My roommate Lily was well organised, while I was not. Each of her things had its place, but mine were always hidden somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签于) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Lily got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Lily came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. "Take your shoes away! Why under my bed! "Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Lily answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy (同情) rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so lost in my work that I even didn't notice Lily had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression a kind of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, "Thanks."
Lily and I stayed roommates for the rest of the college years. We didn't always agree, but we learned.
24．How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed
A．By analyzing causes. B．By following time order.
C．By showing differences. D．By describing a process.

For decades, the homework standard has been a "10-minute" rule, which suggests a daily maximum of 10 minutes of homework per grade level.
But some schools have begun to give their youngest students a break. An American elementary school has announced a no-homework pilot program(试点项目) for the coming school year, extending the school day by two hours to provide more in-class instruction. "We really want kids to go home at 4 o'clock, tired," Kelly Elementary School Principal Jackie Glasheen said. "We want them to enjoy their families. We want them to go to soccer practice or football practice."
New solutions to homework differ by community. These local debates aren't easily understood by the fact that even education experts disagree about what's best for kids.
The most all-round research on homework so far comes from an analysis(分析) by Duke University professor Harris Cooper, who found evidence(证据) of a positive relationship between homework and student achievement, meaning students who did homework performed better in school. Cooper's analysis focused on how homework influences test scores. The relationship was stronger for older students from the 7th to the 12th grade than for those in younger grades, for whom there was a weak relationship between homework and performance.
However, Cathy Vatterott, an education professor at the University Missouri-St. Louis, thinks there is not enough evidence that homework is helpful for students in elementary school, "Relationship is not a cause," she said "Does homework cause achievement, or do high achievers do more homework " Vatterott thinks there should be more stress on improving the quality of homework tasks, and she supports efforts to ban homework for younger kids.
28．What will Kelly Elementary School have in the new term
A．No homework.
B．Some football practice.
C．"10-minute" homework.
D．More physical education classes.
29．Who can perform better according to Cooper's analysis
A．Younger students in all grades with no homework.
B．Younger students in lower grades with no homework.
C．Older students in lower grades with more homework.
D．Older students in higher grades with more homework.
30．What's the writer's attitude towards "10-minute" homework
A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Unknown. D．Angry.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Is homework good for students
B．Which subject's homework matters the most
C．Shall younger students do the same homework as the older students
D．Do students really hate homework
【答案】28．A
29．D
30．C
31．A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，杜克大学教授哈里斯·库珀的研究表明，家庭作业与学生成绩是正相关的，尤其是对于年级较高的学生。但教育学教授卡西·瓦特洛特认为，针对小学生的家庭作业并没有足够的证据证明其有益处，应该更加注重提高家庭作业的质量。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和标题归纳三个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
28．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"But some schools have begun to give their youngest students a break. An American elementary school has announced a no-homework pilot program(试点项目)for the coming school year, extending the school day by two hours to provide more in-class instruction." 但是一些学校已经开始让他们最年轻的学生休息一下。美国一所小学宣布在即将到来的新学年推行无作业试点计划，将每天的上课时间延长两个小时，以提供更多的课堂教学；以及 "‘We really want kids to go home at 4 o'clock, tired,' Kelly Elementary School Principal Jackie Glasheen said. "凯利小学校长杰基·格拉森说:"我们真的希望孩子们四点就能累着回家。"可知，凯利小学新学年将推行无作业试点计划，将每天的上课时间延长两个小时，以提供更多的课堂教学。故选A。
29．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"The most all-round research on homework so far comes from an analysis(分析)by Duke University professor Harris Cooper, who found evidence(证据)of a positive relationship between homework and student achievement, meaning students who did homework performed better in school."迄今为止，对家庭作业最全面的研究来自杜克大学教授哈里斯·库珀的一项分析，他发现了家庭作业与学生成绩之间存在积极关系的证据，也就是说，做家庭作业的学生在学校表现得更好。)"可知，杜克大学教授哈里斯·库珀发现家庭作业与学生成绩之间存在积极关系的证据即做家庭作业的学生在学校表现得更好；以及"The relationship was stronger for older students from the 7th to the 12th grade than for those in younger grades, for whom there was a weak relationship between homework and performance." 从7年级到12年级，年龄较大的学生的这种关系比年龄较小的学生更强，而年龄较小的学生的家庭作业和成绩之间的关系较弱。可知，家庭作业与学生成绩之间存在积极关系在年龄较大的学生体现的更明显即高年级的高年级学生有更多的家庭作业其成绩更好。故选D。
30．考查推理判断。根据第一段"For decades, the homework standard has been a"10-minute"rule, which suggests a daily maximum of 10 minutes of homework per grade level."几十年来，家庭作业标准一直是"10分钟"规则，即每个年级每天最多10分钟的家庭作业；以及第二段中的"But some schools have begun to give their youngest students a break"但是有一些学校已经开始让小年龄的学生们打破这个规则了。阐述了一下"10分钟"原则，但是作者并没有对它表示任何的看法。可推知，作者对"10分钟"作业的态度是未知的。故选C。
31．考查标题归纳。通读全文，本文由"10分钟"原则引入学生们的家庭作业问题，接下来告诉读者有一些小学要实施没有家庭作业的试点项目，然后阐述了不同专家意见：杜克大学教授哈里斯·库珀的研究表明，家庭作业与学生成绩是正相关的，尤其是对于年级较高的学生。但教育学教授卡西·瓦特洛特认为，针对小学生的家庭作业并没有足够的证据证明其有益处，应该更加注重提高家庭作业的质量。所以，总结来说，这篇文章就是围绕家庭作业对学生们好不好来讨论的。"家庭作业对学生好吗？"适合做文章标题，故选A。
阅读短文，回答问题
Biological fieldwork can mean trips to exotic places. The most common method is to send a few eager graduate students armed with camera traps and several weeks of spare time. But perhaps not for much longer. A paper published in Current Biology suggests an easier method: simply swabbing (擦拭) nearby leaves for DNA.
The DNA in question is called "environmental DNA" (eDNA for short). It refers to all the genetic information that animals leave behind as they go about their daily business: breathing, urinating, or interacting with their environment in any way. In recent years, genesequencing (基因测序) technology has become quick and sensitive enough to pick out genetic sequences from particular animals including humans from this eDNA.
One way of doing so is simply to blow air through filters (过滤器), and then analyse them to see which animals live nearby. Drs Gogarten and Lynggaard wondered if there might be a simpler approach. Air-sampling systems can take days to do their work. Maintenance must be done, and filters must be changed. But given that eDNA is literally blowing around ecosystems, the searchers wondered if it might be collecting on leaves.
The leaves of many plants are waxy (蜡质的) and somewhat sticky. The researchers theorised that eDNA might end up stuck to leaves and that it could subsequently be collected by swabbing them. They tested their theory in the dense rain forests of Kibale National Park, in Uganda. Using simple cotton swabs, and wearing masks and gloves to prevent polluting the samples with their own DNA, they visited three areas of the park and collected eight swabs at each site, and then took them back to Copenhagen for analysis.
The swabs revealed the presence of 26 birds, 24 mammals, one amphibian and one fish, with each swab containing DNA from eight animals on average. More than half the samples were good enough to work out the precise species they came from.
Swabbing for animals, then, seems to work. Moreover, it is cheap, easy and fast. Graduate students will have to be content spending less time sample-hunting in distant parts of the world.
32．Who will benefit most from the research findings
A．Forest farmers. B．Biological graduates.
C．Ambitious scientists. D．Environmental activists.
33．Why was the researchers armed with masks and gloves
A．To protect the leaves.
B．To avoid getting stuck.
C．To stay safe from wax.
D．To ensure the quality of samples.
34．How is eDNA method compared with the common ways
A．More animal-friendly. B．Free of complex analysis.
C．More accurate and effective. D．Economical in time and money.
35．What serves as the best title for the text
A．Swabbing leaves: an easier method to track animals
B．Testing eDNA: a useful tool for animal detection
C．What the function of leaves is
D．How the field work goes
【答案】32．B
33．D
34．D
35．A

33．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"wearing masks and gloves to prevent polluting the samples with their own DNA"戴上口罩和手套，防止自己的DNA污染样本。可知，戴着面罩和手套是为了防止提取的DNA被研究人员自己的DNA污染，是为了保证样品的质量。故选D。
34．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"Moreover, it is cheap, easy and fast."此外，它便宜、容易、快捷。可知，与传统方法相比，叶子擦拭法更加高效和节约。故选D。
35．考查标题归纳。纵观全文可知，本文介绍了鉴于动物会通过呼吸、尿液或和周围环境的互相反应，而把基因信息附着在叶子上，研究者们提出了通过擦拭叶子提取环境DNA 的方法，然后分析之后再进行动物研究。这种方法为研究生进行生物野外研究提供了便利；结合第一段中的"A paper published in Current Biology suggests an easier method: simply swabbing (擦拭) nearby leaves for DNA."发表在《当代生物学》上的一篇论文提出了一种更简单的方法:简单地擦拭叶子附近的DNA。"叶子擦拭：一种更容易追踪动物的方法"适合作为本文的标题。故选A。
三、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Studying longer does not necessarily mean studying better. 36． Below are some great ways of learning as much as you can without getting too stressed.
Find the right place to study.
The first thing you need to do is avoid distractions (分散注意力的事物) while studying. 37． You should keep away from television sets and phone calls. Get all of your study materials together, so you will not be interrupted in the middle of your session.
Break down the tasks into smaller parts.
When you have gotten everything ready, list the items you need to study, and arrange them across several hours or days, depending on how big your load is. As a general rule, assign (分配) at least one hour to each subject. 38． By doing this, you will be able to know more easily how long you need for each topic.
Schedule study breaks.
When you have listed all of your tasks and made a schedule, you should arrange study breaks. 39． This will give your eyes some time to rest, and yourself a chance to go to the bathroom or have some coffee. Scheduled breaks will reduce the need for you to interrupt yourself to the lowest level during the study session.
Put your tasks in order of importance.
40． Just in case you run out of time to study, or if you think you do not have enough time to cover all topics, you should study in an order.
A. Each break may take about 15 minutes every two hours.
B. Learn to arrange the subjects in order of importance.
C. This means going to one place that will give you peace and quiet.
D. The key to efficient studying is following the schedule strictly.
E. You can find a way to test your knowledge by having a study partner.
F. If you have a broad subject, you will need to break it down into smaller parts.
G. To make the best use of your time, you need to learn how to study efficiently (高效地).

The whole class burst out laughing as Bruce rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red pajama top(睡衣上衣) underneath and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green shoes that were two sizes too big.
Bruce said quietly, "Sorry teacher"and walked to his seat. Mr. Tan looked at the rest of the students. The laughter quickly turned to silence. Bruce's classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out often, they would be entertained by Bruce's late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing.
Bruce lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would shout his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Bruce was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Tom, who sat next to Bruce, tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Bruce did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Tom decided to walkover to Bruce's house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Bruce must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Tom let himself in. He called Bruce's name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Tom looked in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Bruce was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow (琴弓) over the strings expertly. He played beautifully, so much so that it sounded like a recording. Tom left quietly.
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。
When Teachers' Day came around, Tom had a plan.
When Bruce started to play, the audience fell silent.
【答案】One possible version:
When Teachers' Day came around, Tom had a plan. It was the tradition of the school to have a concert for the teachers. Every class had to contribute an item. Tom convinced the class to let Bruce perform. Short of ideas, the class agreed. On the day of the concert, all the teachers and students were surprised to see the school's most awkward student walking on stage with a violin. Some of the students started to talk about all the funny things Bruce did.
When Bruce started to play, the audience fell silent. Their jaws dropped open. As the last note ended, there was a moment of silence. Then the audience responded with thunderous applause. Bruce became a popular icon and had many fans in his final year of school. Today, Bruce and Tom are still best friends. Bruce is on a scholarship pursuing music in Austria. Some days he still comes to class wearing an inside-out shirt or a pair of mismatched shoes.
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，讲述了长期因怪异服装被同学嘲笑的Bruce在同学Tom的帮助下在教师节音乐会上大放异彩的故事。段落续写：①由续写段落第一段首句内容"教师节来了，汤姆有了一个计划。"可知，第一段可描写汤姆的计划的具体细节和实施。②由续写段落第二段首句内容"当布鲁斯开始演奏的时候，观众们斗沉默了"可知，第二段可描写布鲁斯的表演、观众的反映以及布鲁斯学校生活的变化。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用一定数量的句式结构，让句子更加生动丰满，同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语，提高文章的档次，体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如： Short of ideas, the class agreed. 运用了形容词短语作状语；As the last note ended, there was a moment of silence.运用了时间状语从句，There be句Some days he still comes to class wearing an inside-out shirt or a pair of mismatched shoes.运用了现在分词作状语。

Most Beautiful National Parks in Poland
Poland's national parks are a hidden treasure for nature lovers. Take a walk on the wild side with us and experience four of the best open air spaces.
Bieszczady National Park
This park is in the remote south-eastern corner of the country bordering with Ukraine and Slovakia. It's a great choice for people looking for a quiet and lonely trip. Facilities are also quite limited. Don't miss the Solina Dam and other artificial lakes.
Karkonosze National Park
Over in the south-west of Poland by the frontier with the Czech Republic, this park is particularly interesting for its strangely shaped rocks and flat bare mountain tops. Near the border of the park is the highest waterfall in the Sudety region of Poland, the Kamienczyk Waterfall, which is 27 meters high.
Wolin National Park
Covering a large part of the Wolin Island on the western side of the Polish coast, this park's best parts include an amazing 15 km long stretch of steep sea cliffs (悬崖), lakes and rivers surrounded by pine trees, many bird species and a small bison (野牛) reserve.
Pieniny National Park
This park is on the border of Poland and Pieniny—one of the Pieniny's most beautiful mountain ranges. By far the most popular activity is taking a raft (筏) down the winding Dunajec River, but there is a lot more to discover.
21．Which park best suits people who want to explore the Solina Dam
A．Bieszczady National Park. B．Karkonosze National Park.

My roommate Lily was well organised, while I was not. Each of her things had its place, but mine were always hidden somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签于) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Lily got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Lily came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. "Take your shoes away! Why under my bed! "Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Lily answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy (同情) rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so lost in my work that I even didn't notice Lily had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression a kind of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, "Thanks."
Lily and I stayed roommates for the rest of the college years. We didn't always agree, but we learned.
24．How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed
A．By analyzing causes. B．By following time order.
C．By showing differences. D．By describing a process.
25．What made Lily so angry one evening
A．She heard the author shouting loud.
B．She saw the author's shoes under her bed.
C．She got the news that her grandma was ill.
D．She couldn't find her books anymore.
26．Why did the author clean up the room
A．Because she wanted to show her care for Lily.
B．Because she hated herself for being so messy.
C．Because Lily required her to do so.
D．Because she was scared by Lily's anger.
27．What might be the best title for the passage
A．Hard Work Pays Off B．Learning to Be Roommates
C．My Friend Lily D．How to Be Organised

For decades, the homework standard has been a "10-minute" rule, which suggests a daily maximum of 10 minutes of homework per grade level.
But some schools have begun to give their youngest students a break. An American elementary school has announced a no-homework pilot program(试点项目) for the coming school year, extending the school day by two hours to provide more in-class instruction. "We really want kids to go home at 4 o'clock, tired," Kelly Elementary School Principal Jackie Glasheen said. "We want them to enjoy their families. We want them to go to soccer practice or football practice."
New solutions to homework differ by community. These local debates aren't easily understood by the fact that even education experts disagree about what's best for kids.
The most all-round research on homework so far comes from an analysis(分析) by Duke University professor Harris Cooper, who found evidence(证据) of a positive relationship between homework and student achievement, meaning students who did homework performed better in school. Cooper's analysis focused on how homework influences test scores. The relationship was stronger for older students from the 7th to the 12th grade than for those in younger grades, for whom there was a weak relationship between homework and performance.
However, Cathy Vatterott, an education professor at the University Missouri-St. Louis, thinks there is not enough evidence that homework is helpful for students in elementary school, "Relationship is not a cause," she said "Does homework cause achievement, or do high achievers do more homework " Vatterott thinks there should be more stress on improving the quality of homework tasks, and she supports efforts to ban homework for younger kids.
28．What will Kelly Elementary School have in the new term
A．No homework.
B．Some football practice.
C．"10-minute" homework.
D．More physical education classes.
29．Who can perform better according to Cooper's analysis
A．Younger students in all grades with no homework.
B．Younger students in lower grades with no homework.
C．Older students in lower grades with more homework.
D．Older students in higher grades with more homework.
30．What's the writer's attitude towards "10-minute" homework
A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Unknown. D．Angry.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Is homework good for students
B．Which subject's homework matters the most
C．Shall younger students do the same homework as the older students
D．Do students really hate homework

Biological fieldwork can mean trips to exotic places. The most common method is to send a few eager graduate students armed with camera traps and several weeks of spare time. But perhaps not for much longer. A paper published in Current Biology suggests an easier method: simply swabbing (擦拭) nearby leaves for DNA.
The DNA in question is called "environmental DNA" (eDNA for short). It refers to all the genetic information that animals leave behind as they go about their daily business: breathing, urinating, or interacting with their environment in any way. In recent years, genesequencing (基因测序) technology has become quick and sensitive enough to pick out genetic sequences from particular animals including humans from this eDNA.
One way of doing so is simply to blow air through filters (过滤器), and then analyse them to see which animals live nearby. Drs Gogarten and Lynggaard wondered if there might be a simpler approach. Air-sampling systems can take days to do their work. Maintenance must be done, and filters must be changed. But given that eDNA is literally blowing around ecosystems, the searchers wondered if it might be collecting on leaves.
The leaves of many plants are waxy (蜡质的) and somewhat sticky. The researchers theorised that eDNA might end up stuck to leaves and that it could subsequently be collected by swabbing them. They tested their theory in the dense rain forests of Kibale National Park, in Uganda. Using simple cotton swabs, and wearing masks and gloves to prevent polluting the samples with their own DNA, they visited three areas of the park and collected eight swabs at each site, and then took them back to Copenhagen for analysis.
The swabs revealed the presence of 26 birds, 24 mammals, one amphibian and one fish, with each swab containing DNA from eight animals on average. More than half the samples were good enough to work out the precise species they came from.
Swabbing for animals, then, seems to work. Moreover, it is cheap, easy and fast. Graduate students will have to be content spending less time sample-hunting in distant parts of the world.

67．第二节读后续写，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。
The whole class burst out laughing as Bruce rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red pajama top(睡衣上衣) underneath and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green shoes that were two sizes too big.
Bruce said quietly, "Sorry teacher"and walked to his seat. Mr. Tan looked at the rest of the students. The laughter quickly turned to silence. Bruce's classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out often, they would be entertained by Bruce's late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing.
Bruce lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would shout his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Bruce was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Tom, who sat next to Bruce, tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Bruce did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Tom decided to walkover to Bruce's house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Bruce must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Tom let himself in. He called Bruce's name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Tom looked in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Bruce was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow (琴弓) over the strings expertly. He played beautifully, so much so that it sounded like a recording. Tom left quietly.
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。
When Teachers' Day came around, Tom had a plan.
When Bruce started to play, the audience fell silent.
