I was 11 years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house that I grew up in rapidly burn to the ground.
A few minutes earlier I had been in bed when a scream woke me up. My grandma’s bedroom was just next to mine and my brother’s. A fire had broken out there and awakened her. Hearing her, my brother jumped into action, running from room to room quickly waking everyone in the house. Before we could do anything the fire destroyed it. We all had just made it outside when the flames (火焰) took hold of every room.
I stood there shaking while the fire destroyed my books, clothes, and toys. I watched helplessly while my mom cried and my dad sighed. I wondered what was going to happen to us because we had lost all our things.
As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time: The things that mattered were not things. I saw my brother running around to get help. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other’s arms and my mom holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Our lives would continue without the”stuff” that was burning. We would all live to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.
4. Who first found the house was on fire
A. The author. B. The brother. C. The grandma. D. The parents.
5. What was the author thinking about when seeing everything destroyed
A. He was wondering how the fire got started.
B. He was worried about their life after the fire.
C. He was mad about losing his clothes and toys.
D. He felt lucky that they were saved by the firefighters.
6. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in paragraph 4
A. That their life and family matter most.
B. That his family was lucky enough to escape.
C. That family and pets both meant a lot to him.
D. That the things burned in the fire didn’t matter at all.
7. Which of the following quotes is the author most likely to agree with
A. “Keep calm and carry on.” —the Ministry of Information, UK
B. “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” —Friedrich Nietzsche
C. “You’ll be alive. That’s what matters. Enjoy what you have.” —Richelle Mead
D. “Home is where you are loved the most and act the worst.” —Marjorie Pay Hinckley
C
Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register (登记) the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an ID number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. Emails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated (及时了解) about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend (趋势) among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than 135 countries.
8. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph
A. To explain what they are. B. To introduce BookCrossing.
C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A The book. B. An adventure. C. A public place. D. The ID number.
10. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it
A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.
C. Pass it on to another reader. D. Mail it back to its owner.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. A new reading habit B. A social activity of exchanging books
C. A new trend of online reading D. A website that connects people through books
D
The meaning of silence can be different among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show uneasiness or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore, attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts (冲突) among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority (权威) rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to understand the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
12. What does the author say about silence in conversations
A. It implies anger. B. It promotes friendship.
C. It depends on culture. D. It is based on context.
13. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought
A. The Chinese. B. The French. C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.
14. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence
A. Let it continue as the patient wants. B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate (评估) its harm to patients. D. Make use of its healing effects.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Sound and Silence B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans D. Speech Is Silver, Silence Is Gold

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register (登记) the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an ID number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. Emails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated (及时了解) about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend (趋势) among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than 135 countries.
8. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph
A. To explain what they are. B. To introduce BookCrossing.
C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The book. B. An adventure. C. A public place. D. The ID number.
10. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it
A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.
C. Pass it on to another reader. D. Mail it back to its owner.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. A new reading habit B. A social activity of exchanging books
C. A new trend of online reading D. A website that connects people through books
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了网站所进行的分享图书的目的以及具体过程。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.(阅读可以是一种社会活动。想想那些属于读书小组的人。他们选择要读的书，然后见面讨论。现在，网站颠覆了传统的书友会理念。)”可知，作者在第一段提到读书也是一种社交活动，那些参加读书小组的人经常在一起阅读讨论所读内容，增强相互之间的理解，接着在最后一句提出，由此可推知，作者提到读书小组是为了介绍网站。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“BookCrossing provides an ID number to stick inside the book.(BookCrossing提供了一个身份证号码，可以贴在书里。)”和划线词所在句子“Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.(然后这个人把书放在一个公共场所，希望这本书能有一次冒险，和每一个找到它的新读者一起远行。)”可知，it指代上文中提到的同一事物“the book”。故选A。
【10题详解】

The meaning of silence can be different among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show uneasiness or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore, attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts (冲突) among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority (权威) rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to understand the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
12 What does the author say about silence in conversations
A. It implies anger. B. It promotes friendship.
C. It depends on culture. D. It is based on context.
13. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought
A. The Chinese. B. The French. C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.
14. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence
A. Let it continue as the patient wants. B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate (评估) its harm to patients. D. Make use of its healing effects.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Sound and Silence B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans D. Speech Is Silver, Silence Is Gold
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了沉默在不同的文化中所代表的含义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The meaning of silence can be different among cultural groups.(在不同的文化群体中，沉默的含义是不同的)”和“Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore, attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.(沉默可能被一些文化群体视为极其不舒服；因此，可以尝试用对话来填补每一个空白。其他文化群体的人看重沉默，认为沉默是理解一个人需求的必要条件)”可知，作者认为沉默是有文化属性的，在不同的文化中沉默的含义不同，故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.(许多印第安人重视沉默，认为这是人与人之间交流的基本组成部分，就像一些传统的中国人和泰国人一样。因此，当一个来自这些文化的人正在讲话时，突然停下来，可能是在暗示这个人希望听者在继续之前考虑一下他说了什么。在这些文化中，沉默意味着需要反思)”可知，中国人会把沉默看作是需要仔细思考，故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.(了解沉默的治疗价值的护士可以利用这种理解来帮助照顾来自自己和其他文化的病人)”可知，作者建议护士利用沉默的治愈价值，故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“The meaning of silence can be different among cultural groups.(在不同的文化群体中，沉默的含义是不同的)”可知，文章主要介绍了沉默在不同的文化中所代表的含义。B项“沉默是什么意思”为最佳标题，故选B。

44. Obviously
45. himself
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国古代著名的旅行作家和地理学家徐霞客的生平。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：作为徐霞客的故乡，江阴已成为国内外游客的现代化旅游目的地。名词hometown后有定语“of Xu Xiake”修饰，因此用定冠词the限定名词，故填the。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：但古代冒险家徐霞客仍然是人们来这里的主要原因。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导限制性定语从句，reason是先行词，指原因，从句中缺少状语，因此使用关系副词why引导定语从句，故填why。
【38题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：至今，《徐霞客游记》已广为传阅。分析句子可知，read是句子的谓语动词，句中有时间状语So far，应使用现在完成时态，read与主语the Travel Diary of Xu Xiake之间是被动关系，谓语动词应用现在完成时的被动语态，又因主语是专有名词，是单数概念，所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式，故填has been read。
【39题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：徐霞客用了30多年的时间走遍了16个省份，详细描述了他的探索。分析句子结构可知，describe在句子中不作为谓语动词使用，Xu Xiake发出describe的动作，二者之间为主动关系，因此使用describe的现在分词作状语，故填describing。
【40题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：他的日记属于旅行文学的范畴，它不仅以旅行为主题，而且还以描写作者的经历而闻名。固定短语known for：以……闻名，故填known。
【41题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：他的日记属于旅行文学的范畴，它不仅以旅行为主题，而且还以描写作者的经历而闻名。作者的“经历”是复数概念，experience应该用复数形式，故填experiences。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：徐霞客有一个富有的父亲，他的父亲喜欢自然胜过权力，尤其是风景胜过官职。分析句子可知，prefer是定语从句中的谓语动词，与主语who即a wealthy father之间是主动关系，讲述过去的事情，应使用一般过去时态，故填preferred。
43题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：徐霞客有一个富有的父亲，他的父亲喜欢自然胜过权力，尤其是风景胜过官职。in particular：尤其，故填in。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：显然，他喜欢读有关中国山川的书。根据句意，提示词在句中作评注性状语，用副词obviously，意为“显然”，句首单词首字母要大写，故填Obviously。
【45题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：这个小孩决定他要自己去看美丽的风景，他长大后终于实现了梦想。反身代词作同位语，故填himself。

That night, I quarreled with my mother, then stormed out of the house. While on the road, I remembered that I did not have any money in my pocket, I did not even take my cell phone with me to make a call home.
At the same time, I went through a noodle shop, and I suddenly felt very hungry. I wished for a bowl of noodles, but I had no money!
The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked, “Hey little girl, you want to eat a bowl ”
“But … but I do not carry money …” I shyly replied.
“Okay, I’ll treat you.” the seller said, “come in, I will cook you a bowl.”
A few minutes later the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces, I cried.
“What is it ” He asked.
“Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!” I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel (残忍的)!!”
The seller sighed, “Girl, why did you think so Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were little, why were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom ”
I was really surprised after hearing that.
Why did I not think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, and my mother has raised me since I was little and I have never felt so, not even a little.

【答案】Just at that moment, many memories came back into my mind. When I was ill she was always the one taking care of me. When I had trouble with my study, she never lost faith in me and encouraged me to keep going. When I arrived home during the weekend, she always prepared my favourite food. All her kindness came back to me. I should be grateful for all she had done for me. I realized that I should return home immediately and say sorry to my mother.
When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired. She must have been looking for me everywhere. I was ready for her anger and shouts. However, before I could apologize, my mother saw me and gently said: “Oh, honey, thank God, you’re back! Come inside.You are probably very hungry I cooked your favorite noodles, come and eat while they are still hot…” No longer able to control myself, I cried in her arms. “I’m sorry, mom, please forgive me.” I whispered to her through tears, extremely ashamed of myself.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因为和妈妈吵架跑了出去。之后她饿了，但是没带钱，幸运的是好心的店主给了她一碗面条，她因为感动而落泪。而店主知道后对她说，“你妈妈从小就照顾你，你为什么不感恩，为什么要伤害你妈妈？”店主的话让作者开始反思自己的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“就在那一刻，许多回忆涌上我的脑海。”可知，第一段可描写作者的回忆，回忆妈妈是如何照顾作者，支持作者的。
②由第二段首句内容“到家时，我看见妈妈坐在餐桌旁，又担心又累。”可知，第二段可描写作者回到家之后妈妈的反应，妈妈没有责怪她，反而在关心作者，作者也因为愧疚向妈妈道歉，希望能得到妈妈的原谅。
