In early November of 1942, my geology (地质学) class was supposed to go on a field trip to see the mica mine (云母矿). Although it rained, everyone showed up on time. I was the only girl in the class. We all fit into two cars.
Near Deary, Mr. Tier, our teacher, went into a store to ask about the direction, while townsmen looked at us with curiosity. On the store owner’s advice, we drove out into the hills for a few miles. Then we left the cars. We were afraid they would get stuck in the mud.
Eventually, we located the mine near the top of the mountain. There was a very small hole, running about two or three hundred feet into the mountainside. The passage (通道) was so narrow that we could touch both sides with our hands, and not tall enough to allow us to stand up straight. The first boy held the torch; we took hold of the backs of each other’s coats, in a line, and followed him in, ducking our heads. After getting in, we were disappointed because it was not the mine our teacher was looking for.
The rain was coming down hard as we started back to the cars to go home. Back at Deary, we went into a drugstore and stood around its big heating stove to dry out. The clerk was a middle aged lady. Seeing our entirely wet hair and clothes, she handed each of us a cup of hot water immediately and asked if there was anything wrong with any of us.
Hiking eight miles in the rain had not reduced our interest at all. We all felt we had a wonderful time, even if we didn’t find the mine.
24. Why did the class leave the cars halfway
A. Because their cars broke down in Deary.
B. Because it was not easy to drive in the mud.
C. Because townsmen were curious about their cars.
D. Because the store owner gave them a wrong direction.
25. What does the underlined word “ducking” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Turning. B. Touching. C. Lowering. D. Hitting.
26. Which of the following can best describe the clerk of the drugstore
A. Impatient. B. Careless. C. Hard working. D. Warm hearted.
27. What can we know from the passage
A. The class failed to see the mica mine.
B. The weather terribly influenced the trip.
C. The teacher was not professional enough.
D. The author was not liked by her classmates.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的老师带领全班同学进行了一次野外寻矿的活动。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“We were afraid they would get stuck in the mud.(我们担心它们会陷在泥里)”可知，下雨天路上都是泥，开车很困难，他们担心车陷在泥里。故选B。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“The passage(通道) was so narrow that we could touch both sides with our hands, and not tall enough to allow us to stand up straight.(通道太窄了，我们可以用手触摸到两边，而且通道不够高，我们站不直)”可知，通道不够高，他们站不直，只能猫着腰，“低”头前进，ducking意为“低头”。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“Seeing our entirely wet hair and clothes, she handed each of us a cup of hot water immediately and asked if there was anything wrong with any of us.(看到我们的头发和衣服都湿透了，她立刻给我们每人递了一杯热水，问我们是否有什么问题)”可知，店员给每个人递了一杯热水，并询问是否需要帮助。由此推知，店员很热心。故选D。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“After getting in, we were disappointed because it was not the mine our teacher was looking for.(进去后，我们很失望，因为这不是我们老师要找的云母矿)”以及最后一段“We all felt we had a wonderful time, even if we didn’t find the mine.(我们都觉得我们度过了一段美好的时光，即使我们没有找到矿井)”可知，学生们并没有看到云母矿。故选A。
C
Every day for a week, a strange, happy visitor would drop to play with Vanessa Prior’s pet dog Bobby. Prior thought Bobby had made a new dog friend. It seemed very friendly and got well along with Bobby. They would run after each other, play on the pool cover, gently wrestle (摔跤) or nap side by side.
At first she thought it was a wild dog. But when she posted a photo of the two playing on her Facebook, a pet rescue centre called her. The group told her the Atlanta Wolf Project had been trying to catch the wolf for months, but they failed. Prior gave them new hope.
Because of the wolfs friendship with her pet dog, it was likely to come back to her backyard. Researchers hoped Prior could help them. When they put some traps (陷阱) in the back of her yard, Prior got a very complicated (复杂的) feeling. She couldn’t describe what it was. The wolf would be in a safe place, but she would do something that harmed Bobby’s feelings.
Researchers told Prior that they would take the rare, black wolf to the Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary where it would live with another wolf. They didn’t think it a satisfying situation for a wild animal like a wolf to have a connection with humans’ life. They need to keep a natural awareness to humans and pets and keep to themselves.
Wolf experts added they would look into the genetics of the animal to try to learn why it liked to get close to people and tried to play with their pets. Some experts believe it could have a history with well-meaning humans. Prior had not expected that she and Bobby should meet such a special and lovely wolf. They just hoped the dear friend all the best.
28. What happened to Vanessa Prior according to the first two paragraphs
A. She didn’t like her dog’s new friend.
B. She was awarded for her helpful picture.
C. She realised her dog made friends with a wolf.
D. She called the pet rescue centre to catch the wolf.
29. How did Prior feel when some traps were set
A. She was afraid to lose Bobby.
B. She regretted helping the researchers.
C. She was worried about the wolf’s future.
D. She had bittersweet feelings about the wolf.
30. What can be inferred about the black wolf from the last two paragraphs
A. It is a kind and sociable animal.
B. It was once kept as a human pet.
C. It will be sent to the wild to live with other animals.
D. It has a great awareness of keeping away from humans.
31. Where can the passage most probably appear
A. In a nature magazine. B. In a travel guide.
C. In a medical report D. In a scientific research.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一只黑狼和一个宠物狗交上了朋友，被动物专家发现后，把黑狼送归自然的故事。
28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Prior thought Bobby had made a new dog friend. (Prior以为Bobby交了一个新的狗朋友。)”和第二段中“But when she posted a photo of the two playing on her Facebook, a pet rescue centre called her. The group told her the Atlanta Wolf Project had been trying to catch the wolf for months, but they failed.

【30题详解】
推理判断题。通读最后两段，根据最后一段中“Wolf experts added they would look into the genetics of the animal to try to learn why it liked to get close to people and tried to play with their pets. Some experts believe it could have a history with well-meaning humans. (狼专家补充说，他们将研究这种动物的基因，试图了解为什么它喜欢接近人类，并试图和他们的宠物玩耍。一些专家认为，它可能与善意的人类有一段历史。)”可知，黑狼是一种善良且善于交际的动物。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据倒数第二段中“They need to keep a natural awareness to humans and pets and keep to themselves. (它们需要对人类和宠物保持一种自然的意识，并保持自己的独立。)”可知，本文主要讲述了一只黑狼和一个宠物狗交上了朋友，被动物专家发现后，把黑狼送归自然的故事，由此推知，文章最可能出现在在自然杂志上。故选A项。

A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don’t read.
But how to build a habit of reading Like any habit, the trick is in figuring out what suits you. The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading. “I always have a book next to wherever I put my phone,” My friend Jimmy once told me. “So if I want to check my phone,I physically can see the book there. Nine times out of ten. I end up reading the book instead of using my phone for nothing.”
Another challenge is time, and in that case, audio-books (有声书) can be a good choice. Audio-books are great for filling the mind while you’re on the way to work , washing dishes or working out at the gym.
If you’re still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure. You should free yourself from the opinion that only important or educational books are worth reading. There’s no shame in rereading the books that made you fall in love with reading in the first place. Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.
32. What is the most difficult part in forming the reading habit
A. Getting reading skills. B. Finding a great book.
C. Having limited time. D. Getting reading started.
33. What is the advantage of audio-books according to the text
A. They are time saving. B. They provide more pleasure.
C. They help brain development. D. They offer more book choices.
34. Why is rereading old favourite books a good idea
A. It helps restart reading. B. It is of great convenience(方便).
C. It improves the taste for art. D. It can increase your patience.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Method of killing free time B. Advantages of using audio-books
C. Way to choose educational books D. Advice on developing a reading habit
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些养成阅读习惯的方法。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading.(阅读最难的部分其实是拿起一本书。你必须坐下来，拿起一本书开始读。)”可知，阅读最难的一部分是拿起一本书开始阅读。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Audio-books are great for filling the mind while you’re on the way to work , washing dishes or working out at the gym.(有声读物非常适合在你上班、洗碗或在健身房锻炼的路上填满你的大脑)”可推知，有声读物可以节约时间。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“If you’re still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure.(如果你还在培养阅读习惯的路上，最好的方法就是重温你以前最喜欢的书，以获得年轻时的阅读乐趣)”和“Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.(重新开始阅读有点像开始画画。需要一些努力才能进入最佳状态，但一旦你开始，结果会是美丽而令人满意的)”可知，重读旧书可以引导你开始阅读。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don’t read.(最近的一项研究表明，当谈到阅读的好处时，仅仅阅读比阅读内容更重要。研究人员发现，阅读小说有助于大脑在理解他人和想象世界方面的发展。他们还发现，每周花几个小时读书的人比不读书的人活得更长。)”以及第二段第一句“But how to build a habit of reading (但是如何养成阅读的习惯呢？)”以及后文可知，本文主要给出了养成阅读习惯的建议。故选D项。

【36题详解】
上文“From sports to clubs to outside organizations, there are many activities to take part in outside the classroom.(从运动到俱乐部再到校外组织，有很多课外活动可以参加。)”提到了有很多的课外活动可以参加；下文“Fortunately, it becomes quite easy once you figure out what you enjoy doing in general.(幸运的是，一旦你知道你喜欢做什么，这就变得很容易了。)”提到了一旦知道自己喜欢做什么，就变得很容易。由此可知，设空处所填句意与下文存在转折关系。B项“This can make choosing one a little difficult.(这要让你选择一个可能会有点困难。)”中的this与上文对应，而difficult则与下文的easy对应。故选B项。
【37题详解】
段首主旨句“Think about your interests and know your advantages.(想想你的兴趣，了解你的优势。)”提到了要想想自己的兴趣，了解自己的优势；上文“Before you start considering specific(具体的)activities, take a step back. Think about what excites you and find your passions(热情).(在你开始考虑具体的活动之前，先退一步。想想什么能让你兴奋，找到你的激情所在。)”提到了在考虑具体活动前，先想想什么能让自己兴奋，找到自己的激情所在；下文“Now that you have a better idea of what you like to do in general, decide on those that you are good at.(既然你对自己喜欢做什么有了更好的了解，那就选择你擅长的吧。)”提到了对自己喜欢做的事有更好的了解后，就开始选择自己擅长的。由此可推知，设空处应是与思考自己感兴趣的活动有关。F项“Use those to decide on activities that will keep you interested for a long time.(利用这些信息来决定哪些活动能让你长期感兴趣。)”与本段主旨相符，选项中的those与上文的“Think about what excites you and find your passions.(想想什么能让你兴奋，找到你的激情所在。)”对应。故选F项。
【38题详解】
设空处位于句首，为本段主旨句。下文“In addition to your interests and advantages, know what you would like to improve about yourself.(除了你的兴趣和优势之外，你也要知道你想要提升自己的哪些方面。)”提到了除自己的兴趣和优势之外，也要知道自己想要提升的东西。由此可知，本段主要与“提升自我”相关。A项“Think about skills you want to develop.(想想你想要培养的技能。)”与本段主旨相符。故选A项。
【39题详解】
段首句“Find out what activities are available(可用的)and look into each one.(找出哪些活动是可用的，并一一研究。)”提到了要找出可用的活动，并一一研究；下文“If the website seems incomplete, talk with your teacher or parents.(如果网站看起来不完整，和你的老师或父母谈谈。)”提到了如果网站看起来不完整，可以和老师或父母谈谈。由此可知，设空处是在建议去网站看看。G项“Search your school’s website for a complete list of all the activities it provides.(在你学校的网站上搜索它提供的所有活动的完整列表。)”中的school’s website与下文的the website对应。故选G项。
【40题详解】
设空处位于段末，上文“Once you have a list of activities that match your interests, do a little research.(一旦你有了一个符合你兴趣的活动清单，做一些调查。)”提到了一旦有了自己的兴趣活动清单，可以做一些调查。由此可推知，设空处可能在谈这一建议的好处。D项“In this way, you will have a better idea of what to expect.(这样，你就能更好地知道接下来该期待些什么。)”中的in this way与上文do a little research对应。故选D项。

67. 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。
Adam lived with his parents in one city while his grandparents lived far away in another city. Adam’s parents usually took their son to his grandparents’ house during summer holiday every year and stayed there for around 20 days. Adam’s grandfather loved him very much and spent a lot of time playing with him. His grandmother always cooked delicious food for him. Adam loved his stay there. This continued for years. The boy grew up over time.
One day Adam said to his parents, “Now, I am old enough to go to grandparents’ house alone. So, please let me go by myself.”
His parents didn’t agree at first but Adam insisted(坚持). They finally agreed. But they were worried about his safety. So, they taught him everything he needed to know to travel alone.
The day came when Adam was to leave for his grandparents’ house. And his parents came to see him off at the train station. When the boy was comfortably seated on the train, his parents got off and waited for the train to leave.
While waiting, the father went to the window and kept talking to his son. He handed his son an envelope(信封) from the window and said, “Son, if you feel afraid on the way, open this and read it. It will help you to calm down.”
The boy kept that envelope in his pocket carefully and said goodbye to his parents. When the train was ready to leave, the boy smiled and told his father, “I remember everything. Don’t worry.”
At every station where the train stopped, people kept coming and going. The boy started feeling a little lonely.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;

Then he remembered his father’s letter.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
At one station, a big man with cuts on his face got on the train. He sat down across from Adam and looked at him coldly. Since the boy was traveling alone for the first time, he got frightened seeing that man. So he looked away and tried to sleep. But he couldn’t help thinking about that man, especially the cuts on the man’s face. He wanted to go and ask the train conductor to change his seat but he feared to tell the conductor his idea.
Then he remembered his father’s letter. He put his hand in his pocket quietly and took out the letter. His father had written, “Don’t be afraid, my little brave man. Just imagine I am here with you on the train, in the neighbouring car.” After reading that letter, the boy’s face lit up without any fear. He put back the letter in his pocket, and then put on his headphone. With relaxing music, he soon fell asleep.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Adam独自一个人坐火车去祖父母家的故事。Adam家和祖父母家住在相隔很远的两个城市，但每年暑假，父母都会带Adam去祖父母家。有一天，Adam说自己长大了，想独自去祖父母家。父母很担心，但还是被说服了。上车前，父母叮嘱了Adam很多，还给了Adam一封信，告诉他如果害怕就打开信封看看。
【详解】1.段落续写
由第一段首句内容“在一个车站，一个脸上有伤口的大个子上了火车。”可知，第一段可描写Adam见到这个脸上带着伤疤的大个子后的反应。
由第二段首句内容“这时他想起了父亲的信。”可知，第二段可描写Adam看了父亲给自己写的信后的反应。
2.续写线索：看到脸上带伤疤的大个子——害怕——想换座位——想到父亲的信——看信——镇定下来

In early November of 1942, my geology (地质学) class was supposed to go on a field trip to see the mica mine (云母矿). Although it rained, everyone showed up on time. I was the only girl in the class. We all fit into two cars.
Near Deary, Mr. Tier, our teacher, went into a store to ask about the direction, while townsmen looked at us with curiosity. On the store owner’s advice, we drove out into the hills for a few miles. Then we left the cars. We were afraid they would get stuck in the mud.
Eventually, we located the mine near the top of the mountain. There was a very small hole, running about two or three hundred feet into the mountainside. The passage (通道) was so narrow that we could touch both sides with our hands, and not tall enough to allow us to stand up straight. The first boy held the torch; we took hold of the backs of each other’s coats, in a line, and followed him in, ducking our heads. After getting in, we were disappointed because it was not the mine our teacher was looking for.
The rain was coming down hard as we started back to the cars to go home. Back at Deary, we went into a drugstore and stood around its big heating stove to dry out. The clerk was a middle aged lady. Seeing our entirely wet hair and clothes, she handed each of us a cup of hot water immediately and asked if there was anything wrong with any of us.
Hiking eight miles in the rain had not reduced our interest at all. We all felt we had a wonderful time, even if we didn’t find the mine.
24. Why did the class leave the cars halfway
A. Because their cars broke down in Deary.
B. Because it was not easy to drive in the mud.
C. Because townsmen were curious about their cars.
D. Because the store owner gave them a wrong direction.
25. What does the underlined word “ducking” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Turning. B. Touching. C. Lowering. D. Hitting.
26. Which of the following can best describe the clerk of the drugstore
A. Impatient. B. Careless. C. Hard working. D. Warm hearted.
27. What can we know from the passage
A. The class failed to see the mica mine.
B. The weather terribly influenced the trip.
C. The teacher was not professional enough.
D. The author was not liked by her classmates.
C
Every day for a week, a strange, happy visitor would drop to play with Vanessa Prior’s pet dog Bobby. Prior thought Bobby had made a new dog friend. It seemed very friendly and got well along with Bobby. They would run after each other, play on the pool cover, gently wrestle (摔跤) or nap side by side.
At first she thought it was a wild dog. But when she posted a photo of the two playing on her Facebook, a pet rescue centre called her. The group told her the Atlanta Wolf Project had been trying to catch the wolf for months, but they failed. Prior gave them new hope.
Because of the wolfs friendship with her pet dog, it was likely to come back to her backyard. Researchers hoped Prior could help them. When they put some traps (陷阱) in the back of her yard, Prior got a very complicated (复杂的) feeling. She couldn’t describe what it was. The wolf would be in a safe place, but she would do something that harmed Bobby’s feelings.
Researchers told Prior that they would take the rare, black wolf to the Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary where it would live with another wolf. They didn’t think it a satisfying situation for a wild animal like a wolf to have a connection with humans’ life. They need to keep a natural awareness to humans and pets and keep to themselves.
Wolf experts added they would look into the genetics of the animal to try to learn why it liked to get close to people and tried to play with their pets. Some experts believe it could have a history with well-meaning humans. Prior had not expected that she and Bobby should meet such a special and lovely wolf. They just hoped the dear friend all the best.
28. What happened to Vanessa Prior according to the first two paragraphs
A. She didn’t like her dog’s new friend.
B. She was awarded for her helpful picture.
C. She realised her dog made friends with a wolf.
D. She called the pet rescue centre to catch the wolf.
29. How did Prior feel when some traps were set
A. She was afraid to lose Bobby.
B. She regretted helping the researchers.
C. She was worried about the wolf’s future.
D. She had bittersweet feelings about the wolf.
30. What can be inferred about the black wolf from the last two paragraphs
A. It is a kind and sociable animal.
B. It was once kept as a human pet.
C. It will be sent to the wild to live with other animals.
D. It has a great awareness of keeping away from humans.
31. Where can the passage most probably appear
A. In a nature magazine. B. In a travel guide.
C. In a medical report D. In a scientific research.
D
A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don’t read.
But how to build a habit of reading Like any habit, the trick is in figuring out what suits you. The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading. “I always have a book next to wherever I put my phone,” My friend Jimmy once told me. “So if I want to check my phone,I physically can see the book there. Nine times out of ten. I end up reading the book instead of using my phone for nothing.”
Another challenge is time, and in that case, audio-books (有声书) can be a good choice. Audio-books are great for filling the mind while you’re on the way to work , washing dishes or working out at the gym.
