第二部分　阅读理解(共两节, 满分40分)
第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
　　阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。
A
Man in the Future
What will man be like ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in the future—in 5, 000 or even 50, 000 years from now We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may believe that man will continue to grow taller.
Again, in the moder ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity(容量; 能力). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change too. The head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re in constant(持续的)use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive(敏感的)because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair It ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald(秃头的; 秃顶的).
Perhaps all this g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes; future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
【语篇概述】本文从身高、眼睛、大脑等几个方面对人类未来的外表做出一些预测。
21. Why is it certain that future man will be different
A. Because all our predictions will come true.
B. Because man never stops changing.
C. Because man hopes for a change.
D. Because man will live a different life.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第一段的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“. . . we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. ”可知。
22. Man’s forehead will grow larger because _______ .
A. he will make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity
B. the other 80% of his brain will grow in proper time
C. he had a rather narrow forehead a few hundred years ago
D. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知, 由于人类用脑越来越多, 所以将来的头, 尤其是前额, 会比现在大。故选D。
23. The passage tells us about _______ .
A. what man’s life will be like in the future
B. what future man will look like
C. the fact that man’s organs will function differently in the future
D. the fact that man is growing uglier as time goes on
【解析】选B。主旨大意题。本文主要预测了人类未来的外表。故选B。
B
Many people love kee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ping the pets(dogs, cats, horses, etc. )and have them as their good friends. In Canada, people usually take their pets to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射)so that they won’t carry diseases before they keep them in their houses. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food.
When you visit pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ople’s houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their gardens. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.
People in Canada h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.
【语篇概述】本文讲述的是加拿大人喜欢养宠物, 而且法律也保护动物不被杀戮, 他们养宠物的原因之一——宠物可以解决老年时儿女不在身旁的孤独。
24. The passage mainly talks about　　　.
A. how to keep disease from pets
B. pets in Canada

【解析】选B。主旨大意题。第一段讲述了 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )领养宠物前的准备和宠物食物的普遍性; 第二段讲述了人们对宠物的态度; 第三段讲述了养宠物的一个原因。整篇文章都是围绕pets in Canada来展开的。

C
　　While restin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g and entertaining yourself at home is cool, vacation is the perfect time to go out and travel.
You may have alr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eady booked tickets or joined a guided tour that promises to take you to sandy beaches and top traveling spots, but there is no need to despair if you can’t afford a long flight to a fancy destination. Traveling isn’t about spending money; it’s about having eye-opening experiences and collecting memories.
Now, many students ta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lk about traveling on a tight budget. Hitchhiking(免费搭便车)is the best way to experience it.
If you want to go h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )itchhiking, never make any plans. The more you plan things, the less fun you’re going to have. When you are putting yourself in the hands of strangers like that, you’ve got to be open to new experiences.
Hitchhiking is no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t only the most inexpensive means of transportation but also the most social one. You meet nice people and make friends.
Despite some ris ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ks, it is hoped to have more people join in hitchhiking. It would restore their trust in society, something that is decreasing, especially in cities.
When it comes to ac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cepting lifts from strangers, risks cannot be avoided. Justin Brake is an experienced hitchhiker in the US. On his traveling blog he advises that you should always trust your gut(直觉)and use judgment.
Don’t get into a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )vehicle if you don’t feel right about it. Rely on your gut and make sure you talk to the driver through the window so that your gut has something to go on. Be sure to agree on the destination before you get in the car, and know where you are going to get out.
【语篇概述】如果你制订好了假期旅行计 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )划, 而又为昂贵的费用感到困难重重, 不妨尝试一下“假期穷游搭便车”, 既能降低旅游成本, 又能结交朋友; 当然还要注意: 安全第一!
28. According to the passage, the purpose of traveling is　　　.
A. to have a rest at home
B. to spend money for entertainment
C. to open eyes and increase memories
D. to make new friends
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段最 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )后一句“Traveling isn’t about spending money; it’s about having eye-opening experiences and collecting memories. ”可知答案为C。
29. If your budget is tight, you can travel　　　.
A. by going with a friend
B. by hitchhiking
C. by joining a guided tour
D. by ground transportation
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第三段可知, 预算紧张可以通过免费搭便车的形式去旅行。故选B。
30. The author suggests you make less plans because　　　.
A. a stranger can make you experience new things
B. you have little traveling experience and knowledge
C. you should listen to the driver when you are in his/her car
D. you have other things to do during the traveling
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第四段可知, 搭一个陌生人的便车可以帮助你获得新的体验, 所以你没有必要自己计划太多。
31. The author wrote the last two paragraphs to　　　.
A. tell people the risks of hitchhiking
B. advise people not to go hitchhiking
C. encourage more people to go hitchhiking
D. warn people of things they should pay attention to
【解析】选D。推理判断题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。最后两段内容, 主要讲述了在搭便车的时候如何注意避免危险、如何才能不至于搭错便车, 意在提醒人们搭便车的时候该注意哪些问题。故选D。

　　Can you imagine ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a classroom missing one thing that has long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing No notebooks, no textbooks, no test papers. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.
A“paperless ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )classroom”is what more and more schools are trying to realize. Students don’t do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use hand-sized, or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer.
“Having computers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying, from maths to social science. ”
High school teac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her Judy Herrel in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web. “Using a book that’s three or four years old is impossible, ”she said.
A paperless class ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )room is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper.
“Think about ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the money and trees we could save with the computers, ”she said.
But, with all t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )his technology, there’s always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problem, paper textbooks are still widely available(可得到的)for these hi-tech students.
【语篇概述】高中学生的教室里几乎没有笔记本或教科书, 没有纸质的试卷, 没有铅笔或钢笔, 这样的教室你见过吗 阅读本文了解一下吧!
32. The underlined wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d“critical”in the first paragraph probably has the same meaning as“ _______ ”.
A. worrying　　　　　　 B. dangerous
C. happy　　　 D. important
【解析】选D。词义猜测题。联系整句话 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ): (在教室里)没有铅笔或钢笔, 钢笔似乎总是在重要的时刻把墨水用完了。worrying令人担心的; dangerous危险的; happy高兴的。important重要的, 符合句意, 故选D。
33. In a paperless classroom, what is a must
A. A pen. B. A computer.
C. Information. D. A pencil.
【解析】选B。细节理解题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。从第二段第三句话“Instead, they use hand-sized, or specially-designed computers. ”可知答案。
34. According to Judy Herrel, 　　.
A. the Web can take the students everywhere
B. the Web can take the place of teachers
C. the Web is a better tool for information
D. the Web is for downloading information
【解析】选C。细节理解题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。从第三段“Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying, from maths to social science. ”可知C项正确。
35. Which of the following is not supported by the writer’s opinion
A. The paperless classroom will be good for trees.
B. There are some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )differences between the paperless studies and those in the usual way.
C. Paper textbooks are no longer useful.
D. Paper-free studies are popular with more and more schools.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。从末段末句“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )So, in case of a power failure or technical problem, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students. ”可推知C项错误, 也就是作者不支持的观点。

　　There are seven million people in my city. Everyone lives within 15 kilometers off the center. WowAll cities of this size suffer from the modern problem of air pollution, which is the biggest problem at present. You must disagree that overcrowding affects every part of our lives in the city. Here’s an example. We often face difficulties with both public and private transport. Buses can be slow and uncomfortablebecause all the people are using them. And using cars is almost impossible in some cities. You’ve guessed the result—traffic jam! Parking in the rush hour Forget it! Another area of our lives that is affected is the actual space we’re living in. Space That’s a joke! In cities people often have to share narrow stairs with strangers and move around small roomsAnd 99% of homes have no gardens. This can cause problems with neighbors and stress within families.
There are two main things that could be done. My first suggestion is that there should be more planning. Let’suse all the existing free space in the cities. My second advice sounds a little difficult—the government should encourage areas outside big cities to become less dependent on city centers.

第二部分　阅读理解(共两节, 满分40分)
第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
　　阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。
A
　　Denver’s bus sy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stem(RTD)works best if you are based in the downtown area. For any information, see the phone number and website below. To pick up schedules or talk to an RTD employee in person you can go to the Civic Centre station or the Market Street station. The Civic Centre station is located at the south end of the 16th Street Mall(take the free bus to the south end of the line). The Market Street station is located at the 16th Street Market(take the free bus to the north end of the line). You’ll be able to find all schedules for buses in the RTD system. You’ll also be able to buy any pass, etc. . All monthly passes and 10 ticket coupon(优惠券)books(pay for 10 bus rides at a time)can be bought at any King Sooners store in the Denver subway area. All buses have bike holders on the front of the bus. These can be used at no extra charge, but it is your responsibility to load and unload your bike. The driver is not allowed to assist you. You can bring a bicycle on the light rail trains during off peak hours(非高峰时间)—it doesn’t cost extra. They just ask that you board at the back of the train. All buses are wheelchair accessible.
The trains go from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )30th & Downing streets to Santa Fe & Mineral every 15 minutes or so—depending on the time of day. Fares $1. 25 for all stops between downtown and Hampden Ave and $2. 50 for any trip further south than that. Bicycles are allowed on the trains, but only in the back cars and only during non-peak hours.
Theme: Bus
Phone: 303-299-6000
Website: www. rtd.
【语篇概述】本文为旅行指南。主要介绍了Denver交通系统的整体情况。
21. If you want to fin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d out the fares of buses, which of the following is NOT a good way
A. Dial the number 303-299-6000.
B. Land on www. rtd. .
C. Go to the bus station directly.
D. Pay for 10 rides at a time.
【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。由文章第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一段第二句话“For any information, see the phone number and website below. ”可知A、B两项正确; 文章紧接着提到如果你要拿时间表或与RTD员工交谈, 你可以去车站, 到车站去问一下当然是好的主意; 而一次性地购买10次乘车的票是为了得到优惠券, 故D项不对。
22. According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the passage, the underlined word“pass”in Paragraph 1 may refer to _______ .
A. the ticket for entering or leaving the bus station
B. the book for 10 ticket coupon or for free charge
C. a long time ticket for admitting a passenger to a bus
D. the book containing all the service information
【解析】选C。词义猜测题。由 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第一段“All monthly passes. . . ”可知实际上指的是月票, 故pass在文中应当是指车票, 故选C项。
23. The biggest advant ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )age of the RTD bus service may lie in the fact that _______ .
A. the driver may actively help you set your bike on the train
B. passengers can ask for the driver to get their bikes off the bus
C. the driver can make room for the bikes any time
D. the passenger can carry his bike to the train during some time
【解析】选D。细节理解题。由第一段中的“Y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou can bring a bicycle on the light rail trains during off peak hours. . . ”可知, 在非高峰时间, 乘客可以将自行车带到轻轨火车上去, 故选D项。根据上文, 司机是不允许帮助乘客搬动或卸下自行车的, 故A、B两项不对; 在高峰时间车上不得装载自行车, 故C项不对。
24. From the passage, we can infer that _______ .
A. many people turn to riding bikes during rush hours
B. many people prefer sitting on wheelchairs on buses
C. it takes 15 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )minutes to go to Santa Fe & Mineral from 30th & Downing streets
D. the fare for the tr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ip from Downing streets to Hampden Ave is $1. 25
【解析】选A。推理判断题。由文章的内容可知, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 在高峰时间一般是不允许将自行车带到汽车或火车上的, 那么更多的人就会改骑自行车, 故选A项。轮椅并不是任何人都可以坐的, 故B项错误; 由第二段的内容可知, 从30th & Downing streets到Santa Fe & Mineral的火车大约每15分钟一班, 并不是坐车15分钟就到了, 故C项错误; D项不能从原文中得到答案。
B
　　On Tuesday, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) official Chinese media said that 9, 500 kilometers of railway lines will cross the region of 100 million people—awkwardly called Jing-Jin-Ji—by 2020. Under the plan, residents of the two-city, one-province urban jungle will be able to travel between major centers by rail in just 60 minutes.
That should be good ne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ws to Beijing’s commuters(通勤者), many of whom use private cars to get to work giving rise to some of the worst traffic congestion in the world.
Every workday in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )2013, traffic jams in the city lasted one hour and 50 minutes on average, up 25 minutes from the year-earlier period.
During vacation per ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iods, traffic jams can sometimes be even worse as many people take to the roads to escape the capital. In the recent May Day holiday, a traffic jam of 55 kilometers in length formed on one of the highways leaving Beijing, according to the website of state-controlled China Radio International.
For now there appears ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to be no sign of a let-up in Chinese desire to own a car. Last year almost 18 million passenger cars were sold in the country, making it the world’s largest market. Consultancy IHS Automotive forecasts that figure to grow by just over 10% this year.
Experts say poor ur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ban planning is also at fault and say cities like Beijing put too much stress on building infrastructure(基础设施)and not enough on integrating(整合)different transport modes such as rail and road or building up public transportation systems.
Still, Beijing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )city planners’ increased attention to suburban rail offers some hope that life in what combined would be the world’s largest city might be about to get a little easier.
【语篇概述】本文介绍了到20 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )20年, 拥有1亿人口的京津冀将形成9 500千米的铁路网。根据这一计划, 这两市一省的居民坐火车只需60分钟就能完成京津冀主要中心之间的穿行。
25. How do most of Beijing’s commuters go to work now
A. By train. 　　　　　 B. By bus.
C. By plane. D. By car.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第二段的“T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat should be good news to Beijing’s commuters, many of whom use private cars to get to work. . . ”可知, 北京通勤者中的许多人开私家车上班。故选D。
26. Which of the following is right according to Paragraph 3
A. Every workday, tr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )affic jams in Beijing in 2013 lasted longer than in 2012.
B. Traffic jams on weekends are not so serious as on workdays.
C. Traffic jams in Beijing in 2013 were improved.
D. Traffic jams in Beijing in 2012 only lasted 25 minutes.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第三段可知, 北京在2013年平均每个工作日会有持续1小时50分钟的交通拥堵, 拥堵时间较上年延长了25分钟。故选A。
27. Why are traffic jams worse during vacation periods
A. Because more people go to Beijing.
B. Because more people leave Beijing.
C. Because more roads are blocked.
D. Because more roads are being repaired.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第四段的“D ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uring vacation periods, traffic jams can sometimes be even worse as many people take to the roads to escape the capital. ”可知, 在节假日, 交通拥堵情况有时会更加严重, 因为会有很多人离开北京。
28. The underlined word“let-up”in Paragraph 5 means _______ .
A. increase B. fall
C. sale D. improvement
【解析】选B。词义猜测题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )根据第五段的内容可知, 此处指中国民众买车的愿望似乎还没有减弱的迹象。let-up和fall都表示“降低, 减少”。
C
　　Harvard researc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable(可生物降解的)material inspired by insects’ hard outer shells. The material’s inventors said it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp(虾)shells and proteins produced from silk, is called“shrilk”. It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.
A major benefit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic’s toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and 1960s. Decades later, however, plastic’s very durability(耐用性)is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1, 000 years
Shrilk not only w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ill degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer(肥料), and so will enrich the soil.
Shrilk has great poten ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tial, the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible.
Work on shril ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they’re exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They’re also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. They’re even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.

D
　　Last night I w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.
At one point along a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wonderi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ight, the question of why I’d stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. It’s not only the law, but it’s an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don’t go through red lights.
Trust is our first inc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lination(倾向). Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust. We do what we say we’ll do; we show up when we say we’ll show up; and we pay when we say we’ll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we’re angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
【语篇概述】作者通过在深夜无人的晚上等红灯这件事, 说明了等红灯是一种人与人之间的信任和约定, 一个社会的建设依靠的也是人与人之间的信任。
33. Why did the author get impatient while driving
A. He was lonely on the road.
B. He was slowed down by a truck.
C. He got tired of driving too long.
D. He came across too many traffic lights.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段的“Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient. ”可知, 我失去耐心, 是因为一辆开得很慢的卡车使我受阻。故选B。
34. What was the a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uthor’s immediate action when the traffic light turned red
A. Stopping still.
B. Driving through it.
C. Looking around for other cars.
D. Checking out for traffic police.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据第二段的“as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. ”可知, 当遇到红灯时, 作者的第一反应是停下来。
35. The event made the author strongly believe that　　　.
A. traffic rules may be unnecessary
B. doubting others is human nature
C. patience is important to drivers
D. a society needs mutual trust
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第四、五段可知, 通过这件事情, 作者认为人与人之间要相互信任。故选D。
第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)
　　根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。
　　For some p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eople, choosing which sports to play throughout high school is hard because they have never really played an organized sport before and aren’t sure what they’ll enjoy most. 　36
　37　If you’re great ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at soccer but would rather play football because you think it’s more fun, then give it a go(just make sure it’s cool with mom and dad)!
Sports are meant t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o be fun. 　38　What’s the worst that can happen If you get cut, you can always try another sport. And sports like track don’t typically cut participants from the team. You can still participate even if you’re not in the team for the competition.
Some sports, l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ike lacrosse or field hockey, require every person on the field to be working well together. 　39 　
Sports like tennis, tr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ack and field, swimming, gymnastics, and wrestling are all sports where individual performances are tallied(计分)into team scores. 40　However, for the most part it’s possible to win a solo event in these sports and still have your team lose or vice-versa(反之亦然).
No one knows you bett ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er than you do. Maybe you enjoy the spotlight. Maybe you get annoyed by the way teammates act. Luckily, there are many individualized sports to choose from.
A. No matter wha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t your problem is, you have to make the decision that is best for you.
B. Sure, cert ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ain people perform much better than others but superstars don’t necessarily make a good team!
C. Many people are attracted to team sports.
D. Of course there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are exceptions, like relays in track and swimming.
E. For others it’s t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ough because their friends don’t like to play the same sports.
F. Besides swi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mming, try canoeing, fishing, sailing, skiing, and, if you’re feeling particularly daring, surfing.
G. If there is a sport ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you really enjoy but you aren’t sure if you can make the team, try out anyway.

We arrived in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Spain for the first time a few weeks ago. I decided to　41　a car because we had sold the one we had in England before　42　home. Yesterday the sales office rang us to say the car was　43　. I had tried out a model like it before, but as I was not yet　44　driving in this car, my wife did not want me to collect it　45　so we went together to　46　it.
We paid for the ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r and　47　the papers. They told us that there was　48　petrol(汽油)to take us to a garage, where we could fill up. The　49　garage to the office was about 100 yards away and we got there　50　. But when I turned into main road I suddenly saw a lot of cars racing　51　me. I got out of　52　as fast as I could by backing into the garage　53　and the man behind　54　me.
“It’s such a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) problem to　55　to drive on the right side, isn’t it ”my wife said. “Yes, if only I had had a few lessons for　56　. ”I replied. “You had better go　57　on the way home, ”my wife said. “You’d be sorry if you had　58　on the first day, wouldn’t you ”While we were talking, the man behind got out of his car and said in good English, “Would you mind telling me　59　you are thinking of leaving 　60　are you going to sit in your car all day ”

How to Solve the Problem of Heavy Traffic
With the develo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pment of economy, more and more vehicles are going on the streets. As a result, most cities, especially the big ones, suffer from the traffic congestion. Heavy traffic has become one of the major concerns of the society.
To solve the pro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )blem, people have put forward many solutions, of which the following two are typical. One is to build more roads. It’ll make the streets less crowded and quicken the flow of traffic. The other is to open up more bus routes. In this case, more people will take buses rather than ride bikes or drive cars. Then the number of cars and bikes racing on the streets will decline.
However, eit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her of the two solutions will bring about problems at the same time. The former may occupy too much land, which can be otherwise more effectively used. For the latter, it’ll cause inconvenience to those living far away from the bus stops.
In my opinion, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) best solution is to combine the two: building more roads where land is less profitable and opening up more bus routes downtown at once.模块质量评估(四)

Text 10
　　When young people get their first real jobs, they may face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable in both professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university classes can’t be the only preparation for all of thedifferent situations that arise in the working world.
Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world isto identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. In doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more importantly, you will be able to seewhat his approach to everyday situations is.
While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably beginto identify and adopt good working habits.
答案: 6～10.BBABB 11～15.CACCB 16～20.CCACB
第二部分　阅读理解(共两节, 满分40分)
第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
　　阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。
A
Do you s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all times, really did fools’ experiments Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish
Sometimes, people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )think they already know the answer to a question or the solution to a problem. Sometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important.
Charles Darwin didn’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )settle for(满足于)just thinking he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.
Suppose you dr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )op sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets. What happens You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything.
But this simple ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )experiment is important. It explains part of our present day understandings of physics, ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics.
Scientists sometime s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )top to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them. Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations of science.
【语篇概述】有些问题的答案人们已经 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )知晓, 但人们没有想过这个问题是多么重要。伟大的科学家Charles Darwin常通过做实验来弄懂事情的来龙去脉。
21. The passage tells us that Charles Darwin　　　.
A. was a great English scientist
B. always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult
C. thought even the simplest thing was important
D. didn’t get well with others
【解析】选C。推理判断题。短文 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )并没有说Charles Darwin是哪个国家的科学家, 可排除A; 由文章可知别人认为Darwin的许多实验不值得做, 可把B排除; 文中没有论述Darwin与别人相处的事情, 可排除D。由第三段第二句中“he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be”可推出答案C。
22. The underlined phrase“set aside”most probably means“　　　”.
A. throw away　　　　　
B. store up
C. put to use
D. realize
【解析】选A。词义猜测题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )由上文可知作者认为做这个简单实验是重要的, 它解释了目前人们对于物理方面的理解。因此这些理解当然是推翻了一些希腊古典物理学的观点。由此可推知set aside与throw away同义。
23. The author of the passage tries to　　　.
A. convince us that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Charles Darwin, Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the world
B. draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple things
C. prove that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )two sheets of paper, with the same size and shape, will fall at the same speed
D. draw our attention to everyday happenings around us
【解析】选D。主旨大意题。短文的最后一段点明最简单的事情都可能动摇科学的根基, 意在告诉读者要留意身边的每一件事, 哪怕它非常简单。
B
　　When I saw a big ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) handmade signboard“Welcome Yu Xin”at the airport, I knew I had found a caring family at the other side of the world—the United States.
My host mom had ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) already decorated(装饰)my room for me. There was a doll on one side of the room, and a bookcase full of books on the other—they had heard I loved reading. Mom had also prepared a keyboard for me, since she knew that I played the piano.
My life in the fam ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ily did not go so well at first. Because I am the only child in my family in China, I was not used to having two younger kids—Zachary and Grace—running around me yelling(大喊大叫)all the time.
Mom had a serious t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alk with me about this problem on a Sunday afternoon. She told me, “You can’t just come home from school everyday, go to your room and do your homework. You need to be a part of this family. You need to play with my kids for at least an hour. ”This rule was very annoying at first. I did not have much experience playing with children.
However, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) more time I spent with the kids, the more I grew to love them. We played games and read books together. I even taught them Chinese. Thanks to mom’s rule, I began to feel like I was really part of the family.
Mom also inspir ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed me to live a healthier life. She got up early every morning to go running. On weekends, she took the whole family to visit parks or go camping.
I did not li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ke sports much when I was back home, but now I love to join all kinds of sports. I am healthier and more confident too.
With my American famil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y, I found joy and laughter. I learned to live with energy and optimism(乐观), thanks to the care and responsibility of my loving American parents.

　　The most e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )xciting kind of education is also the most personal. Nothing can exceed the joy of discovering for yourself something that is important to you!It may be an idea or a bit of information you come across by accident or a sudden understanding, fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem. Such personal encounters are the“payoff”in education. A teacher may direct you to learning and even encourage you in it, but no teacher can make the excitement or the joy happen. That’s up to you.
A research paper, ass ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )igned in a course and perhaps checked at various stages by an instructor, leads you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a process where the joy of discovery and learning can come to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and individual process, and an ideal learning process. It provides a structure within which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, which are basic to education. The research paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to suit a piece of work to your own interests and abilities and to show others what you can do. Writing a research paper is more than a classroom exercise. It is an experience in searching out, understanding and synthesizing, which forms the basis of many skills applicable to both academic and nonacademic tasks. It is, in the fullest sense, a discovery, an education. So, to produce a good research paper is both a useful and a thoroughly satisfying experience!
To some, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thought of having to write an assigned number of pages, often more than ever produced before, is disconcerting. To others, the very idea of having to work independently is threatening. But there is no need to approach paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should view the research paper as an obstacle to overcome. Instead, consider it a goal to accomplish, a goal within reach if you use the help this passage can give you.
【语篇概述】本文旨在通过对research paper的介绍, 鼓励大家多做调查研究。因为在调查研究的过程中获得的愉悦是非常美好的。
28. According to the writer, personal discoveries in study　　　.
A. will give one encouragement and direction
B. are helpful in finding the right information
C. are the most valuable part of one’s personal education
D. will help one to successfully complete school assignments
【解析】选C。细节理解题。从第一段第二句“N ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )othing can exceed the joy of discovering for yourself something that is important to you!”可知, 没有什么能够比亲自找到重要东西更使人快乐。故C项正确。
29. It can be inferred ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) from the passage that writing a research paper gives one chances　　　.
A. to fully develop one’s personal abilities

　　Success is oft ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en measured by the ability to overcome adversity(逆境). But it is often the belief of others that gives us the courage(勇气)to try.
J. K. Rowling, a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uthor of the Harry Potter book series, began writing at age 6. Her good friend—Sean became the first person to encourage her and help her build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer.
“He was the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )first person with whom I really discussed my serious ambition(志向)to be a writer. He was also the only person who thought I was bound to(注定)be a success at it, which meant much more to me than I ever told him at the time. ”
Though there were ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ny difficulties, Rowling continued her writing, particularly fantasy stories. But it wasn’t until 1990 that she first came up with the idea about Harry Potter. As she recalled(回忆), it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that“the idea of Harry Potter imply fell into my head. To my great disappointment, I didn’t have a pen with me, and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one. I think, now, that this was probably a good thing, because I simply sat and thought, for four(delayed train)hours, and all the details came up in my brain, and this thin, black-haired, be-spectacled(戴眼镜的)boy who didn’t know he was a wizard became more and more real to me. ”
That same year, her m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )other died after a ten-year fight with serious diseases, which deeply affected her writing. She went on to marry and had a daughter, but separated from her husband shortly afterwards.
During this time, Ro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wling was diagnosed with depression(诊断患有抑郁症). Unemployed, she finished her first novel in area cafés, where she could get her daughter to fall asleep. After being refused by 12 publishing houses, the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small British publishing house.
Now J. K. Rowl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing is the highest earning novelist in history. And it all began with her friend’s encouragement as well as her ambition to write.
【语篇概述】本文以著名作家 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )J. K. Rowling为例, 证实了成功通常是由战胜逆境的能力来衡量的, 但是别人的相信也会给我们尝试和拼搏的勇气。
32. Who believed J. K. Rowling was to be a good writer

B. she didn’t have a pen with her
C. her mind suddenly went blank
D. no one would offer her help
【解析】选B。细节理解题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。根据文章第四段“To my great disappointment, I didn’t have a pen with me. . . ”可知B正确。
34. It can be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )concluded from Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 6 that Rowling is　　　.
A. open-minded B. warm-hearted
C. good-natured D. strong-willed
【解析】选D。推理判断题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )根据文章第五段和第六段可知虽然Rowling遭遇了很多挫折和不幸, 但是她依然坚持写作, 由此可知Rowling意志坚强。
35. The text mainly tells us　　　.
A. adversity makes a good novelist
B. the courage to try is a special ability
C. you can have a wonderful idea everywhere
D. encouragement helps one succeed
【解析】选D。主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段最 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )后一句“And it all began with her friend’s encouragement as well as her ambition to write. ”可知本文主要告诉我们的是鼓励能够使人成功。

How to Become a Top Student
Successful studen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts use different techniques(技巧)to study, which brings them more success. 　36　Here are the four techniques almost all top-performing students use.
They are regular. Almo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st all successful students study regularly, because they know“what you give is what you get”. If you put in regular hours of studying, then you will learn more and get better grades. 　37　This will help you to study regularly.
They have clear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )goals. All top-performing students have definite, specific goals. 　38　They motivate(激发)you and drive you to study more. But make sure that you do not get carried away. Set realistic goals which can challenge(挑战)you, but do not seem impossible or too difficult to achieve.
They study wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thout strain(压力). Successful students study a lot. But they study without putting strain on themselves. Most students make the mistake of studying too hard or studying continuously for a long time. 　39　Studying should be done in a balanced manner. Take a break for a few minutes, after studying for 30 or 45 minutes. Relax, walk around your room or house, or drink some water and return to studying. Such short breaks will refresh your brain and you will learn more.
　40　Studying is not s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )omething you do just because your parents ask you to do it. It’s actually very important for you. Studying gives you knowledge and skills that will remain with you for the rest of your life. It gives you the ability to get a job and earn money. And successful students recognize the value of studying well.
A. This creates tension and actually slows down learning and memory.
B. But to score g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rade A in English, you should make well-planned efforts.
C. Set aside some hours, each day or each week, for studying.
D. Having such goals gives you a purpose to study better.
E. Learn their techniques, and you will also join their rank.
F. They finish their homework on time.
G. They give importance to study.
36. 【解析】选E。前面的句子说成功的学 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )生利用各种技巧, 根据逻辑关系可知, 下句则说如果我们也利用这样的技巧, 我们也会像他们一样获得成功。
37. 【解析】选C。前面的句子说成 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )功的学生懂得“付出就有回报”这个道理, 故他们总是有规律地学习, 根据逻辑关系, 下句说我们也要像他们一样每天或每周都要花一些时间来学习。
38. 【解析】选D。根据上下文逻辑关系, 此处应该说树立这样的目标也会让我们学习更好。
39. 【解析】选A。本段说明压力给学习带来的不利影响, 只有A项说明压力的影响。
40. 【解析】选G。本段说明学习给自己带来的好处, 只有G项说明学习对于自己的重要性。

第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
　　阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。
A
　　Every year there ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In September, 1923, Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. One of the most serious earthquakes was in China’s Shaanxi province in 1556. It killed almost one million people.
We measure an earthqu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ake’s strength on the Richter scale. The Richter scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA. It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.
The Earth’s cru ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st(地壳)is made up of rock called plates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such as Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the plate moves, they move with it.
Earthquakes can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) also break up gas and oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself. Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis. These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many meters high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities. China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence(发生)of earthquakes in the world.
【语篇概述】本文主要讲述了大自然中的一种很常见的灾难——地震的具体信息。
21. The passage is mainly about　　　.
A. scientists who study earthquakes
B. the way of measuring earthquakes

Great Fathers in the Animal World
Hardhead Catfish
　　Although the father ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hardhead catfish doesn’t get pregnant(怀孕的)himself, he does put up to 48 of his fertilized eggs(受精卵)in his mouth and carry them with him for 60 days. This means he can’t eat until the eggs hatch(孵化). It can take two months or longer, meaning that the dads have to live off their own body fat for that long.
Emperor Penguin
　　The empero ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r penguin lives in the coldest place on Earth. After the mother penguin lays her egg, it’s the father’s job to keep it warm. The father balances the egg on his feet and often stays close to other fathers for warmth until his eggs hatch. He stays like this for months without a meal. Only after the mother returns does the father get to head to the sea for a good meal.
Namaqua Sandgrouse
　　Namaqua sandgrouse ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )live in Africa’s southern deserts(沙漠). Since the young chicks cannot make it to water, the dad has to bring it to them, flying up to 50 miles a day to the nearest watering hole. He puts his body in water every morning and his feathers(羽毛)take in the water. He then returns and the chicks can drink the water straight from his feathers.
Greater Hornbill Owl
　　Most mothers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are smaller than the fathers. Well, for greater hornbill owls, this isn’t true. Mothers are the ones who guard their“houses”after they’re built. This leaves the father to spend all his time feeding three to five hungry mouths, one of which may be larger than him. He can sometimes spend the entire night catching small animals to feed his family without eating something himself.
【语篇概述】本文主要讲述了在动物界里为了下一代而默默付出的伟大的“父亲们”。
24. What do fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ther hardhead catfish and father emperor penguins have in common
A. They hatch the eggs.
B. They stay close to other fathers.

25. Father Namaqua sandgrouse are special in the way　　　.

(2015·三明高一检测)
Most homeless p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eople turn to begging to make ends meet. However, a young South African man has come up with an interesting alternative—he spends his days spreading the joy of reading and selling books written by his favorite authors. He is Philani Dladla, who is known as Pavement Bookworm.
While people don’t kno ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w much about how the 24-year-old became a homeless man and how long he has been selling books on the streets, the world’s attention has been focused on the young man recently—thanks to an interview conducted by South African director, Tebogo Malope.
In the video na ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )med Pavement Bookworm, the cheerful Dladla talks about his passion(热爱)for books and how reading helped keep him away from a life of drugs and live a different life. The well-spoken young man also talks about his favorite authors and clearly appreciates what makes him a fan of each one of them.
Not surprisingly, af ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ter Malope uploaded the Pavement Bookworm video on YouTube Dladla has become a celebrity(名人). In addition to being interviewed by other journalists, he has also received several job offers and even a visit from Steven Sidley, the author of Entanglement who hand-delivered(人工递送)his latest book to the enthusiastic reader.
The best thing is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that this newly found fame has led to a business boom. Locals now go out of their way to seek Dladla for book discussions and most importantly to buy his recommendations. What’s heart-warming is that despite being hardly able to make ends meet, Dladla does not accept money from children who are interested in getting a book from him. In order to keep up with the increased demand, Malope is collecting book donations on behalf of the cheerful young man whose mission(使命)in life is to spread his passion for reading!
【语篇概述】本文是一篇记叙文, 介绍了一个不同于其他无家可归者, 他通过在街头卖书的方式来维持生活。

B. he is the only person who has changed the world
C. he depends on the money from others to survive
D. he has been interviewed by famous reporters
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据短文第一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段“. . . he spends his days spreading the joy of reading and selling books written by his favorite authors. ”描述, 可知Dladla不同于其他无家可归者的地方是, 他通过在街上卖书来维持生计。
29. What can we learn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )about Dladla in the video named Pavement Bookworm
A. The young man was used to taking drugs.
B. He makes comments on different authors worldwide.
C. The young man was good at giving speeches after reading.
D. Reading has offered him an opportunity to get improved.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第三段“. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) . . the cheerful Dladla talks about his passion for books and how reading helped keep him away from a life of drugs and live a different life. ”描述可知, 是阅读让他远离了以毒品为伴的生活, 阅读给他提供了一个获得提升的机会。
30. How has the video influenced Dladla according to the passage
A. Many famous aut ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hors have decided to give him books free of charge.
B. He has always been surrounded by many readers with interest.
C. He has become a figure interviewed and visited by others.
D. His story has been well described in a famous book.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )短文倒数第二段“. . . after Malope uploaded the Pavement Bookworm video on YouTube Dladla has become a celebrity. ”描述, 可知自从关于他的采访录像被上传到YouTube后, 他成了一个名人, 很多人来拜访他。
31. Which of the following words can best describe Dladla
A. Ambitious. 　　　　 B. Creative.
C. Patient. D. Determined.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。阅读短文可知 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), Dladla是一个无家可归的人, 但是他没有依靠乞讨的方式谋生, 而是采用在街头卖书的方式来维持生活。由此可见他是一个有创造性的人。

　　On a sunny ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12-year-o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into the open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )quiet in my head, ”Tim recalled(回忆). “I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line. ”
Tim took off his c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back, ”he says. “I wondered if I was putting my life at risk. ”After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella!”
Christian made much e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ffort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.
“Let’s aim for the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) pier(码头), ”Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim ”he cried. “A little bit, ”the boys said.
Once they were in the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.
“Are we almost there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )”they asked again and again. “Yes!”Tim told them each time.
After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.
【语篇概述】两个男孩在大海中面临即将被吞没的危险, 他们该怎样做 会有人帮助他们脱离危险吗
32. Why did the two boys go to the sea
A. To go boat rowing.
B. To get back their football.
C. To swim in the open water.
D. To test the umbrella as a sail.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“to search for a football”可知B项正确。
33. What does“it”in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The beach. B. The water.
C. The boat. D. The wind.
【解析】选D。词义猜测题。阅读上文可知, 绑 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )在船上的伞利用风力将船带入开阔的水域, 孩子们慌了, 尽力往岸边划, 但却抵不过它, 船失控了。因此, it指的是“the wind”。
34. Why did Tim raise his head regularly
A. To take in enough fresh air.
B. To consider turning back or not.
C. To check his distance from the boys.
D. To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第五段第二句“. . . raised his head to judge his progress. ”可知, Tim抬头是为了判断他离两个男孩还有多远。C项是对原文的同义转述, 因此选C。
35. How did the two boys finally reach the pier
A. They were dragged to the pier by Tim.
B. They swam to the pier all by themselves.
C. They were washed to the pier by the waves.
D. They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据倒数 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第三段“Tim decided. . . to pull the boys toward the pier”可知, Tim将两个男孩拖回了码头, A项中的“drag”与原文“pull”同义, 因此选A。

　　根据短文内容, 从短文后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。
　　The Mayan(玛雅)Ind ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ians lived in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s. The Maya were an intelligent, culturally rich people whose achievements were many. They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings. 36　This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make their lives more comfortable and rewarding.
In ancient Mexi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )co there were many small clearings in the forest. In each clearing was a village with fields of corn, beans, and other crops around it. To clear the land for farms, the Maya cut down trees with stone axes. They planted seeds by digging holes in the ground with pointed sticks. 37　But not every Maya had to be a farmer. Some were cloth makers, builders, or priests.
The Maya built large ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) temples to honor the Mayan gods. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing.
Although the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cities that the Maya built were beautiful, and the people worked hard to build them, very few of the people lived in them. Usually, only the priests lived in the cities. The other people lived in small villages in the forests. They lived in small huts with no windows. The walls were made of poles covered with dried mud, and the roof was made of grass or leaves. 38　.
　　Measuring time was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )important to the Maya. 39　A system was developed for measuring time accurately. Mayan priests made the system to keep track of time. They made a calendar based on their study of the sun, moon and stars. The Mayan calendar was far more accurate than the European calendars of the time.

　　Todaythere is another problem that is troubling British societyIt seems that young people in Britain today are losing the ability to communicate clearly and accurately in Standard English, and the British government is so concerned that it has set up a committee to“promote the better use of English”. However, do British young people really have a problem in expressing themselves A study published last October suggests that there is a real cause for concern: it showed that among the UK’s 15-year-olds, only 22 percent of boys and28 percent of girls feel comfortable using Standard English in formal situations, such as at school and in interviews. Some people think that British pupils leaving school are not as good at using languages as pupils from other countries, partlybecause they spend little time talking in class. There is some reason for being concerned about the levels of fluency and willingness to speak in public, even if“public”just means in front of the rest of the class. The government committee is made up of people from the world of business, education, sports, the arts and the media. It will be chaired by the news announcer, Trevor McDonald. He is a widely respected and popular figure.

A
If you want t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o help children develop language and speech skills, UCLA researchers say, listening to what they have to say is just as important as talking to them.
　　The effect of a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) conversation between a child and an adult is about six times as great as the effect of adult speech input alone, the researchers found. “Adults speaking to children helps language develop, but what matters much more is the interaction(互动交流), ”said the study’s lead author, Frederick Zimmerman, an associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles. The researchers also found that TV viewing didn’t have much of an effect—positively or negatively—as long as it wasn’t displacing(替换)conversations between an adult and a child.
　　The UCLA stu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dy included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old. They represented a variety of incomes and education. The researchers found that, in an average day, children heard about 13, 000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adult-child conversations a day.
　　Assessed(评估)separ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ately, factors positively associated(有关系)with language development including each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1, 000 words increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children. When looked at alone, TV was negatively associated with language development. But, when the three factors were analyzed together, the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.
　　“The more a child s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )peaks and interacts with an adult, the better idea a parent has about where the child is, ”Zimmerman said. “Although it’s mostly done unconsciously, parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes. They’ll also tailor their speech to the child. Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they’re doing, such as, ‘I’m putting on your pajamas now’. But give your child the opportunity to talk, hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment, ”she added. “If parents can carve out some conversation time—maybe at bath time or at dinner time—that’s a wonderful thing. ”
【语篇概述】研究发现, 父母和孩子之间的交谈对孩子语言的发展至关重要。这种交谈必须是双向的、互动的。
21. The researchers also found that TV viewing _______ .
A. could have a positive effect on a child’s language development
B. had a little effect on a child’s language development
C. affected ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a child’s language development more negatively than positively
D. affected a child’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )language development both negatively and positively
【解析】选B。细节理解题。从文章第二段最后一句可知, 看电视对孩子没有多少影响, 无论是积极的还是消极的。
22. Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that _______ .
A. parents should let their children talk most of the time
B. children should watch TV programs selectively
C. the conversation between parents and children should be two-way
D. it’s no good ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) for parents to correct their children’s mistakes when they are speaking
【解析】选C。推理判断题。从文章第二段内容可知, Zimmerman强调父母跟孩子之间交谈的双向性和互动性才是更重要的。
23. We can conclude from the last paragraph that _______ .
A. parents should let a child repeat what he or she says
B. bath time or dinn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er time is the best chance for parents to talk to a child
C. parent-child conversation can be carried out at any proper time
D. parents should leave a child talking alone
【解析】选C。推理判断题。从文章最后一段可知, 父母应该随时创造跟孩子交谈的机会, 时间的选择是非常灵活的。

B. Let Your Children Voice Their Own Opinions
C. How to Develop a Child’s Language Ability
D. The Importance of Early Child Language Development
【解析】选A。主旨大意题。根据文章内容分析, 文章强调父母和孩子之间的交流, 而且强调交流的互动性, 因此A项符合文章的主旨。
B
The“Thumbs-Up”
While western cu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lture has become used to the thumbs-up as a positive signal, probably coming from World War Ⅱ pilots using the signal to communicate that they were“good to go”with ground crew(地勤人员), there are cultures where a thumbs-up may land you in trouble. In West Africa as well as Greece, Italy and Middle East, the thumbs-up is pretty much the biggest insult(侮辱). Rather more charming is a thumbs-up in Germany and in parts of Japan—they just see it as the hand signal for the number one.
The“A-OK”
This sign is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mainly used by divers(潜水员)to mean“OK”(to prevent being confused with the thumbs-up sign, which means“rise”). Basically the meaning comes out as“great”, or“completely fine”. However, in a few countries in Europe, people may think you’re telling them that you think they’re a“zero”.
The“V Sign”
The sign comes in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )two formats(形式): one with the palm faced outwards, and one with the palm inwards. In America they mean the same thing—“victory”. However, if the outside of your hand is facing your target, you’re giving somebody a long established insult in Great Britain and many English-speaking countries such as Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. Winston Churchill(丘吉尔)famously used the“incorrect”version of the V sign during the early years of the war, turning the outside inside later. The V sign is also considered rude in Italy.
The“Corna”
The corna hand ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) gesture has most recently been accepted by fans of rock and heavy metal music. Nowadays many Americans use the gesture simply to mean“rock on”or in support of the University of Texas in Austin(known as the“Hook’em Horns”). Today it is still popular in Spain, Brazil and Slovakia(斯洛伐克). Historically, however, the symbol possibly dates back to Ancient Greece.
【语篇概述】本文介绍了四个广为人知的手势语的含义及使用情况。
25. The pilots in Wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld WarⅡused to make the“Thumbs-Up”sign to show　　　.
A. the plane was very good
B. the plane was ready to take off
C. they were going to land on the ground
D. they were thankful to the ground crews
【解析】选B。细节理解题。从 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第一段第一句内容可知, 在第二次世界大战时期, 飞行员用竖起大拇指的手势向地勤人员表示“已经准备好了, 要出发了”。
26. What information can we get from the passage
A. Italians often use the“Thumbs-Up”to praise others.
B. The“A-OK”and the“Thumbs-Up”have the same meaning to the divers.
C. The“V Sign”was first used by Churchill.
D. You can see the“Corna”in a heavy metal music concert.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。从最 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )后一段第一句“The corna hand gesture has most recently been accepted by fans of rock and heavy metal music. ”可知, 在重金属音乐会上你能看到该手势。
27. If you travel abroad, you’d better not use the“V sign”in　　　.
A. Greece or Italy　　　　 B. Germany or Japan
C. Ireland or Italy D. Spain or Brazil
【解析】选C。推理判断题。从第三段第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )三句和最后一句可知, 在澳大利亚、爱尔兰、新西兰等讲英语的国家, 该手势意味着对别人的侮辱, 该手势在意大利也被认为是粗鲁无礼的。
28. What can we learn from the passage
A. Never too old to learn.
B. Do as the Romans do.
C. Four eyes see more than two.
D. Every country has its own customs.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。文章主要 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )介绍了四种常见的手势, 然而它们的含义却由于国家的不同而不同, 甚至有天壤之别。由此我们可知, 每个国家都有自己独特的文化习俗。
C
　　Jack Johnson is one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the most popular singer-song writers in the world.
　　Jack was born o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n May 18, 1975 in Hawaii. Being the son of a famous surfer, Jack usually has an interest in surfing. Most of his life lessons were learned in the water. At the age of 17, Jack entered the finals of the Pineline Masters—the world’s most famous surfing competition. Everyone thought Jack would become a professional surfer like his father. Unluckily, one month later, he had a deadly accident while surfing and was seriously hurt.
Life is like a revo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lving door. When it closes, it also opens. Jack started to practice playing the guitar and write songs when he was staying in hospital. At first, his father thought Jack only did it for fun, but soon he was surprised at the great progress his son had made.
When studying in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the university, Jack didn’t stop practicing his guitar skills. He played the guitar for school parties. He wrote songs and sang for his teachers and friends. They liked his songs. His first music album Brushfire Fairytales came out in 2001. It was a great success. His second album, On and On, was much like his first. They were filled with sweet, easy-going songs that everybody liked listening to later. Jack had lots of concerts in and out of America. He became popular all over the world.
Jack had five albu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ms by 2010 and more than 15 million copies of them were sold. His music doesn’t fit into any of the popular music styles like pop, rocks, R and B or hip-hop. It is more like folk music, played with a guitar and beautiful voice. When listening to his songs, you feel like lying on the beach enjoying the warm sunshine.
Jack is a tal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ent, though he himself says he is only a surfer who loves music. In his songs we can find his secret of success. Whatever happens in our lives, we have to accept it and do the best we can.

　　My life began muc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h like most children’s before my father left us. I grew up without knowing what a father was and no one was there to teach me how to behave and how to tell right from wrong. Because of this, I developed problems with alcohol and spent seven years as a boy in the street, before ending up in a rehab clinic(康复诊所)when I was 20.
Inside I met ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) my counselor(辅导员), Bill, and he taught me a lot of things. The main thing was the gift of giving. It was the night before an important test and I was very nervous. Bill saw this and suggested that we should go out for a walk. As we walked and talked, Bill suggested we should go for a coffee. I told him I was broke, and when I got paid, I would pay him back. He stopped then and looked at me in a serious but loving way and said, “No, you won’t. ”He told me that I didn’t owe(欠)him anything and he was doing this because he wanted to. He then told me something that has followed me to this day, “One day you’ll be around someone and they’ll need a coffee, and you’ll be able to buy it for them. That’s how you can pay me back. ”
I’m a primary schoo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l teacher now; far away from the life I had ten years ago. My job is simple and I buy young people coffee now. Bill taught me how to do that.

A. have a cup of coffee
B. teach the author a lesson
C. make the author less nervous
D. make friends with the author

　　We know the wester ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them.

※After dinner, use your napkin(餐巾)to clean your mouth and hands.

Then after din ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.

As summer vacation ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was coming soon, my classmates are trying very hardly to get train tickets to go home. But I have made up my minds to spend the vacation far from home for first time in my life. My parents have agreed to visiting me, and I will have a different vacation. When they came here, I will show they around my university and the city as well. I have decided to buy them some nice gifts. It will be a big surprising for them. My parents had done a lot for me, and I think it is a high time that I did something special to express my thanks.
答案:
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
1. 【解析】第一句中的was→is。根据下文可知, 整段文章说的事情为现在的情况, 此处用现在进行时表将来。
2. 【解析】第一句中的hardly→hard。此处应该使用副词hard表示“努力”, hardly表示“几乎不”。
3. 【解析】第二句中的minds→mind。主语是单数I, 所以mind也用单数。
4. 【解析】第二句中在first前加the。for the first time意为“第一次”。
5. 【解析】第三句中的visiting→visit。agree to do sth. 意为“同意做某事”。
6. 【解析】第四句中的came→come。此处表示将来, 在时间状语从句中用一般现在时表示一般将来时。
7. 【解析】第四句中的第二个they→th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )em。根据上文的主语they可知, 此处用宾格代词them指代my parents, 作show的宾语。
8. 【解析】第六句中的surprising→surprise。前面有冠词故此处应该使用名词。
9. 【解析】第七句中的had→have。此处应该使用现在完成时, 表示对现在的影响。
10. 【解析】第七句中的第二个a去掉。it is high time that. . . “到了该干某事的时候了”。

The summer h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oliday is coming. Our class has had a discussion about what to do during the holiday. ____________________________________________________

【参考范文】
The summer holiday is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )coming. Our class has had a discussion about what to do during the holiday. But different people have different ideas.
Some are in favor of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) staying at home. After a tiring term, they believe it a convenient and comfortable way to relax. Besides, it’s traditional for them to get together with friends and relatives during the Spring Festival. But they will lose the chance of getting experience of the outside world.
However, others ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )prefer to go out for travelling. They think meeting different people will increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. However, it will surely take a lot of money and the trips may cause some inconvenience as well.
In my opinion, it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )would be better to stay at home, for I can do whatever I like and help my parents with the housework.
