Ⅰ.阅读理解
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。
(2017·潍坊模拟)One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the“Children’s Room.”The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. But one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical(相同的)to my dog. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
Years later, my mother was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
1. Why did the author’s mother order him to borrow a book?
A. Because she wanted to cure his problem.
B. Because the author was a lazy student.
C. Because the public library was near.
D. Because borrowing books was cheaper.
2. What can we learn about the author’s dog?
A. It was one of his favorite pets.
B. It was secretly stolen from him.
C. It was adopted by someone else.
D. Its name was Amos.
3. What was the fun_ction of the book the author borrowed from the library?
A. It reminded him of his childhood.
B. It opened a door to his reading.
C. It proved his mother was wrong.
D. It improved his imagination.
4. Which one could be the best title of the passage?
A. Mum’s Strict Order B. The Charm of a Book
C. Reunion with My Beagle D. My Passion for Reading
答案 1－4 ACBB
Ⅱ.阅读填空
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。
(2017·衡水模拟)Having a hobby can greatly enrich a teenager’s life. However, many teens are unwilling to try a hobby. Here are some tips on how to help your teen explore his or her interests.
__1__ A hobby is a lifelong interest that a person takes up for pleasure. No one can “assign(指派)” a person a hobby, as it’s a deeply personal thing. You can encourage a hobby, but it’s absolutely up to the teen.
Look for opportunities you think he or she might like. A good time for this is the beginning of a new school year or the summer holidays. __2__ At schools, there’s usually a system where teens are exposed to and encouraged to try out various interests.
Bring up ideas for interests, gently. Parents are the first people to spot opportunities for fun activities. __3__Mention possible enjoyable activities, but three times is generally enough. If your child does not want to do a hobby, respect it.
Be supportive of hobbies. It would be terrible to convince him or her to do something and then be too busy to help him or her enjoy it. Always be proud of what your teen accomplishes. If you know a lot about the hobby, offer some advice if asked. __4__
Do not force your teen. If you attempt to force your teen to try something, it’s unlikely to end well. __5__ Then stress that you’d really like him/her to continue, but the decision is not yours to make.
A. But avoid “taking over” a project.
B. Encouragement plays an important role.
C. But teenagers dislike being pushed into things.
D. He or she might be too stressed to accomplish it.
E. Hobbies are not something one is required to do.
F. If you are desperate, have your teen try something for just a week.
G. These are all times that various organizations and clubs are starting up.
答案与解析
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。主要内容是给家长一些培养孩子爱好方面的建议。

5. 答案 F
解析 F项意为“如果你很迫切(想让孩子尝试一个爱好)，让孩子尝试一星期。”空后句意“然后向他强调你确实很想让他继续，但仍要让他自己做决定。”

答案与解析
【文章大意】 本文讲述了一个小男孩帮助蝴蝶化茧成蝶飞走，结果导致蝴蝶无力飞翔摔死的故事。这个故事说明的道理是家长们把孩子保护得太好是不正确的，孩子们需要在一些逆境中自己成长、奋斗才会更加优秀。

解析 考查名词。由下文可知，本文讲了一个小故事。
2. 答案 D
解析 考查动词。原文意思是保护孩子不受任何伤害，会使孩子变得软弱无能。

14. 答案 C
解析 考查动词。文中表达的是孩子们的所有经历能够帮助他们在生活的跌宕起伏中生存下来。
15. 答案 A
解析 考查动词。文中的前半句用的是否定，所以家长不应该增加对孩子的训斥和责备。
16. 答案 C
解析 考查动词短语。pretend“假装”；happen“偶然发生”；tend“易于；有……的倾向”；seem“似乎”。这里的意思是Mothers tend to say“妈妈经常说”。
17. 答案 B
解析 考查形容词。由语境可知Stop crying and acting like a spoiled boy. You can’t always get what you want.这些话语都是消极的，应该避免。
18. 答案 A

20. 答案 B

What to Do This Summer Vocation?
After the long run of 12 years of studying hard, we Senior 3 students deserve to have a colorful and exciting summer vocation. Now we are completely free from schoolwork, and we can do whatever we like out of our own choice. Some students say after the College Entrance Examination, they long for a trip to get close to nature, for the blue sky and beautiful scenery will really relax their mind. Some students prefer to stay at home rather than go anywhere. They want to watch their favorite matches and cheer for their idols. However, some students have more practical goals. A certain number of them will find a part-time job this summer to get some social experience and earn some pocket money. Even a good many students would like to go to the driving schools, making full use of the three months to get a driving license.
As far as I’m concerned, I will pay a visit to Beijing with my classmates first. Then I will stay at home helping my cousin with his math and waiting for the admission of my favourite university.

(2017·新余模拟)Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize.
Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns.
Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize, twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the cherry on top of Munro’s career. “It brings this incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication to the short story，” said one person.
Along with the well-respected title comes 1.3 million dollars. Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way.”
Munro knew she was in the running — she was named the second-most likely person to win this year’s prize, after Haruki Murakami (村上春树)of Japan — but she never thought that she would win.
Munro’s win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come. “When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world. Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe，” Munro said on Thursday.
She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is. In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize. Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer.
“This is a win for us all. Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic，” said Geoffrey Taylor. “But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag.”
She wasn’t sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang. But this may change my mind.”
4. What is the feature of Munro’s stories?
A. They have their own complicated (复杂的)contents.
B. They have similar story backgrounds.
C. They have specific themes for children.
D. They have the same characters in each book.
5. For Munro, the Nobel Prize is an award for ________．
A. her love for Canadian culture
B. her devotion to the short story
C. her special form of writing
D. her career of editing short stories
6. What is implied in the sixth paragraph?
A. Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize.
B. Canadian writers are just a small community.
C. Canadian writers have long been ignored.
D. Canadians have a long way to win the prize.
7. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize
B. An introduction to the Nobel Prize in Literature

(2016·课标全国Ⅰ)The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
8. What does the author say about silence in conversations?
A. It implies anger. B. It promotes friendship.
C. It is culture-specific. D. It is content-based.
9. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?
A. The Chinese. B. The French.
C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.
10. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?
A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate its harm to patients.
D. Make use of its healing effects.
11. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Sound and Silence
B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans
D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
答案与解析
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文，论述了沉默的不同含义及对待沉默的不同方式。
8. 答案 C
解析 推理判断题。由第一段的内容可知，沉默在不同的文化群体中有不同的含义，这是由文化特异性造成的不同，故C项正确。
9. 答案 A
解析 细节理解题。由第二段的内容可知，美国、中国和泰国人认为沉默是与人交流的一部分，沉默就是让倾听的人好好想想所说的内容，这是一种a call for reflection，故选A项。
10. 答案 D
解析 推理判断题。由第四段的内容可知，当病人出现沉默的时候，护士们既不能过早地打断沉默也不能毫无必要地听任沉默继续下去，而应当根据治疗效果区别对待，故选D项。
11. 答案 B

(原创)Suffering from malnutrition(营养不良), Regelyn often felt tired and sometimes didn’t want to attend school. Some classmates even laughed at her because of her extremely thin frame.
With a limited income selling boiled corn, Regelyn’s parents had difficulty providing food for her and her four sisters and brothers. Thanks to the healthy meals she received through the nutrition program, Regelyn returned to a normal weight.
When she was 10 years old, she graduated from the Children International nutrition improvement program. “I feel very happy because now I am strong ...” reports a now-healthy teenaged Regelyn.
Regelyn’s mother, Arlenda, received nutrition education on planning a balanced diet and cooking simple but nutritious meals. While the family may still struggle to afford decent(相当好的)food, Arlenda hopes she can better use the family’s income to provide enough healthy food. “We are not asking for delicious meals every day, but just nutritious food enough to feed all seven of us three times a day，” Arlenda explained.
Regelyn and her family are not alone. Around the world, countless families continue to feel the pain of hunger. Regular financial contributions to Children International help offer money to important programs that give children like Regelyn chances to have the basic essentials of life — essentials they might never have if there are no such programs.
1. Regelyn used to be tired because ________．
A. she had to work to support her family
B. she was seriously ill
C. she was weak because of malnutrition
D. she didn’t want to go to school

答案与解析
【文章大意】 Regelyn是一个因家庭贫穷而营养不良的孩子，在儿童国际营养项目的帮助下身体得以恢复，世界上还有很多被饥饿所困的家庭，本文呼吁人们通过儿童国际给这些家庭提供帮助。
1. 答案 C

3. 答案 B
解析 从第四段第二句话While the family may still struggle to afford decent(相当好的) food...可知B项正确。
4. 答案 A
解析 从全文可知，因为营养不良导致Regelyn不能正常上学，儿童国际救助组织的资助使得Regelyn及更多的人身体恢复健康，能够正常上学，所以A选项最佳。

Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. __5__ Instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
A. You didn’t lose “everything”．

答案与解析
【文章大意】 本文为记叙文。本文作者主要讲述了自己家的圣诞传统以及在这个家庭圣诞传统中女儿所表现出来的对自己的爱。
1. 答案 C
解析 根据语境及空后的will last a lifetime可知，memory“记忆”符合语境，表示传统能够创造持续一生的记忆。
2. 答案 D
解析 此处指我们创建了一个家庭圣诞传统。set up“安排；创建；设立”。
3. 答案 A
解析 根据下文中的It smelled so good和常识可知，此处指把刚砍掉(cut)的树拖进屋里，因为刚砍下的树会散发出好闻的树木香味。
4. 答案 B
解析 根据语境及下文中的the merriment of the Christmas songs和When finished可以看出，这里是指我们在开始装扮圣诞树之前会先播放圣诞歌曲。故用before引导时间状语从句，表示“在……之前”。
5. 答案 D
解析 根据语境可知，此处指我们的心似乎随着圣诞歌曲的欢乐舞动起来。dance to“和/随着……舞动”是固定搭配，其余选项不符合题意。
6. 答案 C
解析 根据语境可知，此处指孩子们的眼中闪烁着喜悦(delight)的光芒。
7. 答案 A
解析 此处指女儿放假归来，主动提出(offered)帮助装饰圣诞树。
8. 答案 D
解析 文章上一句提到女儿主动提出帮助装饰圣诞树，这保持了家庭圣诞传统，母亲对女儿应该是心存感激的。grateful“感激的；感谢的”。
9. 答案 C
解析 根据语境并结合上文中的It smelled so good可知，此处指圣诞树发出的宜人的(pleasant)气味充满了房间。
10. 答案 D
解析 根据语境，此处指如同往年，作者拿出了蛋奶酒和饼干来庆祝(celebration)传统节日。
11. 答案 C
解析 根据下文的内容可知，此处指在大家的欢声笑语中，女儿突然变得很严肃(serious)。
12. 答案 A
解析 根据下文可知，女儿实际上不喜欢作者准备的饼干，再结合前文中的“hesitation”“body”可知，此处应是指作者从女儿的犹豫和肢体语言中知道，女儿在害怕(fearing)将要说的事情。
13. 答案 B
解析 参见上题解析。
14. 答案 D
解析 根据上文中提到的女儿的犹豫和害怕及后文中的“caringly”可知，女儿害怕伤害到妈妈，只能小心翼翼地道出实情。故gently“温和地；和缓地”符合语境。
15. 答案 C
解析 根据下文中的she had stood the cookies可知，女儿从来不(never)喜欢这种饼干。
16. 答案 B
解析 根据语境可知，此处指的应是作者意识到(realized)了女儿刚刚所说的话的重要性。
17. 答案 B
解析 根据上文女儿道出实情前的犹豫以及下文的she had stood the cookies可知，女儿忍受这种饼干是为了不伤害(hurt)母亲的感情。
18. 答案 A
解析 此处指女儿多年来都在默默地(silently)忍受着自己不喜欢的饼干。
19. 答案 C
解析 根据语境可知，女儿虽然不喜欢吃这种饼干，但是懂得体谅母亲，这是出于对母亲的爱。故此处指女儿给了作者爱的礼物。
20. 答案 D
解析 根据下文中的The best gifts aren’t always found under the Christmas tree可知lesson“经验；教训”符合语境。

David gave a big smile and said, “What a pity！”
If the cheater thought he could get money from David in such a(n) __8__ (honest)way, he was wrong. Such phone calls are common these days. A few of them might have fallen victims to such tricks. Most parents are sensitive to __9__. It was really silly to cheat well－educated men like David.

【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。电话诈骗现象现在屡见不鲜，David就遇到过一次。
1. 答案 was eating
解析 考查动词的时态。句意：他正在家里吃东西，这时他接到一个从一家医院打来的电话。“be doing...when...”是固定句型，意为“正在做……这时……”。
2. 答案 had fallen
解析 考查动词的时态。因为从句谓语动词fall发生在主句谓语动词said之前，表示“过去的过去”，应用过去完成时。
3. 答案 who/that
解析 考查强调句型。句意：就是他把他送到医院的。强调句的基本结构为“it is/was＋被强调成分＋that＋其余部分”。如果被强调部分是人时，可以用who替换that。
4. 答案 relieved
解析 考查词性转换。句意：他突然意识到自己被骗了，但是他感到如释重负。felt在本句中是系动词，其后应用形容词，故填relieved。
5. 答案 an
解析 考查冠词。分析句子结构和句子大意可知，此处泛指“一个手术”，故填an。
6. 答案 on
解析 考查介词。operate on sb.意为“给……做手术”。
7. 答案 asked
解析 考查省略句。本句为省略句。在以if，when，though，as if等连词引导的从句中，如果主从句主语一致，且从句中有be动词时，常将从句中的主语和be动词省略。根据这一原则可知，从句省略了“the caller was”。由于动词ask与其主语the caller之间是被动关系，故填asked。
8. 答案 dishonest
解析 考查形容词。根据上段可知，打电话的人想骗David的钱。因此填dishonest。
9. 答案 them
解析 考查代词。be sensitive to意为“对……敏感”。由此结合上句可知，空格处缺少宾语them。
10. 答案 colleagues
解析 考查名词复数。根据句中．.. such as Tom, Peter and so on可知，本句说的是好几个同事，应用复数。
