One of my very earliest memories took place on October 4,1957.That was the day that Russia-which was then known as the Soviet Union-launched (发射) Sputnik, the first satellite (人造卫星) to orbit (绕轨道运行) the Earth.
I remember standing at the front yard, looking at the sky for a moving star that could be Sputnik passing over the city of Baltimore. We never did see Sputnik, but never mind. From that day onward, I focused on space. I grew up during the days when the first astronauts went into orbit, left their spaceship and took their first walks in space. I watched Apollo 11 land and Neil Armstrong become the first human to walk on the moon. I watched the landing on TV, with 250 other kids at a space camp named Camp Comet.
As I got older, I knew that I wanted to become a space reporter and a space author. Writing about space has allowed me to be present for the final launch of the space shuttle in 2011. It’s allowed me to watch the launch of a Soyuz rocket-taking NASA astronaut Scott Kelly to the International Space Station for his year in space. It’s allowed me to go to NASA’s Mission Control in Houston, Texas. It’s allowed me to see the Cassini spaceship, in Pasadena, California.
To my joy, I’ve written several books about space, including Apollo 13. That book became the basic story for the 1995 movie about the three astronauts’ exploring the moon in 1970. When I was a boy, I followed it closely, worrying about whether the astronauts would make it home. Their leader, Jim Lovell, was one of my childhood heroes. I had his picture on the wall of my bedroom. It was a great honor for me to work with him on the book when I grew up.
4. What made the author begin to pay attention to space
A Trying to watch Sputnik. B. Attending Camp Comet.
C. Hoping to walk in space. D. Seeing Apollo 11 on TV.
5. What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 3
A. His space dreams. B. His space exploration.
C. His astronaut career. D. His work as a reporter.
6. What do we know about Jim Lovell
A. He influenced the author greatly. B. He is a famous film director.
C. He is a character of Apollo 13. D. He wrote the book Apollo 8.
7. What can we learn from the author’s story
A. It’s never too young to learn. B. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
C. Rome was not built in a day. D. Interest is the best teacher.
C
Chinstrap penguins (帽带企鹅) in Antarctica have adapted to hard conditions by sleeping in a very unusual way.
Like other penguins,chinstrap penguins spend much of their time in the water,catching fish to eat. But when the time comes to raise their young, they return to land. Raising young penguins is a challenge. The eggs are often laid in “homes” made of small rocks to keep the eggs from the cold. One parent takes care of the home for long periods of time, while the other parent hunts for food. The parent must often keep a sharp lookout. Birds called brown skuas attack the eggs and young penguins of careless parents. Other penguins in these crowded areas may take stones from the home, putting the young in danger. But it’s hard to stay vigilant and protect a home 24 hours a day. Getting a good night’s sleep could be deadly for the young. How do chinstrap penguins solve the problem
So a group of scientists began to study them. They recorded the birds on video.Eleven days of studying the penguins discovered that the tired parents were actually sleeping. They take thousands of tiny naps (小睡) each day. Each nap lasts only about 4seconds. By taking over 10,000 naps a day,the scientists say the penguins get a daily total of about 11 hours of sleep. They do it 24/7 for several weeks at a time. They can keep going and raise their young.
It’s not clear if the naps allow the penguins to actually feel rested, or if it’s just enough to allow them to keep going. The scientists don’t know yet if the penguins sleep this way at other times of the year, or only when they’re raising their young. They also don’t know if other kinds of penguins have similar sleeping habits.
8. What can be learnt about chinstrap penguins from paragraph 2
A. They live on land most of their time.
B. They work together to raise the family.
C. They are brown skuas’ natural enemies.
D. They put their kids in the water for safety.
9. What does the underlined word “vigilant” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Warm. B. Careful. C. Brave. D. Hungry.
10. What did the scientists find about chinstrap penguins’ sleep
A. They get tired easily even if they sleep well.
B. They always go to sleep with their eyes open.
C. They sleep for so long that it affects their health.
D. They sleep often and have a short sleep each time.
11. What does the author think of the scientists’ research result
A. It’s doubtful. B. It’s surprising. C. It’s not complete. D. It’s disappointing.
D
A team of students, known as Solar Team Eindhoven, in the Netherlands has designed and built a powerful car that’s completely powered by the sun.
Students at Eindhoven University of Technology have been working on solar-powered(太阳能)cars for years. The car they’ve built is called Stella Terra, the first solar-powered car that can travel off-road for long distances. They designed the entire car. On top were the solar panels(电池板). Most solar panels are only about 20％ efficient.That means they waste about 80% of the sunlight they get. But the Stella Terra’s solar panels are 97% efficient.They waste far less sunlight than even the best solar panels you can buy.
Like most electric cars, the Stella Terra stores energy in a battery(电池).Thanks to its powerful solar panels and its battery, when it’s sunny, the car can run for 710kilometers a day. Stella Terra has a top speed of 145 kph. The car weighs just 1,200kilograms. That’s about two-thirds the weight of a typical car.
The team recently took the car on its biggest test-1,000-kilometer test drive across Morocco. The car had to travel through forests as well as dry river-beds. It had to drive across desert sand and up steep mountain areas. It succeeded in doing all of this-and all without ever stopping at a charging station.
The team is very proud of their car, but they won’t be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas. In fact, they hope that the Stella Terra will help inspire car companies to work on similar projects. But despite their success, the students think it will take 5 to 10years before car companies are able to build a similar car and that it needs much money.
12. What is special about the Stella Terra’s solar panels
A They make the best of solar energy. B. They can be used by off-road cars.
C. They can work well on rainy days. D. They soon get plenty of solar power.
13. What can we say about the biggest test on Stella Terra
A. Time-consuming. B. Challenging. C. Inexpensive. D. Unnecessary.
14. What do the students want to do with their achievement
A. Develop more kinds of new cars. B. Sell the technology to earn money.
C. Build companies to make the car. D. Allow others to use the technology.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Solar Battery Could Do Good to the Earth
B. Solar-Powered Car Is Already on the Way
C. Students Create Great Solar-Powered Car
D. Students Are Making Use of Solar Energy

One of my very earliest memories took place on October 4,1957.That was the day that Russia-which was then known as the Soviet Union-launched (发射) Sputnik, the first satellite (人造卫星) to orbit (绕轨道运行) the Earth.
I remember standing at the front yard, looking at the sky for a moving star that could be Sputnik passing over the city of Baltimore. We never did see Sputnik, but never mind. From that day onward, I focused on space. I grew up during the days when the first astronauts went into orbit, left their spaceship and took their first walks in space. I watched Apollo 11 land and Neil Armstrong become the first human to walk on the moon. I watched the landing on TV, with 250 other kids at a space camp named Camp Comet.
As I got older, I knew that I wanted to become a space reporter and a space author. Writing about space has allowed me to be present for the final launch of the space shuttle in 2011. It’s allowed me to watch the launch of a Soyuz rocket-taking NASA astronaut Scott Kelly to the International Space Station for his year in space. It’s allowed me to go to NASA’s Mission Control in Houston, Texas. It’s allowed me to see the Cassini spaceship, in Pasadena, California.
To my joy, I’ve written several books about space, including Apollo 13. That book became the basic story for the 1995 movie about the three astronauts’ exploring the moon in 1970. When I was a boy, I followed it closely, worrying about whether the astronauts would make it home. Their leader, Jim Lovell, was one of my childhood heroes. I had his picture on the wall of my bedroom. It was a great honor for me to work with him on the book when I grew up.
4. What made the author begin to pay attention to space
A. Trying to watch Sputnik. B. Attending Camp Comet.
C. Hoping to walk in space. D. Seeing Apollo 11 on TV.
5. What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 3
A. His space dreams. B. His space exploration.
C. His astronaut career. D. His work as a reporter.
6. What do we know about Jim Lovell
A. He influenced the author greatly. B. He is a famous film director.
C. He is a character of Apollo 13. D. He wrote the book Apollo 8.
7. What can we learn from the author’s story
A. It’s never too young to learn. B. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
C. Rome was not built in a day. D. Interest is the best teacher.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. D

Chinstrap penguins (帽带企鹅) in Antarctica have adapted to hard conditions by sleeping in a very unusual way.
Like other penguins,chinstrap penguins spend much of their time in the water,catching fish to eat. But when the time comes to raise their young, they return to land. Raising young penguins is a challenge. The eggs are often laid in “homes” made of small rocks to keep the eggs from the cold. One parent takes care of the home for long periods of time, while the other parent hunts for food. The parent must often keep a sharp lookout. Birds called brown skuas attack the eggs and young penguins of careless parents. Other penguins in these crowded areas may take stones from the home, putting the young in danger. But it’s hard to stay vigilant and protect a home 24 hours a day. Getting a good night’s sleep could be deadly for the young. How do chinstrap penguins solve the problem
So a group of scientists began to study them. They recorded the birds on video.Eleven days of studying the penguins discovered that the tired parents were actually sleeping. They take thousands of tiny naps (小睡) each day. Each nap lasts only about 4seconds. By taking over 10,000 naps a day,the scientists say the penguins get a daily total of about 11 hours of sleep. They do it 24/7 for several weeks at a time. They can keep going and raise their young.
It’s not clear if the naps allow the penguins to actually feel rested, or if it’s just enough to allow them to keep going. The scientists don’t know yet if the penguins sleep this way at other times of the year, or only when they’re raising their young. They also don’t know if other kinds of penguins have similar sleeping habits.
8. What can be learnt about chinstrap penguins from paragraph 2
A. They live on land most of their time.
B. They work together to raise the family.
C. They are brown skuas’ natural enemies.
D. They put their kids in the water for safety.
9. What does the underlined word “vigilant” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Warm. B. Careful. C. Brave. D. Hungry.
10. What did the scientists find about chinstrap penguins’ sleep
A. They get tired easily even if they sleep well.
B. They always go to sleep with their eyes open.
C. They sleep for so long that it affects their health.
D. They sleep often and have a short sleep each time.
11. What does the author think of the scientists’ research result
A. It’s doubtful. B. It’s surprising. C. It’s not complete. D. It’s disappointing.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南极洲的帽带企鹅通过一种非常不寻常的睡眠方式来适应艰苦的环境。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One parent takes care of the home for long periods of time, while the other parent hunts for food. The parent must often keep a sharp lookout. Birds called brown skuas attack the eggs and young penguins of careless parents.(父母中的一方长时间照顾家庭，而另一方则外出觅食。父母必须时刻保持警惕。一种叫褐贼鸥的鸟会攻击粗心的父母产下的蛋和小企鹅)”可知，帽带企鹅一起抚养小企鹅。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Other penguins in these crowded areas may take stones from the home ,putting the young in danger.(在这些拥挤地区的其他企鹅可能会从家里拿走石头，把小企鹅置于危险之中)”以及划线单词句中“But it’s hard…and protect a home 24 hours a day.(一天24小时保护一个家是很难的)”及常识可知，要时刻保持警惕，一天24小时保护一个家是很难的。由此推知，划线单词vigilant为“警惕的”的意思，与B项Careful“小心的，谨慎的”意思一致。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Eleven days of studying the penguins discovered that the tired parents were actually sleeping. They take thousands of tiny naps (小睡) each day. Each nap lasts only about 4seconds. By taking over 10,000 naps a day, the scientists say the penguins get a daily total of about 11 hours of sleep.(经过11天的研究发现，疲惫的企鹅父母实际上是在睡觉。他们每天小睡上千次。每次小睡只持续4秒左右。科学家们说，企鹅每天小睡1万多次，每天总共睡11个小时左右)”可知，科学家们发现帽带企鹅经常睡觉，但是每次都睡得很短。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The scientists don’t know yet if the penguins sleep this way at other times of the year, or only when they’re raising their young. They also don’t know if other kinds of penguins have similar sleeping habits.(科学家们还不知道企鹅在一年中的其他时候是否也这样睡觉，或者只有在抚养孩子的时候才这样睡觉。他们也不知道其他种类的企鹅是否有类似的睡眠习惯)”可推知，作者认为目前科学家的研究成果是不完整的。故选C项。

A team of students, known as Solar Team Eindhoven, in the Netherlands has designed and built a powerful car that’s completely powered by the sun.
Students at Eindhoven University of Technology have been working on solar-powered(太阳能)cars for years. The car they’ve built is called Stella Terra, the first solar-powered car that can travel off-road for long distances. They designed the entire car. On top were the solar panels(电池板). Most solar panels are only about 20％ efficient.That means they waste about 80% of the sunlight they get. But the Stella Terra’s solar panels are 97% efficient.They waste far less sunlight than even the best solar panels you can buy.
Like most electric cars, the Stella Terra stores energy in a battery(电池).Thanks to its powerful solar panels and its battery, when it’s sunny, the car can run for 710kilometers a day. Stella Terra has a top speed of 145 kph. The car weighs just 1,200kilograms. That’s about two-thirds the weight of a typical car.
The team recently took the car on its biggest test-1,000-kilometer test drive across Morocco. The car had to travel through forests as well as dry river-beds. It had to drive across desert sand and up steep mountain areas. It succeeded in doing all of this-and all without ever stopping at a charging station.
The team is very proud of their car, but they won’t be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas. In fact, they hope that the Stella Terra will help inspire car companies to work on similar projects. But despite their success, the students think it will take 5 to 10years before car companies are able to build a similar car and that it needs much money.
12. What is special about the Stella Terra’s solar panels
A. They make the best of solar energy. B. They can be used by off-road cars.
C. They can work well on rainy days. D. They soon get plenty of solar power.
13. What can we say about the biggest test on Stella Terra
A. Time-consuming. B. Challenging. C. Inexpensive. D. Unnecessary.
14 What do the students want to do with their achievement
A. Develop more kinds of new cars. B. Sell the technology to earn money.
C. Build companies to make the car. D. Allow others to use the technology.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Solar Battery Could Do Good to the Earth
B. Solar-Powered Car Is Already on the Way
C. Students Create Great Solar-Powered Car
D. Students Are Making Use of Solar Energy
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. C

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了查理的朋友都有各自的天赋，但是他认为他自己却没有。他的朋友简对他说，他种的蔬菜就很好，自己对种蔬菜很不擅长，老是种不好。这时，查理才意识到自己实际上也有值得骄傲的天赋。这个故事告诉我们：人人都有各自的天赋，我们要善于发现自己的长处。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：他很感兴趣，就去检查自己是否足够好。根据句意可知，这里指的是查理看到有歌唱团在招收歌手，他对此有兴趣，就去试一试。因此，要用形容词interested“感兴趣的”，作状语，修饰主语的状态。故填Interested。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在学校的假期里，他一直在努力寻找自己的天赋，但总是感到失望。分析句子可知，此处为动词短语keep doing sth“一直做某事”，所以此处为动名词形式。故填trying。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：假期快结束时，查理又见到了他的朋友丁加尼和简。End后面有of the holidays限制，因此，这里要用定冠词，表示特指这个假期快要结束的时候。故填the。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：然后查理问简关于音乐会的事，简说就在第二天，她要独唱。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，结合上下文时态可知，此处应为陈述过去发生的事情，为一般过去时。故填said。
【40题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：听到他们的话，查理感到很高兴。分析句子可知，此处为连接代词what引导的宾语从句，what在从句中作宾语成分，意为“说话的内容”。故填what。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：他向他们表示祝贺，但也表示希望有值得骄傲的东西。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语be proud of“因……感到骄傲”，所以此处为介词of的填入。故填of。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态及主谓一致。句意：你花园里的蔬菜很大，看起来很好吃！分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，句子陈述目前事实，应用一般现在时，本句的的主语是The vegetables，be动词使用are。故填are。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：我真希望我有你在植物方面的天赋。由空后talent为名词可知，此处为形容词性物主代词，修饰talent。故填your。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：查理惊讶地说：“真的吗？”根据句意可知，这里是口语中的单词成句现象，要用副词形式，表示“真的吗？”故填Really。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他微笑着邀请他们第二天过来共进晚餐，庆祝丁加尼的足球胜利。分析句子可知，此处为动词不定式to do表示“为了……”，作目的状语。故填to celebrate。
第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节，满分20分)
I’m handicapped (残疾). I often shop at a large store. I can get a handicapped cart (推车) there, and it’s a one-stop kind of shopping, so I don’t have to get in and out of the car several times to get everything I need.
One day, I was trying hard to move my shopping from the cart to my car when a woman and her two young daughters walked by. They stopped, turned around and came back to ask me if they could help me put my shopping in the car.
I was so surprised that I couldn’t say anything. She was very nice and introduced herself. She thought I looked like I could need some help. The two girls were quiet but friendly, and they were very careful of the shopping.
When the cart was empty, one of the girls said that she would return it to the store for me. Then the mother said, “You do have someone at home to help you move all this, don’t you ” I told her that I did not, but I could manage, especially since they had helped me already. She asked if I would allow her to follow me home and help me take my shopping into the house. I was again surprised and did not answer her at once. She told me that she meant me no harm, repeating that she just wanted to be of help to me.
I was too touched to say a word. This woman showed me and her daughters what it really means to love one another.
