When I was a high school student, mathematics looked like a big barrier for me and several of my classmates. When we reached the ninth class, we got Mr Iyer, a strict maths teacher who was also our class teacher. He always stuck to his discipline. We had to arrive on time, pay undivided attention to his lectures, and dared not to neglect any of his homework.
Even so, as our class teacher, we got to know him better. Noticing some of us fidgeting one day as the mid term exams approached, he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why. “There’s too much to do, ” we sighed. “We’re afraid we’ll never manage to finish our revision before the exam.” “Nothing is impossible, ” Mr Iyer told us. “This classroom is on the second floor. Do you have a problem reaching here ” We reacted with blank stares.
“No, you don’t!” he said, answering his own question.“You have a staircase to help you climb up to this level. No one expects you to make it in two giant leaps. You simply take one step at a time. Any task can be solved if you focus on the immediate action to be taken. The rest will take care of itself, if you keep at it. One step at a time. That’s the secret.” Then he wrote down an old motto on the blackboard—the longest journey starts with a single step. Having heard his staircase analogy(比拟), we understood why he asked us the question and we saw him in a new light.
Most of my classmates scored distinctions in maths. And I went on to become an English teacher. To this day, whenever I pass on Mr Iyer’s invaluable advice to my own students, they brighten up at the prospect of a lighter academic burden.

Life will probably be very different in 2050. First of all.It seems that TV channels will have vanished by 2050.

In many places, agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water. Therefore, there could be serious shortages of water. Some scientists predict that water could be the course of worse if we don’t act now.

Today many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050,the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.Also, by2050, space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike and work 24 hours a day. They are also easy to control. And they never argue with people, they can be easily used the variety of places — factories, schools, hospitals, shops and homes.

Most children have ever heard their parents yell “sit up straight!” or “don’t hang your head !” when they eat dinner. Nowadays, it is also heard around another activity — video games. Ten-year-old Owaish admits it takes him three to four hours a day to play games on his tablet computer. In addition, he plays for about two hours on the smart phone every day. As a result, he started suffering a serious pain in the neck around June or July. What’s worse the pain has spread to the hand and back gradually, which makes his mother Mehzabin become concerned.
The doctors note the number of young children with the chronic pain(慢性病) in their necks, arms and shoulders is on the increase sharp in recent years . They are not aging, they haven’t had an accident, the blood reports are fine, their X-rays are fine, and their MRIs are fine. Facts have proved that the pain is from the poor posture(姿势) while they are playing video games on smart phones or other electronic devices. 19-year –old student Nida feels pain in the finger which holds the weight of her smart phone most of the day. Nida almost uses her smart phone 24/7, which means 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or all the time.
Health experts predict there will be not only physical(身体的)but mental(精神的) problems resulting from the overuse of electronic devices. They encourage people to often take breaks and exercise from using computers, smart phones or other devices. Stand up! Stretch(伸展) the legs, back, shoulders and arms in all the possible directions. That’s the most effective way and maybe the key to solving the problem completely. After all, the medication doesn’t help sometimes.

A. Her son has no table manners.
B. Her son’s physical problems get worse.
C. Her son doesn’t work hard at school.
D. Her son spends much money on games.

B. Adults don’t have the problem.
C. It is caused by the wrong body position
D. Children with it often have other diseases.
14. According to health experts, _______.
A. best treatment for the chronic pain is exercising
B people must take medicine to cure the chronic pain
C. people should stop using smart phones
D. the chronic pain has nothing to do with one’s mental health

When I was a high school student, mathematics looked like a big barrier for me and several of my classmates. When we reached the ninth class, we got Mr Iyer, a strict maths teacher who was also our class teacher. He always stuck to his discipline. We had to arrive on time, pay undivided attention to his lectures, and dared not to neglect any of his homework.
Even so, as our class teacher, we got to know him better. Noticing some of us fidgeting one day as the mid term exams approached, he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why. “There’s too much to do, ” we sighed. “We’re afraid we’ll never manage to finish our revision before the exam.” “Nothing is impossible, ” Mr Iyer told us. “This classroom is on the second floor. Do you have a problem reaching here ” We reacted with blank stares.
“No, you don’t!” he said, answering his own question.“You have a staircase to help you climb up to this level. No one expects you to make it in two giant leaps. You simply take one step at a time. Any task can be solved if you focus on the immediate action to be taken. The rest will take care of itself, if you keep at it. One step at a time. That’s the secret.” Then he wrote down an old motto on the blackboard—the longest journey starts with a single step. Having heard his staircase analogy(比拟), we understood why he asked us the question and we saw him in a new light.
Most of my classmates scored distinctions in maths. And I went on to become an English teacher. To this day, whenever I pass on Mr Iyer’s invaluable advice to my own students, they brighten up at the prospect of a lighter academic burden.

5. Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “fidgeting” in Paragraph 2
A. excited B. nervous C. hardworking D. calm
6. Why did the author and his classmates react with blank stares
A. Because they were too tired to understand what Mr Iyer said.
B. Because they felt surprised at such an unbelievable problem.
C. Because they had no interest in any subjects that were no good for their exams.
D. Because they first thought reaching the second floor had no connection with the worry.

Most children have ever heard their parents yell “sit up straight!” or “don’t hang your head !” when they eat dinner. Nowadays, it is also heard around another activity — video games. Ten-year-old Owaish admits it takes him three to four hours a day to play games on his tablet computer. In addition, he plays for about two hours on the smart phone every day. As a result, he started suffering a serious pain in the neck around June or July. What’s worse the pain has spread to the hand and back gradually, which makes his mother Mehzabin become concerned.
The doctors note the number of young children with the chronic pain(慢性病) in their necks, arms and shoulders is on the increase sharp in recent years . They are not aging, they haven’t had an accident, the blood reports are fine, their X-rays are fine, and their MRIs are fine. Facts have proved that the pain is from the poor posture(姿势) while they are playing video games on smart phones or other electronic devices. 19-year –old student Nida feels pain in the finger which holds the weight of her smart phone most of the day. Nida almost uses her smart phone 24/7, which means 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or all the time.
Health experts predict there will be not only physical(身体的)but mental(精神的) problems resulting from the overuse of electronic devices. They encourage people to often take breaks and exercise from using computers, smart phones or other devices. Stand up! Stretch(伸展) the legs, back, shoulders and arms in all the possible directions. That’s the most effective way and maybe the key to solving the problem completely. After all, the medication doesn’t help sometimes.

B. Her son’s physical problems get worse.

细节理解题解题思路与应试技巧
细节题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题,正确答案的根据一定可以在原文中找到,即原文的改写往往成为正确选项。
通常细节题的正确选项有以下特征:
1、对原文句子中的关键词进行替换。把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词,成为正确选项。
2、词性或者语态的变化。把原文中的一些词变换一下词性,或者改变原文句子的语态,给考生制造障碍。
3、语言简化。把原文中的复杂语言现象进行简化,成为正确答案。
4、正话反说。把原文中的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项(适用于寻找错误选项的题目)。
干扰项也是以文章中的某个细节设题,若不仔细辨别,很容易把它当成正确选项。干扰项有以下特征:
1、将原文内容扩大或缩小。把原文中的限定词去掉或替换,使该选项看似正确,实际上却是错误选项。
2、把未然当已然。改变文中某句话的时态,如把将来时变成现在时,把未发生的事情当成已发生的事情。
3、无中生有。即选项内容是根据主观想象或推测得出的结论,而文中并未涉及。
4、偷换概念。把原来做该事的“张三”换成“李四”,所述细节确实与原文一致,一不小心就会误选。
5、文不对题。这类题最不容易辨别,选项中的描述与原文完全一致,确属原文中的一个细节,这时要回到题干,看该选项是否能回答题干所提的问题。

51. 我们觉得让我们国家成为一个更加美好的地方是我们的责任。(feel it our duty)(汉译英)
【答案】We feel it our duty to make our country a better place.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配。表示“我们”应用we;表示“觉得”应用feel;表示“我们的职责”应用our duty;表示“让我们国家成为一个更好的地方”应用make our country a better place;句子陈述客观事实,使用一般现在时,主语为we,feel用原形,feel it+n+to do为固定用法,it为形式宾语,动词不定式为真正的宾语,make的动词不定式形式为to make。故翻译成:We feel it our duty to make our country a better place.

【答案】When I entered the room, he pretended to be studying.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和时态。分析可知,句子描述过去的动作,时态用一般过去时,“我走进房间时”用when引导时间状语从句,是when I entered the room,“假装正在做某事”是固定短语pretend to be doing, “读书”是read a book, 因此整个句子翻译为“He pretended to be reading a book when I entered the room”,故答案为He pretended to be reading a book when I entered the room。
54. 如果你考虑我的建议,我会非常感激。(appreciate)(汉译英)
【答案】I would appreciate it if you could take my suggestions into consideration.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型,从句和短语。“如果……我会非常感激”用固定句型“I would appreciate it if...”,“考虑”用固定短语“take...into consideration”,“我的建议”译为“my suggestions”,再结合其他汉语意思,故翻译为I would appreciate it if you could take my suggestions into consideration.
55. 他越解释,我就越迷惑。(the more… the more…)(汉译英)
【答案】The more he explained, the more confused I became.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型。根据汉语意思和提示可知本句应用比较级的固定句型the+比较级… the +比较级…,根据句意可知是一般过去时,他解释译为“he explained”,所以前半句为the more he explained,我迷惑译为“I became confused”,本句为形容词confused的比较级,所以放在固定句型里把confused提到主语前,因此后半句为 the more confused I became,故翻译为The more he explained, the more confused I became.
