Have you ever had trouble choosing suitable books for your children Here we introduce three books that will make your children look forward to bedtime.
Alone
One day, Maddie decides to stay at hergrand parents' empty apartment alone without telling her parents. However, an unexpected middle-of-the-night evacuation(撤离) leaves her completely alone in Colorado town, without power or any way to communicate with her loved ones. With only the neighbor's dog by her side, Maddie spends the next three years fighting against bad weather, hunger, wild dogs and loneliness. (Ages 10-up)
Time for Kenny
It describes a day in a kid's life. Painted in the artist's characteristically loose, rounded line, brown-skinned Kenny is first seen playing thoughtfully with a large toy bus. "It's time for Kenny to get dressed for the day," the narrator announces. Can Kenny wear his father's shirt or his mother's shoes No. His parents smile as he tries them on, and admire him once he properly dresses. Such a small, everyday event conveys that Kenny is an innocent child cherished by his family. (Ages 4-up)
The Animal Rescue Agency #1: Case File:Little Claws
In the story, Esquire, a fox, and Mr Pepper, an elderly rooster, set out to save Little Claws, a young polar bear. Because a villainous(邪恶的) fur-wearing animal dealer planned to sell the baby bear to a Florida zoo. Living up to their motto—"To each animal, it has the right to live its natural life", the team prevented the dealer's plan and took the risk of setting all the Arctic animals in a house free. It provides a light-hearted read with environmental conservation at its core. (Ages 8-12)
1.What has Maddie struggled with in the Colorado town for three years
A. Caring for her dog. B. Surviving on her own.
C. Hiding from her parents. D. Rescuing people in need.
2.What kind of kid is Kenny
A. He is the apple of his family's eye. B.He is a child with many ideas.
C. He has a good sense of humor. D. He often upsets his parents.
3.Which of the following can best describe Esquire and Mr Pepper

Growing up, I was often the first Jewish person my classmates had ever met. I lived in Mississauga, Ontario, and was the only Jewish student in my grade—sometimes the only one in the whole school. This difference set me apart.
Every September, I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know. The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I fretted that my teachers would label me the “Jewish kid”.
The real trouble always came as the local new year’s festival approached. I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah, not this festival. At school, on one day before the winter break, every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival. However, the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, a Jewish festival song, and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks. As my friends counted down the days until the festival, I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal.
Each year during primary school, my mother would coordinate (协调) with my teacher to come to my class and tell the story of Hanukkah. She would prepare treats and materials depending on my age. Every time I would proudly stand beside her as she told the story of Hanukkah and explained the symbols. The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions. After my mom left, I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes.
My mom’s annual visits to my school sparked (激发) interest from other parents as well. Over the years, we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy.
My mom showed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared, an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season.
1.What does the underlined word “fretted” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.Noticed. B.Disagreed. C.Worried. D.Expected.
2.What really annoyed the author during the local festival
A.Being a trick target. B.Singing holiday songs.
C.Being culturally different. D.Celebrating others’ festival.
3.How did the author’s classmates react to Mom’s coming
A.They welcomed it warmly. B.They gave away her treats.
C.They showed off themselves. D.They expressed sympathy for her.
4.Which of the following best states what Mom did at school
A.She protected her child from being hurt.
B.She encouraged cross-cultural understanding.
C.She made Hanukkah a school-celebrated festival.
D.She saved the Jewish tradition from being changed.
C
Sometimes a book comes along that isn't just "interesting" or "well done"—it's a book where it seems like the author looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically for you. A book like that for me was released last week. It's called 100 Things We've Lost to the Internet, written by editor Pamela Paul.
Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely: writing letters, printing newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket.
As I often accumulate random knowledge, certain entries on the list—Being the Only One, Figuring Out Who That Actor Is—hit me where I live; remembering detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find the answer in seconds.
On and on the list goes, with every minor shift adding to I he pile. What this book does so well is illustrate the growth of that pile; while any individual item might be no big deal, the collected set is significant. It's a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then.
Obviously, Paul isn't saying that everything back then was better. Time marches on, after all, and it's tough to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives. But that isn't really the point. It's not about whether it used to be better. It’s that it used to be different.
100 Things We've Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul's memories and experiences. We remember what it was like and we like to remember. The landscape has shifted, and no doubt it will shift again as technology's advancement continues apace. This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made, sometimes something is lost.
1.What is the purpose of the text
A.To review and recommend a good read.
B.To comment on the effect of the Internet.
C.To argue for the viewpoint of a new book.
D.To urge the readers to value what they have.
2.Which might be entries on Paul's list
A.Maps and Eye Contact. B.E-pay and Compact Disks.
C.Postcards and Homeschooling. D.Photos and Washing Machines.
3.What do the underlined words "hit me where I live" in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Prove what I'm good at. B.Introduce how I grew up.
C.Describe the place I live in. D.Speak out what is on my mind.
4.What conclusion has the author drawn after reading Paul's book
A.Things in the past are better.
B.There're no gains without pains.
C.The Internet is a double-edged sword.
D.Technology is constantly changing the world.
D
A study combining linguistic, genetic and archaeological evidence has traced the origins of the family of languages including modern Japanese, Korean, Turkish and Mongolian and the people who speak them to millet(粟) farmers who inhabited a region in northeastern China about 9,000 years ago.
The findings detailed on Wednesday document a shared genetic ancestry for the hundreds of millions of people who speak what the researchers call Transeurasian languages across an area stretching more than 8,000 kilometers.
The findings illustrate how humankind's embrace of agriculture following the Ice Age powered the movements of some of the world's major language families. Millet was an important early crop as hunter-gatherers transitioned to an agricultural lifestyle.
There are 98 Transeurasian languages. This language family's beginnings were traced to millet farmers in the Liao River valley, an area including parts of the Chinese provinces of Liaoning and Jilin and the region of Inner Mongolia. As these farmers moved across northeastern Asia, the descendant languages spread north and west into Siberia and east into Korea and over the sea to Japan over thousands of years.
The research stressed the complex beginnings for modern populations and cultures.
"Accepting that the roots of one's language, culture or people lie beyond the present national boundaries is a kind of surrender of identity, which some people are not yet prepared to make," said comparative linguist Martine Robbeets, lead author of the study published in the journal Nature.
"Powerful nations are often pictured as representing one language, one culture and one genetic profile. But a truth is that all languages, cultures and humans, including those in Asia, are mixed," Robbeets added.
The origins of modern Chinese languages arose independently, though in a similar fashion, with millet also involved. While the ancestors of the Transeurasian languages grew millet in the Liao River valley, the originators of the Sino-Tibetan language family farmed millet at roughly the same time in China's Yellow River region, paving the way for a separate language expansion.
1.What is the study mainly about
A. The migration routes of millet farmers.
B. The ancient origins of a large language family.
C. The different ancestries of Transeurasian speakers.
D.The shared features of some neighboring languages.
2.What fueled the spread of Transeurasian languages
A. The transition of power. B. The diversity of lifestyles.
C. The interaction of cultures. D. The adoption of farming.
3.According to Robbeets, who may feel uncomfortable about the findings
A. Those from agricultural countries.
B.Those who deny their cultural identity.
C. Those with a strong sense of nationalism.
D. Those who are afraid to cross boundaries.
4.What is the main function of the last paragraph
A. To draw a conclusion. B. To present likely consequences.
C.To highlight the theme. D. To offer additional information.

第二节 （满分25分）
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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Laurie sat quietly in the empty dressing room at the ice-skating rink (溜冰场). She had not been skating in any competition since her left knee was badly injured in an accident six months ago. As she waited for her turn to skate, Laurie was very nervous. She knew that today was a very important day in her comeback.
"If I can win today," she thought, "I can skate in the World Cup next year and then maybe I can make it to the Olympics."
Laurie was just told that she had a tough competitor this year, a girl from Connecticut named Jinny Jordan who was really strong in everything. "She is the one you have to beat this year." The coach said.
Minutes later, the door opened and Laurie saw a young woman who was about her own age. The young woman dumped some of her belongings onto a chair. The bag fell to the floor with a thud (砰地一声).
Laurie felt uncomfortable as she looked at Jinny. "So this is my competitor," thought Laurie, "Because of her, I may lose tonight."
"This costume (服装) was my mom's idea." Jinny started the conversation, looking down at her red, white, and blue skating dress. "I look like a flag."
Laurie couldn't keep from smiling. She pointed to Jinny's skating bag. "Some stuff fell out of your bag." Laurie said.
Jinny looked at the clothing and equipment that lay scattered on the floor. As she began to gather her belongings, the door opened.
"Jinny," called someone, "You'd better give the tape of your music to the sound engineer right away."
"I thought I gave him my music tape an hour ago," said Jinny. Tell him it's the green box with my initials (姓名的首字母) written in white in the right-hand corner."
"He said you never gave it to him, and he's getting angry."
"Then I don't know what I did with it," said Jinny, rushing out.
Laurie knew that music was nearly as important to the program as skating itself. If she lost her music tape, she might as well forget about skating. Laurie stood up and walked to the chair to do a few more knee bends.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Feeling relieved, Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally called her name. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

B
1.答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线单词上文"Every September, I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know. The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur."(9月,我都讨厌把父母熟练地写的便条交给我刚刚以识的老师。这张便条解释说,我将在犹太节日和赎罪日缺席。)可知,作者不喜欢父母写便条告诉老师自己将在犹太节日和赎罪日缺席,因为他担心老师知道他是犹太人,由此可知,画线单词所在句表示作者担心老师会给自己贴上"犹太孩子"的标签,"Worried"意为"担心",能够代替画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选C项。
2.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段内容"The real trouble always came as the local new year's festival approached. I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah, not this festival. At school, on one day before the winter break, every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival. However, the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, a Jewish festival song, and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks. As my friends counted down the days until the festival, I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal."(真正的麻频总是在当地的新年临近时出现。我是犹太人,庆祝光明节,而不是这个节日。在学校,在寒假的前一天,每个班级都会整齐地坐在体育馆里,唱节日歌曲。然而,音乐老师有时会演奏一首犹太节日歌曲Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,我会感觉到数百只眼睛盯着我的红脸。当我的朋友们数着节日到来前的日子时,我数着节日结束前的日子,我可以恢复正常的感觉。)可知,作者不喜欢当地的新年,因为他是犹太人,庆祝光明节,而不是这个节日,文化差异导致作者感到尴尬,由此可知。在当地节日期间,真正使作者感到恼火的是文化差异。故选C项。
3.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段关键句"The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions. After my mom left, I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes."(之前参加过介绍会的孩子们竞相回答问题。妈妈离开后,我会无意中听到他们向其他班的孩子炫耀他们的油炸食品。)可知,当作者的妈妈来介绍犹太节日时,孩子们竞相回答问题,在妈妈离开后,向其他班的孩子炫耀他们的油炸食品,由此可推断出,作者的同学热烈欢迎作者妈妈的到来。故选A项。
4.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容"My mom's annual visits to my school sparked(激发) interest from other parents as well. Over the years, we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy."(我妈妈每年都来访我的学校,这也激发了其他家长的兴趣。这些年来,我们有家长来访,他们分享了德国和意大利庆祝节日的方式。)和最后一段内容"My mom showed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared, an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season."(我妈妈告诉我、我的同学和他们的家人,让我们与众不同的东西应该被庆祝和分享,这是我在另一个假期里为自己设定的目标。)可知,作者的妈妈分享犹太节日的行为也激发了其他家长分享自己国家的传统节日,妈妈的行为也让我知道我们应该分享自己的传统文化,由此可知,妈妈在学校做的事情说明她鼓励跨文化理解。故选B项。
C
1.答案：A
解析：根据文章内容尤其是第一段的描述可知, 一本好书似乎就像作者走进你的心灵, 专为你而著。对于作者来说, 上周出版的《被网络夺走的100种事物》就是这样的一本好书。由此可知, 作者是在评论一本好书。再结合第六段首句可知, 对于那些和Paul有着相同记忆和经历的人来说, 这是一本很有趣的读物。综上所述, 本文的写作目的是对这本好读物的评论和推荐。故选A。
2.答案：A
解析：根据第二段首句中的"Paul lists 100...taken over completely"可知, Paul所列的100种事物是我们过去常用的, 但被现在的网络改变或完全夺走的事物, 故A项(地图和目光交流)可能进入Paul的书单中。故选A。
3.答案：D
解析：根据第一段中的"it's a book...to the Internet"和第三段中的"As I often accumulate...hit me where I live"可知, 作者认为一本好书的作者似乎就在洞察你的内心, 由于作者经常积累不认识的知识, 故入选该书的某些事物吸引了作者, 由此可推知, Being the Only One, Figuring Out Who That Actor Is应该是说出了作者的内心。故选D。
4.答案：D
解析：根据第六段中的"The landscape has...continues apace"可知, 作者认为局面已经变化了, 并且毫无疑问的是随着科技的迅速进步, 局面将再次发生变化。故可推知读完这本书后作者认为科技在不断地改变着世界。故选D。
D
1.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段可知,一项综合了语言学、遗传学和考古学证据的研究追溯了现代日语、韩语、土耳其语和蒙古语等语族的起源。由此可知,该研究主要是关于一支大语系的古老起源。故选B项。
2.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The findings illustrate how humankind's embrace of agriculture following the Ice Age powered the movements of some of the world's major language families.”可知,农业推动了泛欧亚语系的传播。故选D项。
3.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Accepting that the roots of one's language, culture or people lie beyond the present national boundaries is a kind of surrender of identity, which some people are not yet prepared to make”可知,Robbeets认为,承认自己的语言、文化或祖先来自境外,是一种身份上的屈服,有些人还接受不了。在四个选项中,强烈的民族主义者比较符合这个群体的画像。故选C项。
4.答案：D
解析：写作意图题。根据最后一段可知,现代汉语的起源是独立的,尽管是以类似的方式,并且粟也参与其中。泛欧亚语系(使用者)的祖先在辽河流域种植粟,而汉藏语系的创始者则几乎同时在中国的黄河流域种植粟,这为独立的语言发展铺平了道路。前文主要探讨的是泛欧亚语系,所以这里是补充关于汉藏语系的额外信息。故选D项。
第二节
答案：CGFEB
解析：①利用同义转述解题。空前“Actually, people visit museums for a variety of reasons.”提到,人们因各种原因而参观博物馆,C项“有些是私人原因,有些是社会性的原因”承接上文,进一步描述人们参观博物馆的原因。
②利用关键词复现法解题。根据空后“Each work opens a doorway..., rather than merely observed.”可知,G项“参观博物馆能让你站在艺术家的角度思考问题”与下文衔接紧密,符合语境,G项中的artists是关键词,和下文的artists'呼应。
③利用文章结构解题。根据本段主题“Gain inspiration.”及空前“A museum is a wonderful place...again.”可知,本段主要讲述参观博物馆能激发灵感,F项“观察艺术作品能让你产生新的想法”与本段主题一致。

⑤利用文章结构解题。空处位于段首,是段落主题句,结合空后“Museums offer a perfect opportunity...art and culture.”可知,本段讲述参观博物馆能遇见志同道合的人,B项“认识那些有相似兴趣的人”符合语境。

解析：本文是一篇应用文。文章就艺术展是在上海博物馆举办还是在社区图书馆举办这一问题提出建议。作者认为在上海博物馆举办艺术展比在社区图书馆举办更明智,并给予了充分的理由。
①考查动词不定式的被动形式表将来。句意:我听说有一个艺术展将要举办……根据句意可知艺术展将要举办,且an art exhibition与hold之间是被动关系,故填to be held。
②考查固定搭配。句意:我写这封信是想和你分享我的观点。share sth. with sb.为固定搭配,意为“与某人分享某事物”。故填with。
③考查代词。句意:在我看来,在上海博物馆举办艺术展比在社区图书馆举办更明智。分析句子结构可知,本句中真正的主语是后面的不定式,因此用it代替动词不定式做形式主语。故填it。
④考查形容词的比较级。句意:一方面,人们去上海博物馆(比去社区图书馆)更方便一些……根据句意可知此处表示比较意义,故用比较级。故填more convenient。
⑤考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,本句中的非限制性定语从句修饰先行词"Shanghai Museum",关系词指代"Shanghai Museum"且在从句中做主语。故用which。
⑥考查主谓一致。句意:此外,上海博物馆比社区图书馆大得多,可以给游客提供更舒适的环境来欣赏艺术。分析句子结构可知,此处应用一般现在时,且which指代前面的先行词"the museum",是单数,故用provides。
⑦考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,设空处在句子中做介词for的宾语,因此要用动名词形式,故填appreciating。
⑧考查固定搭配。句意:……上海博物馆在举办艺术展方面更具专业性和经验。be experienced in在方面有经验。故填experienced。
⑨考查名词单复数。句意:它的专业安保和先进的设施可以更好地保护那些名画免遭损坏或被盗。根据句意可知此处应用paint的名词形式painting;由空前的those可知应用其复数形式,故填paintings。
⑩考查连词。根据上题的句意可知,此空填or。

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table. She pulled it out, and saw the white initials J. J in the top right-hand corner. "It's Jinny's music tape!" She exclaimed. Laurie's heart started beating fast. "All I'd have to do is forget that I found this," she thought. "If Jinny doesn't have her music, she might as well not skate. And then I would win." Laurie shivered slightly as she thought about this. Then she wondered, "Does winning mean so much to me that I'd be willing to cheat for it " She walked to the door and called Jinny loudly.
Paragraph 2:
Feeling relieved, Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally called her name. The music filled the stadium and she skated gracefully and beautifully. Her left knee was fine and she felt herself gliding on the ice. The audience applauded from time to time, enthusiastically supporting her comeback. When she finished, her coach ran up to her and hugged her. "You did it, Laurie!" She said. Laurie smiled and thought about Jinny's music tape. "No one will ever know how close I really came close to losing." She said softly to herself.

Have you ever had trouble choosing suitable books for your children Here we introduce three books that will make your children look forward to bedtime.
Alone
One day, Maddie decides to stay at hergrand parents' empty apartment alone without telling her parents. However, an unexpected middle-of-the-night evacuation(撤离) leaves her completely alone in Colorado town, without power or any way to communicate with her loved ones. With only the neighbor's dog by her side, Maddie spends the next three years fighting against bad weather, hunger, wild dogs and loneliness. (Ages 10-up)
Time for Kenny
It describes a day in a kid's life. Painted in the artist's characteristically loose, rounded line, brown-skinned Kenny is first seen playing thoughtfully with a large toy bus. "It's time for Kenny to get dressed for the day," the narrator announces. Can Kenny wear his father's shirt or his mother's shoes No. His parents smile as he tries them on, and admire him once he properly dresses. Such a small, everyday event conveys that Kenny is an innocent child cherished by his family. (Ages 4-up)
The Animal Rescue Agency #1: Case File:Little Claws
In the story, Esquire, a fox, and Mr Pepper, an elderly rooster, set out to save Little Claws, a young polar bear. Because a villainous(邪恶的) fur-wearing animal dealer planned to sell the baby bear to a Florida zoo. Living up to their motto—"To each animal, it has the right to live its natural life", the team prevented the dealer's plan and took the risk of setting all the Arctic animals in a house free. It provides a light-hearted read with environmental conservation at its core. (Ages 8-12)

Growing up, I was often the first Jewish person my classmates had ever met. I lived in Mississauga, Ontario, and was the only Jewish student in my grade—sometimes the only one in the whole school. This difference set me apart.
Every September, I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know. The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I fretted that my teachers would label me the “Jewish kid”.
The real trouble always came as the local new year’s festival approached. I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah, not this festival. At school, on one day before the winter break, every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival. However, the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, a Jewish festival song, and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks. As my friends counted down the days until the festival, I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal.
Each year during primary school, my mother would coordinate (协调) with my teacher to come to my class and tell the story of Hanukkah. She would prepare treats and materials depending on my age. Every time I would proudly stand beside her as she told the story of Hanukkah and explained the symbols. The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions. After my mom left, I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes.
My mom’s annual visits to my school sparked (激发) interest from other parents as well. Over the years, we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy.
My mom showed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared, an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season.
1.What does the underlined word “fretted” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.Noticed. B.Disagreed. C.Worried. D.Expected.

4.Which of the following best states what Mom did at school
A.She protected her child from being hurt.
B.She encouraged cross-cultural understanding.
C.She made Hanukkah a school-celebrated festival.
D.She saved the Jewish tradition from being changed.
C
Sometimes a book comes along that isn't just "interesting" or "well done"—it's a book where it seems like the author looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically for you. A book like that for me was released last week. It's called 100 Things We've Lost to the Internet, written by editor Pamela Paul.
Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely: writing letters, printing newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket.
As I often accumulate random knowledge, certain entries on the list—Being the Only One, Figuring Out Who That Actor Is—hit me where I live; remembering detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find the answer in seconds.
On and on the list goes, with every minor shift adding to I he pile. What this book does so well is illustrate the growth of that pile; while any individual item might be no big deal, the collected set is significant. It's a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then.
Obviously, Paul isn't saying that everything back then was better. Time marches on, after all, and it's tough to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives. But that isn't really the point. It's not about whether it used to be better. It’s that it used to be different.
100 Things We've Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul's memories and experiences. We remember what it was like and we like to remember. The landscape has shifted, and no doubt it will shift again as technology's advancement continues apace. This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made, sometimes something is lost.
1.What is the purpose of the text
A.To review and recommend a good read.
B.To comment on the effect of the Internet.
C.To argue for the viewpoint of a new book.
D.To urge the readers to value what they have.
2.Which might be entries on Paul's list
A.Maps and Eye Contact. B.E-pay and Compact Disks.
C.Postcards and Homeschooling. D.Photos and Washing Machines.
3.What do the underlined words "hit me where I live" in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Prove what I'm good at. B.Introduce how I grew up.
C.Describe the place I live in. D.Speak out what is on my mind.
4.What conclusion has the author drawn after reading Paul's book
A.Things in the past are better.
B.There're no gains without pains.
C.The Internet is a double-edged sword.
D.Technology is constantly changing the world.
D
A study combining linguistic, genetic and archaeological evidence has traced the origins of the family of languages including modern Japanese, Korean, Turkish and Mongolian and the people who speak them to millet(粟) farmers who inhabited a region in northeastern China about 9,000 years ago.
The findings detailed on Wednesday document a shared genetic ancestry for the hundreds of millions of people who speak what the researchers call Transeurasian languages across an area stretching more than 8,000 kilometers.
The findings illustrate how humankind's embrace of agriculture following the Ice Age powered the movements of some of the world's major language families. Millet was an important early crop as hunter-gatherers transitioned to an agricultural lifestyle.
There are 98 Transeurasian languages. This language family's beginnings were traced to millet farmers in the Liao River valley, an area including parts of the Chinese provinces of Liaoning and Jilin and the region of Inner Mongolia. As these farmers moved across northeastern Asia, the descendant languages spread north and west into Siberia and east into Korea and over the sea to Japan over thousands of years.
The research stressed the complex beginnings for modern populations and cultures.
"Accepting that the roots of one's language, culture or people lie beyond the present national boundaries is a kind of surrender of identity, which some people are not yet prepared to make," said comparative linguist Martine Robbeets, lead author of the study published in the journal Nature.
"Powerful nations are often pictured as representing one language, one culture and one genetic profile. But a truth is that all languages, cultures and humans, including those in Asia, are mixed," Robbeets added.
The origins of modern Chinese languages arose independently, though in a similar fashion, with millet also involved. While the ancestors of the Transeurasian languages grew millet in the Liao River valley, the originators of the Sino-Tibetan language family farmed millet at roughly the same time in China's Yellow River region, paving the way for a separate language expansion.
1.What is the study mainly about
A. The migration routes of millet farmers.
B. The ancient origins of a large language family.
C. The different ancestries of Transeurasian speakers.
D.The shared features of some neighboring languages.
2.What fueled the spread of Transeurasian languages
A. The transition of power. B. The diversity of lifestyles.
C. The interaction of cultures. D. The adoption of farming.
3.According to Robbeets, who may feel uncomfortable about the findings
A. Those from agricultural countries.
B.Those who deny their cultural identity.
C. Those with a strong sense of nationalism.
D. Those who are afraid to cross boundaries.
4.What is the main function of the last paragraph
A. To draw a conclusion. B. To present likely consequences.
C.To highlight the theme. D. To offer additional information.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Laurie sat quietly in the empty dressing room at the ice-skating rink (溜冰场). She had not been skating in any competition since her left knee was badly injured in an accident six months ago. As she waited for her turn to skate, Laurie was very nervous. She knew that today was a very important day in her comeback.
"If I can win today," she thought, "I can skate in the World Cup next year and then maybe I can make it to the Olympics."
Laurie was just told that she had a tough competitor this year, a girl from Connecticut named Jinny Jordan who was really strong in everything. "She is the one you have to beat this year." The coach said.
Minutes later, the door opened and Laurie saw a young woman who was about her own age. The young woman dumped some of her belongings onto a chair. The bag fell to the floor with a thud (砰地一声).
Laurie felt uncomfortable as she looked at Jinny. "So this is my competitor," thought Laurie, "Because of her, I may lose tonight."
"This costume (服装) was my mom's idea." Jinny started the conversation, looking down at her red, white, and blue skating dress. "I look like a flag."
Laurie couldn't keep from smiling. She pointed to Jinny's skating bag. "Some stuff fell out of your bag." Laurie said.
Jinny looked at the clothing and equipment that lay scattered on the floor. As she began to gather her belongings, the door opened.
"Jinny," called someone, "You'd better give the tape of your music to the sound engineer right away."
"I thought I gave him my music tape an hour ago," said Jinny. Tell him it's the green box with my initials (姓名的首字母) written in white in the right-hand corner."
"He said you never gave it to him, and he's getting angry."
"Then I don't know what I did with it," said Jinny, rushing out.
Laurie knew that music was nearly as important to the program as skating itself. If she lost her music tape, she might as well forget about skating. Laurie stood up and walked to the chair to do a few more knee bends.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Feeling relieved, Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally called her name. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In the story, Esquire, a fox, and Mr Pepper, an elderly rooster, set out to save Little Claws, a young polar bear.”可知,狐狸Esquire和老公鸡Mr Pepper出发去救小北极熊Little Claws,所以狐狸Esquire和老公鸡Mr Pepper心地善良;再结合“the team prevented the dealer's plan and took the risk of setting all the Arctic animals in a house free”可知,狐狸Esquire和老公鸡Mr Pepper冒险救了被关起来的北极动物,所以它们很勇敢。由此可知,狐狸Esquire和老公鸡Mr Pepper既善良又勇敢。故选C项。
B
1.答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线单词上文"Every September, I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know. The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur."(9月,我都讨厌把父母熟练地写的便条交给我刚刚以识的老师。这张便条解释说,我将在犹太节日和赎罪日缺席。)可知,作者不喜欢父母写便条告诉老师自己将在犹太节日和赎罪日缺席,因为他担心老师知道他是犹太人,由此可知,画线单词所在句表示作者担心老师会给自己贴上"犹太孩子"的标签,"Worried"意为"担心",能够代替画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选C项。
2.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段内容"The real trouble always came as the local new year's festival approached. I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah, not this festival. At school, on one day before the winter break, every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival. However, the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, a Jewish festival song, and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks. As my friends counted down the days until the festival, I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal."(真正的麻频总是在当地的新年临近时出现。我是犹太人,庆祝光明节,而不是这个节日。在学校,在寒假的前一天,每个班级都会整齐地坐在体育馆里,唱节日歌曲。然而,音乐老师有时会演奏一首犹太节日歌曲Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,我会感觉到数百只眼睛盯着我的红脸。当我的朋友们数着节日到来前的日子时,我数着节日结束前的日子,我可以恢复正常的感觉。)可知,作者不喜欢当地的新年,因为他是犹太人,庆祝光明节,而不是这个节日,文化差异导致作者感到尴尬,由此可知。在当地节日期间,真正使作者感到恼火的是文化差异。故选C项。
3.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段关键句"The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions. After my mom left, I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes."(之前参加过介绍会的孩子们竞相回答问题。妈妈离开后,我会无意中听到他们向其他班的孩子炫耀他们的油炸食品。)可知,当作者的妈妈来介绍犹太节日时,孩子们竞相回答问题,在妈妈离开后,向其他班的孩子炫耀他们的油炸食品,由此可推断出,作者的同学热烈欢迎作者妈妈的到来。故选A项。
4.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容"My mom's annual visits to my school sparked(激发) interest from other parents as well. Over the years, we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy."(我妈妈每年都来访我的学校,这也激发了其他家长的兴趣。这些年来,我们有家长来访,他们分享了德国和意大利庆祝节日的方式。)和最后一段内容"My mom showed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared, an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season."(我妈妈告诉我、我的同学和他们的家人,让我们与众不同的东西应该被庆祝和分享,这是我在另一个假期里为自己设定的目标。)可知,作者的妈妈分享犹太节日的行为也激发了其他家长分享自己国家的传统节日,妈妈的行为也让我知道我们应该分享自己的传统文化,由此可知,妈妈在学校做的事情说明她鼓励跨文化理解。故选B项。
C
1.答案：A
解析：根据文章内容尤其是第一段的描述可知, 一本好书似乎就像作者走进你的心灵, 专为你而著。对于作者来说, 上周出版的《被网络夺走的100种事物》就是这样的一本好书。由此可知, 作者是在评论一本好书。再结合第六段首句可知, 对于那些和Paul有着相同记忆和经历的人来说, 这是一本很有趣的读物。综上所述, 本文的写作目的是对这本好读物的评论和推荐。故选A。
2.答案：A
解析：根据第二段首句中的"Paul lists 100...taken over completely"可知, Paul所列的100种事物是我们过去常用的, 但被现在的网络改变或完全夺走的事物, 故A项(地图和目光交流)可能进入Paul的书单中。故选A。
3.答案：D
解析：根据第一段中的"it's a book...to the Internet"和第三段中的"As I often accumulate...hit me where I live"可知, 作者认为一本好书的作者似乎就在洞察你的内心, 由于作者经常积累不认识的知识, 故入选该书的某些事物吸引了作者, 由此可推知, Being the Only One, Figuring Out Who That Actor Is应该是说出了作者的内心。故选D。
4.答案：D
解析：根据第六段中的"The landscape has...continues apace"可知, 作者认为局面已经变化了, 并且毫无疑问的是随着科技的迅速进步, 局面将再次发生变化。故可推知读完这本书后作者认为科技在不断地改变着世界。故选D。
D
1.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段可知,一项综合了语言学、遗传学和考古学证据的研究追溯了现代日语、韩语、土耳其语和蒙古语等语族的起源。由此可知,该研究主要是关于一支大语系的古老起源。故选B项。
2.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The findings illustrate how humankind's embrace of agriculture following the Ice Age powered the movements of some of the world's major language families.”可知,农业推动了泛欧亚语系的传播。故选D项。
3.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Accepting that the roots of one's language, culture or people lie beyond the present national boundaries is a kind of surrender of identity, which some people are not yet prepared to make”可知,Robbeets认为,承认自己的语言、文化或祖先来自境外,是一种身份上的屈服,有些人还接受不了。在四个选项中,强烈的民族主义者比较符合这个群体的画像。故选C项。
4.答案：D
解析：写作意图题。根据最后一段可知,现代汉语的起源是独立的,尽管是以类似的方式,并且粟也参与其中。泛欧亚语系(使用者)的祖先在辽河流域种植粟,而汉藏语系的创始者则几乎同时在中国的黄河流域种植粟,这为独立的语言发展铺平了道路。前文主要探讨的是泛欧亚语系,所以这里是补充关于汉藏语系的额外信息。故选D项。
第二节
答案：CGFEB
解析：①利用同义转述解题。空前“Actually, people visit museums for a variety of reasons.”提到,人们因各种原因而参观博物馆,C项“有些是私人原因,有些是社会性的原因”承接上文,进一步描述人们参观博物馆的原因。
②利用关键词复现法解题。根据空后“Each work opens a doorway..., rather than merely observed.”可知,G项“参观博物馆能让你站在艺术家的角度思考问题”与下文衔接紧密,符合语境,G项中的artists是关键词,和下文的artists'呼应。
③利用文章结构解题。根据本段主题“Gain inspiration.”及空前“A museum is a wonderful place...again.”可知,本段主要讲述参观博物馆能激发灵感,F项“观察艺术作品能让你产生新的想法”与本段主题一致。
④利用关键词复现法解题。根据空前“Whether it's a new exhibit...talk about.”可知,此处是说博物馆能提供各种各样的话题,E项“这些话题不仅限于传统艺术品”符合语境,和空后一句“You can also mention exciting inventions...so on.”衔接紧密,E项中的topics和前一句中的subjects是同义词。
⑤利用文章结构解题。空处位于段首,是段落主题句,结合空后“Museums offer a perfect opportunity...art and culture.”可知,本段讲述参观博物馆能遇见志同道合的人,B项“认识那些有相似兴趣的人”符合语境。

第二节
答案：to be held; with; it; more convenient; which; provides; appreciating; experienced; paintings; or
解析：本文是一篇应用文。文章就艺术展是在上海博物馆举办还是在社区图书馆举办这一问题提出建议。作者认为在上海博物馆举办艺术展比在社区图书馆举办更明智,并给予了充分的理由。
①考查动词不定式的被动形式表将来。句意:我听说有一个艺术展将要举办……根据句意可知艺术展将要举办,且an art exhibition与hold之间是被动关系,故填to be held。
②考查固定搭配。句意:我写这封信是想和你分享我的观点。share sth. with sb.为固定搭配,意为“与某人分享某事物”。故填with。
③考查代词。句意:在我看来,在上海博物馆举办艺术展比在社区图书馆举办更明智。分析句子结构可知,本句中真正的主语是后面的不定式,因此用it代替动词不定式做形式主语。故填it。
④考查形容词的比较级。句意:一方面,人们去上海博物馆(比去社区图书馆)更方便一些……根据句意可知此处表示比较意义,故用比较级。故填more convenient。
⑤考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,本句中的非限制性定语从句修饰先行词"Shanghai Museum",关系词指代"Shanghai Museum"且在从句中做主语。故用which。
⑥考查主谓一致。句意:此外,上海博物馆比社区图书馆大得多,可以给游客提供更舒适的环境来欣赏艺术。分析句子结构可知,此处应用一般现在时,且which指代前面的先行词"the museum",是单数,故用provides。
⑦考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,设空处在句子中做介词for的宾语,因此要用动名词形式,故填appreciating。
⑧考查固定搭配。句意:……上海博物馆在举办艺术展方面更具专业性和经验。be experienced in在方面有经验。故填experienced。
⑨考查名词单复数。句意:它的专业安保和先进的设施可以更好地保护那些名画免遭损坏或被盗。根据句意可知此处应用paint的名词形式painting;由空前的those可知应用其复数形式,故填paintings。
⑩考查连词。根据上题的句意可知,此空填or。

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table. She pulled it out, and saw the white initials J. J in the top right-hand corner. "It's Jinny's music tape!" She exclaimed. Laurie's heart started beating fast. "All I'd have to do is forget that I found this," she thought. "If Jinny doesn't have her music, she might as well not skate. And then I would win." Laurie shivered slightly as she thought about this. Then she wondered, "Does winning mean so much to me that I'd be willing to cheat for it " She walked to the door and called Jinny loudly.
Paragraph 2:
Feeling relieved, Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally called her name. The music filled the stadium and she skated gracefully and beautifully. Her left knee was fine and she felt herself gliding on the ice. The audience applauded from time to time, enthusiastically supporting her comeback. When she finished, her coach ran up to her and hugged her. "You did it, Laurie!" She said. Laurie smiled and thought about Jinny's music tape. "No one will ever know how close I really came close to losing." She said softly to herself.
