I try to be a good father.Cook my kids good dishes，and take them to photo shoots.But compared with Dick Hoyt，I suck.Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son，Rick，in marathons.
This love story began in Winchester，Mass.，43 years ago，when Rick was strangled （缠住）by the umbilical cord（脐带）during birth，leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs （四肢）. "He'll be a vegetable（植物人）the rest of his life，" doctors told Dick and his wife，Judy，when Rick was nine months old. "Put him in an institution." But the Hoyts weren't buying it.They noticed the way Rick's eyes followed them around the room.
When Rick was 11，they took him to the engineering department at Tufts University.Equipped with a computer，Rick was finally able to communicate.After a high school classmate was paralyzed（使瘫痪）in an accident，and the school organized a charity run for him，Rick said， "Dad，I want to do that." How was Dick，a man who never ran more than a mile at a time，going to push his son five miles？Still，he tried.That day changed Rick's life. "Dad，" he typed， "when we were running，it felt like I wasn't disabled anymore!"
That sentence changed Dick's life.He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could.They even decided to try marathons. "No way，" Dick was told by a race official.They weren't quite a single runner，and they weren't quite a wheelchair competitor.For a few years，Dick and Rick joined the massive field and ran anyway.In 1983，they ran another marathon so fast that they made the qualifying time for the Boston Marathon the following year.
Now they've done 212 triathlons and 85 marathons. " My dad is the Father of the Century，" Rick typed.
5.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean？ ______
A. The Hoyts didn't believe it was true.
B. The Hoyts couldn't afford any institution.
C. The Hoyts couldn't deal with the situation.
D. The Hoyts had no money for their son's treatment.
6.What's discussed in the third paragraph？ ______

B. How Rick started running.
C. Why running changed Rick's life.
D. How Rick communicated with others.
7.They got the chance to join the 1984 Boston Marathon because ______ .
A. they ran a marathon very fast
B. they got support from a charity
C. they met a sympathetic race official
D. they had become very famous in the process

Smoking is so alluring（诱惑的），pleasurable for some and perhaps the worst thing that you can possibly do to your body.So，producers made electronic cigarettes as a safer smoking choice - safer than tobacco（烟草制品）.Although e-cigarettes contain the drug nicotine like cigarettes，they do not use tobacco and you do not light them，They are powered by battery（电池）.
However，if e-cigarettes are so safe，why has the United States Center for Disease Control（CDC） seen an increase in telephone calls about e-cigarette poisonings？
The answer is children.Most of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the devices（装置）.In the period of one month this year，the Center said 215 people called the Center with e-cigarette concerns.More than half of these calls were for children aged five and younger.The devices had made them sick.
Tim McAfee is director of the Center's Office on Smoking and Health.He says the problem is regulation — the U.S.federal government does not control e-cigarettes even though they contain liquid nicotine.Mr.MeAfee adds that liquid nicotine is a well-known danger.Mr.MeAfee explains that nicotine poisoning happens when it gets into the skin，gets into the eyes or is swallowed.It can cause stomach pain or a sense of unbalance.And too much nicotine can kill.
Tim McAfee says e-cigarettes do not create the level of risk to people that tobacco products do.He notes that almost 500，000 Americans die each year from cigarettes. "So，cigarettes are the winner in that contest." E-cigarettes do not contain hundreds of harmful chemicals that are found in real cigarettes.So，the U.S.Surgeon General Boris D.Lushniak has suggested that e-cigarettes may be a useful tool for adults trying to end their tobacco use.
But Tim MeAfee worries that teenagers may think electronic cigarettes are harmless.They could become addicted to the nicotine and then start smoking real cigarettes.In other words，he fears that fake（假的）e-cigarettes could be a"gateway"to the real thing for young people.
9.What do the producers think of e-cigarettes？ ______
A. Cheaper. B. Safer. C. Dangerous. D. Expensive.
10.We can learn from the passage that ______ .
A. the CDC wants to develop a better type of e-cigarettes.
B. the U.S.federal government is against the use of e-cigarettes.
C. Boris D Lushniak thinks e-cigarettes may contribute to giving up smoking.
D. Boris D Lushniak is a heavy smoker.
11.What is Tim McAfees opinion about smoking？ ______
A. He strongly claims that regulations should be made to ban smoking.
B. He is convinced that e-cigarette is a useful tool.
C. Smoking e-cigarettes can make a person sick.
D. He is concerned about the teens using e-cigarettes.
12.What's the author's attitude towards e-cigarettes？ ______
A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
D
According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed (安装) has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven't given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they'll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
"Solar projects need to be good neighbors," says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE) project. "They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy." InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to "low-impact" solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. "These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that's going on in the landscape," says Macknick.
13.What do solar developers often ignore
A. The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B. The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D. The most recent advances in solar technology.
14.What does InSPIRE aim to do
A. Improve the productivity of local farms.
B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
15.What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To protect pollinators. B. To restrict solar development.
C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy.
16.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Pollinators:To Leave or to Stay
B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C. In SPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture
D. Solar Farms: A New Development

48.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。
Strange Footprints in the Snow Jonathan woke up and looked around.For a moment,he wasn't sure where he was.Then he remembered.He and his sister,Julie,were visiting Aunt Gwen.They had spent yesterday helping Aunt Gwen clean her basement.Today they would have time to play.
He looked out the window.Fresh snow covered the ground.He could hardly wait to go outside.Jonathan dressed and hurried downstairs to the kitchen.
"Hi,sleepyhead," said Aunt Gwen. "Julie has already eaten her oatmeal.She's outside."
"That's where I'm going as soon as I finish breakfast," Jonathan said.
A short time later,he zipped up his coat,put on his boots,and walked out the front door.The sun made the snow sparkle.He looked around.He didn't see his sister,but he saw something else.Strange footprints in the snow tracked across Aunt Gwen's yard.
"They're way too big to be Julie's.They look like they belong to a dinosaur," Jonathan said.Then he added, "But that's silly.Dinosaurs are not around anymore."
He looked closer：The footprints were the shape of a very large oval（椭圆）with a stem. "Maybe they belong to an elephant or a hippo that escaped from the zoo," he thought.He held his breath and listened.He didn't hear anything.
He remembered a book he'd seen earlier on Aunt Gwen's shelf.It was a book about animal tracks.He dashed inside to get it.The book had pictures of animals and the tracks they made.He turned the pages one by one,but none of the photos looked like the footprints in Aunt Gwen's yard.
He stared at those footprints again.An animal that made such big tracks would have to be heavy.Its tracks should sink far down into the snow.Yet these footprints seemed to skim across the top.
How can that be？He wondered.
Jonathan noticed something else.The tracks never left Aunt Gwen's yard.Instead,they turned and went around the house. "Maybe the animal is still here," he whispered.
Quietly,he began following the footprints.__________
That was when he saw her - his sister,Julie.__________

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
13~16.【答案】B、C、A、D
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用一种更加友好的方式建立一种新型的太阳能农场，这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫，从而促进农业的发展。
1. 根据第二段中的Often, they'll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.（通常，他们最终会用小石头填满该地区，并使用化学物质来控制杂草。结果是，许多社区，特别是在农业地区，将太阳能农场视为土壤的破坏者。）可知，太阳能开发者采用不环保的方式处理太阳能板安装后产生的问题，导致人们把太阳能农场看作是土壤的破坏者，由此可以推断，开发者在安装太阳能板后忽略了其带来的负面影响。故选B。
2. 根据第三段中的InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to "low-impact" solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.（InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法，其重点是以对土地更友好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场。）可知，InSPIRE采用有好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场，也就是使得太阳能农场更加环保。故选C。

I try to be a good father.Cook my kids good dishes，and take them to photo shoots.But compared with Dick Hoyt，I suck.Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son，Rick，in marathons.
This love story began in Winchester，Mass.，43 years ago，when Rick was strangled （缠住）by the umbilical cord（脐带）during birth，leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs （四肢）. "He'll be a vegetable（植物人）the rest of his life，" doctors told Dick and his wife，Judy，when Rick was nine months old. "Put him in an institution." But the Hoyts weren't buying it.They noticed the way Rick's eyes followed them around the room.
When Rick was 11，they took him to the engineering department at Tufts University.Equipped with a computer，Rick was finally able to communicate.After a high school classmate was paralyzed（使瘫痪）in an accident，and the school organized a charity run for him，Rick said， "Dad，I want to do that." How was Dick，a man who never ran more than a mile at a time，going to push his son five miles？Still，he tried.That day changed Rick's life. "Dad，" he typed， "when we were running，it felt like I wasn't disabled anymore!"
That sentence changed Dick's life.He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could.They even decided to try marathons. "No way，" Dick was told by a race official.They weren't quite a single runner，and they weren't quite a wheelchair competitor.For a few years，Dick and Rick joined the massive field and ran anyway.In 1983，they ran another marathon so fast that they made the qualifying time for the Boston Marathon the following year.
Now they've done 212 triathlons and 85 marathons. " My dad is the Father of the Century，" Rick typed.
5.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean？ ______

Smoking is so alluring（诱惑的），pleasurable for some and perhaps the worst thing that you can possibly do to your body.So，producers made electronic cigarettes as a safer smoking choice - safer than tobacco（烟草制品）.Although e-cigarettes contain the drug nicotine like cigarettes，they do not use tobacco and you do not light them，They are powered by battery（电池）.
However，if e-cigarettes are so safe，why has the United States Center for Disease Control（CDC） seen an increase in telephone calls about e-cigarette poisonings？
The answer is children.Most of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the devices（装置）.In the period of one month this year，the Center said 215 people called the Center with e-cigarette concerns.More than half of these calls were for children aged five and younger.The devices had made them sick.
Tim McAfee is director of the Center's Office on Smoking and Health.He says the problem is regulation — the U.S.federal government does not control e-cigarettes even though they contain liquid nicotine.Mr.MeAfee adds that liquid nicotine is a well-known danger.Mr.MeAfee explains that nicotine poisoning happens when it gets into the skin，gets into the eyes or is swallowed.It can cause stomach pain or a sense of unbalance.And too much nicotine can kill.
Tim McAfee says e-cigarettes do not create the level of risk to people that tobacco products do.He notes that almost 500，000 Americans die each year from cigarettes. "So，cigarettes are the winner in that contest." E-cigarettes do not contain hundreds of harmful chemicals that are found in real cigarettes.So，the U.S.Surgeon General Boris D.Lushniak has suggested that e-cigarettes may be a useful tool for adults trying to end their tobacco use.
But Tim MeAfee worries that teenagers may think electronic cigarettes are harmless.They could become addicted to the nicotine and then start smoking real cigarettes.In other words，he fears that fake（假的）e-cigarettes could be a"gateway"to the real thing for young people.
9.What do the producers think of e-cigarettes？ ______
A. Cheaper. B. Safer. C. Dangerous. D. Expensive.
10.We can learn from the passage that ______ .
A. the CDC wants to develop a better type of e-cigarettes.
B. the U.S.federal government is against the use of e-cigarettes.
C. Boris D Lushniak thinks e-cigarettes may contribute to giving up smoking.
D. Boris D Lushniak is a heavy smoker.
11.What is Tim McAfees opinion about smoking？ ______
A. He strongly claims that regulations should be made to ban smoking.
B. He is convinced that e-cigarette is a useful tool.
C. Smoking e-cigarettes can make a person sick.
D. He is concerned about the teens using e-cigarettes.
12.What's the author's attitude towards e-cigarettes？ ______
A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
D
According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed (安装) has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven't given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they'll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
"Solar projects need to be good neighbors," says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE) project. "They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy." InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to "low-impact" solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. "These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that's going on in the landscape," says Macknick.
13.What do solar developers often ignore
A. The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B. The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D. The most recent advances in solar technology.
14.What does InSPIRE aim to do
A. Improve the productivity of local farms.
B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
15.What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To protect pollinators. B. To restrict solar development.
C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy.
16.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Pollinators:To Leave or to Stay
B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C. In SPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture
D. Solar Farms: A New Development

48.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。
Strange Footprints in the Snow Jonathan woke up and looked around.For a moment,he wasn't sure where he was.Then he remembered.He and his sister,Julie,were visiting Aunt Gwen.They had spent yesterday helping Aunt Gwen clean her basement.Today they would have time to play.
He looked out the window.Fresh snow covered the ground.He could hardly wait to go outside.Jonathan dressed and hurried downstairs to the kitchen.
"Hi,sleepyhead," said Aunt Gwen. "Julie has already eaten her oatmeal.She's outside."
"That's where I'm going as soon as I finish breakfast," Jonathan said.
A short time later,he zipped up his coat,put on his boots,and walked out the front door.The sun made the snow sparkle.He looked around.He didn't see his sister,but he saw something else.Strange footprints in the snow tracked across Aunt Gwen's yard.
"They're way too big to be Julie's.They look like they belong to a dinosaur," Jonathan said.Then he added, "But that's silly.Dinosaurs are not around anymore."
He looked closer：The footprints were the shape of a very large oval（椭圆）with a stem. "Maybe they belong to an elephant or a hippo that escaped from the zoo," he thought.He held his breath and listened.He didn't hear anything.
He remembered a book he'd seen earlier on Aunt Gwen's shelf.It was a book about animal tracks.He dashed inside to get it.The book had pictures of animals and the tracks they made.He turned the pages one by one,but none of the photos looked like the footprints in Aunt Gwen's yard.
He stared at those footprints again.An animal that made such big tracks would have to be heavy.Its tracks should sink far down into the snow.Yet these footprints seemed to skim across the top.
How can that be？He wondered.
Jonathan noticed something else.The tracks never left Aunt Gwen's yard.Instead,they turned and went around the house. "Maybe the animal is still here," he whispered.
Quietly,he began following the footprints.__________
That was when he saw her - his sister,Julie.__________

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
13~16.【答案】B、C、A、D
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用一种更加友好的方式建立一种新型的太阳能农场，这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫，从而促进农业的发展。
1. 根据第二段中的Often, they'll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.（通常，他们最终会用小石头填满该地区，并使用化学物质来控制杂草。结果是，许多社区，特别是在农业地区，将太阳能农场视为土壤的破坏者。）可知，太阳能开发者采用不环保的方式处理太阳能板安装后产生的问题，导致人们把太阳能农场看作是土壤的破坏者，由此可以推断，开发者在安装太阳能板后忽略了其带来的负面影响。故选B。
2. 根据第三段中的InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to "low-impact" solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.（InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法，其重点是以对土地更友好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场。）可知，InSPIRE采用有好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场，也就是使得太阳能农场更加环保。故选C。
3. 根据第四段中的Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.（超过28个州通过了与传粉媒介栖息地保护和农药使用有关的法律。）可知，这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关，所以这些法律的目的是保护授粉者。故选A。
4. 根据最后一段中的Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.（在过去的几年里，许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能电池板下的空间改造成各种传粉媒介的庇护所，从而改善了土壤并减少了碳排放。）可知，现在的太阳能农场在过去的几年里已经得到了很大的发展，更重要的是太阳能农场也变得更加的环保，这将是未来发展农业的新趋势，再结合全文对太阳农场的发展过程的介绍可以判断，本文主题是介绍太阳能农场。故选D。
17~21.【答案】D、C、E、G、B

（4）考查时态和语态。句意：这是迄今为止建造的最长的城墙，有1500英里长。根据语境可知，此处是指到现在为止是最长的城墙。"ever"常用于现在完成时。城墙与动词build二者被动关系，此处要用现在完成时的被动，故填has been built。
（5）考查名词。句意：这是迄今为止建造的最长的城墙，有1500英里长。根据句意此处是指在长度上，英语中会名介词in+名词构成形容词，表示长度。因此空格处要用名词形式，故填length。
（6）考查定语从句。句意：沿着城墙有瞭望塔，士兵们在那里提防危险。句中的watch towers是先行词，在后面的非限制性定语从句中做地点状语，定语从句中先行词在从句中作地点状语要用where，故填where。

（9）考查副词。句意：如果我们现在建这样一道城墙，我们将用现代机器。然而，古代的人必须用手工建墙。根据句意可知此处表示转折关系。注意大写开头，故答案为However。
（10）考查表语从句。句意：长城之所以每年都吸引着来自世界各地的游客，是因为它代表了中国古代最高的智慧。分析句子可知，系动词is后是表语从句，名词从句中缺少连词，分析表语从句可知，表语从句的句意完整，不缺少成分，只缺少一个起引导词作用的连词，that在表语从句中只起引导语的作用，故填that。
