At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断) with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I couldn’t.

She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person Louis Braile. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Inslead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of. knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problem, why should I ever give up
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words, “See what you can do when you keep trying ”

During their childhood and teenage years, some young people may feel too shy or uncomfortable to interact (互动) with others of their age. Others may simply become too social in the use of technology to try outdoor interactions.
According to Auburn University professors, the experience of interacting with people of their own age is very important for young people. To encourage interaction in your community, arrange a youth social activity. Such activities are a good way to encourage friendship and social development. You can arrange a bike tour through the local community, stopping along the way to interact with other young people and locals. A group hiking trip is another way to keep young people physically active and sociable. Arrange a day’s hike through a forested park. Have them each bring some food to share and stop for a picnic along the way.
Technological development has made many children give up books and social activities in favor of television, computer and video games. Organize a youth weekly reading group to reinforce the value of reading and interacting with others. Organize a list of discussion topics, and choose a day each week for group discussion.
Although many youth social events are; aimed at entertainment (娱乐), it is also important to teach the value of community service. Arrange a trip to a local nursing home and have the young people spend a day socializing with the elderly. Or organize community clean-up and have them work to remove all the rubbish in the areas. Besides, teaching the value of giving back, these activities will allow young people to socialize with one another as well as with other members of the community.
8. How does the author develop the second paragraph
A. By giving examples. B. By providing results.
C. By listing some facts. D. By explaining reasons.
9. What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Compare. B. Explore.
C. Strengthen. D. Appreciate.
10. Why does the author suggest a trip to a local nursing home
A. To teach young people to value the present happy life.
B. To encourage young people to show respect for the old.
C. To make young people know more about the elders’ life.
D. To show young people the value of community service.
11. What is the text mainly about

【导语】本文是说明文。在童年和青少年时期,一些年轻人在与同龄人活动时可能会感到害羞或者不舒服。另一些可能因为太喜欢使用科技,而不想尝试户外互动。本文主要讲述了一些帮助青少年彼此活动的建议。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“According to Auburn University professors, the experience of interacting with people of their own age is very important for young people. To encourage interaction in your community, arrange a youth social activity. Such activities are a good way to encourage friendship and social development. (奥本大学教授认为,与同龄人互动的经历对年轻人来说非常重要。为了鼓励社区内的互动,安排一个青年社会活动。这些活动是促进友谊和交际发展的好方法。)”可知,本段提出与同龄人互动对年轻人很重要,可以通过一些活动促进友谊和社交能力的提高,接下来列举了两个例子“You can arrange a bike tour through the local community…(你可以在当地社区安排一次自行车之旅)”和“A group hiking trip is another way to keep young people physically active and sociable.(团体徒步旅行是让年轻人保持身体活力和社交的另一种方式。)”可推断,作者是通过举例来说明观点的。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“Technological development has made many children give up books and social activities in favor of television, computer and video games.(科技的发展使许多孩子放弃读书和社交活动,而转向看电视、玩电脑和电子游戏。)”可知,科技的发展导致孩子们放弃书籍和社交,因此推断划线句“Organize a youth weekly reading group to reinforce the value of reading and interacting with others.(组织青少年每周读书会,reinforce阅读及与他人互动的重要性。)”说明通过组织每周阅读小组,是为了强化阅读和与他人活动的重要性,划线词与C项“加强;强化”意思相近。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“…it is also important to teach the value of community service. Arrange a trip to a local nursing home and have the young people spend a day socializing with the elderly.(教授社区服务的价值也很重要。安排一次去当地养老院的旅行,让年轻人花一天的时间与老人交流。)”可知,作者建议去当地养老院是为了向年轻人展示社区服务的重要性。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段“During their childhood and teenage years, some young people may feel too shy or uncomfortable to interact (互动) with others of their age. Others may simply become too social in the use of technology to try outdoor interactions.(在他们的童年和青少年时期,一些年轻人在与同龄人活动时可能会感到害羞或者不舒服。另一些人可能只是因为太喜欢使用科技,而不想尝试户外互动。)”提出问题,青少年缺少互动,第二段的“To encourage interaction in your community, arrange a youth social activity.(为了鼓励在你的社区里的互动,安排一次青少年社交活动。)”讲述可以通过一些社交活动让青少年互动,下文列举了一些类似的活动,第三段提出科技阻碍了青少年与他人互动,并列举一些活动,最后一段介绍了社区服务可以教授青少年回馈社会。因此推断本文主要讲述了一些帮助青少年彼此活动的建议。故选D。
D
Improved air quality to reduce ozone (臭氧) pollution may have avoided the loss of 1.5 billion birds during the past 40 years, a study found. That’s nearly 20% of bird life in the United States today.
Ozone, a gas that appears in nature, is also produced by human activities, including by power plants and cars. The ozone in the upper atmosphere protects the Earth from the harmful ultraviolet rays (紫外线) of the sun. But ground-level ozone is harmful and pollutes the air we breathe.
To examine the relationship between bird populations and air pollution, the researchers used models that connected bird observations from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s eBird program with ground-level pollution data. They tracked monthly changes in bird populations, air quality, and regulation status (治理现状) for 3,214 US counties over a period of 15 years. The findings suggest that ozone pollution is most harmful to the small birds — such as sparrows, warblers and finches — that make up 86% of all North American land-bird species. Ozone pollution directly harms birds by damaging their breathing systems, and indirectly harms their food sources.
“Not only can ozone cause direct physical damage to birds, but it also can harm plant health and reduce numbers of the insects that birds eat,” said co-author Amanda Rodewald. “Not surprisingly, birds that cannot get high-quality habitat or food resources are less likely to survive or reproduce successfully. The good news here is that environmental policies intended to protect human health and return important benefits to birds too.”
This work contributes to our ever increasing understanding of the connection of environmental health and human health.
12. How many birds are there in the United States now
A. 0.75 billion. B. 1.5 billion.
C. 3 billion. D. 7.5 billion.
13. What is the result of the findings
A. Ozone pollution harms birds’ food sources indirectly.
B. 86% of North American land-bird species are extinct.
C. 3214 counties in America have effective regulations.
D. The researchers have observed birds for many years.
14. What is Amanda Rodewald’s attitude towards birds’ future in the US
A. Worried. B. Positive.
C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.
15. What is the suitable title for the text
A. Ground-Level Ozone Makes up Most of the Air We Breathe
B. Environmental Policies Intend to Protect Human Health
C. Reduced Ozone Pollution May Have Avoided Bird Deaths
D. Regulations Bring Important Protection Benefits to Birds
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是一项研究发现,为减少臭氧污染而改善的空气质量可能在过去40年里避免了15亿只鸟类的损失。这几乎是今天美国鸟类生命的20%。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Improved air quality to reduce ozone (臭氧) pollution may have avoided the loss of 1.5 billion birds during the past 40 years, a study found. That’s nearly 20% of bird life in the United States today.(一项研究发现,为减少臭氧污染而改善的空气质量可能在过去40年里避免了15亿只鸟类的损失。这几乎是今天美国鸟类生命的20%。)”可知,现在美国的鸟的数量是15亿除以20%,即75亿,故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The findings suggest that ozone pollution is most harmful to the small birds—such as sparrows, warblers and finches—that make up 86% of all North American land-bird species. Ozone pollution directly harms birds by damaging their breathing systems, and indirectly harms their food sources.(研究结果表明,臭氧污染对麻雀、莺和雀鸟等小型鸟类的危害最大,这些鸟类占北美陆地鸟类的86%。臭氧污染通过破坏鸟类的呼吸系统直接伤害鸟类,并间接伤害它们的食物来源。)”可知,调查结果是臭氧污染间接危害鸟类的食物来源。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“The good news here is that environmental policies intended to protect human health and return important benefits to birds too.(好消息是,环境政策旨在保护人类健康,并将重要的利益回报给鸟类。)”可知,Amanda Rodewald对鸟类在美国的未来持的态度是积极的。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“Improved air quality to reduce ozone (臭氧) pollution may have avoided the loss of 1.5 billion birds during the past 40 years, a study found.(一项研究发现,为减少臭氧污染而改善的空气质量可能在过去40年里避免了15亿只鸟类的损失。)”可知,本文主要讲的是一项研究发现,为减少臭氧污染而改善的空气质量可能在过去40年里避免了15亿只鸟类的损失,因此本文最恰当的题目是C选项“Reduced Ozone Pollution May Have Avoided Bird Deaths(减少臭氧污染可能避免了鸟类的死亡)”,故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文中的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For many, public speaking can be quite challenging, but it doesn’t mean we can’t improve. Here, a professor offered three tips to help.
Do not over prepare
____16____ When speakers over prepare their speeches, it can be attractive to include too much information and material. Sometimes young speakers will try to analyze a topic from an adult’s perspective, using complex words they don’t understand.
Listen to the questions or topics carefully
Though speeches can be prepared in advance, there is still the challenge of answering questions from judges.____17____ Here the professor gave an example: A contestant talked about her dog’s bravery, and the judges asked if she could offer an example. Instead of talking about bravery, she rambled on (漫谈) about different types of dogs such as guide dogs and police dogs. It was not to the point, and not an effective answer.
____18____
Compassion (同理心) is important for public speakers.____19____ The professor offered another example: When a contestant mentioned that hitting a snowman is fun, the judge asked,“ Have you ever thought about the snowman’s feelings ”Without consideration, the boy replied, “Snowmen do not have emotions. ”
If the contestant had given a humorous answer, he could have a much better interaction with the audience.____20____
A. Put yourself in others’ shoes.
B. It helps the audience relate to the speaker.
C. Practing is of great help to a speaker.
D. Listening carefully can help you be an effective, focused speaker.
E. Therefore, he was not a good speaker.
F. As the professor put it, “Communication is the final purpose of public speaking.”
G. Practicing may help speakers not feel as nervous, but over-preparing can be a pitfall (隐患).
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. A 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一位教授就如何提高演讲能力所给的一些建议。
【16题详解】
根据下文“When speakers over prepare their speeches, it can be attractive to include too much information and material. Sometimes young speakers will try to analyze a topic from an adult’s perspective, using complex words they don’t understand.(当演讲者过度准备演讲时,可能会包含过多的信息和材料来让演讲吸引力。有时,年轻的演讲者会试图从成年人的角度分析一个话题,使用他们不理解的复杂单词。)”可知,这里主要讲过度准备的的缺点,而G项“Practicing may help speakers not feel as nervous, but over-preparing can be a pitfall (隐患).(练习可以帮助演讲者不那么紧张,但过度准备可能是一个隐患。)”符合语境,其中over-preparing与上下文对应,a pitfall有启下作用。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Though speeches can be prepared in advance, there is still the challenge of answering questions from judges.(尽管演讲可以提前准备,但回答法官的问题仍然是一个挑战。)”可知,这里主要讲回答裁判的问题仍然是一个挑战,而D项“Listening carefully can help you be an effective, focused speaker.(认真倾听可以帮助你成为一个高效、专注的演讲者。)”符合语境,其中“Listening carefully”和小标题对应,“an effective, focused speaker”也与上文“answering questions from judges”对应,所以本句有承上作用。故选D项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Compassion (同理心) is important for public speakers.(同理心对公众演讲者来说很重要。)”可知,本段主要讲述的是要站在别人的角度看问题。而A项“Put yourself in others’ shoes(设身处地为别人着想)”符合语境,对下文有总括作用,适合作本段小标题。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Compassion (同理心) is important for public speakers.(同理心对公众演讲者来说很重要。)”和下文内容“The professor offered another example: When a contestant mentioned that hitting a snowman is fun, the judge asked,‘ Have you ever thought about the snowman’s feelings ’Without consideration, the boy replied, ‘Snowmen do not have emotions. ’(这位教授举了另一个例子:当一名参赛者提到打雪人很有趣时,评委问道:‘你想过雪人的感受吗?’男孩毫不犹豫地回答:‘雪人没有情绪。’)”可知,空处提到的应该是具有同理心的好处。B项“It helps the audience relate to the speaker.(它有助于听众与演讲者建立联系。)”符合语境,其中的it指代上文中的Compassion。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“If the contestant had given a humorous answer, he could have a much better interaction with the audience(如果参赛者给出一个幽默的回答,他可以更好地与观众互动。)”可知,这里主要讲幽默可以让参赛者和观众更好交流互动。而F项“As the professor put it, “Communication is the final purpose of public speaking.”(正如这位教授所说,‘沟通是公开演讲的最终目的。’)”符合语境,其中“Communication”与上文“a much better interaction with the audience”对应,有承上作用。故选F项。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Driving on the mountain roads where I live can be both a great pleasure and an adventure at times. Yet, you should always look out for holes, deer, skunks and squirrels crossing the road, as well as fallen trees and broken rocks that have rolled down the side of the hill.
I came upon one of those rocks just the other day. I saw a car turn around it and the truck just ahead of me run over it. I turned too and then quickly pulled over to a wide place. I knew a rock that size would break parts of a low riding car like mine if the driver didn’t see it in time to move.I walked over and picked up the huge stone. It must have weighed 50 pounds but I tried my best,and finally I got it into the ditch(沟)and walked smiling back to my car.
The happening reminded me of an old story I had read once. In a faraway land a king had placed a huge rock on the road leading to his palace. Many nobles walked by and around it complaining(抱怨)that the king didn’t keep the road up better.Finally,a poor farmer arrived pulling a cart of vegetables. He stopped and rolled the rock off the road with all his strength. Then he saw under it was a bag of gold coins that the king had left for the one who cleared the path for those who came after.
Now while there wasn’t any bag of treasure under the rock I moved, my heart did feel a little more golden as I walked back to my car. Maybe the real reward(奖励)is the love we feel,the good we do and the kindness we share. Then an idea came to my mind: why not make the road safer to drive on
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。
I told my friends what I thought.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now we are trying our best to help drivers and keep the road safe.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I told my friends what I thought. They were all amazed by the inspirational idea and applauded. Actions speak louder than words. Immediately, we began to make concrete plans about it. One said that we should plant flags where there were holes to remind drivers to be careful. As if inspired, another said excitedly that we could also put billboards on places where animals, like deer, skunks and squirrels, would always come and go. I smiled with relief and put forward that maybe it was also a good idea that we should find all the fallen stones and remove them as we drove along the road.
Now we are trying our best to help drivers and keep the road safe. All of us are busy planting flags, putting billboards and removing stones and we are all satisfied with what we have done. When I'm removing a stone, a driver gives me a thumbs-up, happily saying, “Your hearts are like gold.” I’m thrilled, thinking of the king again. Suddenly, another good idea hit me-maybe I can take some pictures and post them on the Facebook to appeal for more attention.
【解析】
【导语】本文以主人公在山路上开车遇到掉落的石头展开,想到石头可能带来的危险,作者下车把石头挪开并扔到沟里。作者的行为让他自己想到一个故事:一个国王在通往自己宫殿的路中间放了块石头,很多人绕行甚至抱怨,直到一位贫穷的农民出现,把它弄走,却发现了石头下面的金币。作者由此想到自己的行为虽然没人看到,但是奖励善行的是我们感到的爱和善良。因此,他也产生了一个想法:为什么不让道路更安全呢?
【详解】1. 段落续写:
由第一段首句内容“我把我的想法告诉我的朋友们”可知,第一段可围绕“想法”来展开,我和朋友们集思广益,出谋划策提出解决办法。
由第二段首句内容“现在我们正尽最大努力帮助司机保持道路安全”可知,我们把想法付诸了实践。

At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断) with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I couldn’t.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems I might not be able to do it.”
She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person Louis Braile. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Inslead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of. knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problem, why should I ever give up
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words, “See what you can do when you keep trying ”

During their childhood and teenage years, some young people may feel too shy or uncomfortable to interact (互动) with others of their age. Others may simply become too social in the use of technology to try outdoor interactions.
According to Auburn University professors, the experience of interacting with people of their own age is very important for young people. To encourage interaction in your community, arrange a youth social activity. Such activities are a good way to encourage friendship and social development. You can arrange a bike tour through the local community, stopping along the way to interact with other young people and locals. A group hiking trip is another way to keep young people physically active and sociable. Arrange a day’s hike through a forested park. Have them each bring some food to share and stop for a picnic along the way.
Technological development has made many children give up books and social activities in favor of television, computer and video games. Organize a youth weekly reading group to reinforce the value of reading and interacting with others. Organize a list of discussion topics, and choose a day each week for group discussion.
Although many youth social events are; aimed at entertainment (娱乐), it is also important to teach the value of community service. Arrange a trip to a local nursing home and have the young people spend a day socializing with the elderly. Or organize community clean-up and have them work to remove all the rubbish in the areas. Besides, teaching the value of giving back, these activities will allow young people to socialize with one another as well as with other members of the community.
8. How does the author develop the second paragraph
A. By giving examples. B. By providing results.
C. By listing some facts. D. By explaining reasons.
9. What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Compare. B. Explore.
C. Strengthen. D. Appreciate.
10. Why does the author suggest a trip to a local nursing home
A. To teach young people to value the present happy life.
B. To encourage young people to show respect for the old.
C. To make young people know more about the elders’ life.
D. To show young people the value of community service.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Some common problems of young people.
B. Some ways to teach the value of giving back.
C. Some methods to improve teenagers’ relationship.
D. Some suggestions to help youth interact with each other.

Improved air quality to reduce ozone (臭氧) pollution may have avoided the loss of 1.5 billion birds during the past 40 years, a study found. That’s nearly 20% of bird life in the United States today.
Ozone, a gas that appears in nature, is also produced by human activities, including by power plants and cars. The ozone in the upper atmosphere protects the Earth from the harmful ultraviolet rays (紫外线) of the sun. But ground-level ozone is harmful and pollutes the air we breathe.
To examine the relationship between bird populations and air pollution, the researchers used models that connected bird observations from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s eBird program with ground-level pollution data. They tracked monthly changes in bird populations, air quality, and regulation status (治理现状) for 3,214 US counties over a period of 15 years. The findings suggest that ozone pollution is most harmful to the small birds — such as sparrows, warblers and finches — that make up 86% of all North American land-bird species. Ozone pollution directly harms birds by damaging their breathing systems, and indirectly harms their food sources.
“Not only can ozone cause direct physical damage to birds, but it also can harm plant health and reduce numbers of the insects that birds eat,” said co-author Amanda Rodewald. “Not surprisingly, birds that cannot get high-quality habitat or food resources are less likely to survive or reproduce successfully. The good news here is that environmental policies intended to protect human health and return important benefits to birds too.”
This work contributes to our ever increasing understanding of the connection of environmental health and human health.

For many, public speaking can be quite challenging, but it doesn’t mean we can’t improve. Here, a professor offered three tips to help.
Do not over prepare
____16____ When speakers over prepare their speeches, it can be attractive to include too much information and material. Sometimes young speakers will try to analyze a topic from an adult’s perspective, using complex words they don’t understand.
Listen to the questions or topics carefully
Though speeches can be prepared in advance, there is still the challenge of answering questions from judges.____17____ Here the professor gave an example: A contestant talked about her dog’s bravery, and the judges asked if she could offer an example. Instead of talking about bravery, she rambled on (漫谈) about different types of dogs such as guide dogs and police dogs. It was not to the point, and not an effective answer.
____18____
Compassion (同理心) is important for public speakers.____19____ The professor offered another example: When a contestant mentioned that hitting a snowman is fun, the judge asked,“ Have you ever thought about the snowman’s feelings ”Without consideration, the boy replied, “Snowmen do not have emotions. ”
If the contestant had given a humorous answer, he could have a much better interaction with the audience.____20____
A. Put yourself in others’ shoes.
B. It helps the audience relate to the speaker.
C. Practing is of great help to a speaker.
D. Listening carefully can help you be an effective, focused speaker.
E. Therefore, he was not a good speaker.
F. As the professor put it, “Communication is the final purpose of public speaking.”
G. Practicing may help speakers not feel as nervous, but over-preparing can be a pitfall (隐患).

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Driving on the mountain roads where I live can be both a great pleasure and an adventure at times. Yet, you should always look out for holes, deer, skunks and squirrels crossing the road, as well as fallen trees and broken rocks that have rolled down the side of the hill.
I came upon one of those rocks just the other day. I saw a car turn around it and the truck just ahead of me run over it. I turned too and then quickly pulled over to a wide place. I knew a rock that size would break parts of a low riding car like mine if the driver didn’t see it in time to move.I walked over and picked up the huge stone. It must have weighed 50 pounds but I tried my best,and finally I got it into the ditch(沟)and walked smiling back to my car.
The happening reminded me of an old story I had read once. In a faraway land a king had placed a huge rock on the road leading to his palace. Many nobles walked by and around it complaining(抱怨)that the king didn’t keep the road up better.Finally,a poor farmer arrived pulling a cart of vegetables. He stopped and rolled the rock off the road with all his strength. Then he saw under it was a bag of gold coins that the king had left for the one who cleared the path for those who came after.
Now while there wasn’t any bag of treasure under the rock I moved, my heart did feel a little more golden as I walked back to my car. Maybe the real reward(奖励)is the love we feel,the good we do and the kindness we share. Then an idea came to my mind: why not make the road safer to drive on
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

I told my friends what I thought.
