答案 D [考查倍数的用法。句意为： ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )今天中国人花费在教育上的人均费用是1960年的两倍多。倍数的表达形式是“倍数＋as...as...”，所以A、B不对；又因为句中已经有个as，所以C项错误。]

II. 阅读理解
A
Katharine Mehta's m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )other likes to joke that the first sentence her daughter said was“I love dogs.”It's not the fact, but it's certainly true in spirit.
“When I was youn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g, my grandmother told me about how she sometimes found stray dogs and cats, and kept them on her farm as pets，”says Katharine.“That made me wonder what would happen when animals didn't have a home.I felt horrible thinking that they might be hungry or could get hit by a car.”
But what cou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld a little girl do？The answer came during a trip to a park in her New York City neighborhood two years ago, where she met volunteers from Mighty Mutts, a local no kill animal rescue organization.“I thought maybe I could earn some money and give it to them，”she says.
Since Katharine had ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )plenty of practice taking care of her own dog, she decided to start a summer dog walking service.She chose two friends and, with their parents'permission, the group put up homemade posters with their phone numbers and a bargain price—50 cents an hour.Before long they had 15 dogs in their care.“We walked two or three at a time with one mother helping out，”she says.“By the end of that summer, we'd collected $45.”That fall Katharine and her mother，Loma, came up with another mini enterprise to raise money for Mighty Mutts—selling fresh baked shortbread to their neighbors.
The 11 year old， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )who starts sixth grade this fall, has become a nonstop campaigner.Her mother says，“When she sees somebody with a dog, she starts a conversation and tells them to donate to Mighty Mutts.”
Katharine's pass ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ion comes from the heart.“It makes me cry to think that strays might be_put_to_sleep when there's a group that can find new homes for them，” Katharine says.“But it makes me smile to know I can help.”
Notes：
①stray adj.流浪的 ②shortbread n．黄油甜酥饼
1．Katharine's love of dogs comes from________．
A．her grandmother's influence
B．her mother's influence
C．the influence of an organization
D．seeing a dog killed by a car
2．How did Katharine help the organization—Mighty Mutts
A．By walking stray dogs.
B．By giving shortbread to stray dogs.
C．By collecting money.
D．By making speeches everywhere.
3．The underl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ined part“be put to sleep”in the last paragraph means“________”．
A．to be supplied with a comfortable place for sleeping
B．to be given drugs so that they can die without pain
C．to be made unconscious before a medical operation
D．to be made to sleep
4．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Katharine and her pets
B．An organization for rescuing stray dogs
C．Pet dogs are popular with children
D．A little girl helps strays
5．The author's attitude towards Katharine's behaviour is________．
A．disappointed B．indifferent
C．favourable D．critical
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲了11岁女孩Katharine是如何关爱和帮助流浪狗等小动物的。
1．A [细节理解题。由第二段可知，Katharine关心流浪狗是受奶奶的影响。]
2．C [推理判断题。由第三、 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )四段可知，Katharine为别人遛狗挣钱，然后捐给Mighty Mutts，并且经常劝说养狗的人为Mighty Mutts捐款，故选C。]
3．B [词义猜测题。Kath ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arine很有爱心，非常关心无家可归的小动物，所以她一想到流浪的小动物被人们用药物所谓“仁道地”杀死，她就会心痛地流泪。put to sleep意为“用药物使(长眠)，无痛苦地杀死”。]
4．D [标题归纳题。全文主要讲述了小女孩Katharine帮助、关爱流浪狗，故正确答案为D。]
5．C [态度判断题。根据作者在文 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )中多次引用小女孩母亲的话和小女孩的话来展现小女孩帮助流浪小动物的感人行为，及最后一段第一句可判断，作者对Katharine行为的认可和赞成。]
B
Does stress cause gr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay hair？Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color.In fact，it is an_old_wives’_tale that being upset all the time can result in premature graying.Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives’ tale could be true.
As one ages，the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hairs on the head also age.In fact，just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear after a while.The joints wear and become stiff and skin wears and becomes wrinkled.Hairs on the head grow and eventually die.They are replaced，but in the process something else happens.
When new hairs are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )replaced，the color or pigment (色素) is also added to them.However，as one ages，this pigment becomes less and less available.At first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color.In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white.Many things are known to cause graying，and genetics is a very powerful factor.If one of your parents turns gray at an early age，there is a good chance that you will too.Some people begin the graying process in high school，while others may be over the age of forty.
Constant worry and t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ension can have many harmful effects on the human body.It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss.It would make sense that if it can cause these problems，perhaps it also may contribute to graying.However，there is no sound evidence to support this.
On the other h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and，many medical professionals believe that there may be a link between graying and a constant state of anxiety or tension.Does stress cause gray hair？There is no scientific evidence to support the theory，but it is best to avoid stressful situations.
6．The underl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ined phrase in the first paragraph most probably means________.
A．clever remarks B．silly remarks
C．exciting remarks D．disappointed remarks
7．The second paragraph mainly tells us________.
A．every part of body is replaced with age
B．hairs will grow weak but not die
C．skin becomes wrinkled with age
D．every part of body ages with age
8．What might play the most important role in the graying process
A．Genetics and the amount of sleeping time.
B．The amount of food people eat and living environment.
C．The amount of pigment and genetics.
D．Genetics and the amount of water people drink
9．According to the passage，continuous pressure may result in________.
A．a person’s fatness B．a person’s fitness
C．a person’s weight loss D．a person’s hair loss
10．From the passage we can infer that________.
A．stress causing gray hair is still in question
B．gray hair has nothing to do with tension
C．stressful situations can be of benefit
D．sound evidence has been found
【语篇解读】 压力会导致头发变白吗？许多 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )人相信情况是这样的。本文从年龄和基因两方面谈了头发变白的原因，持续的压力和忧虑对于身体是有害的，可导致脱发。但是，究竟压力和头发变白之间是否有联系，目前尚无定论。
6．B [词义猜测题。画线短语前面提到 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color”，即许多人相信紧张和压力导致头发褪色变白。短文接着谈到“In fact，it is...”，这是推测画线词意思的关键。因此an old wives’ tale意为“无稽之谈”。]
7．D [主旨大意题。第二段第一句话是该段的主题句。从中可以看出，人体的每一部分都会随着年龄的增长而衰老。]
8．C [细节理解题。本文第三段提到“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )At first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color.In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white.Many things are known to cause graying，and genetics is a very powerful factor.”由此可以看出，色素和基因在头发变白的过程中起着重要的作用。]
9．D [细节理解题。本文倒数第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )二段提到“Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body.It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss”。由此可知，持续的压力会导致脱发。]
10．A [推理判断题。本 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文倒数第二段最后提到“However，there is no sound evidence to support this.”最后一段也提到“There is no scientific evidence to support the theory...”。由此可知，是否压力会引起头发变白仍无定论。]

(2015·江西八校高三联考)
There is a very inst ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ructive incident involving the life of Alexander, the great Greek king. Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. So, he lay helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, “I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail.”
“My first desire is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that，” said Alexander, “My physicians alone must carry my coffin.” After a pause, he continued, “Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn(撒满) with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected.” The king continued, “My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept hanging out of my coffin.” Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. “Oh King, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes？”
At this Alexander too ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k a deep breath and said, “I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any body. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let people not take life for granted.
The second wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sh of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.
And about my third ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty－handed into this world and empty－handed I go out of this world.” With these words, the king closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last.

(2015·河南开封市高三模拟)
In America, p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能) to the fullest extent. Fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work toward their goals. American parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they can't. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of them even want to become president.
American pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rents often encourage their children to become involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that only through taking part in these activities can their children become mature young adults.
As we all know, sc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hoolwork is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn form natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. What's more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively.
As a rule, Chinese ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) parents don't educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so.
Now more and more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children. I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. I am very confident about it.
语篇解读：本文是教育议论文。文章主要比较 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )了中国父母和美国父母不同的教育方式，可喜的是中国的父母已经意识到自己的不足，今后会更加注意孩子社交技能的培养。
5．From the passage ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), we know the American parents pay much more attention to ________.
A．the social skills than Chinese parents
B．their children's studying hard and well
C．what their children want but they can't
D．extra activities than schoolwork
答案：A 判断推理题。根据题干关键词“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the American parents pay much more attention to”找到文章对应段落是文章第四段的“As a rule, Chinese parents don't educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do”，再根据前三段美国父母对孩子的社交技能的培养推断美国的父母比中国的父母更重视孩子社交技能的培养。故选A。
6．According to the passage, Chinese parents ________.
A．know more than American parents to educate their children
B．think owning ambition and confidence is necessary and important
C．pay much more attention to their children's fine future
D．don't encourage their children to participate in extra activities
答案：D 细节理解题。根据题干 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )关键词Chinese parents找到文章对应段落是第四段，其中的“nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities”可知中国的父母不鼓励孩子参与额外的活动。故选D。
7．From the passage, we can infer ________.
A．American children are brave and adventurous
B．American children are more active in their studies
C．Chinese children have the ability to communicate effectively
D．Something should ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be done to develop the potential of the children in China
答案：D 判断推理题。根据文章最后一段的“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Now more and more Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children”判断中国应该采取措施开发孩子们的潜能了。故选D。
8．What's the writer's attitude towards Chinese education reform
A．Neutral. B．Indifferent.
C．Positive. D．Negative.
答案：C 判断推理题。neu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tral“中立的”；indifferent“冷淡的”；positive“积极的”；negative“否定的”。根据文章最后一段的“I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. I am very confident about it”可推断作者对中国的教育采取的是积极态度。故选C。
Ⅱ.七选五
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。
There are simple wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ys to organize and clean sports gear (设备). It just takes a little extra effort, along with some tricks. Here are some tips.
Organizing sports gear
For children playin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g different sports, have gym bags in different colors for each sport—basketball gets green, soccer gets red, baseball gets blue. __1__ As for what to do with the soccer ball or baseball bat that comes home, keep items contained to one spot in the garage. Overhead shelves and nets work well for out－of－season items, too. They are out of the way but still in sight.
Cleaning sports gear
Most items can go in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the washing machine. Use warm water, and always air－dry. For padded items with plastic, put them in a mesh laundry washing bag or a pillow case with a zipper. __2__
●Gym bags
__3__ It's body odor. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )You played soccer, or basketball, or fencing, and you sweat. Prevent odor from building up by putting used fabric softener sheets in the bag, or spraying the inside of the bag with aerosol deodorant. This also works well for padded helmets, where sweat gathers.
●Water bottles
Water bottles ofte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n get a moldy, damp smell after a sports season or two. If you have really cleaned it, if you've used a scrub brush, you may have scratched the plastic. __4__ Try using vinegar, which is safe and environmentally friendly, to kill mold and mildew.
●Hats
The easiest way to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )clean a baseball cap is to put it in the dishwasher. Then take it out and air－dry it. If you want to make sure the cap keeps a rounded shape, dry it over a coffee can. __5__ Another option is to use shampoo, which is designed to break down body oil.
A．As we all know, they smell.
B．It's necessary to clean a sport gear after every practice.
C．You can also put it on a blown－up balloon.
D．This protects the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )machine, and the equipment from getting scratched.
E．Those tiny litt ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le scratches are where bacteria can get, and cause that smell.
F．Don't let children stuff clothing in their bags.
G．So when they're ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rushing from one activity to the next, it's easy to grab the correct gear.
语篇解读：这是一篇说明文。丈中介绍了整理以及清洗运动设备的简单又实用的方法。
1．G 根据空格前的信息“For ch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ildren playing different sports, have gym bags in different colors for each sport—basketball gets green, soccer gets red, baseball gets blue”可知，此处应选G与之构成语义上的因果关系。
2．D 根据空格前的信息“F ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or padded items with plastic, put them in a mesh laundry washing bag or a pillow case with a zipper”可知此处应选D，意为“这样可以保护洗衣机和设备不被刮出痕迹”。
3．A 根据空格后的“It ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )'s body odor. You played soccer, or basketball, or fencing, and you sweat”可知，此处指包会发出难闻的气味。故选A。
4．E 根据空格前的“if you've ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )used a scrub brush, you may have scratched the plastic.”及空格后的“Try using vinegar...to kill mold and mildew”可知，此处应选E，指瓶子的划痕处会滋生细菌，发出难闻气味。
5．C 根据空格前的“If you want ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to make sure the cap keeps a rounded shape, dry it over a coffee can”可知，空格处讲的应是不让帽子变形的方法。故选C。
Ⅲ.语法填空
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Susan in Her New Flat
(The bell rings. Susan's mother is at the door. )

Susan：I must say I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )looked __7__ nearly six months. I asked estate agents and friends and went through advertisements.
Mother：I hope the rent isn't too __8__.
Susan：No, it's qu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ite __9__(reason). But I've been lucky because most of the flats I __10__(offer) were less comfortable and the rents were too high.
Mother：You've done very well! You're really very lucky.

语篇解读：苏珊正和妈妈谈论新租的房子。
1．to come 考查非谓语动词作宾语补足语。expect sb.to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“指望某人做某事”。
2．which 考查定语从句。先 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )行词为the living room，关系词在定语从句中作主语，且该从句为非限制性定语从句，故用which引导。
3．it 考查反意疑问句。it和前面的主语一致。
4．really 考查副词。设空处需用副词作状语。
5．will plant 考查时态：根据时间状语soon可知本空需用一般将来时。
6．bookshelves 考查名词复 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )数。设空处前有some“一些”，故设空处需用可数名词的复数形式。bookshelf的复数形式为bookshelves。
7．for 考查介词。句意：我必须得说我找了近6个月的房子。根据后面的nearly six months可知设空处用for。
8．high 考查行文逻辑。名词rent“租金”需和形容词high或low搭配，再结合文章的行文逻辑可知填high。
9．reasonable 考查形容词。设空处为表语，故用形容词。句意：价格十分合理。
10．was offered 考查 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )时态和语态。“I __10__ (offer)”为定语从句，先行词为the flats。I与offer之间为被动关系，故用被动语态，再根据上下文语境可知设空处需用一般过去时，故答案为was offered。offer sb.sth.的被动形式是sb.be offered sth.。
