答案 C 考查结果状语从句及固定 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )搭配。句意为:听到这个不好的消息,她如此悲伤以至于我得留下来陪她。此句采用了“so...that...”结构,that引导的是结果状语从句;keep pany为固定表达,意思是“陪伴某人”或“和某人作陪”。

14.If she________an hour earlier,she wouldn’t have been caught in the rain.
A.has returned B.returned
C.will return D.had returned

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了“我”在旅馆里看到一只苍蝇不停地试图穿过玻璃飞出去,这无疑是在自杀。它完全可以从旁边开着的门飞走。“我”从这件事得到启发:人们在遇到困难的时候,不应冒昧地尝试,应该有所突破,才有机会获得成功。
1.D [句意为:我听到了绝望的声音。listen to“听到”。A、B、C三项均没有“听到”的意思。]
2.A [struggle意为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“挣扎,斗争”;cry意为“哭,喊叫”;yell意为“叫喊”;test意为“测试”。由第二段第四句中“the struggle is part of trap”的提示可知,此处应选用struggle。]
3.B [bird意为“鸟”; ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fly意为“苍蝇”;insect意为“昆虫”;worm意为 “爬虫”。由第二段第五句中的“the fly to try hard enough to succeed in...”可知,B项正确。]
4.D [experience意为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“经验,经历”;direction意为“方向”;force意为“武力”;attempt意为“尝试”。根据上下文语境可知,苍蝇正在尝试穿过玻璃飞出去。]
5.D [thus意为“因而”;so意为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“所以”;although意为“虽然”;however意为“然而”。句意为:虽然苍蝇不断地尝试穿过玻璃窗,然而并不奏效。前后两句是转折关系。]
6.C [unusual“不同寻 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )常的”;likely“可能的”;impossible“不可能的”;common“寻常的”。由常识可知,苍蝇是不可能成功穿过玻璃飞出去的。]
7.B [dig“挖掘”;break“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )打破”;push“推”;jump“跳”。短语break through意为“突破,冲破”,符合语境。]
8.B [kill“杀死”;die“死”;lie“撒谎,躺”;stick“粘贴”。由常识判断,如果苍蝇不断地撞击玻璃,就会死在那里。]
9.A [away“距离……远”;far ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“远的”;near“近的”;distant“远的”。away用在名词后,表示距离某地有多远,符合语境。]
10.D [dream“梦想 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )”;think of“考虑”;miss“怀念,错过”;long for“渴望”。句意为:只需十秒钟的飞行,这只苍蝇就能飞到外面它所渴望的世界。]
11.C [do“做,完成”;own“拥有”;waste“浪费”;plan“计划”。根据语境可知,它之前的努力都白费了,故C项符合语境。]
12.B [aim“目的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ),目标”;trap“陷阱”;net“网”;goal“目的”。由第二段第四句中的“the struggle is part of the trap”可知,trap符合语境,即自我设置的陷阱。]
13.A [easy“轻松的,容易的”; ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )necessary“必要的”;hard“艰难的”;obvious“明显的”。句意为:突破的可能性就在那里,是那么简单。]
14.D [something“某事, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )某物”,常用于肯定句;anything“任何事物”,常用于否定句和疑问句。在表示请求、建议或征求意见的疑问句中常用something。]
15.A [that可引导定语从句,也 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )可引导名词性从句;what引导名词性从句;which引导形容词性从句;where可引导定语从句和状语从句。从句中不缺任何成分,且句中先行词是idea,所以其后要用that来引导同位语从句,对idea进行补充说明。]
16.A [sense“感觉,意 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )识”,常和make构成短语,make sense意为“有意义”;difference“区别,不同”;effect“影响”;effort“努力”。句意为:毫无疑问,这种方法对这只苍蝇来说是有意义的。]
17.D [在solution的后面常跟to表示的不定式,是固定搭配。意为“解析法”。]
18.C [advice“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )建议”;support“支持,支撑”;hope“希望”;power“力量”。此处与最后一段中的“If you________your hopes for a...”相照应,故用hope符合语境。]
19.A [risk“冒险,冒…… ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的风险”;get“获得”;make“制作”;take“带走”。句意为:如果你冒险把你的希望放在比以往更艰难的突破上,你就可能有扼杀成功的机会。]
20.B [fail“失败”;kill“杀死”;achieve“获得,达到”;fulfill“执行,履行”由语境可知,此处应用kill。]
Ⅲ.阅读理解
Former Irish P ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )resident Mary Robinson was just making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian (埃塞俄比亚的) teenager about her wedding day.The 16 year old had already been married for a year.“She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said,‘I had to drop out of school,’ ” Robinson said in a telephone interview.“That conveyed to me the reality,” said Robinson,the first woman to serve as Ireland’s president and former U.N.High Commissioner for Human Rights.“Her life,as far as she is concerned,had more or less ended.”
Robinson said keepi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an ever increasing population,predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon.“European countries are concerned about aging populations,but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion,”she said.“Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries,so that we have a very big challenge.”
Family planning exper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts worry in particular about the future population explosion in Sub Saharan Africa.In May,the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100.Much of that growth will come from Africa,where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year—more than double Asia’s 1 percent growth rate.If that rate stays consistent,which is not certain,Africa’s population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion.
Joel Cohen,a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York,said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth rate regions.In addition to providing information about birth control,a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility,improve the health of their children and allows them to move from a mindset of having many children in the hope that some will survive to improve the quality of each child’s life,Cohen wrote in the journal Nature.
1.In the first paragraph,the author introduces his topic by________.
A.giving an example
B.explaining the author’s opinions
C.describing the poor education system
D.coming straight to the topic
2.What can we learn from the passage
A.Robinson is happy after talking to the Ethiopian girl.
B.Robinson is a successful expert in population studies.
C.Robinson is worried about the population growth.
D.Robinson encourages female education.
3.What is Joel Cohen’s view about secondary education
A.It provides basic knowledge of heahh.
B.It reduces aging population.
C.It makes people pay more attention to education.
D.It can change people’s parenting ideas.
4.According to the pas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sage,the most important way to control high population growth is______.
A.let girls go away from Africa
B.keep girls in school
C.let young girls remain single
D.keep girls in families
【语篇解读】 人口的快速增长困 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )扰着世界。有关人士指出,控制人口快速增长的一种方式就是提高女性的受教育水平,进而改变人们头脑中固有的传统生育观念。
1.A [篇章结构题。在本段中,作者以爱尔兰前总统Mary Robinson与埃塞俄比亚的一位已婚少女的交谈为例引入话题,所以A项正确。]
2.C [推理判断题。第二段引号中的内容 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )提到“欧洲国家担心出现人口老龄化问题,但与人口快速增长相比,这算不了什么。几乎所有的人口增长都发生在发展中国家,这将是一个巨大的挑战。”由此可推断她担心的是人口增长问题。]
3.D [推理判断题。由最后一段的最后一句可知,Joel Cohen在《自然》杂志中写到中学教育可以改变人们的育儿理念。]
4.B [细节理解题。根据第二段第一句前半部分中的内容可知,控制人口快速增长的最重要的方式之一是让女孩儿上学。]

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2015·南昌高三十校二模)
While most of us are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) happy to take the credit when things go well, few of us are willing to take the blame when things go wrong. Rather than trying to hide our shame or embarrassment, experts found that we are simply less aware when our actions result in a negative outcome.
The research may expl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ain why we often feel it hard to take the blame for our actions. “Our result suggests that people may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive outcomes,” said Patrick Haggard, leading researcher and professor of the institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London.
In a series of tests, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) participants were asked to press a key. A sound then followed, either disapproving, neutral or approving, and they were then asked to estimate the time between the action and when they had heard the sound.
Researchers f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ound that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes. They also discovered they were significantly slower to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence, compared to when they had done well.
“Effectively, we h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave found that we experience a negative outcome differently, not just retell it differently. We make a weaker connection when there is a bad result. And respond much more strongly when something good happens,” said Professor Haggard. When something goes right, everyone wants to take the credit, and when things go wrong, nobody is interested in putting their hands up.
The researchers s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay our brain is “very much concerned” with reward, as good results are key to survival. Although our own perception (认知) of whether we are guilty of something or not is changed by the outcomes, this does not provide a defense if we have done something wrong. “Our experience of our own responsibilities can be misleading and can be strongly colored by the outcomes of our actions,” said Professor Haggard. “We have to take responsibility for what we actually do, not just for how we experience things.”
语篇解读:本文一篇研究报告,讲述的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )是人们在事情进展顺利时承担责任而在事情变得更加糟糕时不愿意接受责备,研究者以研究结果来给人们进行了分析。
1.People who don't take the blame for their actions ________.
A.always try to hide their shame or embarrassment.
B.are only willing to take the credit when things go well
C.feel less responsible for negative than for positive outcomes
D.are less aware of what to do when a negative outcome happens
答案:C 推理判断题。根据第二段提到“Our ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) result suggests that people may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive outcome”可知我们的结果显示人们对于积极的结果比负面的结果更为负责,故选C项。
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE
A.Our level o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f responsibility can be strongly affected by the outcomes of our actions.
B.When somet ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hing bad happens, nobody is interested in dealing with the problem.
C.People were quick ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence.
D.Participants were ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) asked to count the time between pressing a key and hearing the sound.
答案:A 细节理解题。根据第四段提 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )到“Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes”研究发现个体所能承受的责任度取决于结果,故选A项。
3.How is the passage developed
A.By giving examples. B.By quoting research findings.
C.By making comparison. D.By providing data.
答案:B 推理判断题。根据第二段提到“T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he research may explain why we often feel it hard to take the blame for our actions”和第四段提到“Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes”可知文章是引用研究结果来进行叙述的,故选B项。
4.According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) passage, a person who is concerned with reward is ________.
A.awkward B.natural
C.absurd D.stubborn
答案:B 推理判断题。根据最后一段提到 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“The researchers say our brain is “very much concerned” with reward, as good results are key to survival”研究表明我们的大脑会更关心回报,这是因为结果是幸存的关键,故选B项。

(2015·西安高三八校联考)
When times get ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we're hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.
One cost-cutting pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor' s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there's a question: Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.
I doubt that mainstre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )am North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(课程) any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分). In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting(稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.
In my opinion, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it' s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.
语篇解读:本文是议论文阅读。作者主要论 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )述了大学教育的“速成”问题和大学资格的问题,作者认为知识和技能需要时间去消化和提高,所以他不赞成大学教育的速成。
5.The first paragraph serves as a(n)________.
A.explanation B.comment
C.definition D.introduction
答案:D 推理判断题。A“解释”;B“评论”;C“定义”;D“介绍”。通读第一、二段可推断第一段是介绍,引出主题。故选D。
6.In most US universities, ________.
A.college students are offered the co-op program
B.electives' credits make up one quarter of the required credits
C.all students are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )required to finish four-year education before graduation
D.some excellent students can graduate ahead of time
答案:D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分). In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits”可知美国的著名大学允许优秀的学生提前毕业。故选D。
7.According to the passage, we can infer that ________.
A.the author is a professor of a famous university
B.the author thinks th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e cost of a university education is too high for people to afford
C.the author consi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ders the university education quality very important
D.the author pays s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pecial attention to the all-round development of college students
答案:C 推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段可知作者认为大学的资格教育很重要。故选C。
8.Which of the following can be the best title
A.It' s time to shorten the learning process
B.Best learning takes place over time
C.University education should be watered down
D.College education calls for reform
答案:B 主旨大意题。A“到了缩短学习程 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )序的时候了”;B“最好的学习需要时间保证”;C“大学教育需要稀释”;D“大学教育需要改革”。通读全文,并根据文章的最后一段可知作者认为大学的知识和技能需要时间的“发酵”。故选B。
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。
(2015·山西省高三第三次四校联考)
It's normal to wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ke briefly during the night. __1__ But if you're waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep, the following tips may help.
Stay out of your h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ead. The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position. Hard as it may be, try not to stress over the fact that you're awake, because that very stress and anxiety encourage your body to stay awake. __2__
__3__ If you are fi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization(想象), or deep breathing, which can be done without even getting out of bed. Remind yourself that although they're not a replacement for sleep, rest and relaxation still help refresh your body.
Do a quiet, no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n-stimulating activity.
