M: Well, it’s a traditional summer day camp and a leader in early childhood programs. It’s conveniently located to all areas of Lower Westchester.
W: So what can kids do in the camp
M: It can help them make new friends and learn life skills. (12)Teachers and coaches help campers learn and enhance social, athletic and cultural skills every minute of every day. The pools, fields and courts provide the perfect space for campers to participate in over 50 developmentally appropriate, fun-filled activities.
W: That sounds not bad. Who can go to the camp

M: OK. (14)The tiger was just three months old then when I met it for the first time. Its owner asked me to watch over it. Since then the tiger and I have become inseparable.
W: Sounds interesting. Do you often play with the tiger
M: Yes. It’s not aggressive or angry at all, however, heavy steel bars are installed for it. It sleeps in an enclosure at night and sometimes I spend my nights there with it, sleeping right next to it.
W: Is the tiger big
M: Yes. (15)The average weight of the common females of this species is 140 kilograms, but it is 40 kilograms overweight.
W: That’s quite a lot, even for tigers. How long is it
M: Three meters, and its height is one meter.
W: So how often does it eat
M: (16)It eats twice a day. The menu includes about 6 kilograms of meat of different varieties each meal.
W: Well, such a striking friendship between a young guy and a fairly young animal is really fantastic. (17)Thank you again for sharing your story with us tonight, Mr.Shole. And that’s all for today’s show.
Text 10为国际生制定的健康保险计划
M: (18)Most universities and colleges in the United States have a health insurance plan for international students. It generally costs around$300 a year now. You may think it is a waste of money, but if you have even a small medical problem, the insurance will help you to pay the bills. So, you should buy a medical insurance when you arrive at the university. I am sure the International Students Office will help you with that. (19)Private doctors are the standard form of the medical care in America, but there are also college clinics, public and private clinics, etc. The quality of medical care can be different in these different places, so it would be better if you ask an American friend for advice before going to see a doctor. Before you leave China, I suggest you have a medical examination. If there is something wrong, you can have it cured in your own country. (20)Don’t forget to take your personal and family health records abroad with you. They provide important and useful information if you need to go to the hospital. But remember to take good care of yourself. Don’t work too hard.

【24题详解】
词义猜测题。根据首段末句“All day the rain beat against the roof of our cabin. (雨一整天打在我们小屋的屋顶上。)”以及第二段末句“I paced the room, occasionally glancing toward Father to see if there was any sign that the rain would let up. (我在房间里踱来踱去，偶尔朝父亲方向看一眼，看看雨有没有______的迹象。)”可知，一整天都在下雨，作者看望外面，应是看看有没有雨停的迹象。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句“This trip meant a lot to him. He used to come out here with own father. (这次旅行对他意义重大。他以前常和自己的父亲来这里。)”可知，钓鱼之旅对作者的父亲很重要的原因是他和他的父亲经常去那里钓鱼。故选C。
26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““I wish we’d never come out to this boring place,” Jeremy said.(“我希望我们永远不要来这个无聊的地方，”杰里米说。)”以及第六段““I mean, if we’d stayed home, at least I could watch TV, go out with my friends or play my guitar,” Jeremy continued.(“我的意思是，如果我们呆在家里，至少我可以看电视，和朋友出去玩，或者弹吉他，”杰里米继续说。 )”可知， 杰里米对钓鱼之旅一点兴趣都没有。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段“It was not turning out to be the great fishing trip we had imagined. It certainly was not the one Father had promised. All day the rain beat against the roof of our cabin. (结果并不是我们想象中的钓鱼之旅。这肯定不是爸爸承诺的。雨整天打在我们小屋的屋顶上。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了描述雨天的钓鱼之旅。故选B。
C
【导语】本文为说明文。文章介绍了全世界使用的语言总数中至少有 43% 面临灭绝的危险，到本世纪末，世界上至少有一半的语言会消亡。科学家认为，数字化可能是我们在网络世界中保留其中一些迅速消失的语言的唯一希望。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段前两句“According to the statistics shared by UNESCO, at least 43% of the total languages being spoken across the world are in danger of extinction. Moreover, many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now. (根据联合国教科文组织分享的统计数据，全世界使用的语言中至少有43%面临灭绝的危险。此外，现在世界上许多语言的使用者不到1000人)”可知，43% 的语言面临灭绝，一些语言的使用者人数甚至不超过1000人，这些数字是说明很多语言濒临灭绝。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“For example, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago, advocating “digitally underrepresented” languages. They are focused on promoting languages that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, but have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them. (例如，牛津大学出版社几年前推出了牛津全球语言，倡导“数字代表性不足”的语言。他们专注于推广可能在全球有近一百万使用者的语言，但很少或根本没有在线存在。因此，他们一直在创建数字词典作为帮助保存它们的基本构建块)”可知，Oxford Global Languages 在创建数字词典，努力以数字的形式保存一些语言的基本构建块。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“There have been countless other projects like this with the same aim. Another is the Rosetta Project,which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will come with around 13,000 pages of information.Projects like these have as their main goals to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died.(有无数其他类似的项目具有相同的目标。另一个是罗塞塔项目，该项目旨在创建一个手持式数字图书馆，将承载1500多种语言。它的大小将适当，以适合我们的手，并将提供大约13000页的信息。像这样的项目的主要目标是确保在当地语言使用者去世后很长一段时间内得到保护)”可知， Rosetta Project项目的目标是确保当地的语言在使用者在去世之后很长一段时间后可以得到保护，即它保护了语言的多样性。故选C项。
【31题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文第四段最后一句“Projects like these have as their main goals to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died.(像这样的项目的主要目标是确保在当地语言使用者去世后很长一段时间内得到保护)”和下文最后一段第二句“Of course, we cannot only rely on digitization to deal with worldwide languages loss.(当然，我们不能仅仅依靠数字化来应对全球语言的流失) ”可知，此处指的是语言使用者逝世之后，语言就会消失，而科学家们现在在用数字化保护这些语言，确保在语言使用者逝世后语言依然可以得到保护，故推测perish是“消失”的意思。故选B项。
D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们拖延与设定截止日期的时间长短有关。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research. (Stephen Knowles教授在他们的研究中测试了截止日期长度对任务完成的影响)”可推断，Stephen Knowles教授做这项研究是为了研究设定截止日期对拖延这一行为的影响。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. (没有截止日期和一周的截止日期导致了许多早期的回复，而较长的截止日期似乎允许人们拖延，然后忘记)”可知，设定很长的截止日期最有可能导致拖延。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline.( Knowles教授毫不惊讶地发现，与较长的截止日期相比，指定较短的截止日期会增加收到回复的机会)”可推断，Knowles教授对这项研究结果的态度是不惊讶的。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，再根据文章第一段“They say procrastination is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. (人们说拖延是时间的小偷——实际上截止日期才是罪魁祸首)”以及第三段“specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. (与较长的截止日期相比，指定较短的截止日期可以增加收到回复的机会)”可知，文章主要介绍了设定截止日期的长短会影响人们做事是否拖延。由此可知，C项“Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination (截止日期——减少拖延的关键)”适合作为想本文标题。故选C。
语法填空
这是一篇说明文。幽默地看待挑战是一个很好的方法，这甚至可能有助于防止抑郁的人感到悲伤，也有利于培养控制负面情绪的能力。
56．考查名词复数。句意：“看到光明的一面”是人们总是认为鼓舞人心但不那么有用的建议之一。在介词of后应用名词suggestion表示“建议”作宾语，suggestion为可数名词，在those后应用复数形式。故填suggestions。
57．考查介词。句意：然而，新的研究表明，在糟糕的情况下找到一些有趣的事情会让人们很快停止抱怨。“of+抽象名词”相当于形容词，所以此处应用of interest表示“有趣的”修饰something作定语。故填of。
58．考查定语从句。句意：此外，幽默地看待挑战是一个很好的方法，这甚至可能有助于防止抑郁的人感到悲伤。在定语从句中缺少主语，且先行词为method，所以应用关系代词which。故填which。
59．考查介词。句意：此外，幽默地看待挑战是一个很好的方法，这甚至可能有助于防止抑郁的人感到悲伤。prevent sb from doing意为“防止某人做某事”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用介词from。故填from。
60．考查过去分词。句意：在今年早些时候发表的一项研究中，研究人员给了参与者一些表现消极情况的照片。动词publish意为“发布”，和谓语之间没有连词，和逻辑主语study构成被动关系，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填published。
61．考查冠词。句意：然后根据研究者的要求对这些照片进行描述。此处有of researchers作后置定语，所以应用定冠词表示特指。故填the。
62．考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意：研究发现，与直接描述照片的人相比，那些用幽默语言描述照片的人负面情绪更少，更有可能经历生活中的艰难时期。此处描述过去的事情，应用一般过去时。动词find意为“发现”，和主语Those构成被动关系。故填were found。
63．考查副词。句意：研究发现，与直接描述照片的人相比，那些用幽默语言描述照片的人负面情绪更少，更有可能经历生活中的艰难时期。修饰动词described应用副词directly表示“直接地”作状语。故填directly。
64．考查动词不定式。句意：这项研究的结论是，对于那些患抑郁症风险较高的人来说，幽默可以培养一种控制负面情绪的能力。修饰抽象名词ability应用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to control。
65．考查动名词。句意：更重要的是，幽默还有一个额外的好处，那就是让你周围的人微笑。在介词of后应用动名词作宾语。故填making。
【答案】His first shot bounced around but missed. As soon as Kevin’s teammates had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who was standing in the certain place near the free-throw line. He shot it slowly, but he missed it again. Nevertheless, all the players of his team kept throwing the ball to him and clapped him with encouragement. Very soon the audience figured out what was happening, so one by one they stood up and clapped their hands. The whole playground thundered with the clapping and shouting, “Kevin! Kevin!” And Kevin just kept shooting.
Finally, the ball took one bounce and went in unexpectedly. With arms shooting high into the air, Kevin shouted, “I won! I won!” He jumped high and hugged every teammate excitedly. Everyone could see tears welling in his eyes. They began to shout wildly and clap their hands to congratulate him. The feathery snow danced in the late afternoon air, making a beautiful sight. The clock ticked off the last few seconds and the first-place team remained undefeated. Even though they lost this game again that afternoon, everyone left the playground truly feeling like a winner.
【导语】本文以人物线索展开，讲述了Kevin是个“迟钝”的男孩，但和其他人相处的很好，他加入了他的老师Randy组建的篮球队，Kevin热爱篮球，但是他投不进球，球队输掉了所有的比赛。在赛季结束时，他们不幸地与第一名的球队比赛，虽然比对方落后很多，但是Kevin的队友觉得应该让Kevin投篮，每次Kevin所在的球队拿到球，Kevin都要站在罚球线附近他的特殊位置，然后他们就会把球给他。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句“他的第一球弹过，但没有击中”可知，第一段可描写Kevin第一次失败后大家的举动，所有人都为Kevin鼓掌，鼓励他。
②由第二段首句“最后，球弹了一下，出乎意料地进去了”可知，第二段要描写Kevin进球后大家的反应和感想。
2. 续写线索：
Kevin投球不进——观众加油助力——Kevin进球——Kevin、队友、观众的反应——虽输犹胜——感想
3.词汇激活
行为类
①鼓掌：clap/applaud
②拥抱：hug /embrace

It was not turning out to be the great fishing trip we had imagined. It certainly was not the one Father had promised. All day the rain beat against the roof of our cabin.
Father sat at the window, looking out over the lake. My older brother Jeremy, who had recently turned sixteen years old, lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. I paced the room, occasionally glancing toward Father to see if there was any sign that the rain would let up.
“I wish we’d never come out to this boring place,” Jeremy said.
I stopped pacing and looked at Father. He gave no sign that he had heard, and I hoped he hadn’t. This trip meant a lot to him. He used to come out here with own father.
I started pacing again.
“I mean, if we’d stayed home, at least I could watch TV, go out with my friends or play my guitar,” Jeremy continued.
Silence continued for some time. I kept pacing, imagining the trip I had dreamed of before the bad weather had set in. I saw us in the boat, anchor dropped in a calm bay casting our lines toward shore, the way Father had described it when he was trying to convince Jeremy to come along.
Father stood up and turned to face us. He smiled at me. “Come on, get up, Jeremy,” he said. “Let’s go fishing, boys.” He picked up his fishing rod and the tool box, opened the door, and walked out into the rain.
Jeremy and I watched Father walk down the pathway toward the dock (码头)，the wind whipping (打) at his hair,the rain wetting his clothes. Jeremy shook his head. “He's crazy if he thinks I’m going with him,” he said. “Maybe I would have when I was a little kid, but not now,” he said.
I waited for a while, unsure of what to do, looking out the open door at Father, who was walking onto the dock, facing against the storm. Jeremy couldn’t believe I picked up my rod and walked out into the storm after Father. I couldn’t quite hear what Jeremy said because of the wind in my ears, but I heard his footsteps behind me as he began to follow me out to the boat.
24. What does the underlined phrase “let up” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Stop. B. Continue. C. Hit. D. Arrive.
25. Why was the fishing trip important for the author’s father
A. He had never fished in the rain.
B. It’s his son Jeremy’s first fishing trip.
C. He and his own father usually went fishing there.
D. He wanted to have a better relationship with his sons.
26. What can we know about Jeremy
A. He doesn’t enjoy fishing.
B. He dislikes outdoor activities.
C. He is addicted to playing the guitar.
D. He showed no interest in the fishing trip.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To express the fondness for a particular day.
B. To describe a fishing experience in the rain.
C. To reflect on the old family tradition of fishing.
D. To recall the generation gap between father and brother.
C
According to the statistics shared by UNESCO, at least 43% of the total languages being spoken across the world are in danger of extinction. Moreover, many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now. Linguists (语言学家) and researchers believe that by the end of the century, at least half of the world’ s languages will have died.
Language activists and people who speak these endangered languages spare no effect to fight back. Scientists believe that digitalization might be our only hope to preserve some of these quickly disappearing languages in the online world.
For example, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago, advocating “digitally underrepresented” languages. They are focused on promoting languages that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, but have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them.
There have been countless other projects like this with the same aim. Another is the Rosetta Project,which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will come with around 13,000 pages of information. Projects like these have as their main goals to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died.
Countless languages will continue to perish as the remaining speakers die. Of course we cannot only rely on digitization to deal with worldwide languages loss. However, it is a step in the right direction. These digital tools offer endangered languages many opportunities to bounce back and survive.
28. What does the data in paragraph 1 mainly show
A. Many languages are endangered.
B. Culture determines language development.
C. Human activity has an influence on languages.
D. Many linguists attempt to protect threatened languages.
29. What does Oxford Global Languages try to do
A. Promote online courses of local languages.
B. Publish paper dictionaries of global languages.
C. Increase dying language speakers to a million.

They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short.
Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help.
The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.
“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”
He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”
32. Why did Professor Knowles do the research
A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination.
B. To find out whether people are interested in charity.
C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination.
D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion.
33. What most likely leads to procrastination
A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines.
34. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study
A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time
B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve
C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination
D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination

The intelligence of dolphins is widely accepted. However, this story about a particularly 41 dolphin called Kelly at an ocean park in Mississippi is incredible.
The dolphins there are trained to keep their pools 42 . They collect litter that falls into the water and give it to the trainer and receive a fish as a reward for every piece of 43.
But when people dropped paper into the water, Kelly would hide the paper under a rock at the bottom of the pool, tear off a small piece and bring it to the trainer to 44 it for a fish.

If you had to choose one word to describe Kevin, it might have been “slow”. He didn’t learn his ABCs as fast as other kids. He never came in first in the schoolyard races. However, his smile was brighter than the sun in June; his heart was bigger than the mountain sky. Kevin’s enthusiasm for life was quite infectious.
When Kevin joined the boys’ school basketball team, basketball became the center of his life. At practice, he worked so hard that you’d think he was preparing for the NBA．He liked to stand in a certain place near the free-throw line and shoot at the basket. Patiently, he stood there throwing ball after ball after ball. “Look at me, Coach!” he’d shout at Randy, jumping up and down with the excitement of shooting.
Kevin and his whole team truly loved basketball. But just loving the game didn’t help them win. More balls fell out of the basket than into it, and the boys lost every game that season, except one—the night when it snowed and the other team couldn’t make it to the game.
It was a cold snowing afternoon when their last game came. As the last-place team, they played against the first-place team. The game went pretty much the same as expected, and near the middle of the fourth quarter Kevin’s team stood nearly 30 points behind.
At that point, one of Kevin’s teammates called time-out. As he came to the side, Randy couldn’t imagine why the time-out had been called. “Coach,” said the boy. “This is our last game and I know that Kevin has played in every game, but he’s never made a basket. I think we should let Kevin make a basket.” With the game completely out of reach, the idea seemed reasonable, so the plan was made. When they had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who was standing in his special place near the free-throw line.
