A
“You need to sign this,” my son Joe informed me. “What is it ” I asked. Rolling his eyes with a sense of impatience, Joe replied, “Your permission. And it’s due tomorrow!”
I learned that Joe’s sixth-grade class would be taking a field trip to the state capital. “That sounds like fun,” I said. “I’ve always wanted to go there.” “You can’t come!” Joe answered. Puzzled, I asked. “Why not ” “Because you always come on field trips!”
Of course, I always joined his class on field trips. Being a chaperone (监护人) on a field trip is one of the advantages that comes with being a mom, a vacation day in a career that offers few opportunities for a change of scenery. “You don’t want me to be a chaperone ” “Give someone else’s mom a chance,” he suggested. What was surprising was how much I minded being so impolitely removed from the short list of willing chaperones by my own son.
When Joe was in kindergarten, his class planned a pretend trip to Norway. The day before the trip, Joe woke up not feeling well.
After learning that he didn’t have a fever, I asked, “You don’t want to miss getting ready for the trip to Norway, do you ” “I guess not,” he said.
But when I picked him up at the end of the day, the teacher whispered, “Joe got a little upset today.” “What happened ” “He doesn’t want to go to Norway without you.” So that was what had been bothering my 5-year-old. He thought his class was really flying to Norway on their wooden chairs in their paper airplane. He believed those passports and tickets he and his classmates had been making were the real deal.
Preadolescence fell upon my family as my husband and I found ourselves preparing for our son’s upcoming teen years with the same trepidation as someone about to climb an ice-covered mountain wearing high heels.
Joe needed to take a field trip without me accompanying him. And I needed to let him. I’m glad he doesn’t need me all the time.
1. What did the author really mind
A. The additional responsibilities as a mom.
B. Being asked by her son to sign a permission.
C. Having missed the chance to visit the state capital.
D. Being denied rudely by her son as a chaperone.
2. What does the underlined word “trepidation” in Paragraph 7 probably mean
A. Excitement. B. Nervousness.
C. Expectation. D. Determination.
3. What did the author realize about Joe at last

C. He was becoming less dependent. D. He was unwilling to obey rules.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C

(就像某人穿着高跟鞋要爬一座冰雪覆盖的山。)”可知，某人穿着高跟鞋即将爬上冰雪覆盖的高山时，是种紧张不安的心情。A. Excitement兴奋；B. Nervousness紧张；C. Expectation期望；D. Determination决定。故选B项。

Exercise helps to keep us in good health. Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of proper physical activity every week. Many people exercise for a few minutes every day or every other day. So, getting 150 minutes every week is easy.
But what about those times when you are sick If you do not feel well, should you keep following your exercise habit Following are the answers from health experts.
Edward R. Laskowski is a doctor at the Mayo Clinic. He and other experts have a general rule about exercising when you are sick. It is usually fine to exercise properly (not hard), he explains, if your symptoms are all “above the neck”. These signs may include a runny nose, sneezing (打喷嚏) or a sore throat.
Geralyn Coopersmith, a physical fitness trainer who has written several books on exercise offers similar advice. However, both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appears “below the neck”. Pay special attention to symptoms such as chest congestion (胸闷), bad cough or pain in the stomach.
There are other symptoms that can tell you to avoid exercise. They include a higher than normal body temperature, a sense of feeling very tired, and widespread muscle pain.
Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest listening to your body. If you feel really bad, take a break and let your body rest. If you don’t feel too bad, these experts both suggest cutting down the amount of exercise. For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk instead.
4. How long should people do exercise according to doctors
A. No less than 150 minutes a week. B. At least 150 minutes each day.
C. At least a few minutes every day. D. About 150 minutes every other day.

When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance，the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception(视角) that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
7. According to paragraph 1, students ________.
A. regard music as a way of entertainment
B. disagree with their parents on education
C. view music as an overlooked subject
D. prefer the arts to science
8. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to ________.
A. compare it with rock music
B. show music identifies a society
C. introduce American musical traditions
D. prove music influences people’s lifestyles
9. According to the passage, the arts and science ________.
A. approach the world from different angles
B. explore different phenomena of the world
C. express people’s feeling in different ways
D. explain what it means to be human differently
10. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Music education deserves more attention.
B. Music should be of top education priority.
C. Music is an effective communication tool.
D. Music education makes students more imaginative.
【答案】7. A 8. B 9. A 10. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。本文介绍了作者认为艺术教育尤其是音乐教育是相当重要和必须的，作者认为艺术尤其是音乐是人类表达情感的重要方式，人们应加强音乐教育。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段it is viewed as entertainment可知，音乐被视为是一种娱乐。故选A。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句It gives us identity as a society可知，作者以爵士乐为例，来展示音乐赋予了我们作为一个社会人的身份。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。从第三段可知，作者认为自然科学揭示事物规律，艺术探索同一现象的情感，二者从不同角度探索发现我们的世界。故选A。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段最后一句So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize可知，本文主要讲述让人们对音乐教育的给予更多地关注。故选A。

【答案】 ①. was ②. to ③. blame

44. Last week, his carelessness ________________ (导致) his failing the exam. (根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】led to##contributed to##resulted in
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和时态。句意：上周，他的粗心导致他考试不及格。根据汉语提示“导致”可知，空格处涉及固定短语“lead to”，意为“导致”，也可用“contribute to”或“result in”表示“导致”，根据句中“Last week”可知，句子陈述的是过去发生的事，应用一般过去时，“lead”的过去式为“led”，“contribute”的过去式为“contributed”，“result”的过去式为“resulted”。故填led to/contributed to/resulted in。
45. We should pay attention to small details. This can guarantee to succeed in the end. (用定语从句合并句子)
【答案】We should pay attention to small details, which can guarantee to succeed in the end.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我们应该注意小细节，这能保证最终取得成功。分析句子可知，原句中第二句中的主语“This”指代前一句内容，故可将第二句改写为非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整句内容，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导，故答案为We should pay attention to small details, which can guarantee to succeed in the end.
46. I didn’t totally understand the importance of passing kindness until I was helped by strangers. (对划线部分进行强调)
【答案】It was not until I was helped by strangers that I totally understood the importance of passing kindness.
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句。句意：直到有陌生人帮助我，我才完全明白传递善意的重要性。分析句子结构，本句为包含时间状语从句的复合句，根据汉语提示可知要求对时间状语从句not until I was helped by strangers进行强调，根据强调句的相关知识，强调句的结构为：It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他部分，所以需将时间状语从句提前至被强调部分并使用that连接，其他部分不变，故本句改写为：It was not until I was helped by strangers that I totally understood the importance of passing kindness.
47. 体育节之所以成功，是因为每个班都在努力训练为这次盛会做准备。(用名词性从句翻译)
【答案】The reason why the Sports festival is a success is that every class is training hard to prepare for the big event.
or What made the Sports Meet successful was that every class had been training hard in preparation for the big event.
【解析】

The Right Thing
My mother worked as a housekeeper and she was often given used toys as well as many other goodies by her clients. My elder sister and I always loved sharing the recycled books and board games brought home by my beloved mom, which we considered great gifts life presented us.
The long-awaited Christmas finally approached. One December day, an old model toy car arrived in the load of goods. It was as long as my forearm and took both hands to lift. My sister didn’t want it, so it was all mine. I immediately set down to wiping it clean and polishing it to a bright candy-apple red. It turned to be a thing of beauty, and I became overjoyed at possessing it. My elder sister was amazed at the newly-polished, refreshing toy car, with a hint of regret and envy in her eyes.
As was planned, our relatives from France came to visit us that Christmas. It was a time when the family bond got strengthened. I shared the prized toy car with Alex, my young French cousin. Eyes glued to it, he fell in love with the wonderful, shiny red automobile the instant he saw it. It was a rare moment to see him feeling so relieved and happy. He’d been unlucky so far in life, suffering severe, life-threatening illnesses as a child, leaving him mentally and physically stuck and the family starved of cash. Of course, such lovely toys like my dear model car were unreachable dreams for him.
Seeing Alex’s consuming thrill brought by the red car, I was seized by immense joy as well. But contrary to Alex’s excitement, a voice inside me constantly reminded, “Watch out! He’d keep it for himself.”, which got me faintly worried. I followed my cousin for fear of something.
My mother also noticed Alex’s fondness for the car. Approaching me, she asked gently in a low voice, “Would you like to give it to Alex ”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Giving or keeping I struggled with myself.

In the moment of parting, my model car went with Alex.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Giving or keeping I struggled with myself. Giving it Hardly could I imagine life without the model car! After all, it was my most precious treasure, which I had been proud of. My heart kept aching at the prospect of giving it away. Nope! I shook my head determinedly. Glancing at my mother’s expectant eyes, I couldn’t help sobbing. Keeping it Definitely, it would otherwise upset Alex. Torn between the two tough choices, I was totally at a loss. Nevertheless, deep down, I could feel my affection to Alex. Yep! I resolved to do the right thing.
In the moment of parting, my model car went with Alex. Though I was crushed to see it go, my heart sang when I saw his beaming face as he tightly clutched it. Seeing the thumbs-up from my mother and sister, I did swell with relief, pride and joy, for I knew it was not a gift; to some extent, it was our concern and love for him. Plus, sharing the model car also strengthened our bond, which, I was fully convinced, would always uplift him. An effort made for the happiness of others lifted us above ourselves as well.

A
“You need to sign this,” my son Joe informed me. “What is it ” I asked. Rolling his eyes with a sense of impatience, Joe replied, “Your permission. And it’s due tomorrow!”
I learned that Joe’s sixth-grade class would be taking a field trip to the state capital. “That sounds like fun,” I said. “I’ve always wanted to go there.” “You can’t come!” Joe answered. Puzzled, I asked. “Why not ” “Because you always come on field trips!”
Of course, I always joined his class on field trips. Being a chaperone (监护人) on a field trip is one of the advantages that comes with being a mom, a vacation day in a career that offers few opportunities for a change of scenery. “You don’t want me to be a chaperone ” “Give someone else’s mom a chance,” he suggested. What was surprising was how much I minded being so impolitely removed from the short list of willing chaperones by my own son.
When Joe was in kindergarten, his class planned a pretend trip to Norway. The day before the trip, Joe woke up not feeling well.
After learning that he didn’t have a fever, I asked, “You don’t want to miss getting ready for the trip to Norway, do you ” “I guess not,” he said.
But when I picked him up at the end of the day, the teacher whispered, “Joe got a little upset today.” “What happened ” “He doesn’t want to go to Norway without you.” So that was what had been bothering my 5-year-old. He thought his class was really flying to Norway on their wooden chairs in their paper airplane. He believed those passports and tickets he and his classmates had been making were the real deal.
Preadolescence fell upon my family as my husband and I found ourselves preparing for our son’s upcoming teen years with the same trepidation as someone about to climb an ice-covered mountain wearing high heels
Joe needed to take a field trip without me accompanying him. And I needed to let him. I’m glad he doesn’t need me all the time.
1. What did the author really mind
A. The additional responsibilities as a mom.
B. Being asked by her son to sign a permission.
C. Having missed the chance to visit the state capital.
D. Being denied rudely by her son as a chaperone.
2. What does the underlined word “trepidation” in Paragraph 7 probably mean
A. Excitement. B. Nervousness.
C Expectation. D. Determination.
3. What did the author realize about Joe at last
A. He hated being controlled by parents. B. He was longing for his parents’ love.
C. He was becoming less dependent. D. He was unwilling to obey rules.
B
Exercise helps to keep us in good health. Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of proper physical activity every week. Many people exercise for a few minutes every day or every other day. So, getting 150 minutes every week is easy.
But what about those times when you are sick If you do not feel well, should you keep following your exercise habit Following are the answers from health experts.
Edward R. Laskowski is a doctor at the Mayo Clinic. He and other experts have a general rule about exercising when you are sick. It is usually fine to exercise properly (not hard), he explains, if your symptoms are all “above the neck”. These signs may include a runny nose, sneezing (打喷嚏) or a sore throat.
Geralyn Coopersmith, a physical fitness trainer who has written several books on exercise offers similar advice. However, both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appears “below the neck”. Pay special attention to symptoms such as chest congestion (胸闷), bad cough or pain in the stomach.
There are other symptoms that can tell you to avoid exercise. They include a higher than normal body temperature, a sense of feeling very tired, and widespread muscle pain.
Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest listening to your body. If you feel really bad, take a break and let your body rest. If you don’t feel too bad, these experts both suggest cutting down the amount of exercise. For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk instead.
4. How long should people do exercise according to doctors
A. No less than 150 minutes a week. B. At least 150 minutes each day.
C. At least a few minutes every day. D. About 150 minutes every other day.
5. People with symptoms “below the neck” are advised to ______.
A. walk instead of run B. stop exercise
C. ignore the symptoms D. do less exercise
6. What will the writer be likely to agree with
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Nothing seek, nothing find.
C. Put your heart into exercise. D. Act according to your abilities.
C
When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance，the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception(视角) that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
7. According to paragraph 1, students ________.
A. regard music as a way of entertainment
B. disagree with their parents on education
C. view music as an overlooked subject
D. prefer the arts to science
8. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to ________.
A. compare it with rock music
B. show music identifies a society
C. introduce American musical traditions
D. prove music influences people’s lifestyles
9. According to the passage, the arts and science ________.
A. approach the world from different angles
B. explore different phenomena of the world
C. express people’s feeling in different ways
D. explain what it means to be human differently
10. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Music education deserves more attention.
B. Music should be of top education priority.
C. Music is an effective communication tool.
D. Music education makes students more imaginative.

The Right Thing
My mother worked as a housekeeper and she was often given used toys as well as many other goodies by her clients. My elder sister and I always loved sharing the recycled books and board games brought home by my beloved mom, which we considered great gifts life presented us.
The long-awaited Christmas finally approached. One December day, an old model toy car arrived in the load of goods. It was as long as my forearm and took both hands to lift. My sister didn’t want it, so it was all mine. I immediately set down to wiping it clean and polishing it to a bright candy-apple red. It turned to be a thing of beauty, and I became overjoyed at possessing it. My elder sister was amazed at the newly-polished, refreshing toy car, with a hint of regret and envy in her eyes.
As was planned, our relatives from France came to visit us that Christmas. It was a time when the family bond got strengthened. I shared the prized toy car with Alex, my young French cousin. Eyes glued to it, he fell in love with the wonderful, shiny red automobile the instant he saw it. It was a rare moment to see him feeling so relieved and happy. He’d been unlucky so far in life, suffering severe, life-threatening illnesses as a child, leaving him mentally and physically stuck and the family starved of cash. Of course, such lovely toys like my dear model car were unreachable dreams for him.
Seeing Alex’s consuming thrill brought by the red car, I was seized by immense joy as well. But contrary to Alex’s excitement, a voice inside me constantly reminded, “Watch out! He’d keep it for himself.”, which got me faintly worried. I followed my cousin for fear of something.
My mother also noticed Alex’s fondness for the car. Approaching me, she asked gently in a low voice, “Would you like to give it to Alex ”
