners
A. They worked harder than before. B. They were addicted to alcohol.
C. They were more skillful than him. D. They just finished higher education.
11. What is the author’s final attitude towards a bayakou
A. Indifferent. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Respectful.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But after five months of trying, I connected with Exilien. He was eager for me to document his work because he rejects the idea that his profession is shameful. He is proud of what he does and wants to be respected.(但经过五个月的努力，我联系上了Exilien。他很想让我记录下他的工作，因为他不认为他的职业是可耻的。他为自己的所作所为感到骄傲，希望得到尊重)”可知，Exilien同意拍照是因为他希望被认可。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But when it came time to put it all on, I found I couldn’t do it. I didn’t want to make him feel like his job was extremely unpleasant. It’s his profession, something only a few people know how to do, and he does it well.(但是当我要穿上它的时候，我发现我做不到。我不想让他觉得他的工作非常不愉快。这是他的职业，只有少数人知道怎么做，他做得很好)”可知，作者决定停止使用他的防护装备。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“His two partners skillfully pour the waste into what looked like old seed bags, tying them up perfectly without any leaks. They had more experience than Exilien and had graduated from cleaning the hole.(他的两个伙伴熟练地把废物倒进一个看起来像旧种子袋的东西里，把它们完美地绑起来，没有任何泄漏。他们比Exilien更有经验，就像是从清理洞中毕业的)”可推知，Exilien的伙伴比他更熟练。故选C。
11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Exilien wanted people to see what he does. No one wants to be invisible. That’s what I find so powerful about photography. When you take someone’s picture, you are telling them: Your life is important.(Exilien想让人们看到他的所作所为。没有人想隐形。这就是我发现摄影如此强大的原因。当你给别人拍照时，你是在告诉他们：你的生命很重要)”可推知，作者对bayakou的最终态度是尊重的。故选D。
D
Twins may be more common today than at anytime in history. Researchers analyzed records from 165 countries and found a significant rise in twin birth rates since the 1980s, with one in 42 people now born a twin. According to the survey, the global twin birth rate has risen by one-third, on average, over the past 40 years.
“The trends are really quite striking,” said Christiaan Monden, a professor at Oxford University. “Over the past 40 years we’ve seen a strong increase in twinning rates in rich and developed countries. Globally, twinning rates have risen from nine to twelve per 1,000 births since the 1980s, but the picture varies from country to country. The greatest rises are seen in North America (71%), Europe (60%) and Asia (32%). In the UK, twinning rates rose about 62%. In the Oxford study, a decrease of more than 10% was found in only seven countries over the dates surveyed. “The absolute number of twin deliveries (分娩) has increased everywhere except South America,” Monden said. “In North America and Africa, the numbers have increased by more than 80%, and in Africa this increase is caused almost entirely by population growth.”
Raj Mathur, a doctor at St. Mary’s Hospital in Manchester, said, “It doesn’t surprise us that twinning rates have increased because the availability of assisted reproduction (生殖) has increased and also because women are slightly older when they have their first children, and both those things will increase the twinning rate.”
“The majority of twin babies are completely fine, but there is no doubt that a twin pregnancy (怀孕) carries greater risks for the mother and the baby. So when we can avoid it, we should avoid it. The principle we follow is simply summed up by the phrase ‘one at a time’,” Mathur said.
12. What do we know about the survey
A. It saw a world population growth. B. It lasted nearly fifty years.
C. It was the first research about twins. D. It was based on plenty of data.
13. Where can we hardly find the twinning rates rise
A. South America. B. Asia. C. Europe. D. Africa.
14. What can we infer from Mathur’s words
A. It’s dangerous to be with child. B. It’s wise to bring up a single baby.
C. It’s best to have one baby at a birth. D. It’s unavoidable to give birth to a twin.
15. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. The Principle of Delivering Babies
B. More Twin Babies Than Ever Before
C. No Doubt About the Present Twinning Rates
D. A Great Breakthrough in Human Reproduction
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是研究发现双胞胎在现代比历史上任何时候更为常见。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Researchers analyzed records from 165 countries and found a significant rise in twin birth rates since the 1980s, with one in 42 people now born a twin. (研究人员分析了165个国家的记录，发现自20世纪80年代以来，双胞胎出生率显著上升，现在每42个人中就有一个是双胞胎。)”可知，该研究分析了来自于165个国家的记录，由此可知，该项研究是基于大量的数据。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的““The absolute number of twin deliveries (分娩) has increased everywhere except South America,” Monden said.( Monden说：“除了南美以外，世界各地的双胞胎分娩绝对数量都在增加。”)”可知，除了南美之外，世界各地的双胞胎数量在增加，由此可知，南美的双胞胎数量几乎没有增长。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的““The majority of twin babies are completely fine, but there is no doubt that a twin pregnancy (怀孕) carries greater risks for the mother and the baby. So when we can avoid it, we should avoid it. The principle we follow is simply summed up by the phrase ‘one at a time’,” Mathur said.(“大多数双胞胎宝宝都很好，但毫无疑问，双胎妊娠对母亲和婴儿都有更大的风险。所以当我们可以避免它的时候，我们应该避免它。我们遵循的原则简单地用‘一次一个’来概括，” Mathur说。)”可知，Mathur认为，双胎妊娠对母亲和婴儿有更大的风险，建议“一次一个”，由此可知，从Mathur的话中可推断他建议一次生一个孩子。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Researchers analyzed records from 165 countries and found a significant rise in twin birth rates since the 1980s, with one in 42 people now born a twin.(研究人员分析了165个国家的记录，发现自20世纪80年代以来，双胞胎出生率显著上升，现在每42个人中就有一个是双胞胎。)”以及下文对该项研究中数据的分析可知，文章主要介绍新的研究发现，双胞胎在现代比历史上任何时候更为常见。故选B项

My Gift to Charlie
We moved to a new small town when I was six. Having moved to the United States from the Far East, I was not accepted by children (even children of my own community did not accept me as I had lighter skin than the others). School was spent walking the playground alone or sitting on the grass bank watching other boys play football. On bad days I would hide in the cloakroom (衣帽间) under the coats and remain there the whole day.
It was one day that I by chance met an old man named Charlie, who lived six houses away. I stood on the street side of the fence and watched as he busied himself in the garden. Charlie was a short quiet old man in his 60s He had a bald head with brown hair on the sides and a round rosy face. He always wore gold-colored glasses easily recognized his walk as he’d collect his morning paper and milk.
I did not speak to him for a long time but instead stood at the fence as he did his thing. He did not speak to me, but waited patiently for me to break the silence when ready. This continued for months. After school and at weekends, I just stood and watched him. He would sometimes look up and show me the cause of his joys or pains; it might be a carrot, or a handful of weeds. After several months I found a biscuit placed on the fence post on a small blue plate. Later, weak orange cool drink was added to this when it was hot. Charlie started to speak to me and would share stories from his past as if I was his closest friend I offered very litle in return and absorbed all that he said. I was grateful for the time that I spent listening to him.

Paragraph 1
Four years later I left the small town, but our last chat at his house and his gift for me always remain in my mind.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
Fortunately, when I was 15, I came across Charlie’s wife, Mary, who told me something about him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Four years later I left the small town, but our last chat at his house and his gift for me always remain in my mind. When I was 11, we left, and the last time we talked, he went into his room, and he came out with an old watch. He gave me the watch as a gift and said he didn’t want me to leave, and we hit it off. I'm his closest friend. I don't want to part with him. It was the old man who gave me encouragement and comfort during my most difficult time and made me go through the most difficult time. He's the person I respect the most in a foreign country. I’ll see him again.
Fortunately, when I was 15, I came across Charlie’s wife, Mary, who told me something about him. I was sad to hear Charlie’s passing. I learnt that he often spoke thankfully of those years when the small Asian boy would just stand and watch. I thought I got everything from that friendship but returned nothing of any value; Mary disagreed. She told me that I gave the greatest thing that I could to Charlie, which was my time, and that was why he gave me his watch.
