Jo o Carlos Martins, the 80-year-old Brazilian classical pianist, had lost the ability to play for almost 20 years due to a series of unfortunate events in his life. But everything changed thanks to a pair of special bionic (仿生的) gloves.
He is one of the best pianists alive today. He had already won a contest playing Bach when he was only 8 years old. Then at the peak of his skills, he could play 21 notes per second. However, luck wasn’t always on his side. At 24 years old, he suffered an accident that caused nerve damage to his arm, atrophying (使萎缩) three of his fingers. Then when he was 55, an accidental brain injury completely paralyzed (使瘫痪) his arm.
Jo o went through 24 surgeries, but nothing could help his hands, forcing him to stop playing the piano, seemingly for good.
However, Jo o didn’t give up on his musical career. He became a conductor in 2003. He couldn’t turn the pages in the score, so instead, he just tried his best to memorize every score, note by note. He still played the piano sometimes, but extremely slow, since he could play only one note per second.
That might have been his life, were it not for an engineer who saw the pianist playing live and decided to work out something to help him. After a concert, he approached Jo o with the first pair of special bionic gloves. Yet, they didn’t work. When the engineer first showed Jo o the gloves, he joked that they were for boxing, not to play the piano.
But neither of them gave up, and after testing out several models, the perfect match was created. The gloves provide the necessary support for each finger and can even “tune” to what he plays.
Jo o knows that he might never recover his speed of the past. But he’s starting over as though he were an 8-year-old again. Jo o says, it can take years, but he will keep pushing. He won’t give up.
4. What can we learn about Jo o Carlos Martins from the second paragraph
A. He lost three fingers during an accident.
B. He showed great talent for the piano as a child.
C. He went through many hardships to succeed.
D. He suffered brain injuries when he was young.
5. What did Jo o do after a series of misfortunes
A. He asked engineers for help. B. He lost hope for his future life.
C. He prepared to give up his dream. D. He struggled to continue his career.
6. What did Jo o think of the first pair of special bionic gloves
A They should be improved. B. They cost too much money.
C. They were too heavy to carry. D. They could bring fun to his life.
7. Which of the following can best describe Jo o Carlos Martins
A. Smart and helpful. B. Gifted and confident.
C. Determined and positive. D. Creative and generous.
C
“Hello” is a relatively new greeting. It first appeared sometime in the mid-1800s, but many people would not have dreamed of using it. “Hello” was considered a very impolite way to greet someone. Instead, people used formal expressions like “How do you do ”
Back then, there were several words that sounded like “hello,” but they were used to get someone’s attention or to express surprise. For example, if you caught your little brother stealing your snack, you might have said, “Halloa there! Stop eating my cheese!” If you found a fly in your soup, you might have shouted, “Hullo! How did that get in there ”
Everything started to change in 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. The first telephones didn’t have numbers you could dial, nor did they have bells or ringers. Instead, your telephone sent signals along telephone lines to a central office where an operator would answer by saying something like “Are you there, sir ” or “What is wanted ” The operator would then connect your phone to the phone of the person you wanted to reach. There was just one small problem: Since telephones didn’t ring, how would the person you were calling know that you were “on the line” The answer is you would yell (大喊) into your phone and hope someone on the other end heard you. But what would you yell And what would the person you were calling say when they were going to answer Bell suggested “Ahoy! Ahoy!” but it didn’t catch on. Then the famous inventor Thomas Edison suggested the word hello. That caught on right away.
“Hello” became so popular that by 1878 telephone operators were required to use it. In fact, operators received the nickname (绰号) “Hello Girls.” Soon, “hello” became not just the standard way to answer the phone, but an accepted way to greet people in person.
8. Why was “hello” seldom used when it first appeared
A. It was too informal.
B. It was hard to pronounce.
C. It was considered to be rude.
D. There were other words like “hello”.
9. “Hullo” was used to show something _____.
A. interesting B. exciting
C. boring D. unexpected
10. Paragraph 3 is mainly about _____.
A. how “hello” was used to answer the telephone
B. the friendship between Bell and Edison
C. the invention of the telephone
D. how the telephone improved
11. We can infer from the text that _____.
A. “hello” got popular as soon as the telephone was invented
B. the telephone has changed the way people speak
C. people liked simple expressions like “hello”
D. Bell advised girls to use “hello”
D
If there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls, what can explain girls’ poor performance in science and mathematics
It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause. Mathematics and science are seen as subjects mainly for boys, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them. Interestingly, both boys and girls often regard the subjects for boys as more difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine and attractive.
However, if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses, there are still more high-achieving boys than there are girls. This difference appears to be world-wide. Biological explanations have been offered for this, but there are other explanations too.
Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supplied answers.
Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls. They spend more time with the boy students, giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion. They also praise boys more frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and mathematics and to give them confidence that they are able to succeed.
Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and science courses, nor is it likely to support girls who do. When it comes to these subjects, it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.
12. Girls are likely to think that _________.
A. science courses are for both boys and girls B. science courses make them more popular
C. science courses make them successful D. science courses are difficult for them
13. What does the underlined word “feminine” in para.2 probably mean
A. Polite. B. Female C. Determined D. Competitive
14. What does the passage say about great mathematicians
A Their teachers did not supply answers to them.
B. They started learning mathematics at an earlier age.
C. They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.
D. Their success resulted from their strong interest in mathematics.
15. The author would probably agree that _________.
A. boys and girls learn in the same way
B. boys and girls are equal in general intelligence
C. girls are more confident in themselves than before
D. girls should take fewer science courses than boys

“Jane, hurry and get your coat. We’re going to the store,” Dad said. I ran to do as my father instructed. A shopping trip with Dad was a rare experience. He traveled a great deal of time, and I valued the unexpected chance to be alone with him. Once in the car, I asked, “Where are we going ” Dad only smiled, “You’ll see.” To my surprise, we didn’t take the usual turn to the area’s one department store.
Instead, we turned down an alley (小巷) where small houses lined the road. Dad parked the car, got out, and walked to the front door of the first house on the street. Within a few minutes, he returned with Connor, a boy from our school. I tried to hide my disappointment. I had wanted my father to accompany me. At that time, it looked as though I would have to share him with someone else. “Hi, Connor,” I said, only just able to keep the upset and unhappiness from my voice.
“Hi,” he replied. He looked as uncomfortable as I felt. Then, Dad drove to the store. Once inside, he led us to the boys’ clothing section. I was much unhappier. Not only did I have to share my dad, but I also had to look at boring clothes. “Connor will give a poem-reading performance in your school’s 40th anniversary celebration next Friday,” Dad said. “He’ll need a suit to wear for this big occasion. So we’re here.” Connor looked with wonder at the row of clothes.
注意：

“Hello” is a relatively new greeting. It first appeared sometime in the mid-1800s, but many people would not have dreamed of using it. “Hello” was considered a very impolite way to greet someone. Instead, people used formal expressions like “How do you do ”
Back then, there were several words that sounded like “hello,” but they were used to get someone’s attention or to express surprise. For example, if you caught your little brother stealing your snack, you might have said, “Halloa there! Stop eating my cheese!” If you found a fly in your soup, you might have shouted, “Hullo! How did that get in there ”
Everything started to change in 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. The first telephones didn’t have numbers you could dial, nor did they have bells or ringers. Instead, your telephone sent signals along telephone lines to a central office where an operator would answer by saying something like “Are you there, sir ” or “What is wanted ” The operator would then connect your phone to the phone of the person you wanted to reach. There was just one small problem: Since telephones didn’t ring, how would the person you were calling know that you were “on the line” The answer is you would yell (大喊) into your phone and hope someone on the other end heard you. But what would you yell And what would the person you were calling say when they were going to answer Bell suggested “Ahoy! Ahoy!” but it didn’t catch on. Then the famous inventor Thomas Edison suggested the word hello. That caught on right away.
“Hello” became so popular that by 1878 telephone operators were required to use it. In fact, operators received the nickname (绰号) “Hello Girls.” Soon, “hello” became not just the standard way to answer the phone, but an accepted way to greet people in person.
8. Why was “hello” seldom used when it first appeared
A. It was too informal.
B. It was hard to pronounce.
C. It was considered to be rude.
D. There were other words like “hello”.
9. “Hullo” was used to show something _____.
A. interesting B. exciting
C. boring D. unexpected
10. Paragraph 3 is mainly about _____.
A. how “hello” was used to answer the telephone
B. the friendship between Bell and Edison
C. the invention of the telephone
D. how the telephone improved
11. We can infer from the text that _____.
A. “hello” got popular as soon as the telephone was invented
B. the telephone has changed the way people speak
C. people liked simple expressions like “hello”
D. Bell advised girls to use “hello”
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了“Hello”一词的由来。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中It first appeared sometime in the mid-1800s, but many people would not have dreamed of using it. “Hello” was considered a very impolite way to greet someone.“它最早出现在19世纪中期的某个时候，但许多人做梦也没想到会使用它。“Hello”被认为是一种非常不礼貌的打招呼方式。”可知，“hello”第一次出现时很少被使用，是因为这被认为是粗鲁的。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中If you found a fly in your soup, you might have shouted, “Hullo! How did that get in there ”“ 如果你在汤里发现一只苍蝇，你可能会大叫:“喂!那是怎么进来的 ””可知，“Hullo”是用来表示意想不到的事情。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中And what would the person you were calling say when they were going to answer Bell suggested “Ahoy! Ahoy!” but it didn’t catch on. Then the famous inventor Thomas Edison suggested the word hello. That caught on right away.“当你打电话的人要接电话时，他们会说什么 贝尔说“喂!喂! !但它没有流行起来。然后，著名发明家托马斯·爱迪生提出了“你好”这个词。马上就流行起来了。”可知，第3段主要是关于如何用“hello”来接电话。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hello” became so popular that by 1878 telephone operators were required to use it. In fact, operators received the nickname (绰号) “Hello Girls.” Soon, “hello” became not just the standard way to answer the phone, but an accepted way to greet people in person.“到1878年，“你好”一词变得如此流行，以至于电话接线员必须使用它。事实上，接线员得到的昵称是“你好女孩”。很快，“hello”就不仅仅是接电话的标准方式，而是一种被广泛接受的当面打招呼的方式。”可知，电话改变了人们说话的方式。故选B。
【点睛】做推理判断题时，要求考生在阅读时，要抓住文章的主题和细节，分析文章结构，根据上下文内在联系，挖掘文章的深层含义。在进行推理时，考生一定要仔细阅读短文，千万不可脱离原文而仅凭个人的看法，主观臆断。本题第2小题，根据第二段中If you found a fly in your soup, you might have shouted, “Hullo! How did that get in there ”“ 如果你在汤里发现一只苍蝇，你可能会大叫:“喂!那是怎么进来的 ””可知，“Hullo”是用来表示意想不到的事情。故选D。

If there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls, what can explain girls’ poor performance in science and mathematics
It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause. Mathematics and science are seen as subjects mainly for boys, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them. Interestingly, both boys and girls often regard the subjects for boys as more difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine and attractive.
However, if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses, there are still more high-achieving boys than there are girls. This difference appears to be world-wide. Biological explanations have been offered for this, but there are other explanations too.
Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supplied answers.
Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls. They spend more time with the boy students, giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion. They also praise boys more frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and mathematics and to give them confidence that they are able to succeed.
Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and science courses, nor is it likely to support girls who do. When it comes to these subjects, it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.
12. Girls are likely to think that _________.
A. science courses are for both boys and girls B. science courses make them more popular
C. science courses make them successful D. science courses are difficult for them
13. What does the underlined word “feminine” in para.2 probably mean
A. Polite. B. Female C. Determined D. Competitive
14. What does the passage say about great mathematicians
A. Their teachers did not supply answers to them.
B. They started learning mathematics at an earlier age.
C. They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.
D. Their success resulted from their strong interest in mathematics.
15. The author would probably agree that _________.
A. boys and girls learn in the same way
B. boys and girls are equal in general intelligence
C. girls are more confident in themselves than before
D. girls should take fewer science courses than boys
【答案】12 D 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了女生在数学和科学方面表现不佳的原因。女生比男生更不愿上数学和科学课的原因是女生害怕和男生公开竞争显得自己不那么女性化和有吸引力。然而女生在数学和科学方面表现差的直接原因是在学校的差别待遇。在学校里数学和科学老师对男生的期望更高，鼓励更多。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Mathematics and science are seen as subjects mainly for boys, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them. Interestingly, both boys and girls often regard the subjects for boys as more difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine and attractive. (数学和科学被认为主要是男孩的课程，因此，当女孩进入青少年时期，她们不太可能去学这些课程。有趣的是，男孩和女孩都认为男孩的科目比较难。然而，有人建议，女孩不参加数学课程，不是因为它们难，而是因为社会原因。女孩不想和男孩公开竞争，因为她们害怕显得不够女性化和缺乏吸引力)”可知，女孩可能会认为科学课程对她们来说很难。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys”可知，女孩不想和男孩公开竞争，划线词后的and是并列连词，结合attractive可推知，“because they are afraid to appear less feminine and attractive”意为“因为她们害怕显得不够女性化和缺乏吸引力”，故划线词意思是“女性的”。A. Polite.礼貌的；B. Female女性的；C. Determined坚定的；D. Competitive竞争的。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Facts show that outstanding mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supplied answers.(事实表明，杰出的数学家和科学家没有老师提供过答案)”可知，杰出的数学家和科学家没有老师提供过答案。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“If there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls, what can explain girls’ poor performance in science and mathematics (如果男孩和女孩在一般智力上没有差异，那又如何解释女孩在科学和数学方面的糟糕表现呢？)”提出问题：如果男孩和女孩在一般智力上没有差异，那又有什么能解释女孩在科学和数学方面表现不佳的原因呢？接着作者谈论了造成女生在数学和科学方面表现不佳的社会原因，可推知，作者可能会同意B选项“男孩和女孩在一般智力上是平等的”的观点。故选B。

【答案】approaching
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：她立刻意识到这是海啸即将来临的迹象。分析句子可知，提示词作定语修饰名词tsunami，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语tsunami之间是主动关系，且“靠近，临近”这一动作正在发生，应用现在分词表示主动和正在进行。故填approaching。

【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词。句意：我通常叫人把快餐送到我的办公室。动词deliver意为“递送”，和谓语之间没有连词，和逻辑主语fast food构成被动关系，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词形式作宾语补足语。have sth done意为“使……被……”,强调让别人做。故填delivered。
42. Her theories were out of tune ________ the scientific thinking of the time. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】with
【解析】
【详解】考查介词和固定短语。句意：她的理论与当时的科学思想不协调。be out of tune with是固定短语，意为“与……不协调”，因此空格处是介词with，故填with。

“Jane, hurry and get your coat. We’re going to the store,” Dad said. I ran to do as my father instructed. A shopping trip with Dad was a rare experience. He traveled a great deal of time, and I valued the unexpected chance to be alone with him. Once in the car, I asked, “Where are we going ” Dad only smiled, “You’ll see.” To my surprise, we didn’t take the usual turn to the area’s one department store.
Instead, we turned down an alley (小巷) where small houses lined the road. Dad parked the car, got out, and walked to the front door of the first house on the street. Within a few minutes, he returned with Connor, a boy from our school. I tried to hide my disappointment. I had wanted my father to accompany me. At that time, it looked as though I would have to share him with someone else. “Hi, Connor,” I said, only just able to keep the upset and unhappiness from my voice.
“Hi,” he replied. He looked as uncomfortable as I felt. Then, Dad drove to the store. Once inside, he led us to the boys’ clothing section. I was much unhappier. Not only did I have to share my dad, but I also had to look at boring clothes. “Connor will give a poem-reading performance in your school’s 40th anniversary celebration next Friday,” Dad said. “He’ll need a suit to wear for this big occasion. So we’re here.” Connor looked with wonder at the row of clothes.

【答案】One possible version：
Dad must have noticed my unhappiness. So he drew me aside. “We have a chance to help someone in need,” he said quietly. After his continual encouragement, I realized I had done something wrong and was ashamed of my childish behavior. Connor came from a poor family where his parents worked hard to provide for their four children. I guessed that suit had no place in the budget. Eventually, I decided to support Dad’s care for Connor, helping Connor pick up clothing. I even decided to cheer him on when watching his poem reading performance. Knowing my change, Dad joyfully patted my head and I felt really good.
