第二节 阅读理解（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 ，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Most episodes（情况）of absent- mindedness- forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room-are caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter．"You're supposed to remember something, but you haven't encoded （译成密码）it deeply."
Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact（影响）on recalling it later．Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations．If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don't pay attention to what you did because you're involved in a conversation, you'll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe（衣柜）．"Your memory itself isn't failing you,"says Schacter."Rather, you didn't give your memory system the information it needed."
Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness."A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,"says Zelinski,"may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox."Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory depends on just that．
"Visual cues can help prevent absent -mindedness",says Schacter."But be sure the cue is clear and available,"he cautions．If you want to remember to take a medication（药物）with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table-don't leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket．
Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you're there．Most likely, you were thinking about something else．"Everyone does this from time to time,"says Zelinski．The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you'll likely remember．
21．We can learn from the passage that encoding ________．
A．slows down the process of losing our memories
B．helps us understand our memory system better
C．gets us to recall something from our memories
D．helps us to find out the mobile phone in the pocket
22．Why do women have better memories than men
A．They seldom use their mobile phones．
B．They are more nervous about the environment．
C．They are more interested in what's happening around them．
D．They usually take some special medicine to improve memories．
23．The sentence underlined in Paragraph 4 means that ___________．
A．a note in the pocket will easily get lost
B．putting something in sight can be a good reminder
C．taking medicine can get rid of absent-mindedness
D．people of absent-mindedness must take medicine with them
24．What is the passage mainly about
A．The causes of absent-mindedness．
B．The environment and memory．
C．A way of encoding and recalling．
D．The process of gradual memory loss．
Ever since Grumpy Cat first appeared online, the Internet can’t get enough of her．But attention is not the only thing that this cat is getting．Her fortune is estimated at $ 100 million, more than many famous actors and musicians earn．
So how did it all start
Grumpy Cat’s owner Tabatha Bundesen was working as a waitress when her brother Bryan decided to take a photo of her funny-looking cat and post it on Reddit, the social-news site．In a matter of hours, she became a sensation(轰动)．
It got 1 million views on Imgur in 48 hours．
Grumpy Cat’s real name is Tardar Sauce and she actually has a condition called dwarfism, which makes her constantly frowning．But that unique frown turned out to be worth millions of dollars．
Tabatha, who lives in Arizona in US, isn’t complaining．She still remembers that September 22, 2012, when her life turned upside down．
Since her cat became a worldwide phenomenon, she was able to quit her job and devote her life to managing her cat’s modeling career．Sounds unbelievable, but it’s true．She says that her only job now is to book Tardar’s photo shoots, commercials(商业广告), and other appearances．
What are the other benefits of owning a million-dollar cat
Apart from not having to work, Tabatha can travel all the time．She has time and money to visit her family more often and enjoy her life．She never could have imagined just how huge her cat would become, but she always knew Tardar was very special．And she is glad to see her cat bringing joy to so many people around the world．
As for the millions of dollars Grumpy has earned, they come from all the products, commercials and a best-selling book．She even has her own movie—Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever．
25．What does the underlined part “the Internet can’t get enough of her’ mean
A．The Internet can’t stand her any more．
B．The Internet can’t pay more attention to her．
C．People don’t focus on her any longer on the Internet．
D．The Internet can’t find enough information about her．
26．What made Grumpy Cat become famous
A．Her unusual appearance．
B．Her bad temper．
C．Her short and fat body．

A．she now works as a waitress．
B．she feels very tired of her famous cat．
C．she only manages her cat’s modeling career．
D．she is too busy to go home to visit her parents

She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots. ” Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture. ” she says.
“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom, ” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children. ”But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce plete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12. ”
The popularity if au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.

Five Things You Should Know About Adult Asthma (哮喘)
About 44 million people in Asia Pacific suffer from asthma. The numbers are on the rise especially in China and India where there is rapid industrialization and urbanization. Dr Mariko Koh, Director of the Pulmonary Function Laboratory and Asthma Programme at Singapore General Hospital, tells us more about adult asthma:
1. Chronic inflammation (炎症) of the airways
When the airways are inflamed, mucus (粘液) forms, blocking airflow, causing breathlessness, wheezing (喘息) and tightness in the chest.
2. Common triggers
Exposure to allergens (过敏原) such as mites, cockroaches, pets and pollen can trigger asthma. Tobacco smoke, respiratory infections, exercise and some medications like aspirin and beta blockers are also possible triggers.
Effective treatment
Asthma can be controlled with medication. The main treatment of asthma is inhaled (吸入) corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and block of the airways. Reliever medications may be used to treat acute symptoms. Take note: it is not too late to take medication after an asthma attack.
4. Take medication daily
To ensure good control over asthma, medication must be taken daily on a long term basis to prevent attacks. Also, go to your doctor for regular checkups.
5. Quality of life
Asthma sufferers can lead normal active lives as long as the symptoms are well controlled. Taking medication as directed and avoiding triggers can make a big difference to the quality of life.
32． All of the following are possible factors causing asthma except _________.
A. aspirin B. pollen
C. polluted air D. tobacco

With the summer holiday just around the corner, it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations. Here are some tips that can help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket:
Travel off-season
Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts. During the peak season, the hotel and flight prices increase quickly, and you’ll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists. 36．
37． .
Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms. Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding. Stay with the locals. If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period, renting a small apartment is a good choice.
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new 38． During your family trip, try new food where the locals eat. This will not just save money, but also provide you with a new and different experience. For smaller meals and snacks, avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout.
Don’t hesitate to bargain
Tourist- heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything. Clothes, travel goodies, souvenirs, etc. are very expensive at these places. 39． Bargain hard to get the best price.
Choose local transportation
40． Instead, take buses, railways or subways, which are always cheaper. If you are planning to stay for a while, you can consider renting a car. Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot.
A. Save on hotels.
B. Surf the Internet while traveling.
C. Therefore, avoid buying anything there.
D. So it’s best to find out when the off-season starts.
E. Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs.
F. For this reason, you shouldn’t feel ashamed to ask for bargains.
G .As a tourist, avoid taking taxis whenever possible, since they are expensive.

There is no easy way to success 43． language learning. 44． good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only 45． (memorize) rules from a grammar book.

试题分析: 本文主要介绍了人们的健忘行为。人们的健忘主要是由于注意力的缺失，也就是本应该记住的东西没有被“编码”进入大脑，或者说没有把信息适当地输入记忆系统造成的。此外缺少兴趣也是导致注意力缺失的原因。在文中作者还提出了一些应对措施。
21．C细节理解题。根据文章第二段 Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact（影响）on recalling it later.可知“编码”的作用是让人们能过后回忆起来，选C。
22．C细节理解题。文章第三段提到缺乏兴趣也会造成健忘的情况，根据Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment,可知答案选C。
23．B推理判断题。根据文章第四段"Visual cues can help prevent absent -mindedness"可知“视觉提示物”可以帮助对付健忘问题，但是这些提示物要清晰可见，同时要伸手可及，由此判断选B。
24．A主旨大意题。文章首段通过两个健忘的例子引出信息编码失败会导致健忘，然后在下文又提出健忘的另一个原因：缺少兴趣，最后两段提出了对付健忘的建议。由此判断选A。

试题分析：文章给我们讲述了想完全掌握一门外语需要做的四件事。
41．it.考查代词。此处指代the language是单数，指“听到它（语言）被说”，故填it.

45．to memorize.考查不定式。句中it是形式主语，不定式to memorize做真正主语，故填to memorize.
46．their.考查代词。此处指代lists of words是复数，指“它们的含义”用物主代词their，故填their.
47．If.考查连词。句意：如果我们仅满足于记住的几条规则，我们就没有真正地学语言。此处表示条件关系，故用If引导条件状语从句。
48．advice.考查名词。此处由a good piece of修饰，后面用名词指“一条好的建议”，故用advise的名词形式advice.
49．who.考查关系代词。此处是定语从句，先行词是those指人，且在定语从句中做主语，故用关系代词who引导。
50．writing.考查动词形式。动词practice后加动词的-ing形式，此处和speaking并列，故填writing.

It is unwise to give the children whatever they want.
这类形容词有：easy, difficult, hard, important, possible，wise等。比如第65小题，句中it是形式主语，不定式to memorize做真正主语，故填to memorize.
6. It + be + 形容词 + of sb. + 动词不定式，这类形容词常是表示心理品质,性格特征的形容词，如：kind, nice stupid, clever, foolish, polite, impolite, silly, selfish, considerate等。某人和这些形容词可以构成主系表结构。如：

【小题1】achieve改为achieving
【小题2】toughly改为tough
【小题3】Senior前加 a
【小题4】that改为what
【小题5】anxious改为anxiety
【小题6】去掉from
【小题7】Besides改为However
【小题8】has改为is
【小题9】challenged改为challenging
【小题10】said改为says
【解析】
【小题1】achieve改为achieving；固定用法：be on the way to doing。这里的to是介词，后面应该用动名词形式。故将achieve改为achieving。
【小题2】toughly改为tough；考查形容词修饰系动词。is是系动词，应该用形容词来修饰，toughly是副词。故将toughly改为tough。
【小题3】Senior前加 a；考查冠词。student是可数名词。故在Senior前加 a。
【小题4】把equip myself with 后的that改为what；考查宾语从句。with是介词，后面应该接宾语，that不能引导宾语从句。故把equip myself with 后的that改为what。
【小题5】anxious改为anxiety；这一句的主语是anxious and pressure，但是anxious是形容词，不能做主语，故将anxious改为anxiety。
【小题6】去掉from；固定用法。discourage 是及物动词，后面直接接名词。故去掉from。
【小题7】Besides改为However；前一句句意;紧张和压力有时候确实会让我泄气。后一句句意：在老师和同学的鼓励下，我认为我可以成功。两句没有明显的并列关系，而是转折的关系，故将Besides改为However。
【小题8】has改为is；固定句型：there be 句型。故将has改为is。
【小题9】challenged改为challenging；考查challenge的形容词词意。challenged受到挑战的；challenging具有挑战性的。而文中句意，根据上下文，应该是无论它有多具有挑战力…故将challenged改为challenging。
【小题10】said改为says；常规用法。名言、谚语、俗语等是客观存在的，应该用一般现在时来表达，故将said改为says。

短文改错答题技巧
一、高考英语改错题的常见错误类型
1、谓语动词的时态和语态
2、句子结构和句子完整性
3、名词单复数及主谓一致问题
4、上下文语意和代词
5、介词 固定搭配
6、固定（习惯）用法
7、形容词和副词是否误用及其比较等级是否正确；
8、冠词。取舍与选择是否正确
9、连词和从句引导词
10、非谓语动词的形式是否正确
二、命题趋势
词法错误、句法错误和行文逻辑
1. 一致关系：包括主谓一致、时态一致、代词指代一致等。
2.平行结构：包括动词与动词相配，形容词与形容词相配，分词与分词相配，不定式与不定式相配等。常由并列连词或词组连接。如：and， or ， but，neither…nor…, as well as 等.
例如第7题，前一句句意;紧张和压力有时候确实会让我泄气。后一句句意：在老师和同学的鼓励下，我认为我可以成功。两句没有明显的并列关系，而是转折的关系，故将Besides改为However。
3. 非谓语动词的用法：如to的省略，过去分词与现在分词的误用等。
4．多余词或者缺词：常常是介词、副词等的多余或缺少。
例如第3题，student是可数名词，但是在文章中既没有用复数形式，也没有冠词，因此可以知道这里缺冠词。故在Senior前加 a。
5．词性的混用。
6．行文逻辑判断等
三、注意事项：
（一）改前通读全文, 切忌拿来就改，这一步很关键。这一步的目标是了解短文的中心意思，把握全篇的时态、人称及行文逻辑。记叙文强调时间、地点、人物和事件四要素，在通读全文理解全文的同时把一些比较容易的或是明显的错误先改好
（二）分句阅读，逐行找错。在纠错时要仔细地读懂每一个句子，这时就要对文中的词法、句法和语篇（详见考查要点）角度着重分析和特别注意。把涉及 到以上错误类型的词多斟酌一下。
（三）做将答案放回原文,再重读全文。其目的主要是查看有无不符合逻辑,语句不通畅,不符合英语习惯的问题。

Dear fellow students,
It's my great honor to be invited here to give a speech. The topic of my speech today is “Time and tide wait for no man”.
In my understanding, the proverb means that if we allow the invaluable time to waste, it never comes back to you. As a Senior Three student, time is limited for study, so none can afford to waste time.
I still remember I slipped away the golden time in playing two years ago, as a consequence of which I fell far behind others. Realizing that opportunity seldom knocks twice, I seized every moment to study. Gradually I made great progress and was awarded the honorable title of “Star of Progress”.
Dear fellows, with Gaokao drawing near, we should not be content with what we have done. Value your time from now on and it will bring you benefits.
That’s all.Thank you!

A
Most episodes（情况）of absent- mindedness- forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room-are caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter．"You're supposed to remember something, but you haven't encoded （译成密码）it deeply."
Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact（影响）on recalling it later．Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations．If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don't pay attention to what you did because you're involved in a conversation, you'll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe（衣柜）．"Your memory itself isn't failing you,"says Schacter."Rather, you didn't give your memory system the information it needed."
Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness."A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,"says Zelinski,"may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox."Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory depends on just that．
"Visual cues can help prevent absent -mindedness",says Schacter."But be sure the cue is clear and available,"he cautions．If you want to remember to take a medication（药物）with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table-don't leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket．
Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you're there．Most likely, you were thinking about something else．"Everyone does this from time to time,"says Zelinski．The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you'll likely remember．
21．We can learn from the passage that encoding ________．
A．slows down the process of losing our memories
B．helps us understand our memory system better
C．gets us to recall something from our memories
D．helps us to find out the mobile phone in the pocket
22．Why do women have better memories than men
A．They seldom use their mobile phones．
B．They are more nervous about the environment．
C．They are more interested in what's happening around them．
D．They usually take some special medicine to improve memories．
23．The sentence underlined in Paragraph 4 means that ___________．
A．a note in the pocket will easily get lost
B．putting something in sight can be a good reminder
C．taking medicine can get rid of absent-mindedness
D．people of absent-mindedness must take medicine with them
24．What is the passage mainly about
A．The causes of absent-mindedness．
B．The environment and memory．
C．A way of encoding and recalling．
D．The process of gradual memory loss．
Ever since Grumpy Cat first appeared online, the Internet can’t get enough of her．But attention is not the only thing that this cat is getting．Her fortune is estimated at $ 100 million, more than many famous actors and musicians earn．
So how did it all start
Grumpy Cat’s owner Tabatha Bundesen was working as a waitress when her brother Bryan decided to take a photo of her funny-looking cat and post it on Reddit, the social-news site．In a matter of hours, she became a sensation(轰动)．
It got 1 million views on Imgur in 48 hours．
Grumpy Cat’s real name is Tardar Sauce and she actually has a condition called dwarfism, which makes her constantly frowning．But that unique frown turned out to be worth millions of dollars．
Tabatha, who lives in Arizona in US, isn’t complaining．She still remembers that September 22, 2012, when her life turned upside down．
Since her cat became a worldwide phenomenon, she was able to quit her job and devote her life to managing her cat’s modeling career．Sounds unbelievable, but it’s true．She says that her only job now is to book Tardar’s photo shoots, commercials(商业广告), and other appearances．
What are the other benefits of owning a million-dollar cat
Apart from not having to work, Tabatha can travel all the time．She has time and money to visit her family more often and enjoy her life．She never could have imagined just how huge her cat would become, but she always knew Tardar was very special．And she is glad to see her cat bringing joy to so many people around the world．
As for the millions of dollars Grumpy has earned, they come from all the products, commercials and a best-selling book．She even has her own movie—Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever．
25．What does the underlined part “the Internet can’t get enough of her’ mean
A．The Internet can’t stand her any more．
B．The Internet can’t pay more attention to her．
C．People don’t focus on her any longer on the Internet．
D．The Internet can’t find enough information about her．
26．What made Grumpy Cat become famous
A．Her unusual appearance．
B．Her bad temper．
C．Her short and fat body．
D．Her unique fur．
27．About Tabatha Bundesen, we know that____________．
A．she now works as a waitress．
B．she feels very tired of her famous cat．
C．she only manages her cat’s modeling career．
D．she is too busy to go home to visit her parents
28．The general idea of the last paragraph is_____________．
A．how the cat can become so famous．
B．how the cat can make so much money．
C．what the film about the cat is named
D．how the cat’s owner spend so much money

Five Things You Should Know About Adult Asthma (哮喘)
About 44 million people in Asia Pacific suffer from asthma. The numbers are on the rise especially in China and India where there is rapid industrialization and urbanization. Dr Mariko Koh, Director of the Pulmonary Function Laboratory and Asthma Programme at Singapore General Hospital, tells us more about adult asthma:
1. Chronic inflammation (炎症) of the airways
When the airways are inflamed, mucus (粘液) forms, blocking airflow, causing breathlessness, wheezing (喘息) and tightness in the chest.
2. Common triggers
Exposure to allergens (过敏原) such as mites, cockroaches, pets and pollen can trigger asthma. Tobacco smoke, respiratory infections, exercise and some medications like aspirin and beta blockers are also possible triggers.
Effective treatment
Asthma can be controlled with medication. The main treatment of asthma is inhaled (吸入) corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and block of the airways. Reliever medications may be used to treat acute symptoms. Take note: it is not too late to take medication after an asthma attack.
4. Take medication daily
To ensure good control over asthma, medication must be taken daily on a long term basis to prevent attacks. Also, go to your doctor for regular checkups.
5. Quality of life
Asthma sufferers can lead normal active lives as long as the symptoms are well controlled. Taking medication as directed and avoiding triggers can make a big difference to the quality of life.

With the summer holiday just around the corner, it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations. Here are some tips that can help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket:
Travel off-season
Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts. During the peak season, the hotel and flight prices increase quickly, and you’ll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists. 36．
37． .
Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms. Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding. Stay with the locals. If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period, renting a small apartment is a good choice.
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new 38． During your family trip, try new food where the locals eat. This will not just save money, but also provide you with a new and different experience. For smaller meals and snacks, avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout.
Don’t hesitate to bargain
Tourist- heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything. Clothes, travel goodies, souvenirs, etc. are very expensive at these places. 39． Bargain hard to get the best price.
Choose local transportation
40． Instead, take buses, railways or subways, which are always cheaper. If you are planning to stay for a while, you can consider renting a car. Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot.
A. Save on hotels.
B. Surf the Internet while traveling.
C. Therefore, avoid buying anything there.
D. So it’s best to find out when the off-season starts.
E. Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs.
F. For this reason, you shouldn’t feel ashamed to ask for bargains.

例如第3题，student是可数名词，但是在文章中既没有用复数形式，也没有冠词，因此可以知道这里缺冠词。故在Senior前加 a。
5．词性的混用。
6．行文逻辑判断等
三、注意事项：
（一）改前通读全文, 切忌拿来就改，这一步很关键。这一步的目标是了解短文的中心意思，把握全篇的时态、人称及行文逻辑。记叙文强调时间、地点、人物和事件四要素，在通读全文理解全文的同时把一些比较容易的或是明显的错误先改好
（二）分句阅读，逐行找错。在纠错时要仔细地读懂每一个句子，这时就要对文中的词法、句法和语篇（详见考查要点）角度着重分析和特别注意。把涉及 到以上错误类型的词多斟酌一下。
（三）做将答案放回原文,再重读全文。其目的主要是查看有无不符合逻辑,语句不通畅,不符合英语习惯的问题。

Dear fellow students,
It's my great honor to be invited here to give a speech. The topic of my speech today is “Time and tide wait for no man”.
In my understanding, the proverb means that if we allow the invaluable time to waste, it never comes back to you. As a Senior Three student, time is limited for study, so none can afford to waste time.
I still remember I slipped away the golden time in playing two years ago, as a consequence of which I fell far behind others. Realizing that opportunity seldom knocks twice, I seized every moment to study. Gradually I made great progress and was awarded the honorable title of “Star of Progress”.
Dear fellows, with Gaokao drawing near, we should not be content with what we have done. Value your time from now on and it will bring you benefits.
That’s all.Thank you!
