Clara Daly was seated on an Alaska Airlines flight route from Boston to Los Angeles when a flight attendant asked an urgent question over the loudspeaker： "Does anyone on board know American Sign Language " Clara, 15 at the time, pressed the call button. The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. "We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf," she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn't understand what he needed.
Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help with her dyslexia （读写困难）and knew she'd be able to finger spell into the man's palm. So she untied her seat belt, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt by the aisle （过道）seat of Tim Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she signed, "How are you Are you OK " Tim asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat.
She came by again a bit later because Tim wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed a while. "He didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk," Clara says. So for the next hour, that's what they did. She talked about her family and her plans for the future （she wants to be a politician）. Tim told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman.
"Even though Tim couldn't see her, she looked attentively at his face with such kindness," a passenger reported. "Clara was amazing," a flight attendant told Alaska Airlines in a blog interview. "You could tell Tim was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such an angel. " Tim's reaction: "Best trip I've ever had."

C
Who is a genius This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us And who are they
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”
8. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club
A. They’re unfair. B. They’re conservative.
C. They’re objective. D. They’re strict.
9. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs
10. Why are more geniuses known to the public
A. Improved global communication.
B. Less discrimination against women.
C. Acceptance of victors’ concepts.
D. Changes in people’s social positions.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms
C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章由问题“谁是天才 ”引入，论述了世人对天才的狭隘定义，提出事实上“天才”有很多种形式，不要让思维限制了我们的“天才”能力。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“It is said that history is written by victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club-women, or people of a different color or belief-they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.(据说历史是由胜利者书写的，而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时，他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝。)”可知，作者认为那些“胜利者”对进“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的，因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief. Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.(更糟糕的是，研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的。六岁左右，她们开始避免那些据说是“非常非常聪明”的孩子参加的活动。)”可推知，女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响，认为自己不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.(在一个拥有持续的全球交流的联网的世界里，我们随时随地都能看到天才的出现。)”可知，进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，结合文章第一段提出问题“Who is a genius (谁是天才)”和最后一段的“And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, who are able to change the world.(我们看得越多，就越会发现，像性别、种族和阶级这样的社会因素并不能决定天才的外表。正如一位作家所说，未来的天才来自那些具有“智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才。)”可知，天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人，他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。
D
"What kind of rubbish are you " This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has become a special "greeting" among people over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations （条例〉that are required to follow and expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss （投放）it into specific public dustbins. They must do so at specified times, when monitors are present to ensure correct trash-tossing and to ask the nature of one's rubbish. Individuals who fail to follow the regulations face the possibility of fines and worse. They could be punished with fines of up to 200 yuan （ $ 29）. For those who repeat to go against them, the government can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to get bank loans or even buy train tickets.
Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year, more than London's annual output, which is rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift （筛选）through the waste, picking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up.
Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are annoyed by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or harmful, the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules concerning food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bins, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. What they complain most is the short periods for dropping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out； no one wants to look bad.
12. What do we know about the trash-sorting regulations in Shanghai
A. They are the first of their kind. B. They are tied to one's bank account.
C. They have the highest fines. D. They're aided by monitors.
13. Why has Shanghai introduced the trash-sorting regulations
A. There are fewer and fewer trash pickers.
B. It aims to build a new recycling system.
C. It faces more and more serious garbage problems.
D. People throw the rubbish here and there.
14. What makes the residents upset most about the regulations
A. Limited time for tossing the trash.
B. Confusing distinction among the categories of trash.
C. Being fined due to improper behavior.
D Being watched by monitors when throwing the garbage.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. A Good Way of Trash-sorting
B. A New Era of Garbage Classification
C. A Great Time in Dealing with Litter
D. An Effective Solution to Rubbish Problem
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章主要说明了7月1日上海市出台的垃圾分类规定，有望成为我国的一个典范。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“They must do so at specified times, when monitors are present to ensure correct trash-tossing and to ask the nature of one's rubbish.”和最后一段Along with the monitors at the bins, 他们必须在规定的时间这样做，当监督员在场，以确保正确的垃圾投掷和问一个人的垃圾性质。可知他们扔垃圾有人监督。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year, more than London's annual output, which is rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system.The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up.” 上海市政府正在应对一个明显的环境问题。它每年产生900万吨垃圾，比伦敦的年产量还多，并且缺乏回收系统。所以上海出台垃圾分类规定是因为它面临着越来越严重的垃圾问题。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“What they complain most is the short periods for dropping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening.” 他们抱怨最多的是垃圾投放的时间很短，通常是早晚两个小时。可知扔垃圾的时间规定让居民们最不满。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中“On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations that are expected tobe used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate kinds and put it into specific publicbins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure compliance and to inquire into the nature of one's rubbish.”7月1日，该市出台了严格的垃圾分类规定,有望成为我国的一个典范。居民必须将他们的垃圾分成四类,并将其放入特定的公共垃圾箱。他们必须在规定的时间这样做，当监督员在场时,以确保遵守和调查一个人的垃圾的性质。以及文章主要内容围绕着上海垃圾分类规定标志着一个垃圾分类的新时代的开始而展开，B项“A New Era of Garbage Classification。”垃圾分类的新时代符合主旨。故选B项。

Understand and forgive
Step into others’ shoes and understand a situation from another’s perspective, and we’re more likely to handle the situation with objectivity and effectiveness. There will be less conflicts and more delight.
Hate and anger are forms of self-punishment. When you forgive, you’re actually practicing kindness to yourself. Most importantly, learn to forgive yourself. Everyone makes mistakes.___19___.
Keep learning and be a problem solver
Learning keeps us young and olive. When engaging our brains toward productive uses, we’re much more likely to feel delighted and fulfilled.
Delighted people are problem solvers. When facing a challenge in life, they don’t beat themselves up and fail into a depressive state. ___20___. By becoming a problem solver, you’ll build up your self-confidence and your ability to accomplish whatever you set to.

【16题详解】
根据下文the tiny purple flowers on the sidewalk, the beautiful sunset, and the smile in your partner’s eyes.（在人行道上的小小的紫色的花，美丽的夕阳，和在你伙伴眼中的微笑。）可知，要重视你生活中的细节。故选B。
【17题详解】
此空是小标题，应该是短小精悍的祈使句，推知应该在A/B/C中选择。根据本段第一句“无论你什么时候有烦恼，如果你倾向于想象最糟糕的情况，训练自己改变这种趋势。”可知，应该乐观，经常大笑。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上句“乐观肯定能驱动成功和幸福感。”再根据空格下句“要学会在每日的奋斗中寻觅幽默感和笑声。”故推知笑是愤怒或抑郁的最有效治疗。故选D。

根据上文“憎恨和生气是对自我的惩罚。当你释怀的时候，事实上你是在对自己施以善意。最重要的是，学会原谅自己。每个人都犯错。”可知，只有通过我们的错误，我们才慢慢学会如何成为一个更强大，更好的人。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“开心的人是会解决问题的人。在生活中遇到挑战的时候，他们不会自虐，然后变得很消沉。”再根据空格下句“通过成为一个解决问题的人，你将建立你的自信和完成你设定的任何事情的能力。”由此可知，相反，他们会直面挑战，调动全身力量寻找解决办法。Instead表明前后是一种转折关系，故选G。
【点睛】在做七选五时，一定要注意and/instead/but/so/besides/however/furthermore/moreover/in addition/what’s more等词汇、固定结构的运用。它们连接了上下文，起着承上启下的作用。像but（但是）、however（然而），表示转折，这说明前后的内容相反或相对。把握住这一点，做起题来就会得心应手。本题第5小题，根据上文：开心的人是会解决问题的人。在生活中遇到挑战的时候，他们不会自虐，然后变得很消沉。再根据空格下句：通过变成一个解决问题的人，你会建立自己的自信心和下决心要的事情和直面挑战的能力。由此可知，相反，他们会直面挑战，调动全身力量寻找解决办法。Instead表明前后是一种转折关系，故选G。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
“Rick, I’m sorry to say that your mom’s health is failing,” Doctor Carter said over the phone.
“What ” Rick panicked. “But my mom was okay until last week. How could it happen ”
“We had also thought she was improving, but her body is no longer responding to the treatment. In fact, I don’t think she has much time, so I have to inform you,” Mr. Carter said before hanging up.
Rick’s heart dropped to the ground. His mom was dying, and he had to get to her. Rick dropped everything and got into his car immediately.
To see his mom as soon as possible, Rick chose a shorter path through the freeway that would help him get there faster. Unfortunately, he completely ignored the fuel indicator—which implied that his car was about to run out of gas-until he was already on the highway with no one in sight. He managed to park the car by the side of the road.
Rick checked his phone for the nearest fuel station, and it was miles away. However, he noticed a convenience store nearby. It wasn’t a long walk, so he decided to ask for help there.
When he arrived there 15 minutes later, he saw two men exiting the store. He quickly went up to them. “Hey, man,” he said. “Could you spare me some of your gas I’m on my way to see my mother. She’s sick, but my car ran out of gas.”
The two men exchanged a quick glance and said, “Sorry. We’re in a hurry and we can’t help your mom.”
Rick was at a loss. He entered the convenience store and asked several people for help, but it didn’t take them long to turn him down. He was anxious at this point, terrified that he would never see his mom again. He walked out of the store, feeling helpless.
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。
Suddenly, he noticed an elderly woman who dropped her purse on the ground when getting off her car.

The elderly said hesitantly that she wanted to help but she had to see her doctor.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly, he noticed an elderly woman who dropped her purse on the ground when getting off her car. Rick assisted her in picking it up, and she thanked him and told him she was going to see her doctor. Rick asked the elderly woman to do him a favor immediately. Rick told her he was on the way to see his mom and that his car ran out of gas. Helplessly, Rick asked her to share some of her gas.
The elderly said hesitantly that she wanted to help but she had to see her doctor. Rick begged that it might be the last time that he saw his mom. Then, the woman gave Rick a concerned look and she asked more details why Rick needed the gas so urgently. Without any hesitation, the woman finally agreed to drive Rick to his car. After his car was able to start, Rick thanked the woman again. “All right. Now leave; your mother is waiting for you.” Rick thanked her once more and drove to the hospital as quickly as possible.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。主人公Rick接到医生Carter打来的电话，得知自己的妈妈不久将别于人世。Rick很是着急，放下手上的东西，马上开上自己的车子去医院。为了能最快的时间赶到医院，Rick选了一条穿过高速公路的较短路径。不幸地是，出发前Rick忽略了燃油的提示，车子在途中因为缺失燃油而抛锚。Rick通过电话查询到距离最近的加油站在几英里之外。然而，他注意到附近的一家便利店，便决定在那里求助。在他抵达便利店后，他向多个人求助，希望大家能借给他一点汽油，但都遭到了拒绝。走出商店的他感到很无助。
【详解】1. 段落续写

Clara Daly was seated on an Alaska Airlines flight route from Boston to Los Angeles when a flight attendant asked an urgent question over the loudspeaker： "Does anyone on board know American Sign Language " Clara, 15 at the time, pressed the call button. The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. "We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf," she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn't understand what he needed.
Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help with her dyslexia （读写困难）and knew she'd be able to finger spell into the man's palm. So she untied her seat belt, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt by the aisle （过道）seat of Tim Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she signed, "How are you Are you OK " Tim asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat.
She came by again a bit later because Tim wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed a while. "He didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk," Clara says. So for the next hour, that's what they did. She talked about her family and her plans for the future （she wants to be a politician）. Tim told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman.
"Even though Tim couldn't see her, she looked attentively at his face with such kindness," a passenger reported. "Clara was amazing," a flight attendant told Alaska Airlines in a blog interview. "You could tell Tim was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such an angel. " Tim's reaction: "Best trip I've ever had."
4. Why was an urgent question asked over the loudspeaker

Who is a genius This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us And who are they
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”
8. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club
A. They’re unfair. B. They’re conservative.
C. They’re objective. D. They’re strict.
9. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs
10. Why are more geniuses known to the public
A. Improved global communication.
B. Less discrimination against women.
C. Acceptance of victors’ concepts.
D. Changes in people’s social positions.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms
C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck
D
"What kind of rubbish are you " This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has become a special "greeting" among people over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations （条例〉that are required to follow and expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss （投放）it into specific public dustbins. They must do so at specified times, when monitors are present to ensure correct trash-tossing and to ask the nature of one's rubbish. Individuals who fail to follow the regulations face the possibility of fines and worse. They could be punished with fines of up to 200 yuan （ $ 29）. For those who repeat to go against them, the government can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to get bank loans or even buy train tickets.
Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year, more than London's annual output, which is rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift （筛选）through the waste, picking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up.
Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are annoyed by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or harmful, the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules concerning food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bins, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. What they complain most is the short periods for dropping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out； no one wants to look bad.
12. What do we know about the trash-sorting regulations in Shanghai
A. They are the first of their kind. B. They are tied to one's bank account.
C. They have the highest fines. D. They're aided by monitors.
13. Why has Shanghai introduced the trash-sorting regulations
A. There are fewer and fewer trash pickers.
B. It aims to build a new recycling system.
C. It faces more and more serious garbage problems.
D. People throw the rubbish here and there.
14. What makes the residents upset most about the regulations
A. Limited time for tossing the trash.
B. Confusing distinction among the categories of trash.
C. Being fined due to improper behavior.
D. Being watched by monitors when throwing the garbage.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. A Good Way of Trash-sorting
B. A New Era of Garbage Classification
C. A Great Time in Dealing with Litter
D. An Effective Solution to Rubbish Problem

“Rick, I’m sorry to say that your mom’s health is failing,” Doctor Carter said over the phone.
“What ” Rick panicked. “But my mom was okay until last week. How could it happen ”
“We had also thought she was improving, but her body is no longer responding to the treatment. In fact, I don’t think she has much time, so I have to inform you,” Mr. Carter said before hanging up.
Rick’s heart dropped to the ground. His mom was dying, and he had to get to her. Rick dropped everything and got into his car immediately.
To see his mom as soon as possible, Rick chose a shorter path through the freeway that would help him get there faster. Unfortunately, he completely ignored the fuel indicator—which implied that his car was about to run out of gas-until he was already on the highway with no one in sight. He managed to park the car by the side of the road.
Rick checked his phone for the nearest fuel station, and it was miles away. However, he noticed a convenience store nearby. It wasn’t a long walk, so he decided to ask for help there.
When he arrived there 15 minutes later, he saw two men exiting the store. He quickly went up to them. “Hey, man,” he said. “Could you spare me some of your gas I’m on my way to see my mother. She’s sick, but my car ran out of gas.”
The two men exchanged a quick glance and said, “Sorry. We’re in a hurry and we can’t help your mom.”
Rick was at a loss. He entered the convenience store and asked several people for help, but it didn’t take them long to turn him down. He was anxious at this point, terrified that he would never see his mom again. He walked out of the store, feeling helpless.
