I went shopping for a dress to wear to my daughter’s high school graduation half a year ago. To my horror, I could only fit into a size 20.
Being overweight most of my adult life, I always had very little self-confidence. Wearing a dress I didn’t like to such an important event was enough to make me look for help. Thankfully, a friend of mine was attending Weight Watchers meetings, and I noticed her great progress. Her success inspired me to give it a try. I joined Weight Watchers, attended their meetings and started following their Weight-Loss System.
I focused on the plan with determination and never missed a weekly meeting! I discovered that I enjoyed the benefits of having the help and support of others. I also read the weekly online e-newsletter and was inspired by the stories, recipes and information offered there, I also read magazines produced by Weight Watchers, which have great tips and new ideas in each issue.
It’s hard for me to even remember the person I was before my amazing change. I didn’t walk anywhere and couldn’t wash my car or walk my dog. Today I do these simple tasks without even thinking about them. But the change didn’t happen overnight. I had to exercise with patience and perseverance. I decided to take it one day at a time and stick with it for good.
The “new me” is more self-confident and healthier. I love how I feel now. I have more energy and feel like I’m 25 again. So why not give Weight Watchers a try if you have the same overweight problem

Why do people travel Well, we usually travel because we want to see other countries and visit places that are famous, interesting or beautiful. We travel to meet new friends, to try new kinds of food, to experience life in other parts of the world or simply to get away from cold weather. However, there are other reasons for adventure travel. Many of today’s adventure travelers are looking for an unusual experience and adventure travel is becoming more and more popular. Here is a quick look at two popular activities: hiking and rafting.
Instead of spending your vacation on a bus, in a hotel or sitting on the beach, you may want to try hiking. Hiking is a great way to travel. You will get close to nature and take exercise at the same time. Hiking is easy to do and doesn’t have to be very expensive. You can hike close to home or other places. The basic equipment you need for hiking is simple: good shoes, clothes and a backpack. You can hike in the mountains, in a forest or along a river. You can also go for a hiking in the city.
Another exciting adventure is rafting. A raft is a small boat that you can use to paddle (划桨) down rivers and streams. Rafting is a good way to experience nature. If you want a normal rafting trip, choose a quiet stream or river that is wide and has few fallen trees or rocks. As with hiking, you should always think about your safety and wear good clothes. You also need to learn the basic skills, such as how to handle the raft, how to paddle and how to get in and out of the raft. You should not raft unless you know how to swim, and you should always wear a life jacket.
8. Adventure travelers want to_____.
A. experience something exciting and unusual

【8题详解】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Hiking is a great way to travel. You will get close to nature and take exercise at the same time. (徒步旅行是一种很好的旅行方式。你会在接近大自然的同时锻炼身体)”可知，徒步旅行是一种很好的旅行方式是因为你可以在大自然中锻炼。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“As with hiking, you should always think about your safety and wear good clothes. You also need to learn the basic skills, such as how to handle the raft, how to paddle and how to get in and out of the raft. You should not raft unless you know how to swim, and you should always wear a life jacket. (和徒步旅行一样，你应该时刻考虑自己的安全，并穿好衣服。你还需要学习基本的技能，比如如何操作木筏，如何划桨，如何进出木筏。除非你知道如何游泳，否则你不应该乘救生筏，而且你应该始终穿着救生衣)”可知，漂流需要学会游泳技能，需要穿救生衣，需要学习漂流知识，而不必穿皮鞋。故选D。

Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey-rats will soon be man's new best friends.
What happens after an earthquake We send in rescue dogs. Why Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work First，the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University-New York says, “Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark.They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).
12. In the world earthquake capitals rats will become man's best friends because they can ______.
A. take the place of man's rescue jobs
B. find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
C. serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings
D. get into small spaces
13. From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by ________.
A. the noise made by the rat B. the rat's unusual behavior
C. the signal sent by the radio on the rat's back D. the smell given off by the person
14. In doing rescue jobs, ________.
A. rats smell better than dogs
B. dogs don't need to be trained to smell people
C. robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells around
D. rats can not see in the dark
15. After reading the passage we can know .
A. nowadays rats have replaced dogs in searching for people
B. the “rat project” has been completed
C. people are now happy to see a rat in a building
D. at present people still use dogs and robots in rescues
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了用老鼠来寻找在地震中被困在地下的人的优势。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey-rats will soon be man's new best friends.（但是在世界地震之都——日本和洛杉矶，土耳其——老鼠将很快成为人类的新朋友。）”第二段“So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.（因此，现在一项新的研究项目正在使用一种较小的动物来拯救生命：老鼠。）”可知，在世界地震之都，老鼠将成为人类最好的朋友，因为它们可以找到被困在建筑物里的活着的人的位置。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“ This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive.（它被发送到一个背上的小型无线电，然后救援人员跟踪无线电信号。当老鼠的大脑活动跳跃时，救援人员就知道有人还活着。）”可知，救援人员可以通过老鼠背上的无线电发出的信号来判断一个人是否还活着。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around.（当周围有其他气味时，机器人的鼻子就不能正常工作。）”，可知，在救援时，机器人的嗅觉会受到周围其他气味的影响。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“What happens after an earthquake We send in rescue dogs. Why Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. ”地震后会发生什么？我们派出了救援犬。为什么？因为他们能闻到人的气味。狗能救人。根据倒数第二段“Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. ”虽然已经有机器人可以做这项工作，但老鼠更好。根据最后一段“Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).(也许这是历史上第一次，人们会乐于看到建筑里有一只老鼠(当然，只有在地震之后)。)”可知，此句运用一般将来时，说明现在还没有投入使用，是将来的事情，说明人们还在使用狗和机器人实施求援。故选D项。

This will get you into trouble.(无论你多么想在课堂上和你的朋友坐在一起，尽量避免他们。和身边的朋友聊天不会让你在课堂上集中注意力。这会给你带来麻烦的)”可知，本段主要讲课堂上尽量不要与朋友坐在一起，因为与周围的朋友交谈会分散注意力。故A选项“避免和朋友坐在一起”符合语境，故选A。

【18题详解】
根据上文“Take notes. By taking notes, you’ll be able to “get into” the lesson.(做笔记。通过记笔记，你就能“进入”课堂)”可知课堂上要记笔记，记下老师所讲的重点，设空处置于短尾，总结上文说明这样做的好处，即有利于更专心地听讲，故B选项“这可以帮助你更专心地听”符合语境，故选B。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Get involved in class discussions. This is a wonderful way to become a more focused, successful student. When a teacher asks a question, offer to answer it.(参与课堂讨论。这是成为一个更专注、更成功的学生的好方法。当老师提问时，主动回答)”可知，本段主题是要加入课堂讨论，即当老师提出问题时，要主动回答。如果他或她想知道大家的观点，要敢于分享自己的想法，故C选项“如果他或她征求你的意见，分享你自己的”符合语境，故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Ask a question.(提问)”以及后文“This really shows your teacher that you want to be better, and can recognize the things you are having difficulty with.(这真的向你的老师表明你想要做得更好，并且可以认识到你有困难的事情)”可知，本段主要讲课堂上要敢于问问题，本句承接主题句，又引起下文，故F选项“如果你有不明白的地方，不要害怕问”符合语境，故选F。

47. 阅读下面的材料，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。
“Do you forget to bring your homework to school ” my sixth-grade math teacher asked. I nodded my head and said in a low voice, “Yes, sir.” What a mistake I had made! I had completed my math homework. But when I headed for school, I forgot to put it into my schoolbag. Now my homework is still lying on the desk at home.
“You will have a get a zero then,” math teacher said. I was shocked. I had never received a zero in a math class before. But the school had rules, and the teacher had to let everyone follow them. I was immediately worried about my final math average, which was based on my homework and the tests. Would I get a C or even a D at the end of the term If so, what should I do
My next class was a gym class. During that gym class, my mind was affected by the math homework and I was worried about my final math average. So I failed to devote my attention to my gym teacher, Ms. Brown’s direction. And clearly, I was sad. I guessed that Ms. Brown found there was something wrong with me. When it was near the end of the gym class, she walked to me.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为100左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

Paragraph 2:
I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 She sat down to comfort me. “Are you okay ” she asked. I told her about my trouble. Then Ms. Brown said to me, “We all make mistakes.” She told me what happened to her several days ago. I was surprised that she also made mistakes since I had thought she was perfect. She told me the world didn’t end because I got a zero in a math class and encouraged me to study hard.
I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math. In math classes, I paid more attention to the teacher’s lectures. After reaching home after school, I would do the math homework more carefully. And I left notes to remind me not to forget to bring my homework to school again. At the end of that term, based on my good daily performances and test scores, my final math average was an A. This experience taught me a lesson: as long as we learn from mistakes, we’re making progress.

The 10, 000-square-foot museum has more room to house its 2, 000-piece collection of international children’s art, including a huge center gallery.

I went shopping for a dress to wear to my daughter’s high school graduation half a year ago. To my horror, I could only fit into a size 20.
Being overweight most of my adult life, I always had very little self-confidence. Wearing a dress I didn’t like to such an important event was enough to make me look for help. Thankfully, a friend of mine was attending Weight Watchers meetings, and I noticed her great progress. Her success inspired me to give it a try. I joined Weight Watchers, attended their meetings and started following their Weight-Loss System.
I focused on the plan with determination and never missed a weekly meeting! I discovered that I enjoyed the benefits of having the help and support of others. I also read the weekly online e-newsletter and was inspired by the stories, recipes and information offered there, I also read magazines produced by Weight Watchers, which have great tips and new ideas in each issue.
It’s hard for me to even remember the person I was before my amazing change. I didn’t walk anywhere and couldn’t wash my car or walk my dog. Today I do these simple tasks without even thinking about them. But the change didn’t happen overnight. I had to exercise with patience and perseverance. I decided to take it one day at a time and stick with it for good.
The “new me” is more self-confident and healthier. I love how I feel now. I have more energy and feel like I’m 25 again. So why not give Weight Watchers a try if you have the same overweight problem
4. The underlined word “inspired” in the second paragraph can be replaced by .
A. excited B. moved C. encouraged D. forced
5. We can learn from the passage that the writer .
A often went shopping before she lost weight B. was overweight when she was a child
C. ever wanted to give up losing weight D. now is more confident than before
6. This passage is written to .
A. tell us how to gain self-confidence
B. show off the great progress that the author has made
C. give us some tips on how to lose weight quickly
D. advise overweight people to give Weight Watchers a try
7. Which of the following word will you use to describe the writer
A. Weak. B. Calm. C. Patient. D. Silent.
C
Why do people travel Well we usually travel because we want to see other countries and visit places that are famous, interesting or beautiful. We travel to meet new friends, to try new kinds of food, to experience life in other parts of the world or simply to get away from cold weather. However, there are other reasons for adventure travel. Many of today’s adventure travelers are looking for an unusual experience and adventure travel is becoming more and more popular. Here is a quick look at two popular activities: hiking and rafting.
Instead of spending your vacation on a bus, in a hotel or sitting on the beach, you may want to try hiking. Hiking is a great way to travel. You will get close to nature and take exercise at the same time. Hiking is easy to do and doesn’t have to be very expensive. You can hike close to home or other places. The basic equipment you need for hiking is simple: good shoes, clothes and a backpack. You can hike in the mountains, in a forest or along a river. You can also go for a hiking in the city.
Another exciting adventure is rafting. A raft is a small boat that you can use to paddle (划桨) down rivers and streams. Rafting is a good way to experience nature. If you want a normal rafting trip, choose a quiet stream or river that is wide and has few fallen trees or rocks. As with hiking, you should always think about your safety and wear good clothes. You also need to learn the basic skills, such as how to handle the raft, how to paddle and how to get in and out of the raft. You should not raft unless you know how to swim, and you should always wear a life jacket.
8. Adventure travelers want to_____.
A. experience something exciting and unusual
B. meet new friends and get away from bad weather.
C. try new kinds of food and see other countries.
D. Visit famous sites or beautiful places
9. Hiking is a good way of traveling because______.
A. you seldom do it in the city B. you can work out in nature
C. you need a lot of equipment for it D. you don’t have to consider the safety
10. Before you go rafting, you do not have to .
A. learn rafting skills B. know how to swim
C. put on a life jacket D. wear leather shoes
11. The author wrote this passage mainly to introduce .
A. something about hiking B. something about rafting
C. the safety rules of traveling D. two exciting ways of traveling
D
Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey-rats will soon be man's new best friends.
What happens after an earthquake We send in rescue dogs. Why Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work First，the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University-New York says, “Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark.They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).
12. In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man's best friends because they can ______.
A. take the place of man's rescue jobs
B. find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
C. serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings
D. get into small spaces
13. From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by ________.
A. the noise made by the rat B. the rat's unusual behavior
C. the signal sent by the radio on the rat's back D. the smell given off by the person
14. In doing rescue jobs, ________.
A. rats smell better than dogs
B. dogs don't need to be trained to smell people
C. robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells around
D. rats can not see in the dark
15. After reading the passage we can know .
A. nowadays rats have replaced dogs in searching for people
B. the “rat project” has been completed
C. people are now happy to see a rat in a building
D. at present people still use dogs and robots in rescues

“Do you forget to bring your homework to school ” my sixth-grade math teacher asked. I nodded my head and said in a low voice, “Yes, sir.” What a mistake I had made! I had completed my math homework. But when I headed for school, I forgot to put it into my schoolbag. Now my homework is still lying on the desk at home.
“You will have a get a zero then,” math teacher said. I was shocked. I had never received a zero in a math class before. But the school had rules, and the teacher had to let everyone follow them. I was immediately worried about my final math average, which was based on my homework and the tests. Would I get a C or even a D at the end of the term If so, what should I do
My next class was a gym class. During that gym class, my mind was affected by the math homework and I was worried about my final math average.

When it was near the end of the gym class, she walked to me.
