Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading—Pre-reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Have you ever been on a student exchange? How useful was it? We asked three people for their opinions.
Ellen
I spent 8 days in Stuttgart (Germany) when I was studying for my A levels. I went to school with my exchange partner every day, and spent the evenings with her family. It was great because I had to speak German all the time. However, the most useful thing was that I was focusing more on communicating with the language, rather than speaking perfectly correct German. It also made me more confident because people could understand what I was talking about. I'd certainly recommend (推荐) it to other students studying languages.
Frank
I went on an exchange with my class for a week in Madrid (Spain). Before the exchange, I thought my understanding of grammar was pretty good, but I struggled with listening and speaking. So, it was good to be in a place where I had no choice but to use my language skills. It also helped me learn the kind of Spanish that people use when they're speaking, rather than the language from books. If I had the opportunity, I'd certainly take part in another language exchange.
Alice
I took part in a French exchange. It lasted one week and I stayed with my exchange family in a small town just outside Paris. I'm quite a shy person, so the first few days were a bit frightening, but then it was fine. I love French and my level has always been good. But the exchange really helped develop my speaking skills, and made me a much more confident person. It felt great to be able to talk with native French people. I also found that everyone who took part in the exchange did a lot better in their end-of-year exams. I would certainly recommend an exchange.
【文章大意】 本文是记叙文。文章介绍了三个人去国外当交换生学习语言的经历及感受。
1．What impressed Frank most during his exchange?
A．Local culture. B．Grammar rules.
C．Natural Spanish. D．New language skills.
解析：C 细节理解题。根据Frank中的It also helped me learn the kind of Spanish that people use when they're speaking, rather than the language from books可知，弗兰克在西班牙的交换生经历让他学到了地道的西班牙语。
2．What did Alice think about her exchange?
A．It mainly developed her listening skills.
B．It improved her confidence.
C．It taught her exam skills.
D．It was time-consuming.
解析：B 细节理解题。根据Alice中的made me a much more confident person可知，爱丽丝在法国的交换生经历帮助她提高了自信。
3．All three people would most likely describe their exchanges as ________.
A．tiring B．exciting
C．boring D．helpful
解析：D 推理判断题。根据Ellen中的I'd certainly recommend it to other students studying languages. Frank中的If I had the opportunity, I'd certainly take part in another language exchange和Alice中的I would certainly recommend an exchange可知，三个人都认为他们的交换生经历是有益的。
B
My grandmother has lived alone for more than twenty-five years. “Why don't you and Craig come over for dinner？” she often asks. “I've made meatloaf (烘肉卷)．” “Sure, that sounds great！” I often say. And then I call my husband and ask him to stop at my grandmother's. Sometimes he has already passed her town, but there is no such thing as “driving out of the way” when it comes to her cooking.
I don't remember the first time when I ate the meatloaf, but I do remember that I was very young at the time. It's not something that I eat anywhere else. And I certainly don't order it at restaurants. As a rule, I don't even eat that much meat. It is the most delicious food that has ever entered my mouth. Best served when fresh from the oven, the first bite is always soft and tender. Maybe if I had her recipe, I could explain it more precisely.
Last July, my grandmother called to ask me what I wanted for my birthday. That was an easy enough question to answer. “I would like meatloaf！” I said. “I think I can do that，” she said. On my twenty-ninth birthday, my husband, my parents and I gathered around my grandmother's table. We ate slice after slice. Then she gave me some meatloaf to take home. I didn't want to share it with my husband, but I did. It was a great birthday.
This year was a big one. I turned thirty. “Let's go out for dinner，” my husband suggested. “Don't you want something special？” my mom asked. I wanted my grandmother's meatloaf. That would make it special. My grandmother went shopping for ground beef, potatoes, and a couple of heads of cabbage. And on the night of my birthday, we gathered at my parents' house for dinner. It was a fabulous dinner.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。祖母做的一份普通的烘肉卷承载了家人之间的爱。
4．What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?
A．Craig lives near my grandmother's house.
B．Craig rarely drives by my grandmother's house.
C．Craig loves my grandmother's cooking.
D．Craig likes dining out with his wife.
解析：C 推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句可知，作者的丈夫很爱吃祖母做的饭，因为即使他开车过了祖母所居住的小镇，也会掉头回去。
5．Why didn't the writer want to share the meatloaf with her husband?
A．Because it is not her husband's favorite food.
B．Because her husband had already eaten a lot.
C．Because it was so delicious that she couldn't get enough of it.
D．Because she didn't get along well with her husband.
解析：C 推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知，作者对祖母做的烘肉卷喜爱至极，所以她不愿和丈夫分享。
6．What can we know about the writer according to the passage?
A．She is really good at cooking.
B．She doesn't like going out for dinner.
C．She will have meatloaf on her next birthday.
D．She doesn't know how to cook meatloaf.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第二段的Maybe if I had her recipe, I could explain it more precisely. 可知，作者不会做烘肉卷。
7．What is the best title for the passage?
A．My Happy Family.
B．A Memorable Dinner.
C．My Twenty-ninth Birthday.
D．My Grandmother's Meatloaf.
解析：D 标题归纳题。作者通过叙述往事来表达对祖母做的烘肉卷的喜爱。
C
One Illinois father and his pre-teen son have made a very important agreement. Whenever the son is practicing to stand again after his brain injury left him in a wheelchair, the father will work on his health, too, by working out.
This week, Rick posted pictures online showing off their progress, saying: “He used to be in a coma (昏迷); I used to be a fat guy. Now we're both recovering.” Reece can now stand for up to 90 minutes at a time, and Rick has lost an impressive 70 pounds.
In May of 2008, when Reece was four, he was in a car accident that left him with a brain injury. He was put on life support, spending four months holed up in a hospital. The youngster has been working on his recovery ever since.
Reece had been making so much progress in his stander that his dad was inspired to make some progress of his own. That was two years ago when Rick realized he needed to lose weight.
Now, whenever Reece is in his stander, Rick is on the treadmill (脚踏车). The two work out about five times a week. Jennifer, Rick's wife, has even joined in too, resulting in a “pretty important lifestyle change” for the whole family. While Rick and Jennifer's hope for Reece is that he will one day be able to walk independently, Rick wants to run a half-marathon in the fall.
“Reece is a fighter and has such willpower and determination. It allows us to keep pushing him and keep raising the standard higher，” Rick said.
They also continue through setbacks, including when, two months ago, Reece underwent an 11-hour operation. The young kid even insisted that he didn't want to take pain medication, leaving his doctor in awe (敬畏之心)．
“At the end of the day, our goals for him are just to put him in the best position to achieve anything he puts his mind to，” Rick said. “If he's willing to do the work, we'll always be right beside him to support him.”
【文章大意】 本文是新闻报道。美国伊利诺斯州的一位父亲受到患病儿子积极进行康复训练的启发，开始和儿子一起锻炼，并成功减肥70磅。
8．What did the father and son agree on?
A．A lifestyle change.
B．Their recovery plan.
C．Posting photos regularly.
D．Exercising 90 minutes each day.
解析：B 细节理解题。首段第二句Whenever the son is practicing...by working out解释了第一句中agreement的内容。由此可知，父子俩在双方的康复计划上达成了一致意见。
9．Rick decided to lose weight ________.
A．in the year 2008
B．on his wife's advice
C．under the influence of his son
D．after running into health problems
解析：C 细节理解题。根据第四段Reece had been making so much progress...needed to lose weight可知，Rick在儿子的影响下决定开始减肥。
10．Why does Rick want to run a half-marathon?
A．To encourage his son.
B．To raise money for his son.
C．To set an example for other parents.
D．To show his energy after weight loss.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据Rick在倒数第三段中说的It allows us to keep pushing him and keep raising the standard higher可知，他想参加秋季半程马拉松比赛是为了鼓励儿子继续站立练习，最终能独立行走。
11．Which of the following words can best describe Reece?
A．Clever. B．Careful.
C．Kind-hearted. D．Strong-minded.
解析：D 推理判断题。根据文章介绍Reece的故事可知，自从他2008年因车祸而使脑部受到重创以来，这几年他一直在坚持站立的自我恢复。由此可知，Reece是一个有决心的孩子。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
I am a volunteer at Seattle Children's Hospital, the most friendly and comfortable place around for those who are recovering, sick, or dying between the ages of 0 to 18. My first day one-on-one with a patient arrived after hours of training and preparation. I shook slightly as the doctor handed me a small white piece of paper with patient information, telling me only about the name, age, and room number. The elevator ride to the floor seemed totally too fast. I walked through the long halls until I reached a door with the room number that matched (匹配) the one on my paper. I read the sign on the door: SCCA－Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
I entered my patient's room, and was greeted by a tired mother in great need of a break. And this sweet, excited little 6-year-old girl, who's smiling and showing willingness to play made me completely ignore her bald (秃) little head. My newfound friend was quite possibly the most normal 6-year-old girl I had ever met.
Time flew by, and it was easy to notice that we greatly enjoyed each other's being around. But, towards the end of my stay, she asked me if she could play with my hair. As I readily agreed, it hit me that she was not a common little girl. She was bald because of cancer, so she wondered what it was like to play with my hair. As she repeatedly tried to perfect the braids (辫子) in my hair, I realized that the warmth pouring from her heart could not be ignored. I felt proud that I could play a part in the lives of those lovable little children.
During the months that I spent in working one-on-one with the patients at Seattle Children's Hospital, I never met one who was unhappy to see me. They liked to play with me, sometimes putting the room in a mess. In fact, it has come to be that these children, the “little disasters，” brighten my day more than anyone else ever could.
【文章大意】 作者的志愿工作让她领悟到了志愿工作的重要性，即：志愿者在带给他人快乐的同时也被他人感染和激励。
1．How did the writer most probably feel before entering the patient's room?
A．Bored. B．Nervous.
C．Cheerful. D．Confident.
解析：B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的I shook slightly as the doctor handed me a little white piece of paper with patient information...及综合第一段的内容可知，作者在进入病房以前很紧张。
2．Why did the little girl want to play with the writer's hair?
A．She was very bored in the hospital.
B．She was very good at making braids.
C．She wanted the writer to remember her.
D．She was curious about hair because she was bald.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的She was bald because of cancer, so she wondered what it was like to play with my hair.可知，因为小女孩自己没有头发，所以她很好奇玩头发是什么感觉的。
3．The writer called these children little disasters because ________.
A．they were very naughty
B．they made her feel unhappy
C．they would die of cancer one day
D．they couldn't get along well with each other
解析：A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的They liked to play with me, sometimes putting the room in a mess.可知，因为这些小孩在和作者玩耍时会把房间弄乱，所以他们应该很淘气。
Ⅲ.完形填空
Whether it's Freshers' Week or exams week, a university nightline service can be a lifesaver. Nightlines are student listening services that open in the small hours (凌晨时分), __1__ student volunteers to run the service.

At around 11 or 12 pm, we'd climb into beds, __7__ with one person next to the __8__. The ringtone was loud so there was never any __9__ about sleeping through.

The majority of calls I answered were from __15__ who were either homesick or just wanting reassurance (安慰) walking home alone.
Since nightlines rely on their secrecy, __16__ must remain anonymous (匿名的), __17__ as few friends as possible about their role. As such, it can sometimes feel like __18__ work. But Tessa, 19, who has done night shifts totalling 250 hours for Exeter's Voice nightline, best sums up why we do it: “When callers __19__ the conversation saying they feel a little __20__， it makes all the waking up in the middle of the night and the missing out on social plans with friends seem worthwhile.”

20．A.better B．safer

A
The state of Colorado has four of the 58 national parks in the United States. These have been judged the best places of all the national parks.
Black Canyon (峡谷) of the Gunnison National Park
This park lies in western Colorado and offers the most impressive views from up in the mountains into the canyons below. While exploring the canyons, you will find that the walls drop nearly straight down into very narrow valleys with snake-like rivers below. Visitors are offered more than 100 camping sites, and a lot of bird species and many animals are native to the area.
Rocky Mountain National Park
It is the only national park in the north central region in the state of Colorado. Elevations (高地) in this park you will find are anywhere from 8,000 feet to 14,259 feet at the top of Longs Peak. While travelling throughout this park, you will find there are two very different climates because of the fact that the tops of the Rocky Mountains make a difference. With 359 miles of trails for hiking, there are a lot of places for camping, horseback riding and just enjoying the sights of nature.
Mesa Verde National Park
This is probably the most interesting of all the national parks, offering an extremely interesting trip back in time to 600 A．D. up to 1300 A．D. This park was declared (宣布) a protected national park in 1906 because of the cliff dwellings (住人的崖洞) that were found throughout the park area, which was once home to American Indians. Visitors can actually walk through these dwellings, and they may imagine what each room may have been used for so many years ago.
Great Sand Dunes (沙丘) National Park
The Great Sand Dunes National Park lies in south central Colorado, about 127 miles from Pueblo. This park has the tallest sand dunes in all of North America, with trails for hiking. Natural sandy beaches there are good for people who want to swim around the small rivers and lakes.

A healthy lifestyle includes many choices. Among them, choosing a balanced diet or healthy eating plan is of the greatest importance. But how do you choose a healthy eating plan? Let's begin by explaining what a healthy eating plan is.
A healthy eating plan that helps you manage your weight includes different kinds of foods you may not have considered. If “healthy eating” makes you think about the foods you can't have, try refocusing on all the new foods you can eat.
Fresh, Frozen, or Canned Fruits－don't think about just apples or bananas. All fresh, frozen, or canned fruits are great choices. Be sure to try some fruits from other countries, too. How about a mango, a juicy pineapple or kiwi fruit? What you should pay attention to about canned fruits is that they may contain added sugars. You'd better choose canned fruits packed in water or in their own juice.
Fresh, Frozen, or Canned Vegetables－try something new. Don't eat the same kinds of vegetables all the time. You can try to eat different kinds of vegetables, which is important for a good diet. When trying canned vegetables, look for vegetables without added salt or butter. You can go to the produce department (果蔬部) and try a new vegetable each week.
Calcium-rich foods－you may firstly think of a glass of low-fat or fat-free milk when someone says “Eat more dairy products.” But what about low-fat and fat-free yogurts without added sugars? There is a wide variety of flavors and they can be a great dessert instead of those with a sweet tooth.
What's more, you don't need to give up your favorite comfort food. You can enjoy your favorite foods even if they are high in calories, fat or added sugars. The key is eating them only once in a while, and balancing them out with healthier foods and more physical activity.
The point is that you can figure out how to include almost any food in your healthy eating plan in a way that still helps you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
【文章大意】 文章围绕什么是健康饮食展开，分别从Fruits, Vegetables and Foods几方面介绍了怎么吃才是健康的。最后结论：只有健康的饮食和适宜的运动才能带来健康的体重、健康的身材。
5．According to the passage, what is the most important about a healthy lifestyle?
A．Having a healthy eating plan.
B．Eating something that you like.
C．Asking for a low-fat diet.
D．Improving special diets.
解析：A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的Among them, choosing a balanced diet or healthy eating plan is of the greatest importance.可知，健康生活方式其核心是有一个健康的饮食计划。
6．The author says “try something new” in Paragraph 4 to tell us that ________.
A．vegetables are important for our health
B．we can not choose fruits with added sugars
C．a good diet should include different vegetables
D．we'll keep fit if we are interested in non-sweet fruits
解析：C 细节理解题。依据第四段的Don't eat the same kinds of vegetables all the time. You can try to eat different kinds of vegetables, which is important for a good diet.可知，作者建议我们不能总吃那几种蔬菜，要尝试各种新品种，这对一个好的饮食计划是有帮助的。
7．How can you enjoy your favorite foods high in fat or sugar?
A．By eating them in the morning.
B．By taking fat-free yogurts in place of dessert.

Imagine sitting in a classroom and not being able to see a picture that your teacher is showing. Imagine driving a car, not knowing that your vision is so bad and that driving is dangerous to you and others. __1__
That is because there are not enough eye specialists (眼科医生) to find and treat eyesight problems in many poor nations. In some developing countries, there is only one eye specialist for every eight million people. __2__ He started the group Global Vision 2020, which is working to bring eye tests and low-cost eyeglasses to people in developing countries.
__3__ That is too much for most people in many developing countries where many earn $2 a day or less, White said. White has developed a low-cost tool that teachers, nurses, and almost anyone can be trained to use and quickly learn if children or adults need glasses.
White showed his system at a coffee shop near Global Vision's office in Easton, Maryland. In less than five minutes, he tested the eyesight of a woman who could not see things well a short distance away. He then picked out the correct lenses (镜片) for her, and placed them into a frame. __4__ This meant she could see a group of letters about six meters away.
__5__ For example, White said, studies show that people with vision problems drop out of school at higher rates than those with normal vision. He believes many car accidents are caused by people who need but do not have glasses. So people with eyesight problems should be helped to see normally.
A．She could then see normally.
B．That's what J．Kevin White found.
C．It is helpful to be able to see clearly.
D．The woman loved wearing at very much.
E．Not every child can afford a pair of glasses.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
I recently booked tickets to take my children, aged seven and nine, to see The Railway Children at the theatre. Thinking they may get more out of it if they already knew the story, I ordered the book to read to them. I'm slightly ashamed (羞愧的) to say we only managed to read a few parts of the book. While everyone loved the film and the play was excellent, as far as a reading experience goes, for me at least, it was quite hard to stand.
It wasn't because the language was difficult, but because the writer seemed to use 10 sentences when one would probably work. But, as a book-lover, hoping that my children would read widely, I thought, “Is it important that they read the classics (经典著作)？”
My friend Pandora thinks children's classics are just for school. She said, “Unless they had great adventure, then they won't keep the parent or the kid gripped while reading together.”
Another friend of mine Clare believes it is important that her children read the classics and revisit them again when they are older.
Camilla, my sister-in-law, makes a very good point that books like The Railway Children were written in a different period of time with a different lifestyle in mind. She said, “I think the issue is that books are written for people who have less time now, while the classics were people's entertainment, so the writing had to be long and drawn out.”
Nowadays, children may feel that when they read a book from the past, they have to struggle through a lot of difficult writing, only to find that not much happens. If that's the case, they might enjoy the books more in simplified versions (简化版) or by having the books read to them as a bedtime story.
“Some people seem to refuse books in simplified versions, but I don't think there's anything wrong with reading a classic novel in a simplified version first, and then later in life moving to the full version，” Camilla said. It sounds like excellent advice.
【文章大意】 一些经典书籍对于现在的小孩而言过于枯燥，那么现在的小孩应该阅读经典书籍吗？
1．What does the underlined word “gripped” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Attracted. B．Disappointed.
C．Touched. D．Frightened.
解析：A 词义猜测题。根据Unless it had great adventure可知，这里是指如果书里面没有冒险描写的话，很难一直“吸引”读者读下去。
2．What does Camilla think about books like The Railway Children?
A．They don't really have much value.
B．They shouldn't be considered as classics.
C．They're no longer suitable for today's kids.
D．They're really good to entertain today's people.
解析：C 推理判断题。根据第五段的I think the issue is that books are written for people who have less time now，while the classics were people's entertainment, so the writing had to be long and drawn out. 可知，Camilla认为经典书籍已经不适合现在的小孩子读了。
3．Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?
A．Today's children shouldn't read classics.
B．Classics are usually famous for their stories.
C．Today's kids can read simplified versions of classics.
D．Today's kids don't have to read a classic again and again.
解析：C 作者观点题。根据末段的I don't think there's anything wrong with reading a classic novel in a simplified version first以及It sounds like excellent advice.可知，作者认为小孩子可以读简化版的经典书籍。
4．What would be the best title of the text?
A．Should today's kids read classics?
B．Do today's kids like reading classics?
C．What should today's kids read in their spare time?
D．What kind of books should parents buy for their kids?
解析：A 标题归纳题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要围绕现在的小孩是否应该读经典书籍展开的。
