2．A.condition B．place
C．sight D．show
解析：作者在此处想要说明的是，上文描述的男子乞讨的情景并不常见。sight在此处意为“景象，情景”，符合语境。condition“条件，环境”；place“地方”；show“展览，表演”。

解析：low在此处是形容词，意为“少的，缺少(钱)的”，说明作者一家也不富裕，经济也很拮据。

解析：此处使用了虚拟语气，表示作者的假想：如果自己当初不同意帮助乞讨的男子，情况会完全不同。
18．A.time B．power
C．patience D．money
解析：根据常理可知，帮助乞讨的人主要需要付出金钱，而不是时间、能力或耐心，所以此处应选money。
19．A.fear B．love
C．need D．memory
解析：in need是固定短语，意为“需要帮助的”。作者一家帮助了一位需要帮助的人。
20．A.strong B．sweet

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Matthew Ames returned to Brisbane from Melbourne at the weekend after experiencing one of many rounds of surgery，becoming Australia's first bionic (仿生学的) man.Matthew Ames was at home on Monday morning，adjusting to national media attention and life with titanium rods (钛杆) in what remains of his arms and legs.If all goes to plan，later in the year he will have more surgery to fix bionic prosthetics (假肢)．
It all started 15 months ago，when the Origin Energy engineer—who lived with his wife Diane and four children in Camp Hill in Brisbane's east—began feeling like he was coming down with the “man flu”．A week later he was in hospital，senseless and on life support，which was caused by a deadly form of bacteria.
“He had a 99% chance of dying，”Matthew's son Luke,9，said in a program，Sunday Night which drew more than 2.12 million viewers nationally.
Matthew's younger sons Ben,8，and Will,7，added：“And only 1% of living.”
Proudly Will concluded: “And the 1% won against the 99%.”
Matthew's families were told Matthew's only chance of survival was to have his four limbs removed.For Diane，the choice was easy.She could not allow their children to grow up without a father.Eventually，Matthew came to，only to find he had no arms and legs.
On Monday，he is attending a Pride of Australia Medal ceremony for which he has been nominated (被提名) in the courage category.“The 40-year-old is slowly getting used to a few more people knowing about his story，” his sister Kate told Fairfax Media.“We told his story so that he was known to the kids，and thus people wouldn't stop and stare，” Kate continued.“We're not sure what to expect now that his story has aired across Australia.The effect it would have in a positive way on people is beyond our expectation.”
文章大意：澳大利亚人Matthew Ames因病不得不截去四肢以挽救其生命，手术后，Matthew又通过多次手术安装了假肢，他战胜病魔的意志和决心鼓舞了很多人。

A．it was a wonder for their father to escape from death
B．most doctors refused to operate on their father
C．the sons' love is the cure of their father's disease
D．the sons' pray moved God and saved their father
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“He had a 99% chance of dying”和第五段中的“And the 1% won against the 99%.”可推断A项正确。
3. What was the attitude of Matthew's wife when he was advised to cut his legs and arms？__B__
A．Doubtful. B．Supportive.
C．Cautious.　　　　 D．Casual.
解析：推理判断题。根据第六段中的“For Diane，the choice was easy.She could not allow their children to grow up without a father.”可判断他妻子Diane是支持他截肢保命的。
4．What would be the best title for the passage？__B__
A．A Lucky Father B．A Bionic Man
C．A National Hero D．A Reliable Husband
解析：标题归纳题。这是一则关于Matthew Ames因病截肢后安装人工假肢的新闻报道，所以用A Bionic Man作为标题合适。

4.__A__When they calm down afterwards，they would regret their “ridiculous” behavior and have to pay the price for the consequences.

December 15,2014
Dear Alfred，
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up，I had people telling me I was too slow，though，with an IQ of 150 at 17，I'm anything but stupid.The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍)．Anxious all the time，I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
However，when something did interest me，I could become absorbed.In high school，I became curious about the computer，and built my first website.Moreover，I completed the senior course of Computer Basics，plus five relevant precollege courses.
While I was exploring my curiosity，my disease got worse.I wanted to go to college after high school，but couldn't.So，I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
Since then，I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics.Currently，I'm learning your Probability course.I have hundreds of printer paper，covered in self-written notes from your video.This has given me a purpose.
Last year，I spent all my time looking for a job where，without dealing with the public，I could work alone，but still have a team to talk to.Luckily，I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead.I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession，without going to college，and be just as good as，if not better than，my competitors.
Thank you.You've given me hope that I can follow my heart.For the first time，I feel good about myself because I'm doing something，not because someone told me I was doing good.I feel whole.
This is why you're saving my life.
Yours，
Tanis
文章大意：这是一封书信，作者有注意力缺陷，因此没能实现大学梦，但是一家培训中心的网站给了作者在线学习的机会，让她的生活有了目标，并且找到了一份好工作。
1．Why did't Tanis go to college after high school？__B__
A．She had learned enough about computer science.
B．She had more difficulty keeping focused.
C．She preferred taking online courses.
D．She was too slow to learn.
解析：题干的“不去读大学”告诉我们，本题的答案应该定位在第四段。该段说，作者的病情变得更糟了，因此不能去读大学，而这个疾病是第二段说到的ADHD，具体表现是注意力不能集中较长时间(unable to keepfocused for more than an hour st a time)，这与B项叙述吻合。
2．As for the working environment，Tanis prefers __A__.
A．working by herself B．dealing with the public
C．competing against others D．staying with ADHD students
解析：根据题干的working environment，我们找到第六段的looking for a job，该段说到作者希望的工作环境：I could work alone，but still have a team to talk to。A项的working by herself与该句的work alone表达的意思是一致的，因此选A。
3．Tanis wrote this letter in order to __C__.
A．explain why she was interested in the computer
B．share the ideas she had for her profession
C．show how grateful she was to the center
D．describe the courses she had taken so far
解析：作者在文章开头直接说明写信的目的“告诉你你的帮助对我的人生是多么重要”；然后描述自己的病情，未实现的大学梦，以及收信人开办的网站给作者带来的影响，因此本文的写作目的是C：表明作者对于这个培训中心的感激。

Wheelchair basketball is a very common wheelchair sport.It was started over forty years ago as a medical recovering program，and over the years has grown rapidly.Today wheelchair basketball is a professional sport that offers more than 180 teams across the United States.In order to play wheelchair basketball，it is essential to have a lightweight wheelchair.Several sports wheelchairs are on the market today just for sports enthusiasts.
Another wheelchair sport，quad rugby，was specifically designed for quadriplegics(四肢瘫痪者)who are unable to play wheelchair basketball.It is a mixture of wheelchair basketball and ice hockey.To play the game you must have two teams of four players each.Each player is classified based on impairment(损伤)．
Power soccer is another fun wheelchair sport that can be very fun and exciting.Players in power soccer must have an electric wheelchair.Two teams have two 30-minute halves to push the soccer ball over the other team's goal line.The first team to reach the other team's goal line most frequently wins.
And finally，based on the sport you choose to participate in，there are several wheelchair sports accessories available for you，including belts and harnesses，gloves，bags for carrying items，drink holders and special back supports.

My Left Foot
Imagine being a prisoner of your own__body，unable to make any movements except to move your left foot.The main character in My Left Foot，based on the real story of cerebral palsy (大脑性瘫痪)sufferer Christy Brown，can hardly move his mouth to speak，but by controlling his left foot，he's able to express himself as an artist and poet.For his moving performance of Brown，Daniel Lewis won his first Academy Award for best actor.
Shine
Do you have a talent you're afraid to share with the world？David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great pianists”，but the pressures of performing (and pleasing his father)resulted in a complete breakdown.Ten years in a mental institution didn't weaken Helfgott's musical gift.When he was rediscovered，he was playing concertos in a bar.Shine received seven Oscar nominations (提名)，and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott.
Life Is Beautiful
Nothing's more powerful than the love between a parent and a child.In this heartbreaking Italian film，a father (Roberto Benigni)makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son：trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945，the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a complex game.He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war，and even in his final moments of life，keeps his son smiling and hopeful.Benigni won the best actor Oscar.
Stand and Deliver
Few people can inspire us more than a good teacher.Jaime Escalante (Edward James Olmos got Oscar nomination for best actor) is a great one.Employed at a high school where kids are expected to fail，Escalante challenges his math students to struggle for better things，like getting good grades in the AP exam.Despite the difficulties in their lives，the classmates achieve their goals，thanks to Mr Escalante's support.The real Jaime Escalante，the Best Teacher in America，says that stand Deliver is “90% truth,10% drama.”

In 1959，when Jean Harper was in the third grade，her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up.She poured her heart into her report and expressed her dream of becoming an airline pilot.Her paper came back with an “F” on it.The teacher told her it was a “fairy tale”．Jean was heartbroken and ashamed.As the years went by，Jean was beaten down by the discouragement and negativity she encountered whenever she talked about her dream.“Girls can't become airline pilots；never have，never will.You're crazy.That's impossible.” Finally Jean gave up.
In her senior year of high school，her English teacher was Mrs.Dorothy Slaton，a demanding teacher with high standards.One day Mrs.Slaton asked this question: “If you had unlimited finances，unlimited access to the finest schools，unlimited talents and abilities，what would you do？” Jean felt a rush of the old enthusiasm，and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream.
The next thing that Mrs.Slaton said changed the course of Jean's life.The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said，“I have a little secret for you.You do have unlimited abilities and talents.When you leave school，if you don't go for your dreams，no one will do it for you.You can have what you want if you want it enough.”
The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared all of a sudden.Jean felt thrilled and told her about her dream of becoming a pilot.Mrs.Slaton slapped the desk top.“Then do it ！” she said.
So Jean did.It didn't happen overnight.In her 10 years of hard work，even facing varieties of laugh，frustration and opposition，she never gave up her dream.Instead，she went on doing everything that her third-grade teacher said was fairy-tale.
Eventually，Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain for the United Airline Company.

1．解析：There be为固定句型，表示“有”，其中的be动词不能换成have或has；再结合全文主体时态为一般现在时可知，此处也应用一般现在时。故将have改为are。have的主语通常为人。
2．解析：根据句意“尽管政府已经为他们做了很多，但还是不够。”可知，前后句之间为让步关系，应用Though或Although。故将If改为Though或Although。
3．解析：student为可数名词，根据下文中的 we可知应用复数形式。故将student改为students。
4．解析：此处修饰动词treat，应用good的副词形式well。故将good改为well。
5．解析：look down on/upon为固定搭配，意为“看不起，蔑视”。故在down后添加on或upon。
6．解析：society意为“社会”，前面通常不加冠词。故将society之前的the删除。
方法：society的用法
(1)“社会”，其前一般不加冠词the。如：fit into society融入社会。
(2)“协会；社团”，其前一般加the。试比较：We are all members of the society.(我们都是该社团成员。)We are all members of society.(我们都是社会的成员。)
7．解析：句意为：另外，我们要关心他们，尽我们最大的努力去帮助他们，让他们的生活变得更加容易。本句中已有并列谓语，因此make应用非谓语动词；make与逻辑主语we之间为主动关系，故用现在分词形式，表示自然而然的结果。故将make改为making。
8．解析：由本句逻辑关系可知，此处指“我们有必要帮助培养他们的(their)信心”。故将our改为their。
9．解析：the first step to success意为“走向成功的第一步”，此处to为介词，后接名词作宾语。故将succeed改为success。

Google is to start building its own self-driving cars, rather than modifying vehicles built by other producers.The car will have a stop-go button but no controls, steering wheel or pedals.
Pictures of the Google vehicle show it looks like a city car with a “friendly” face, designed to make it seem non-threatening and help people accept self-driving technology.Co-founder Sergey Brin revealed the plans at a conference in California.
“We're really excited about this vehicle—it's something that will allow us to really push the capabilities of self-driving technology, and understand the limitations，” said Chris Urmson, director of the company's self-driving project.
He added that the cars had the ability to “improve people's lives by transforming mobility”．
But some researchers working in this field are investigating potential downsides to driverless car technology.
They believe they could make traffic and urban extension worse，as people accept longer commutes(往返路程)as they do not have to drive themselves.
It looks almost cartoon-like，it has no traditional bonnet at the front，and the wheels are pushed to the corners.
It will seat two people，driving force will be electric，and at the start it will be limited to 25mph (40km/h) to help ensure safety.
The most significant thing about the design is that it does not，have any controls, apart from a stop/go button.For early testing, extra controls will be fitted so one of Google's test drivers can take over if there is a problem.
The controls will be simply plugged in, and Mr.Urmson believes that over time, as confidence in the technology grows，they will be removed entirely.The front end of the vehicle is designed to be safer for pedestrians, with a soft foam-like material where a traditional bumper would be, and a more flexible windscreen，which may help reduce injuries.
The vehicle will use a combination of laser and radar sensors along with camera data to drive autonomously.
It will depend on Google's road maps, built specifical for the programme, and tested on the company's current fleet of vehicles.

Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror.Your face is firm and young-looking.In 2035, medical technology is better than ever.Many people could live to be 150, so at 40, you're not old at all.And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment.Now, all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt, “Turn red.”It changes from blue to red.In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles (粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body.The particles can be programmed to change your clothes' color or pattern.
You walk into the kitchen.You pick up the milk, but a voice says，“You shouldn't drink that！” Your fridge has read the chip(芯片) that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is old.In 2035 ，every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.
It's time to go to work.In 2035, cars drive themselves.Just tell your“smart car”where to go.On the way，you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve.Such“smart technology” is all around you.
So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed，” says scientist Andrew Zolli，“it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?
文章大意：本文为说明文，题材是科普知识类。随着新技术的成功，人们未来的生活变得越来越美好：寿命可以延长至150岁，智能衣服的颜色也是随心而变，食物上也装有芯片，汽车可以自动驾驶……。
4．We can learn from the text that in the future __D__.
A．people will never get old
B．everyone will look the same
C．red will be the most popular color

A．Nothing can replace the Internet.
B．Fridges will know what people need.

A．Food and clothing in 2035.
B．Future technology in everyday life.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
There are robots all around us.Some do very complicated (复杂的) jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains.And some do one simple job.When an automatic washing machine is switched on，water pours in.The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes.It does this by “feedback”(反馈)．Information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next.Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback.They tell us what is going on around us.So robots are like human beings in two ways.They work and they have feedback.
In some ways robots are better than human beings.They work quickly and do not make mistakes.They do not get bored with doing the same job over and over again.And they never get tired.So robots are very useful in factories.They can be taught to do many different jobs.First their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done.A person moves the robot's “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.
The most intelligent(智能的) robots can move and see.Their eyes are cameras.Their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects.These robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions.The expensive “Times New Roman ”—the most intelligent robots are used in scientific research.They do such a job as handling radioactive materials.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A

Robots performing tasks according to a predetermined set of instructions are nothing new.But robots able to learn how to cook by watching videos are a completely different approach, which is conducted by a group of researchers at the University of Maryland.
If you have posted a video of your favorite recipe on the popular website YouTube, chances are that it will be used by a robot.University of Maryland's professor Yiannis Aloimonos, leader of the group, said “There exists a large amount of video information on the Internet that our robots can capitalize on.”
“At present, the videos are fed electronically，”said research scientist Cornelia Fermuller.“Originally, we took our own videos, our cameras looking at us doing the cooking，”she explained.“And, as the robot advances, it reacts to good quality videos.And it will react to even lower quality homemade videos.”
So far, the robot named Julia can make a simple salad by breaking each task into basic parts, such as grasping a spoon, bringing it to the bowl, stirring the salad and observing the results.
But why teach a robot how to understand a video when it can easily follow a fixed program? Aloimonos believes predetermined instructions lack flexibility.He thinks one of the problems is how to make the robot understand and use what it learns during a certain task, the so-called feedback (反馈意见)；another is the introduction of language.
“I believe it will take quite some time before the robots are able to understand metaphorical (比喻性的)language，”he added.“But，” he said, “we don't need that to create a new world where the robots will be working for us.”
文章大意：机器人按既定指令完成任务并不让人觉得新鲜，但能看着视频学做饭的机器人，你可能前所未闻。
1．The underlined phrase “capitalize on” in Paragraph 2 probably can be replaced by“__B__”．
A．take hold of　　 B．make use of
C．keep track of D．catch sight of
解析：词义猜测题。由第二段的第一句“If you have posted...used by a robot.”可知，机器人能利用网上大量的视频信息。结合第二段的最后一句可知，capitalize on应与“make use of”意思相近，因此选择B项。
2．Aloimonos probably agrees that at present the robot __A__.
A．can not fully digest what it learns
B．can not make a simple salad
C．can follow home-made videos
D．can understand metaphorical language
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段Aloimonos的话可知，该机器人目前还不能理解比喻性的语言。根据倒数第二段的最后一句可推知，Aloimonos可能认为目前该机器人还不能完全消化它学的东西，应选择A项。
3．Robots are taught to understand a video mainly because __D__.
A．they can easily follow fixed programs
B．they are smart enough to learn cooking
C．cooking videos are more interesting to watch
D．predetermined instructions are not flexible
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的前两句“But why teach a robot...a fixed program？Aloimonos believes predetermined instructions lack flexibility.”可知，教机器人理解视频是因为预定指令不够灵活，应选择D项。
4．Which of the following might best serve as the title of the passage？__C__
A．Robots Creating a New World
B．Robots Making Cooking Videos
C．Robots Learning to Cook by Watching Videos
D．Robots Performing Tasks by Following Instructions
解析：标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了通过观看视频学做饭的机器人，因此C项是最佳标题。
B

In the future, when robots can be used both in homes and in other areas, they could improve the living standards of people.Many people burn their energy on their day-to-day tasks like cooking, cleaning after work，etc.When robots can complete such jobs, people can spend more time with their family and friends.Experts say that many major problems in the modern world are caused by miscommunication.When people have more time, they can talk freely to solve such issues and eventually create a happy society.
Robots can be used on certain jobs to avoid accidents caused by careless behavior of some people.When robots are used on such work, it does not risk any human life due to accidents at the workplace.Human resources can be efficiently used by performing tasks which demand human skills like critical thinking and problem solving.Robots can be used on low-end jobs like moving heavy things and heavy weight lifting.
While some people talk about how robots can be useful to humans, others voice their concerns about reduction in human value and the creation of a lazy society due to heavy dependency on robots.When robots become cheaper to produce, employers may prefer to use more robots than humans.As the technology constantly improves the abilities of robots, it could weaken the value of humans.Many people may rely on robots heavily.Some may even develop the habit of using robots on tasks that they can easily do.This could create a lazy society.
As an aging society, Japan sees it as a must to build robots that take care of elderly people at their homes，because without them, the nation's health care system can't cope.There will simply be too many elderly people to care for as the nation faces a decreasing birth rate, an aging population, and the loosening of family ties.However, many of Japan's elderly people would prefer human helpers rather than robots.Above all, Japan wants, if not “needs”， its dreams of robots in the home to come true because its immigration (移民) policy is anti-immigration.
In conclusion, robots can be used on anything that can eventually improve humans' living standards but we can't depend on them too much.Robots can be used to help humans live in harmony and form a happy society.
文章大意：机器人在家庭和工作场所的应用将给人们的生活和工作带来极大便利，但过度依赖机器人将使人类变懒。
5．According to the first paragraph, when robots can be used in homes，__C__.
A．people will spend more time on their work
B．there would be more misunderstandings between humans
C．people's living standards will be improved
D．people may communicate more with robots than human beings
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“In the future，when robots...improve the living standards of people.”可知，机器人在家庭中的使用将提高人们的生活质量。
6．Compared with humans，robots are better at __D__.
A．problem solving B．communicating with others
C．critical thinking D．working safely
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“Robots can be used on...careless behavior of some people.”可知，与人类相比，机器人更擅长安全工作。
7．Some people worry that with more robots being used __A__.
A．people will be unwilling to work hard
B．human resources won't be needed at the workplace
C．it will be harder to improve the abilities of robots
D．robots will be beyond our control
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“...others voice their concerns about reduction in human value and the creation of a lazy society...”可知，一些人担心随着机器人使用的增加人们将不愿再努力工作。
8．What can we infer from Paragraph 4？__A__
A．Japan will try to develop robots to be used in the home.
B．The robots are well received by elderly people in Japan.
C．The Japanese government encourages foreigners to move to Japan.
D．Most Japanese citizens are against robots in the home.
解析：推理判断题。由文章第四段第一句和最后一句可知日本认为必须生产机器人照顾老人，希望在家庭中使用机器人的梦想能够实现，从而可椎知日本将大力发展机器人产业。

I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only.What we all know, a good learning environment is of greatly importance if we want to study English well.Classes teaching in English provide students for a better environment.When English is an only language in class, students will have more opportunity to practise listening and speaking.However, there were problems with this method.Sometimes we may find difficult to follow the teacher and some slow learners may even give up learn English.In spite of these difficulties, but I believe practice makes perfect.With enough practice, we can overcome the difficulties and benefit from English classes in the long run.

I don't think I can recall a time when I wasn't aware of the beauty of the ocean.Growing up in Australia, I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side.The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay, I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.
For my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef.There were fish in different colors, caves and layers of coral.They made such an impression on me.When I learned that only 1 percent of Australia's Coral Sea was protected, I was shocked.Australian marine (海洋的) life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth.But sadly, only 45% of the world's reefs are considered healthy.
This statistic is depressing, so it's important for us to do everything to protect them.The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete eco-system has led me to take action.I've become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world.It would serve as a place where the ocean's species will all have a safe place forever.
Together, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement.Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.

Why Do We Find It Hard to Say“No”？
As is well known, saying “no” to others is not easy at all.But sometimes we have to learn to say “no”．__1.G__ Below are common reasons why people find it hard to say “no”：
●__2.A__You are a kind soul at heart.You don't want to turn the person away and you want to help when possible, even if it may eat into your time.
●Afraid of being rude.I was brought up under the idea that saying “no”， especially to people who are more senior, is rude.This thinking is common in Asian culture, where face-saving is important.__3.E__
●Wanting to be agreeable.You don't want to alienate (疏远) yourself from the group because you're not in agreement.So you agree to others' requests.
●Fear of conflict.__4.F__ This might lead to an ugly confrontation(对立)．Even if there isn't, there might be disagreement which might lead to negative consequences in the future.
●__5.B__Perhaps you are worried saying “no” means closing doors.For example, one of my friends' wives was asked to work in another department in her company.Since she liked her team, she didn't want to go.However, she didn't want to say “no” as she felt it would affect her promotion opportunities in the future.
A．You want to help others.
B．Fear of losing opportunities.
C．Wanting to keep good relationships.
D．I slowly realized I needed to learn to say“no”．
E．It means not making others look bad or lose face.
F．You are afraid the person might be angry if you reject him/her.
G．To learn to say “no”， we have to first understand what's stopping us about it.
文章大意：众所周知，说“不”是一件不容易的事，但在现实生活中我们又必须要学会说“不”。本文阐述了难以拒绝他人的原因。
1．解析：要想学会说“不”，首先我们要明白是什么阻止我们说“不”。与下一句(以下是一些人们觉得难以说“不”的常见原因)语意紧密相连，只有G项符合逻辑。
2．解析：此处缺少本段的主题句。根据后文的表述，特别是“...you want to help when possible”可知A项(你想要帮助别人)正确。
3．解析：上一句提到“留面子是很重要的”，故顺承上句语意应选E(留面子意味着不能让他人难堪)。E项中“It”指代上一句中的“face-saving”。
4．解析：由前一句主题句(害怕冲突)可知F项(如果你拒绝他/她，你害怕那个人会生气)是围绕主题句展开描述的。
5．解析：此处缺少本段的主题句。由后面举的例子，特别是最后一句中的“...it would affect her promotion opportunities”可知应选B(害怕失去机会)。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine(疫苗). But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.
The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called “herd immunity”， which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn't work.
But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.
That's exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N．Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.
The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.
Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption(豁免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.
Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.
Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they'll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.
文章大意：这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了近年来曾经致命且几乎消失了的麻疹卷土重来。究其原因，是少数人拒绝注射疫苗，导致了自己及其他人的健康受损。作者呼吁人人都应该注射麻疹疫苗。
1．The first two paragraphs suggest that __A__.
A．a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trend
B．the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention
C．anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasons
D．information about measles spreads quickly
解析：考查推理判断。根据前两段的内容，尤其是第二段中的“The numbers might sound small，but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend”可知，少量的麻疹病例却能引起危险的趋势。
2．Herd immunity works well when __C__.
A．exemptions are allowed
B．several vaccines are used together
C．the whole neighborhood is involved in
D．new regulations are added to the state laws
解析：考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in”可知，只有在大家都参加疫苗接种的情况下群体免疫力才有作用。
3．What is the main reason for the comeback of measles？__D__
A．The overuse of vaccine.
B．The lack of medical care.
C．The features of measles itself.
D．The vaccine opt-outs of some people.
解析：考查细节理解。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段和第六段中的“Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加)of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten”可知，麻疹死灰复燃的主要原因是一些人不参加疫苗接种。
4．What is the purpose of the passage？__C__
A．To introduce the idea of exemption.
B．To discuss methods to cure measles.
C．To stress the importance of vaccination.
D．To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.
解析：考查写作意图。根据最后一段中的“Everyone enjoy the life-saving benefits vaccines provide，but they'll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks”并结合文中所述的麻疹死灰复燃的事实可知，作者的目的是强调麻疹疫苗接种的重要性。

参考范文：
Dear Tom，
I'm glad to hear that you are considering making up with Peter. If I were you, I would consider buying a bike as a birthday present for him.
As far as I know, Peter is always in poor health so he can take more exercise by riding a bike to build up his body.In the meanwhile, you can often go for an outing by bike together, which is helpful to rebuild your friendship.Besides, taking a bike is an environmentally friendly means of transport.It's convenient for him to get around as well.
Apart from giving him a gift, you can also adopt other means, such as travelling, seeing a movie, having dinner and going shopping together.No matter what you do, being sincere is the most important.I really hope that you can be good friends forever.
Best wishes!
Yours，
Li Hua

文章大意：作者看到学生穿着印有“泰坦尼克”的T恤，回想起看过的电影《泰坦尼克号》，并分析了泰坦尼克号沉没的主要原因，并由此联想到人际关系。
1．A.leaving　　　　 B．dropping
C．picking D．taking
解析：根据One early morning及As I pulled out of the school...可知，此处指一天早上作者开车送儿子到学校。drop有“(开车)顺路送(某人)到(某处)，放……下车”的意思，符合语境。故选B项。leave意为“离开”；pick意为“挑选；采摘”；take意为“带走”。
2．A.Following B．Hearing
C．Neglecting D．Knowing
解析：作者了解学校的校服制度，因此认为这个女孩属于一个叫“泰坦尼克”的班级团队。故选D项。follow意为“遵守；跟随”，hear意为“听见”，neglect意为“忽视”，均不符合语境。
3．A.help B．imagine
C．think D．wonder
解析：作者在看到女孩穿着印有Titanic字样的T恤时，情不自禁地问自己，学生们为什么会将自己的团队命名为“泰坦尼克”。can't/couldn't help but do sth.是固定结构，意为“禁不住做某事”，符合语境。故选A项。imagine意为“想像”，think意为“思考；认为”，wonder意为“想知道”，均不符合语境。
4．A.name B．award
C．fix D．set
解析：根据上文的a class team called“Titanic”可知，该空与called同义，指“命名为”，故选name，在此作动词，意为“命名，取名”。award意为“授予；奖励”，fix意为“修理；固定”，set意为“放置；嵌入；以……为背景”，均不符合语境。
5．A.smooth B．successful
C．useful D．reliable
解析：泰坦尼克号是沉没的船，作者想知道为什么学生们给自己的团队取这个名字，但同时又期待这个团队能够成功(successful)。故选B项。smooth意为“光滑的；顺利的”；useful意为“有用的”；reliable意为“可信赖的”。
6．A.thanks to B．followed by
C．resulting in D．caused by
解析：作者观看了《泰坦尼克号》这部电影，设空处后是作者解释看这部电影的原因，即孩子们强迫作者跟他们一起看的。thanks to意为“多亏，由于”，符合语境。故选A项。followed by意为“被……跟随”；result in意为“导致”；caused by意为“由……引起”。
7．A.suggestion B．doubt
C．curiosity D．demand
解析：根据下文的问句What sunk the Titanic？Was it because...was overconfident？可知，此处指作者的疑问(doubt)。故选B项。suggestion意为“建议”；curiosity意为“好奇心”；demand意为“需要；需求”。
8．A.lucky B．prepared
C．good D．advanced
解析：根据下文第11空后的however prepared you are可知，此处指作者问自己船沉没是不是因为船没有做好准备(prepared)。故选B项。
9．A.mixture B．cause
C．result D．combination
解析：根据设空后的many reasons可知，此处指在作者看来，船只沉没是很多原因的综合作用。mixture意为“混合体”；cause意为“原因；起因”；result意为“结果”；combination意为“结合；联合；混合”。故选D项。
易混：mixture与combination的用法区别
(1)mixture指“(几种不同物质、思想、特质等的)混合(体)，结合(体)”。如：Pour the mixture into the cake pan and bake for 50 minutes.把混合材料倒入蛋糕烤盘，然后烘烤50分钟。(2)combination指“(两种或两种以上不同事物、物质等的)结合，混合”，不一定是相互融合。如：A combination of factors may be responsible for the increase in cancer.各种因素的综合作用可能导致了癌症发病率的上升。
10．A.safe B．guaranteed
C．unexpected D．impossible
解析：上文提到，船的主人认定自己的船足够现代和坚固，不会沉没，但后来船却沉了，由此可知，在生活中，没有什么是有保证的(guaranteed)。safe意为“安全的”；unexpected意为“出乎意料的”；impossible意为“不可能的”。故选B项。
11．A.opening B．staring
C．twinkling D．glancing
解析：句意为：生活瞬息万变，无论你准备得多么充分，你可能都需要应对沉船的可能性。twinkle意为“闪烁”，与眼睛所做的动作相符，in the twinkling of an eye用于形容时间短促，为固定搭配。故选C项。
12．A.show up B．cope with
C．leave behind D．cover up
解析：句意见上一题解析。show up意为“出现”；cope with意为“处理，对付”；leave behind意为“丢弃，留下”；cover up意为“掩盖”。根据句意可知选B项。
13．A.on board B．in line
C．on the top D．on upload
解析：根据空前的the ship可知，此处指“在船上”(on board)，故选A项。句意为：第二个错误是船上的人数超过了船上救生船所能承载的人数。in line意为“成一排；成一条直线”；on the top意为“在顶部”；on upload意为“在上传”。
14．A.Meanwhile B．Again
C．Instead D．Besides
解析：上文已经提到船主过于自信，此处再一次强调。句意为：这一次又是因为船主对船过于自信。meanwhile意为“与此同时”；again意为“再一次”；instead意为“相反地”；besides意为“而且”。根据句意可知选B项。
15．A.forgetting B．unknowing
C．ignorant D．non-reminded
解析：句意为：或者他只是粗心，忽视了缺少足够的救生工具存在的危险。此处更进一步分析船主的错误。be ignorant of意为“不知道……；对……一无所知”。
16．A.put off B．cut off
C．bite off D．call off
解析：根据设空后的more than you can chew可知，此处指从这个错误中我们学到的最大的教训是：永远不要咬超出你所能咀嚼的量。put off意为“推迟”；cut off意为“切断”；bite off意为“咬掉；截去”；call off意为“取消”。故选C项。
17．A.humorous B．generous
C．small D．attractive
解析：根据设空后的when spitting it back out“将多吃的东西吐出来”可知，这时没有人看起来是有魅力的(attractive)。humorous意为“幽默的”；generous意为“慷慨的”；small意为“小的”。故选D项
18．A.contributions B．contests
C．relationships D．celebrations
解析：此处为作者由此获得的启发：这也适用于人与人之间的关系(relationships)。contribution意为“贡献”；contest意为“竞赛”；celebration意为“庆祝会”。故选C项。
19．A.waiting B．beginning
C．wanting D．expecting
解析：根据设空后的sink your ship可知，此处指那些过于自信的态度和懒惰的倾向是等待(waiting)击沉你船只的冰山。根据语境可知选A项。begin意为“开始”；want意为“想要”；expect意为“预料；预计”。
20．A.overturns B．destroys
C．disappears D．drops
解析：根据前文讲述泰坦尼克号的沉没及第19空后的sink your ship可知，此处指过度自信最终会让船沉没。drop down意为“使……下降”，符合语境。

What do you know about the sea?

Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea.It is a strange sea.In most parts of the sea, there are a lot of fishes and plants.Some live near the top of the sea.Others live deep down.No sunlight can reach the depth of the sea.So it is completely dark. Strange fishes live there.Some are blind. Some have their own lights.Some have great jaws (口部)．With their great jaws, they swallow fish larger than themselves.The sea can be very cold.Deep sea divers know this well.At the top the water may be warm.Then as the divers go down，the sea becomes colder and colder.

Amber has a degree in business management and economics.She put her skills to good use when she spent eleven months in Cambodia (柬埔寨)through World Hope International as a volunteer working with a local micro-finance(小额信贷) company to help the poor get financial services.
Amber's first few weeks in Cambodia was busy and difficult as she tried to learn the language，understand the culture and get used to her new surroundings.Her volunteer service involved working with a local micro-finance company.In addition to writing plans，preparing international marketing materials and building donor(捐献人)relations，Amber met with company clients.During these visits she learned how the small loans they received transformed their lives.She learned first-hand the benefits of micro-finance，which by providing farmers and small-business owners with affordable working capital (such as money to buy a sewing machine) helped them to earn their way out of poverty(贫穷)．
“It never stopped amazing me when a client would show me a new home that was built because of a loan he received or the way a client's business had improved and thus allowed his children to be sent to school，” Amber said.
Amber recalled that one client called Paul walked her all around his house，pointing to what he had done with each of eight loans he'd received.He explained how every loan had improved his family's quality of life.Amber said he was one of the hardest-working men she had ever met.He had suffered greatly in the Cambodian Civil War and became disabled，but not once did he let it kill his dreams of realizing a better life for his family.His latest purchase，a sound system that he rented out for weddings and other parties doubled his income!
Amber said，“Living and working in Cambodia helped me see the world in new ways and made me aware of the hardship and suffering that many people around the world face every day.Those eleven months were some of the most meaningful months of my life.”

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。
Emily burst out crying by the time the softball game ended.It wasn't because her team lost.__1.C__It wasn't even because of anything the other team had said or done.Emily's tears came after her dad yelled at her—in front of all her teammates—for missing the fly ball that could have saved the game.Emily is just 8 years old.
If your child has ever participated in a sport，you've undoubtedly met people like Emily's dad who behave in appropriately and upset their kids.These parents pay too much attention to winning and losing.__2.E__They forget that one of the most important goals of kids' sports is to promote a sense of good sportsmanship (体育精神)．
Good sportsmanship is that teammates，opponents，coaches，and officials treat each other with respect.__3.G__Kids who see adults behave in a sportsmanlike way gradually come to understand that the real winners in sports are those who know how to persevere (不屈不挠) and to behave with dignity—whether they win or lose a game.
__4.F__It starts with something as simple as shaking hands with opponents before a game.And it includes acknowledging good plays made by others and accepting bad calls gracefully.
__5.A__It can be tough to congratulate the opposing team after losing a close or important game.But the kids who learn how to do it will benefit in many ways.
A．Displaying good sportsmanship isn't always easy.
B．Good sportsmanship is not easy for kids to understand.
C．It wasn't because she was unhappy about her own playing.
D．It was because she was disappointed with her own performance.
E．They lose sight of how well their kids perform，which is really important.
F．Parents can help their kids understand that good sportsmanship includes both small gestures and heroic efforts.
G．Kids learn the basics of sportsmanship from the adults in their lives，especially their parents and their coaches.
文章大意：本文为议论文。文章就体育精神的概念、内涵以及如何培养孩子的体育精神进行讨论。
1．解析：本段描述的是Emily在垒球比赛结束的时候突然大哭起来，接下来的句子探究的是其原因。C和D与此关联，但本段倒数第二句说明了真正的原因，D与之矛盾。
2．解析：本段是对上段描述的案例进行的点评。上句说，像Emily父亲那样的家长过于在意输赢了，E承接上句说，由于过于在意输赢，势必造成这些家长忽视了自己孩子的表现，E与下句内容也吻合，故选E。
3．解析：本段对good sportsmanship(良好的体育精神)的内涵进行了说明。A，B，F和G均涉及good sportsmanship，但A和B内容与上下句相差甚远，可排除。F和G均提及parents，与下句的adults关联，但本段只是讨论孩子的体育精神从何而来，下段才讨论父母如何帮助孩子建立良好的体育精神风范，F适用于下段，G适合于本段，故选G。
4．解析：参见上题解析。
5．解析：根据接下来一句中的tough可知，A和B(均含有isn't easy)有可能。比较这两个选项可知，A侧重的是displaying，B侧重的是understand，而接下来一句所说的congratulate the opposing team after losing a close or important game属于displaying good sportsmanship，故选A。

文章大意：本文讲述了一位新来的老师鼓励学生们去探望骨折住院的同学的故事。
1．A.greeted　　　　　 B．congratulated
C．amused D．asked
解析：逻辑推理题。老师进来，学生们齐声喊Good morning！应是“问候”，而不是“祝贺”“逗乐”或“询问”。
2．A.said B．found
C．reported D．decided
解析：逻辑推理题。由at a glance可知，她看了一眼，发现班里大约有三十五个学生。found that...在此叙述at a glance的结果。
3．A.more or less B．after all
C．most of all D．above all
解析：逻辑推理题。由全段大意可知，老师只扫了一眼，并未一个一个地去数，因此，学生数目是概数。more or less意为“大约”。
4．A.having B．getting
C．stopping D．waiting
解析：词语辨析题。休斯小姐是新老师，学生们注视着她不说话，应是期待着了解她。wait to do sth.意为“等待做某事”。
5．A.expect B．imagine
C．consider D．wish
解析：词语辨析题。休斯小姐料想孩子们对她很好奇，想知道她的名字。expect意为“料想”，符合题意；imagine意为“想象”；consider意为“考虑”；wish意为“希望”。
6．A.called B．laughed
C．helped D．pulled
解析：词语搭配题。call out意为“大声说出”，此处有脱口而出之意。
7．A.Light B．Sound
C．Surprise D．News
解析：逻辑推理题。依据上下文，休斯小姐是想说“新鲜事传得快”。
8．A.glad B．afraid
C．confident D．sorry
解析：词语搭配题。老师说她要花更长的时间才能记住学生们的名字，她不应是“高兴”“自信”或“对不起”大家要花这么长时间，而应是“恐怕”。
9．A.went over B．took out
C．dealt with D．searched for
解析：词语辨析题。休斯小姐点名之前应是取出名单，take out意为“取出”，符合题意。
10．A.turn B．fact
C．case D．action
解析：背景常识题。休斯小姐取出名单后，自然应按顺序点名。in turn意为“依次”。
11．A.believed B．guessed
C．learned D．mistook
解析：逻辑推理题。老师点到最后一个学生约翰时，她应是注意到他已缺席一个多月。
12．A.turning B．staying
C．smelling D．looking
解析：逻辑推理题。依据上下文推断，休斯小姐开始不知道约翰长时间缺席的原因，故看上去困惑不解。
13．A.class B．row
C．room D．desk
解析：背景常识题。此处有the front来限定，根据句意，B项正确。
14．A.added B．shouted
C．cried D．agreed
解析：词语辨析题。男孩补充女孩不完整的话，add在此句中意为“补充说”。
15．A.started B．been
C．gone D．wanted
解析：词语辨析题。has been to see意为“曾去看过”。
16．A.continued B．left
C．came D．answered
解析：逻辑推理题。answered和上句中的asked相呼应。
17．A.game B．show
C．business D．lesson
解析：逻辑推理题。正式开课前的工作已经完成，该上课了。
18．A.advised B．persuaded
C．begged D．ordered
解析：背景常识题。按常理，学生不应命令老师做某事。上下文均未提老师不愿意讲故事，老师答应得很干脆，也谈不上劝说和建议。beg sb.to do sth.请求某人做某事。
19．A.choose B．send
C．lend D．leave
解析：词语辨析题。ones代指letters，休斯小姐要把最好的信给约翰。
20．A.while B．whether
C．if D．until
解析：语法结构题。根据空前后内容的逻辑关系，此空应填连词if表示条件。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
Three American companies—Mott Electric,4th Utility and MTI—are a great example of how individuals are bringing charity into their work life to make an impact in their community.
At the three companies，the “Day of Giving” happens on the first Friday in December.Each employee donates one hour of pay (some donate an entire day or two！) to support individuals，nonprofits and charities.The companies then match the dollar value of each employee's donation which doubles the effect!
“Within the electrical industry we are lucky to be well paid for our work，better than some other industries and as a company，we want to give something back，” says Rob Brett, CFO of Mott Electric and a member of the charitable committee.
In 1997，Mott Electric's first Day of Giving raised $ 4,445 and benefited two charities.On December 5,2014，employees from the three companies donated 1,039 hours，a 30 percent increase from the previous year! With the companies' match，they raised a total of $ 97,697，helping twenty-five charities and non-profits and many local individuals and families.
“When you think about what that can buy for people in need，it's huge.Our donations put food on the table，buy clothes for families who have been damaged by fire，give support to kids with special needs，buy medicine，provide advice...the list goes on and on，”said Brett.“We like to keep a lot of the money close to where we work and have supported some of our employees' families who have experienced significant challenges.”
“In my opinion the Day of Giving is so successful due to (the companies) matching the dollar amounts that the employees are willing to donate，” said Josh Lennax at Mort Electric.“People will donate more than they usually do，if they know that their $ 1 is actually $ 2—and find a much needed cause with lest expenses allowing the funds to get to those who can use them.”
文章大意：本文主要讲述了员工和他们的公司通过一日捐活动把慈善事业从他们的工作扩大到对社区的影响。
1．Why do the companies match the money that the workers donate？__B__
A．To earn more money for themselves.
B．To help more people in need.
C．To make up for their loss.
D．To attract more donators.
解析：细节理解题。由第二段的最后一句The companies then match the dollar value of each employee's donation which doubles the effect！可知，公司通过匹配员工捐赠的钱增加了它的影响，从而可以帮助更多的有需要的人。
2．The author develops Paragraph 4 by __A__.
A．making an explanation B．listing figures
C．giving examples D．analyzing causes
解析：推理判断题。作者在第四段把工人今年捐赠的钱和1997年以及去年捐赠的钱进行对比。因此可以推出作者使用了对比的方法组织这一段。
3．How much money did the companies raise last year？__D__
A．$ 4,445.　　　　 B．$ 1,039.
C．$ 97,697. D．$ 75,151.
解析：细节理解题。由第四段的employees from the three companies donated 1,039 hours，a 30 percent increase from the previous year！With the companies' match，they raised a total of $97,697，helping twenty-five charities...可知，今年公司筹集了$97,697，比去年增加了百分之三十，所以去年筹集了$75,151。故选D。
4．What can be inferred from Josh Lennax's words？__D__
A．Matching the dollar amounts makes the Day of Giving less successful.
B．The Day of Giving succeeds because of the employees' donation.
C．The Day of Giving succeeds due to the government's support.
D．More people are likely to benefit from the Day of Giving.
解析：推理判断题。由最后一段的People will donate more than they usually do，if they know that their $1 is actually $2——and find a much needed cause with lest expenses allowing the funds to get to those who can use them可知，如果人们知道了自己捐的一美元成了两美元，那么他们就会比原来捐的多，可能就会有更多的人从中受益。故选D。
Ⅴ.语法填空

文章大意：本文是一英语小故事。作者叙述了发生在自己身边的小故事，仅仅是因为自己的举手之劳让一位老太太幸福一天，老太太的微笑让作者幸福一天。送人玫瑰，手有余香。
1．解析：根据上下文，elderly lady在文中第一次出现，应用不定冠词，故填an。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A

There is an old Chinese proverb that states“One generation plants the trees；another gets the shade”，and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters.The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing.If close，the relationship can be similar to friendship.However，the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship.These characteristics include the hierarchy (等级) and unconditional love，which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.
Marina,27 years old，says，“I love spending time with my mom，but I wouldn't consider her my best friend.Best friends don't pay for your wedding.Best friends don't remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don't tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn't mean that the mother and daughter relationship can't be very close and satisfying.
While some adult relationships are still troubled，many find them to be extremely rewarding.This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which in creases the likelihood of shared companionship.Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions.Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.
Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends，but for better or worse，the mother and daughter relationship is permanent，even if they aren't speaking for some unfortunate reason.The mother and child relationship is still closer than any other.There is not an equal relationship.Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother's emotional well-being.It isn't that they don't care deeply about their mothers.It's just that they shouldn't be burdened with their mother's well-being.
The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other.Mothers never stop being mothers，which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness.Mother always “trumps” friends.
文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。作者认为，母女之间虽然有许多共同之处，她们的关系也可以很亲密，但不会成为最好的朋友，因为母女关系不同于朋友关系，它独具特点。
1．The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably means“__B__”．
A．differ　　　　　 B．prevent
C．benefit D．change
解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段最后两句可知，母女关系的特性中包含的辈分差别所带来的不同程度的责任、义务及无条件的爱使得她们不会成为最好的朋友。后一句是对前一句的解释，说明为何母女关系不同于朋友关系。 由此可知，画线词“preclude”意为“妨碍”。故选B项，意为“妨碍，阻止”。
2．What do we know from the passage？__C__
A．The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.
B．A mother's love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.
C．The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends' friendship.
D．Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends，but for better or worse，the mother and daughter relationship is permanent...”可知，友谊关系可以停止，但母女关系会永远存在下去。 由此可知C项正确，即母女关系超越了友谊。
3．The author proves his statements mainly by__B__.
A．listing data B．giving explanations
C．quoting sayings D．making examples
解析：写作手法题。通读全文可知，文章第一段是中心段。提出了作者的观点，即母女关系不同于友谊。第二段引用Marina的观点说明这种不同性；第三至五段分别从母女关系中的共性因素、不同责任因素、母爱因素阐明了引起这种不同性的原因。故选B项，意为“解释说明”。
4．What is the best title for the passage？__D__
A．How to be a good mother and daughter
B．Who is a mother's best friend?
C．A friend in need is a friend indeed
D．Can a mother be a daughter's best friend?
解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文属于议论文，第一段是中心段，提出了作者的观点，即母女关系不同于朋友关系。其余各段分别从不同角度论证了这个观点。 因此答案选D项，与文章中心一致。

(2017·全国卷Ⅱ)
I first met Paul Newman in 1968，when George Roy Hill，the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid，introduced us in New York City.When the studio didn't want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well known as Paul—he stood up for me.I don't know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.
The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference，we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV.We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play.Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous，aggressive，and making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection.Those were also at the core(核心)of our relationship off the screen.
We shared the brief that if you're fortunate enough to have success，you should put something back—he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill，and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly，but sharing that brought us together.We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.
I last saw him a few months ago.He'd been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was，and we didn't talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words.
文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了与Paul的相识及与其建立友谊的原因，虽不常见面但是却因共同的信念而保持着友谊。
5．Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first？__C__
A．Paul Newman wanted it.
B．The studio powers didn't like his agent.
C．He wasn't famous enough.
D．The director recommended someone else.
解析：考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“When the studio didn't want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well known as Paul—he stood up for me”可知，摄影棚起初不愿意给作者角色的原因是想找一个与Paul一样著名的人物。故可知作者当时不够有名。该题选C项。
6．Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship？__D__
A．They were of the same age. B．They worked in the same theater.
C．They were both good actors. D．They had similar characteristics.
解析：考查推理判断。根据文章第二段中的“We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play.Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors”可知，作者与Paul之所以拥有持久的友谊是因为他们有相似的性格特征。故D项符合题意。
7．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to？__A__
A．Their belief. B．Their care for children.
C．Their success. D．Their support for each other.
解析：考查代词指代。根据第三段中的“We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success，you should put something back”可知，下文的内容是对the belief的解释，that引导同位语从句，解释说明the belief的具体内容。下文提到了我们并不经常见面，但是分享这个信念把我们带到了一起。故选A项。
8．What is the author's purpose in writing the text？__B__
A．To show his love of films. B．To remember a friend.
C．To introduce a new movie. D．To share his acting experience.
解析：考查写作目的。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段中的“I first met Paul Newman in 1968”以及最后一段中的“I last saw him a few months ago”可知，该篇文章的写作目的是回忆一位朋友，所以选B项。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
The US airline industry is facing a new threat to its profits—heavier passengers, a report has found.According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention，the average US adults put on ten pounds (4.5kg) of weight during the 1990s.Transporting the extra weight cost airlines an extra $ 275 million in fuel costs in 2000，the report says.
Earnings at airlines have already been under pressure due to the decreasing demand and a record increase in the price of crude oil(原油)．In the US，a number of airlines have gone bust and others are struggling to survive in an even more competitive market place.While it is relatively easy to check the weight of a traveler's luggage and charge those that burst limits，it is much harder to regulate a person's waistline.Some firms have toyed with the idea of (jokingly suggested) charging overweight travelers for two seats，but it is not a practice that has taken off industry-wide.
Last year，the American Federal Aviation Administration increased the average passenger weight they use to calculate aircraft loads by ten pounds.Since then，crude oil prices have hit record levels，with many firms responding by raising the fuel charge they add to ticket prices.
The rising level of obesity(肥胖)in the US and in Europe has prompted government health campaigns and harsh criticism of a number of food firms.Restaurant chain McDonald's has taken the main force of the attack，and has in recent months reworked its menu to include healthier options，which has helped lift profits.
As with fast food restaurants，timely adjustment may be the best solution presently for American airlines.The prediction by experts，however，is that humans are set to become bigger.

2．The underlined word “those” (Paragraph 2) most probably refers to __B__.
A．overweight travelers　　　　 B．overloaded luggage
C．travelers' waistlines　　　　 D．extra large seats
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段While it is relatively easy to check the weight of a traveler's luggage and charge those that burst limits，it is much harder to regulate a person's waistline.可知，检查乘客的行李重量并对超重部分收费相对比较容易，但想要控制乘客的腰围就困难多了，故应该选B。
3．What measures did many American airlines take in response to the record increase in the price of crude oil last year？__B__
A．They increased the average passenger weight when calculating aircraft loads.
B．They brought up their ticket prices.
C．They charged obese travelers for two seats.
D．They overcharged travelers' luggage.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段Since then，crude oil prices have hit record levels，with many firms responding by raising the fuel charge they add to ticket prices.可知，因为当时原油价格创下了历史新记录，作为应对措施，很多公司不得不提高机票价格中的燃料费用。
4．What does the last sentence of the passage imply？__A__
A．Airline profits in America will be under even greater pressure.
B．The population of obese people will increase rapidly.
C．American airlines will close down.
D．Fast food restaurants will be forced to change their menus.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段The prediction by experts，however，is that humans are set to become bigger.可知，然而，据专家预测，人类注定会越来越胖，这会对航空公司的利润空间形成不断增加的压力。

A

In the 1970s, a typical Chinese student in the US was there for a master's or doctoral degree.They were then followed by students getting their undergraduate degrees.Now，Chinese are the largest international group in US kindergarten-through-12th grade programs of study.
Statistics show that 34,578 Chinese students are studying in primary and secondary schools in the US, or 52 percent of all international students there.When Tangwei first arrived at the school in 2009, the 18-year-old found that South Koreans were in the largest number at their boarding house.Then Chinese students took the place, as China has increased in affluence and economic success.
Ma Shuheng, a senior at the high school, said, “Not only is the number increasing，the standard for admission is higher, too.” He said that when he first applied in 2012，there was hardly any limit to entry.“Now, most students who get in have a 90-plus TOEFL score，” he added, referring to the Test of English as a Foreign Language.
One of the reasons for many Chinese students studying in US schools is to escape the Gaokao, China's national entrance examination, and the fierce competition that comes with it.The other motivation is to get prepared for US colleges.“More younger Chinese students choose to go to US high schools, as more parents believe that this leads to a better education if their kids finally choose to go to US universities and colleges，” said Yu Haoyang, founder of Global Intellect Consulting in Beijing.“They believe that US high schools offer better English-language and cultural training, and it is easier for their kids to master these skills and become more competitive，” she said.

2．The underlined word “affluence” ( Para.2 ) is closest in meaning to__A__.
A．wealth B．population
C．education D．environment
解析：考查的是考生猜测词义的能力。根据与之并列的名词“economic Success”以及一般常识可以推知，此处affluence指代的是“财富(wealth)”，因为随着国家经济的增强，国民的收入增加，赴国外留学的人数自然会增长。
3．What can we learn about the students who expect to study in the US now？__C__
A．They have made a large amount of money.
B．They can be admitted in the American school after the application.
C．They need to get high marks in TOEFL.
D．They should prepare as early as possible.
解析：考查的是考生对文章细节的理解能力。根据第三段中“Now，most students who get in have a 90-plus TOEFL score...”可知，如今学生想要到美国学习，需要很高的托福(TOEFL)分数。
4．More Chinese parents choose to send their children at a young age to the US because__D__.
A．the fierce competition in the Gaokao does harm to their children
B．only in the US can their children get a better language training
C．the middle school education in America is much better than that in China
D．their children can be better prepared for US universities
解析：考查的是考生对文章细节的理解能力。根据最后一段中“More younger Chinese students choose to go to US high schools，as more parents believe that this leads to a better education if their kids finally choose to go to US universities and colleges...”可知，越来越多的中国父母在孩子还小的时候就把他们送到美国学习，主要是想为日后上美国大学提前做好准备。

C．They are treated very well here. D．They never get tired of the sights.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Last week, a British woman posted an image of a dress on the social media site Tumblr.Some people looking at the image thought it was blue with black lace(饰带)．Others argued that it was white with gold lace.That's a huge difference!
One website that conducted a survey about the dress' color received more than 28 million responses—with white and gold getting the most votes.Even famous people like Taylor Swift took to Twitter to weigh in.She thought the dress looked blue and black.Guess what? According to the store based in Birmingham，England, which designed the article of clothing, the singer was right.
What could cause so many people to see such different things? Scientists have come up with a few theories about how our eyes perceive (感知) color.
The retina, a layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye, contains millions of light-detecting cells.Some of these cells, called cones (视锥细胞), sense colors, like red, blue, and green.Duje Tadin, a scientist, said the number of blue cones a person has may determine how well they see that color.
“If you don't have very many blue cones, you may see the dress as white，” says Tadin.“If you have plenty of blue cones, you may see more blue.”
The lighting conditions when the photo was taken could also have been a reason for the confusion.Some people's eyes may be more sensitive to different color hues (色调), like blue or yellow, which made up the background light lighting up the dress.Their brains may adjust for this by dialing down these shades of color when looking at the dress.This can change how the person perceives the dress' color.
No matter what the explanation is, the garment has created quite a stir.People have started buying the $ 77 dresses eagerly.Last Friday, the 300 dresses available for sale online sold out in just half an hour.
文章大意：本文是说明文。文章解释了一条裙子的颜色为什么让人困惑。
1．The singer Taylor Swift __C__.
A．designed the dress
B．didn't care about the dress
C．was right about the dress's color
D．thought the dress looked white and gold
解析：细节理解题。由第二段末的“...the singer was right.”可知。
2．According to Duje Tadin's theory, people who thought the dress was blue with black lace __C__.
A．have blue eyes B．have fewer cones
C．have many blue cones D．have many black cones
解析：推理判断题。 由第五段末的“If you have plenty of blue cones，you may see more blue.”可推断，那些认为裙子是蓝色加黑色饰带的人有很多蓝色视锥细胞。
3．What can we infer from Paragraph 6？__D__
A．Cones may adjust for the lighting conditions.
B．The image of the dress was taken during the day.
C．Most people are sensitive to different color hues.
D．The background light influenced how the dress looked.
解析：推理判断题。第六段讲到为裙子拍照时的背景光也可能给人们识别裙子的颜色带来困惑。据此可推断，背景光影响了人们如何看待裙子的颜色。
4．The author writes the text mainly to __D__.
A．introduce the magic dress
B．market the dress to readers
C．analyze the influence of the dress
D．explain what caused the confusion
解析：写作意图题。 由第三段中的“What could cause so many people to see such different things？Scientists have come up with a few theories...”及下文有关解释可推断，本文主要是为了解释人们对这条裙子的颜色感到困惑的原因。

Text 10
M：A man walked into the front door of a bar. He was obviously drunk. After seating himself by a table, he asked the waiter for a drink. The waiter politely told him that he has already had plenty of drink, and he will not serve him any more. The drunken man was angry, and then he walked out of the bar slowly. Five minutes later, the drunken man walked inside the same bar from the side door and asked for a drink again. Then the waiter still politely refused to serve him. The waiter asked whether he should call a taxi for him. The drunken man looked at the waiter for a moment with great surprise, and showed himself back out of the side door. Three minutes later, the same drunken man walked through the back door of the bar. He ordered a drink in a low voice. The waiter came over and told him that he intended to call a policeman. The surprised drunken man looked at the waiter and cried out, “Man, how many bars do you work at？”
第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(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。
A

Many of us have heard of the saying：everything is possible if you can just believe.But few of us really know the power of faith and perseverance.South African swimmer Natalie du Toit embodies those virtues.
Du Toit，became the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics(残奥会)in Beijing.Although she finished 16th in the tough 10 km marathon in the able-bodied Games，she has collected three golds in the Paralympics so far.
One of the most successful disabled athletes of all time，Natalie du Toit was already a promising swimmer when she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident in 2001，at just 17.
“There are a lot of dark moments，”du Toit said.“There are some days when I cry.But I try to remember that better days are ahead.You just go on.”
Within a few months，she was back in the swimming pool.
She still competes and still succeeds.The only difference is that she has switched to longer events—from 200 m and 400 m individual medley to 800 m and 1,500 m freestyle—to make up for her loss of speed with only one leg.But she made no adjustment to her mental outlook(精神面貌)．
“Going out in the water，it feels as if there's nothing wrong with me.It doesn't matter if you look different.You're still the same as everybody else because you have the same dream.”
She is the owner of many world records，and she also won gold when competing against able-bodied swimmers in the 1,500 m freestyle at the All Africa Games in 2007.
But there is no magic recipe for success.It all comes down to hard work and determination.“She is stubborn，which is good and bad，”said her coach Karoly Von Toros.“Good for the swimming，but bad for the coach.”
There is a poem that hangs on her wall that reads:
The tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goals；
The tragedy of life lies in not having goals to reach for.
21．Natalie du Toit is a vivid example that __A__.
A．you are what you believe
B．your biggest enemy is yourself
C．results are not so important as the process
D．you must set reasonable goals or you will fail
解析：推理判断题。本文第一句就是全文的主题句，Natalie du Toit的事例正说明了这一点。
22．The underlined word in the first paragraph means __C__.
A．makes B．creates
C．represents D．introduces
解析：词义猜测题。根据文意可知，embody应为“表现，体现”之意，故选C项。
23．According to the text，Natalie du Toit became __D__.
A．the first athlete to compete with able-bodied swimmers in the world
B．the youngest disabled swimmer to break the world record in the 1,500 m freestyle
C．the youngest disabled swimmer to collect three golds in a single Paralympics
D．the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知答案。
24．Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Natalie du Toit？__C__
a．She won gold at the All Africa Games.
b．She finished 16th in the tough 10 km marathon in the Olympics.
c．She adjusted herself to long events.
d．A motorcycle accident disabled her.
A．cdab　　　 B．dcba 　　　
C．dcab　　　 D．dacb
解析：细节理解题。由第三段可知主人公2001年时因车祸失去了一条腿，之后她转向对速度要求相对较低的800米和1,500米游泳赛。由第八段可知a发生在2007年，第二段中提到她在2008年北京奥运会获得了10千米马拉松比赛第16名。由此可知C项正确。
B
(2017·浙江)
Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids.According to a new survey(调查) by the National Sleep Foundation,51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights，even though they have to get up early.Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day，and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.
How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age.Babies need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours.For most school-age children，ten hours is ideal(理想的)．But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours.And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV.
“More children are going to bed with TVs on，and there are more opportunities(机会) to stay awake，with more homework，the Internet and the phone，” says Dr.Mary Carskadon，a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School.She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep.Other experts say part of the problem is chemical.Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers' bodies develop adult characteristics，but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.
Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers，some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to.Three years ago，schools in Edina，Minnesota，changed the start time from 7：25 am to 8：30 am.Students，parents and teachers are pleased with the results.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章指出美国孩子睡眠缺乏的问题，列举了不同年龄段的孩子所需的睡眠时间、青少年晚睡的原因以及学校为解决青少年的睡眠问题所采取的措施。
25．What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on？__A__
A．American kids' sleeping habits.
B．Teenagers' sleep-related diseases.

解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段列举的一系列数字可知，国家睡眠基金会对一定年龄段孩子的睡眠习惯进行了调查，这也呼应了本段第一句“Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids.”，故选A项。
26．How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day？__C__
A．7 hours. B．8 hours.
C．10 hours.　　　　 D．18 hours.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段第四句“For most school-age children，ten hours is ideal(理想的)．”可知选C项。
27．Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon？__B__
A．They are affected by certain body chemicals.
B．They tend to do things that excite them.
C．They follow their parents' examples.
D．They don't need to go to school early.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句“More children are going to bed with TVs On，and there are more opportunities to stay awake，with more homework，the Internet and the phone..，”以及第二句“...these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep.”可知，孩子们在睡觉前看电视、写作业、上网或打电话都容易让他们产生兴奋感而不愿意睡觉，故选B项。
C

I had made up my mind a long time ago that I would not give a homeless person money，because I could never be sure what that money would be used for.Instead，I decided，I would buy them a sandwich，a cold drink on a hot day，a cup of coffee，whatever I could manage.
I was out recently and saw a homeless man outside of a Starbucks.So I dropped another few coins in and went into the Starbucks.I decided I would buy this man lunch.I bought a sandwich and soda.
Just as I was leaving the store，two policemen were approaching the man.Obviously the shop owners had complained of his wandering and the police were there to draw him away from the storefronts.Just as they were about to wake him，I asked one of the officers if it was all right if I just gave the man something before he went.I was not sure why I asked the permission but the policeman said sure and I just left the bag in the man's cart，got in my car and drove off.
As I was driving off I remember thinking.“I hope people saw that” .Then I had to seriously ask myself why I hoped people had seen me give the man a sandwich from Starbucks.Was it because I wanted people to think，“ She's such a nice person！”？ Why did I hope others had seen me do it? I continued to wonder this all evening.
The next morning it came to me.I wanted people to have witnessed that small act of kindness so that I would receive credit and praise but so that they might be inspired to do the same and in so doing that others still would witness their acts of kindness.Thus the whole spirit of pity and giving would be lasting.
文章大意：本文作者是个乐于助人的人，她不仅自己热心帮助无家可归的人，还希望自己的实际行动能感染到更多的陌生人，呼吁大家都能伸出援助之手。
32．The underlined word “Starbucks” in the second paragraph is the name of a __A__.
A．shop B．bookstore
C．bank D．man
解析：词义猜测题。根据后文．..went into the Starbucks.I decided I would buy this man lunch.I bought a sandwich and soda.可知选A。Starbucks译名“星巴克”，是咖啡店的名字。
33．When the author saw the homeless man，he was __D__.
A．begging outside B．buying goods
C．staying awake D．falling asleep
解析：细节理解题。从第三段Just as they were about to wake him两名警察正要叫醒流浪汉，可知当作者刚见到流浪汉的时候，他正在睡觉。
34．What's the purpose of the passage？__B__
A．To show the author is great.
B．To encourage people to help others.
C．To introduce an experience that changed the author.
D．To call on people not to give money to a homeless man.
解析：推理判断题。从第五段I wanted people to have witnessed that small act of kindness...和Thus the whole spirit of pity and giving would be lasting.可推知作者希望自己的举动能鼓励他人乐于助人。
35．The author can be best described as __C__.
A．bad-tempered B．hard-working
C．kind-hearted D．self-confident
解析：推理判断题。本文主要讲述了作者帮助流浪汉的经历，由此可见作者是个乐善好施的热心肠。

If something that you're doing doesn't challenge you，then it doesn't change you.We all need some normal stress in our lives，after all.__36.G__So challenge the following limits：
1.Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously.
If you're a salesman，and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone，now，instead of being scared and thinking you'll fail，spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call.__37.A__But don't stop on the first try! Eventually，you can look at fear in the eyes and say，“Go on! I'm not scared！”
2.__38.F__
Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this.Some examples might be cooking，sewing，painting and so on.Apart from helping you challenge yourself，taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.
3.Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.
__39.C__A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself.Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight，but also make you feel better about yourself.
4.Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.
Don't just limit yourself to your fellow travelers—try to connect with the service staff.You never know what kind of people they're going to be.Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class.__40.E__

38．解析：根据下文可知作者建议学习一个与自己的工作无关的“爱好”，在做那件事情的时候要能放松压力。选项F与“爱好”有关，可以作为本段的主题句。
39．解析：根据后一句“在你所在的社区简单地跑九分钟就会给你创造奇迹”，可知应选C“没有必要去健身房”。

M：Good evening, everyone. Today, I want to tell you something about smokeless tobacco and cigarettes. It is true that many people, think smokeless tobacco isn't as bad as cigarettes. One study said that 77 percent of kids thought cigarette smoking was very harmful, but only 40 percent thought smokeless tobacco was very harmful. The truth is that smokeless tobacco use is connected with all sorts of problems. First of all, it does harm to your health. Smokeless tobacco can cause bleeding gums，and hurt of the mouth that never heal. Eventually, you might end up with cancer. What's more, smoking is very hard to quit. Tobacco is tobacco, it contains nicotine, and nicotine is addictive! And smoking is disgusting, too. It stains your teeth a yellowbrown colour. It gives you bad breath. It can make you dizzy, give you the hiccups, and even make you throw up. So, for your health, why not give up smoking?
第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40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。
A

We use robots for tasks like building cars and sorting mail, but can we use them as stand-up comedians (单口相声演员) in the future？One robot called RoboThespian has been trying out some jokes.
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London organized RoboThespian's performances to test whether it could be as funny as a human.
The electronic comedian went on stage for a show with British comedians Andrew O'Neill and Tiernan Douieb, performing the same jokes as Douieb but with a few changes—it is a robot after all.The robot has some advantages over human comedians, too.
“We used computer vision and audio software to notice the response of each audience member, something a human comedian cannot do，” said Kleomenis Katevas, the robot's programmer.“The machine used this information to decide who to look at and which gestures to use.”
The robot also has other advantages over human comedians.Impressions of other people and sounds are very popular ways for performers to get laughs, and according to New Scientist reporter Celeste Biever, the robot can perform recorded sound by simply playing it back.It can also act out programmed pieces from Shakespeare or just about anything else.
“Another of the robot's advantages is more surprising.Because I feel less empathy (同感) for RoboThespian than for the human comedians，I feel more relaxed during his performances，” Biever added.And of course, RoboThespian is unlikely to feel as nervous as other comedians, or be affected too badly by an audience member shouting at it.
The Queen Mary researchers say they're most interested in how audiences can be part of live performances.So in the future, we may be watching robots performing exactly the show we want to see.Do you think it's time for the robot to write some more jokes?
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。伦敦玛丽皇后大学的研究人员组织了机器人RobeThespian的表演来测试它是否可以像人一样滑稽，并介绍了机器人表演的优势。

Robotic Puppy
Roll over，sit and fetch aren't commands normally given to a robot, but the smart toy company WowWee has developed a new way of owning a puppy.
CHIP (Canine Home Intelligent Pet) is a robotic dog with blue LED eyes and pointy ears and can sit，shake，dance and make all types of dog noises.It also has tracking capabilities to help locate its owner.“The beauty about CHIP is that it has its own thing going on，” said Sufer，CTO at WowWee.“It has its own life and own kind of intelligence.Even if you're not around，it's always doing something.”
CHIP uses wheels to get around and is loaded with sensors(传感器) that give it a 360-degree view to find its ball.The pup is Bluetooth enabled, which connects to a wristband worn by its owner.The wristband, similar to a watch, displays icons(图标) for different commands such as a thumb-up, which allows you to give your pup a digital belly rub.With its owner wearing a smart wristband, it can even follow him around the room.
“We worked on CHIP for about five to six months，” Davin Sufer, told dailymail. com, “We typically come up with a concept, model and product and get it on shelves within a year.” The company plans to start shipping units by next fall, which will allow them to load up the robotic dog with sensors and add many more animated responses per-owner interactivity.
The high-tech toy company made its debut (处女作)in 2004 by releasing the 1.5 foot RoboSapien，which sold millions of units.MiP, which hit shelves last year，is a seven inch tall robot covered in white with black accents.Users can direct it, change its emotions and make it dance to any song on your iPad.It's loud, fast and active.
About 15 years ago, a company called ToyQuest developed the first ever electronic robotic dog—Tekno，the Robotic Puppy.The company sold over seven million units in the first season and 40 million more during its original four years of production.Tekno was built with over 160 emotions and instructions，but most importantly offered consumers a quick look into the future.
文章大意：本文介绍了一种新的宠物机器狗。
25．According to Sufer, the amazing characteristic of CHIP is that __D__.
A．it is loaded with special sensors
B．it can make all kinds of dog noises
C．it has quick response to the commands
D．it can do something without instructions
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的It has its own life and own kind of intelligence.Even if you're not around，it's always doing something可知，D选项的意思符合题干的要求。
26．CHIP can follow its owner with the help of__B__.
A．a watch　　 B．a smart wristband
C．pointy ears D．blue LED eyes
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的最后一句With its owner wearing a smart wristband，it can even follow him around the room可知，要使用这种机器人的话就必须要用一个智能腕套。
27．From the passage, we can know __C__.
A．CHIP can be bought in the store now
B．WowWee introduced its first product last year
C．Tekno provided the bright future of the robotic puppy
D．MiP is the first company to develop the robotic puppy
解析：推理判断题。根据文章中最后一句Tekno was built with over 160 emotions and instructions，but most importantly offered consumers a quick look into the future可知，C选项的意思与文章吻合。

We use more than 20 million tons of sodium chloride (氯化钠)on our roadways every winter.That's about 13 times more salt than is used by the entire food processing industry.Salt lowers the freezing temperature of water and thus melts snow and ice.But its public safety benefits do come with some ecological drawbacks.
The biggest concern with road salt is how it affects water quality.The material doesn't just disappear when the snow and ice melts: It is washed away into lakes and streams or gets into groundwater supplies.Researchers recently found that, in the urban Twin Cities area, 70 percent of the salt applied to roads stays within the region's watershed (水源区)．Once it gets there, the pollution is difficult and expensive to remove.
Salty groundwater can make for salty drinking wells.That's a health issue for people on restricted-sodium diets and a taste problem for everyone else.When salt gets into lakes and streams, it can also harm plants and animals there.
Road salt can affect the environment in other ways，too.It can erode (腐蚀) soil and plants as far as 650 feet away.Roadsides can also turn into a sort of artificial salt lick (盐碱地) that would be attractive to animals.As a result, they run a higher risk of becoming road kill.Birds are common victims, as well.
So if salt is so problematic, why are we still using it? Because it's cheap.Alternative chemicals can be much more expensive, and they often require new spreading equipment.
As researchers continue to look for substitutes，there are plenty of ways that road crews can cut back on their salt usage.Pre-wetting the salt, for example, allows for more controlled application and better sticking power.Weather monitoring is key，too: Applying salt just before a storm hits, so that the snow can't adhere(附着) to the ground, is usually more efficient than waiting until after the snow has fallen.
文章大意：本文是议论文。文章论述了道路用盐对环境的负面影响以及减少道路用盐的方法。
28．How does road salt melt snow and ice？__D__
A．By changing the weather.
B．By raising their temperatures.
C．By raising the temperature of roads.
D．By changing the freezing point of water.
解析：细节理解题。由第一段中的“Salt lowers the freezing temperature of water and thus melts snow and ice.”可知，道路用盐通过降低水的冰点使冰雪融化。
29．The author is most worried about the influence of road salt on __B__.
A．traffic safety B．water quality
C．soil conditions　　　　 D．plants and animals
解析：细节理解题。 由第二段开头的“The biggest concern with road salt is how it affects water quality.”可知。
30．It's mentioned in the text that birds __C__.
A．often die because of eroded soil
B．often die because of polluted water
C．are often killed by vehicles on roads
D．are often killed by other animals in the fields
解析：推理判断题。由第四段的“Roadsides can also turn into...are common victims，as well...”可推断，鸟类常在舔食道路用盐时被路上的交通工具碾压致死。
31．What is the main idea of the last paragraph？__A__
A．How to use road salt more efficiently.
B．Researchers are looking for substitutes.
C．Road crews are monitoring the weather.
D．The advantages of alternative chemicals.
解析：段落大意题。由最后一段中的“...there are plenty of ways that road crews can cut back on their salt usage.”及下文列举的方法可知，本段主要讲如何用较少的道路用盐达到融化冰雪的效果，也就是如何更有效地使用道路用盐。
D

Science fiction writers create imaginary worlds.The way things work in your imaginary worlds will be based on actual science.So it's important for you to be familiar with the scientific principles and inventions that are related to your creation.For example, if you're writing about human living on a planet with zero gravity, then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.
Then you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary worlds.And you have to follow them.If humans are able to breathe underwater in Chapter 1, your character can't drown in a swimming pool in Chapter 3.The issue here is maintaining your readers' trust.That means the readers are willing to pretend along with you.If you start out with an ordinary detective novel and then throw in someone breathing underwater in the 6th chapter, you will pull the readers out of their imagination.The same thing happens if you change the rules halfway.
Part of your preparation work for the novel is to map out its worlds in great detail.You should decide the following issues：the history of the world, the geography, what possibilities it offers, how everything works in this new reality, and how all of these factors affect the way your characters think, feel, and react to things.You don't have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter.But you have to let readers know enough to understand what's going on.This also allows you to work out logical problems and contradictions before you start writing.
When you are writing, remember to make it feel real.You are inviting readers to visit a new world.They will want to be able to see, hear, feel, smell, and even taste what it's like.Whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet, help your readers feel like they're actually there.
32．What's the relationship between actual science and science fiction？__D__
A．Science fiction promotes the development of actual science.
B．Science fiction often reflects the development of actual science.
C．Actual science limits the imagination described in science fiction.
D．Actual science provides basic principles for science fiction.
解析：推理判断题。从第一段的第二句“The way things work in your imaginary worlds will be based on actual science.”即幻想世界事物产生的过程和方式基于现实科学，可知D项正确。
33．The second paragraph is mainly developed by __B__.
A．making comparisons B．giving examples
C．following the time order D．analyzing causes
解析：文章结构题。通读第二段内容可知，本段主要是通过举例的方式阐述了观点。
34．Which of the following statements is TRUE？__C__
A．It is necessary to do some scientific experiments before writing science fiction.
B．It is more difficult to write science fiction than ordinary detective novels.
C．Readers of science fiction actually pretend the writers' rules are true.
D．It is great to leave some contradictions in your science fiction.
解析：推理判断题。从第二段的第四句内容可知C项正确。
35．The passage is mainly about __D__.
A．how to do scientific research B．how to raise interest in science
C．what to expect from science fiction D．how to write science fiction
解析：主旨大意题。文章主要针对如何写好科幻小说提出了建议。

Dear Jack，
I'm just so glad to receive your regular letter.
I'm proud to tell you that you have made rapid progress in such a short time! Your letter is better written than the last one.Obviously, you have mastered how to use some Chinese characters freely.But it doesn't mean there's no problem at all.For instance, unlike English, we usually use “因为……所以…… ”in one sentence.So you should correct the fourth sentence in your letter.And I advise you to do more reading and try to use these sentence patterns in your writing as possible as you can.
I wrote a travel journal about my trip to a natural park yesterday.I'll send it to you later.If there are any mistakes in my writing，please tell me and correct them for me.I'm sure we will both make great progress this way.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours，

W：Hi，Jack. That's a nice computer you have.
M：Now all I have to do is figure out how to use it.
Text 2
M：I knew Laurie played the piano, but I didn't know she played the guitar.
W：Neither did I. It seems she just picked it up on her own over the summer.
Text 3
M：Mary, let's play basketball after school on Thursday.
W：I don't think it's a good idea. It's supposed to be snowy on that day. Maybe we can go to the movies.
M：OK.
Text 4
W：Excuse me. I wanted to see the White House.
M：Oh，well, you don't want this bus, anyway. It goes to Georgetown.
W：Oh, no. What should I do?
M：It's all right，though. Just get off at the next stop and take the subway.
Text 5
W：Well，I have a white blouse. It isn't fancy, but it looks nice with the skirt.
M：It doesn't have checks or flowers or anything like that, does it?
W：No，it's just white.
M：White? Great! That does match your skirt.
Text 6
W：Goodbye, darling! Good luck with the interview!
M：Thanks. I hope the trains are running on time. If the trains are delayed，I'll get a taxi. I don't want to be late.
W：Well, phone me when you can.
M：I will. As soon as I come out of the interview, I'll give you a ring. What are you doing today?
W：When I get to the office, I'll look in my diary. I don't think I'm doing much today.
M：Don't forget to pick up the children as soon as you get back from work.
W：I won't.
Text 7
W：Did you remember to get the tickets for the play?
M：Well，I remembered，but they were sold out. What do we do now? Shall we go out for a meal?
W：No. We did that last weekend.
M：What about a concert?
W：It's a waste of money going to a concert. I mean you can buy CDs and listen at home or on the radio.
M：I don't agree. I love seeing a live performance. There's always such a fantastic feeling in the audience，such an atmosphere. How about going down to the sports centre?
W：I don't feel the least bit energetic. I've had a very hard day and the last thing I want is to run around.
Text 8
M：So，what about your new roommate? What's she like?
W：Her name's Kim. She's really nice. Just really friendly.
M：That's good. So you get along really well?
W：Yeah，I feel like we have a lot in common. Just one thing, she's pretty talkative. She's always telling me about her work and complaining about her boyfriend.
M：Huh. But at least she's not mean.
W：No，she isn't mean at all.
M：Well，I'd rather have a roommate who is talkative but not mean.
W：But it's not easy to study when she's home because, you know, her friends are always calling and coming over. She has so many friends.
M：She sounds incredibly sociable and popular.
W：Yeah. Actually, she works for an ad agency. I'm always getting free tickets for concerts and things from her. So，it's worth listening to all her problems.
M：Yeah.
Text 9
M：Excuse me. Can you tell me where I can find a cheap hotel?
W：Certainly. There are a few around here, but the nearest and one of the nicest is just around the corner. It's called the Euro Hotel. Would you like me to phone to see if they have a room?
M：No，that's OK. I'll just wander around there myself. Ah! Another thing. I need to change some travellers' cheques, but I don't know what time the banks close.
W：They close at 7 o'clock in the evening.
M：Thanks. This is a very pretty town，isn't it? It looks terribly old. Do you have any idea how old this town is?
W：Yes，it was founded in the 13th century.
M：Really? As old as that? Wow! Well，I'd better get going. Oh, I'm not sure if we're near the centre of the town, because I've only just arrived.
W：Yes, this square out here is just about the centre.
M：Thanks for your help. I'll go to... Oh，sorry，I can't remember which hotel you suggested.
W：The Euro Hotel.
M：OK. Thanks. Bye.
Text 10
M：So do you mind telling me the whole thing?
W：Well，actually, you know, Cathy didn't tell us anything about this. The first we knew about it was when the paper phoned us up and asked for an interview. Before they came, we knew nothing about it. Cathy had said she'd be staying with a friend in London for the weekend, and they would go shopping, go sightseeing and doing some sports together, and she would bring some presents for us. She'd phoned us on her arrival—as we thought—and we were expecting her back on Sunday evening. To get the call like that out of the blue was terrible. Did we know that our daughter was sailing around the Mediterranean with a bunch of drug-crazed rock musicians? How old was she? How could we let the paper have a school photo to put in Monday's edition? It was a young guy and he went on and on—I mean，he must have known that he was breaking bad news to us, but he just didn't care. I didn't know why he was very excited when he was telling us the news.
第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(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。
A

The Portuguese man-o-war(僧帽水母), commonly called the blue bottle in Australia, is another stinging jellyfish (水母)．It is widely seen throughout the warmer seas of the world，especially in the Australian summer months in shallow, coastal waters.Besides, it is not uncommon to find thousands of Portuguese man-o-war floating in groups off the popular surfing beaches in Queensland，Australia.
Actually，the blue bottle is not a single sea animal，but consists a large colony of smaller marine organisms(有机体)．It is a large, gas-filled, bladder-like(胆状物)blue float, which can be up to 30 centimeters in length and rise above the water as much as 15 centimeters.The float has a crest which is used much as a sail to push the colony across the water when the wind blows.
Groups of polyps are attached to the underside of the blue bladder，and very long tentacles(触手) extend from each of the polyps.Each of the tentacles has stinging cells that are capable of killing fish up to 10 centimeters long.The poison from the stinging cells causes breathing problems and muscle weakness, and it is through these actions that the blue bottle catches and kills its victims.
Although the sting from the blue bottle is not as deadly to humans as the box jellyfish, a person who comes into contact with a blue bottle will still suffer a lot.The sting can cause serious side effects including fever, shock and breathing problems.The severe pain from the sting may last about two hours, and depending upon treatment, the pain will usually disappear in seven hours.The usual, quick but effective first aid treatment for the sting from a blue bottle is to pour vinegar over the area of the sting and over the tentacles, before removing the tentacles from the skin.
21．How does the Portuguese man-o-war get its name blue bottle？__C__
A．From the blue ocean it lives in.
B．From the sea plants it feeds on.
C．From the colour and shape of its body.
D．From the polyps that are attached to it.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“It is a large，gas-filled，bladder-like(胆状物)blue float...”可知，僧帽水母是一种大型的，蓝色的充满气体的胆状浮游物，由此可知blue bottle这个名字应该是来自这种海洋生物的颜色和外形。
22．Compared with box jellyfish, the blue bottle__D__.
A．doesn't like attacking human beings
B．prefers to live in a colder environment
C．can't be found off the beaches in Queensland
D．is not as harmful to humans as box jellyfish
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，人类有时也会受到僧帽水母的攻击，因此A项错误；根据第一段的“It is widely seen throughout the warmer seas of the world...”可知，僧帽水母喜欢的是温热的环境，因此B项错误；根据第一段的最后一句可知C项错误；因此正确答案为D项，其依据在末段的“Although the sting from the blue bottle is not as deadly to humans as the box jellyfish...”可知箱水母对人类的侵害是致命的，而僧帽水母不是。
23．The blue bottle catches and kills its victims because __D__.
A．its victims are weaker in strength than the blue bottle
B．it can swim faster than most of its victims
C．it breathes out poisonous gases from its cells
D．the poison it gives off makes its victims unable to escape
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的“The poison from the stinging cells causes breathing problems and muscle weakness，and it is through these actions that the blue bottle catches and kills its victims.”可知，僧帽水母的细胞中释放出的毒素会让它的猎物出现呼吸困难和肌肉无力，这样它们就无法逃脱，只能等死了。
24．If a man is stung by the blue bottle，he __A__.
A．will suffer from a sharp severe pain
B．may stop breathing in seven hours
C．can only go to the hospital to get treated
D．should drink some vinegar to reduce pain
解析：细节理解题。根据末段的“The severe pain from the sting may last about two hours...”可知，虽然僧帽水母不会使人致命，但是被它刺伤后，人会感到剧痛。

Many people say dolphins are very intelligent.They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly.But are they smart like humans or more than cats or dogs? Dolphins use their brains differently from people.But scientists say dolphin intelligence and human intelligence are similar in some ways.How?
Fact 1：Talk to me
Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”．The name is a special whistle.Each dolphin chooses a specific whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday.Actually, scientists think dolphins, like people, “talk” to each other about a lot of things, such as their ages，their feelings, or finding food.And, like humans，dolphins use a system of sounds and body languages to communicate.But understanding their conversations is not easy for humans.No one speaks dolphin's language yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.
Fact 2：Let's play
Dolphins are also social animals.They live in groups, and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun—just like people.In fact，playing together is something only intelligent animals do.
Fact 3: Fishermen's helper
Dolphins and humans are similar in another way：both make plans to get something they want.In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an interesting strategy to get food.When fish are near a boat, dolphins show signs to the fishermen to put their nets in the water.Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish.What is the advantage for the dolphins in doing so？They get to eat some of the fish.
文章大意：这篇短文重点介绍了海豚的生活习性及其不同于其他动物的特点。它们一般集体活动，是哺乳动物，它们通过声音彼此交谈，也具有人类的情感，并且会像人类一样有计划地做某些事情。
28．What does a dolphin often use as its “name”？__B__
A．A body language.　　　　 B．A special whistle.
C．Its feeling.　　　　 D．Its age.
解析：细节理解题。根据Fact 1中Like humans，every dolphin has its own“name”．The name is a special whistle.可知每一只海豚都有代表自己的一种特别的哨子的声音，故选B。
29．Why do dolphins join others from different groups？__C__
A．To learn to “talk”．　　　　 B．To meet their families.
C．To play games.　　　　 D．To find food.
解析：细节理解题。根据Fact 2中They live in groups，and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun—just like people.可知海豚像人类一样为了玩游戏和找乐趣加入其他的群体，故选C。
30．How do dolphins help fishermen catch fish？__D__
A．By playing with other fish. B．By following fishing boats.
C．By leading the fish into the net. D．By showing signs to the fishermen.
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段dolphins show signs to the fishermen to put their nets in the water可知海豚通过发出信号告诉渔夫们撒网的地方，故选D。
31．What is the passage mainly about？__D__
A．Dolphins are smarter than humans.
B．Dolphins make friends with humans.
C．Dolphins teach humans to speak their language.
D．Dolphins and humans are similar in some ways.
解析：主旨大意题。本文通过举例说明在某些方面海豚与人类很相似。故选D。

“The noise made by boats for whale watching tourists may be causing communication problems for the animals，”British researchers said last week.
Whale watching is a popular tourist activity in places where groups of killer whales(虎鲸)live.Every day, dozens of boats filled with tourists go to watch the beautiful animals.Unfortunately, the engines of the boats make a lot of noise, and that may be causing problems for the whales, according to a report in the US science magazine Nature.
The whales travel in groups, and communicate with each other through sonic (声波的) calls that some scientists refer to as singing.The sounds of the boat engines may be creating too much background noise for the whales to be able to hear each other.
The researchers listened to recordings of whale calls made between 15 and 25 years ago, before whale watching became popular.These were compared to more recent recordings.
They found that the animals have started to sing for longer than they used to, like a person shouting to a friend across a noisy room.
It is believed that the whales are trying to communicate hunting or breeding information.Scientists said that, if this is prevented, the future of the world's whale population could be in danger.
“Animals become slow in mind and repeat themselves in noisy areas，” said Volker Deecke, a Canadian biologist.“They have to say things twice or three times in order to be understood.”
The killer whales studied were living off the coast of northwestern America.The number of killer whales in this area has been falling for several years, but scientists are not sure why.
32．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 mean？__B__
A．Singing to others.　　　　 B．Producing young.
C．Caring about the old.　　　　 D．Hunting for food.
解析：词义理解题。由第六段第二句可知，科学家说如果这件事情被阻止的话，世界上鲸的数量将会处于危险中，因此推断breeding指的是“繁殖”。
33．The passage mainly tells us __D__.
A．the problems of whale watching
B．how killer whales communicate with each other
C．the reduced population of killer whales caused by whale watching
D．hearing problems of the killer whales caused by whale watching
解析：主旨大意题。文章讲述了观鲸船的噪音给虎鲸的信息交流造成了麻烦。
34．Scientists believe that killer whales sing to __C__.
A．warn each other of dangers B．keep in the same group
C．send useful information D．enjoy themselves
解析：细节理解题。由倒数第三段可知，虎鲸“唱歌”是为了交流捕食或繁殖信息。
35．From the passage, we can feel that the author is __C__.
A．angry B．hopeful
C．worried D．disappointed
解析：推理判断题。文章介绍观鲸船的噪音给虎鲸的交流造成了困难，而且虎鲸数量在下降，科学家也不明白其中原因，因此显然作者对此感到“担忧”。

Freddy was an average __44.B__， but not an average person.He had the rare balance of fun and compassion(同情)．He would __45.D__ the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone's __46.A__.
Before the school year __47.D__， I gave the kids a special __48.B__， T-shirts with the words “Verbs Are Your __49.A__” on them.I had advised the kids that while verbs(动词)may seem dull, most of the __50.C__ things they do throughout their lives will be verbs.
Through the years, I'd run into former students who would provide __51.D__ on old classmates.I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his __52.A__ from high school and remained the same __53.C__ person I met forty years before .Once, while working overnight at a store, he let a homeless man __54.B__ in his truck.Another time, he __55.C__ a friend money to buy a house.
Just last year, I was __56.D__a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door.A woman __57.C__ the interruption and handed me an envelope.I stopped teaching and __58.A__ it up.Inside were the “Verbs” shirt and a __59.C__ from Freddy's mother.“Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving.He wanted you to have this.”
I told the story to the class.As sad as it was, I couldn't help smiling.Although Freddy was taken from us, we all __60.B__ something from Freddy.
文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己的学生Freddy的性格特征，以及多年后他的生活和工作状况，并说明了作者自己从他身上学到了一些东西。
41. A．built B．entered
C．decorated D．ran
解析：考查动词。在1973年，作者正在教小学。每天27个小孩进入“思想实验室”。enter“进入”，符合语境。build“建造”；decorate“装饰”；run“管理，经营”。
42. A．name B．rule
C．brand D．plan
解析：考查名词。根据下文的“Room 104”可知，“The Thinking Laboratory”是学生们选举出来的名字。name“名字”；rule“规则”；brand“品牌”；plan“计划”。故选A项。
43．A.small 　　　　 B．dark
C．strange 　　　　 D．dull
解析：考查形容词。Room 104这个名字被学生们选举换成The Thinking Laboratory，所以可判断出学生们认为Room 104这个名字太乏味了。dull“枯燥的，无趣的”，符合语境。故选D项。
44. A．scholar 　　　　 B．student
C．citizen 　　　　 D．worker
解析：考查名词。根据上文中的“I was teaching elementary school”可知，作者正在教小学，故可推知Freddy是一个普通的学生。故选B项。
45. A．speak 　　　　 B．sing
C．question D．laugh
解析：考查动词。根据下文中的“the loudest over fun”可知，Freddy对有趣的事情会笑得最大声。故选D项。
46. A．misfortune 　　　　 B.disbelief
C．dishonesty 　　　　 D.mistake
解析：考查名词。根据上文中的the saddest可知，Freddy对别人的不幸是感到最悲伤的。misfortune“不幸”；disbelief“不信，怀疑”；dishonesty“不诚实”；mistake“错误”。故选A项。

解析：考查名词。在学年结束前，给孩子们的应是礼物。故选B项。
49. A．Friends 　　　　 B．Awards
C．Masters 　　　　 D．Tasks
解析：考查名词。根据下文可知，作者认为尽管动词看起来是枯燥的，但是孩子们在一生中所做的大多数趣事就是动词。再结合选项可知，A项符合语境。
50. A．simple 　　　　 B．unique
C．fun 　　　　 D．clever
解析：考查形容词。由while可知，空处与dull形成对比，故选C项。simple“简单的”；unique“独特的”；clever“聪明的”。
51. A．assessments 　　　　 B．comments
C．instructions D．updates
解析：考查名词。根据语境可知，很多年来，作者偶然遇到以前的学生会给他提供一些他们老同学的最新消息，所以作者才了解到Freddy的一些情况。update“最新消息”，符合语境。assessment“评估，评价”；comment“评论”；instruction“指导，教导”。
52. A．graduation 　　　　 B．retirement

Dear Mr Principal，
__ I am a student of our school.I am writing to tell you something about our canteen service.
There are some problems to be solved.The most annoying one is the bad service of the workers.Moreover，it always takes us too much time to wait in queues to take our meals so there should be more serving windows.What's worse，the price of dishes is so high that we can't afford them.Besides these three points，there is not enough dishware to meet the needs of the increasing number of students.
Please help us solve the problems as quickly as possible.
Thanks for your consideration.
Yours sincerely，

Text 1
W：Did you have a nice weekend?
M：Yes. My brother and I played basketball on Saturday, and then we went to the movies. On Sunday I visited my friends.
Text 2
W：What can I do for you?
M：I need to cash this cheque.
W：Will you step over to the teller's window, please?
Text 3
M：Can you spare me some time?
W：What for? I'm not really busy now.
M：I've got this assignment from my maths teacher, but there is no way I can work it out.
W：Oh，then you will have to find someone else. Maths always gives me a headache.
Text 4
M：Excuse me, I'm looking for Central Park. Could you tell me how to get there?
W：Sure. Are you going by subway or by taxi?
M：What do you suggest?
W：I think you should go by subway. It's faster and cheaper.
Text 5
M：OK，let me get the facts.
W：Well，I was driving along Bay Avenue，and a dog ran out in front of my car.
M：A dog ran out in front of your car?
W：I had to stop really fast. And the car in back of me hit me, really hard.
Text 6
M：Good morning. Can I help you?
W：Yes，I'm looking for a very special gift for a very important person.
M：Is it for a gentleman or a lady?
W：A gentleman.
M：In that case, let me show you these wallets. And here are some very nice tie-clips.
W：Those watches look rather nice.
M：Err, yes. But the latest model isn't available, and it's important to have the latest model, don't you think so?
W：Not necessarily. I always say that style is more important than fashion.
Text 7
W：I'm the youngest of nine children. My eldest sister is still alive, aged 93 and there are 16 years between us. We were four girls, four boys, and then me.
M：Six out of the nine of you are still alive. How closely have you kept in touch over the years?
W：Very closely. For many years now we've had an annual family party for three generations. And the touching thing is that the two younger generations just love to come, and there are up to 35 of us that meet up，once a year，in one or other of the houses. We have this marvellous lunch and enjoy tea and snacks，and take lots of photographs. And we've now got baby twins that were handed round this time. All this sort of thing is marvellous.

M：I've just received these hotel details from Johnson. What do you think?
W：Well, the most convenient place seems to be Stone Kastell. Only thirteen kilometres from the airport.
M：But look how small the conference room is. It only holds forty people. And they only have three conference rooms. I think the best is this one, The Sunset.
W：Well，it certainly has a larger conference room than Stone Kastell. Six conference rooms—that's OK. The only thing is, The Sunset is the furthest out. It's forty kilometres from the airport. Why don't you like this one, La Guardia?
M：I do, it's just the price. Their facilities look great from the photos but it's definitely the most expensive.

W：Good morning and welcome to another Travellers' Tales. In this week's programme, I will interview John Adams. Welcome, John.
M：Thanks for having me on the show.
W：So John，which is the holiday you remember most?
M：Well，it's my holiday to Egypt four years ago. I was on a horse trip to see the Valley of the Kings. There were a group of us with this guide called Aziz—erm，the horses were his. We were high up in the hills, and suddenly my horse went crazy. It started biting the horse in front and then it ran off with me on its back. It really scared me. Finally, Aziz caught us. He said something into the horse's ear，and it stopped.
W：Why did it run off?
M：He told me later that it used to be his number one horse, the leader, but now it was number two because it was very old. The problem was that it hated being number two and always bit the new number one.
W：Interesting! Thank you so much for sharing this with us today，John.

M：Hello，everyone! Now listen up. I have a few things to remind you of before you go to your rooms. Firstly，you will be given a key and even though you are allowed to take it out with you，I think you should leave it at reception when you go out. And don't forget to lock your rooms ! OK? Next, always stay together in groups of three or four. You mustn't go anywhere alone. Alright? This afternoon we will go on a walking tour of the old town and then you will have an hour to discover the rest of the town. By the way, while you're there，you should try the local tea. It's delicious! Now, tomorrow morning, we have a guided tour of the perfume factory so we need to he up early. So you should get a good night's sleep tonight. OK, if you need any help, please call me! You now have one and a half hours to take a rest, but you must be back here in the hall at 2：45. That's all. I'm sure you'll all have a great time. Thank you.

A

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband unexpectedly died of a heart attack.About a week after his death，she shared some of her views with a classroom of students.
As the sunlight came in through the classroom windows and the class was nearly over，she moved a few things aside on the edge of her desk and sat down there.She paused and said，“Before class is over，I would like to share with all of you a thought that is unrelated to class，but which I feel is important.Each of us comes to this world to learn，share，love，appreciate and give.None of us knows when this fantastic experience will end.It can be taken away at any moment.”
Her eyes beginning to water，she went on：
“So I would like you all to make me a promise.From now on，on your way to school，or on your way home，find something beautiful to notice.It doesn't have to be something you see.It could be a scent of freshly baked bread from someone's house，or it could be the sound of the wind slightly rustling the leaves in the trees.”
The class was completely quiet.We all picked up our books and left the room silently.That afternoon，I noticed more things on my way home from school.
Take notice of something special you see on your way home today.Go barefoot on the beach at sunset.For as we get older，it is not the things we did that we often regret，but the things we didn't do.

A year ago August，Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan.His wife，Gerrie，was still working in the local school cafeteria，but work for Dave was scarce，and the price of everything was rising.The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years.Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$ 7,000，a legacy (遗产)from their neighbours Ish and Arlene Hatch，who died in an accident.“It really made a difference when we were going under financially.”says Dave.
But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighbouring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches.Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches' generosity.In some cases，it was a few thousand dollars；in others，it was more than $ 100,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money，more than $ 3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression，Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.They thrived on (喜欢)comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store，checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years，the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn't afford it.“Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything，”says their friend Sandy Van Weelden，“They could see things they could do to make you happier，and they would do them.”
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed.It was the Hatches' wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should enrich the whole community(社区) and lastf for generations to come.
Neighbours helping neighbours—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch's story.
25．Which of the following is true of the Hatches？__C__
A．They had their children during the Great Depression.
B．They left the family farm to live in an old house.
C．They gave away their possessions to their neighbours.
D．They helped their neighbours to find jobs.
解析：细节理解题。从文章的第二段可知Hatch夫妇把他们的钱全都赠给了他们的邻居们。故C项正确。
26．Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store？__B__
A．They decided to open a store.
B．They wanted so save money.
C．They couldn't afford expensive things.
D．They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章的第四段可知B项正确。
27．According to Sandy Van Weelden，the Hatches were __A__.
A．understanding　　　　 B．optimistic
C．childlike 　　　　 D．curious
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第五段最后一句“They could see things they could do to make you happier，and they would do them.”可知A项正确，他们是善解人意的。
28．What can we learn from the text？__D__
A．The community of Alto was poor.
B．The summer camp was attractive to the parents.
C．Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches.
D．The Hatches would like the neighbours to follow their example.
解析：推理判断题。根据文章的倒数第二段可知他们想让邻居们以他们为榜样。
C

When 19-year-old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation (基金会)，nobody understood what she was talking about.But Sophia knew just how important Make-A-Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends.We were interested in finding out more，so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.
Sophia told us that Make-A-Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980.“It's a charity(慈善机构)that helps children who have got very serious illnesses.Make-A-Wish helps children feel happy even though they are sick，by making their wishes and dreams come true，” Sophia explained.
We asked Sophia how Make-A-Wish had first started.She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris，who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman.Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris's dream come true—so，with everybody's help，Chris，only seven years old at the time，had been a“ policeman” for a day.“ When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true，they decided to try and help other sick children too，and that was the beginning of Make-A-Wish，”explained Sophia.
Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special，happy time.A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world.Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true.They do this either by providing things that are necessary，or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.
文章大意：本文为记叙文。题材为人物故事。讲述了一个19岁的女孩Sophia Giorgi在别人不理解的情况下去Make-A-Wish做志愿者。我们通过和她交谈了解到该基金会的成立和帮助人们实现梦想的行为。
29．Sophia found out about Make-A-Wish because her best friend had__A__.
A．benefited from it 　　　　 B．volunteered to help it
C．dreamed about it 　　　　 D．told the author about it
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句话“...because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends.(……因为这个特殊的组织曾经帮她一个好朋友实现了梦想。)”可知，因为她的朋友曾受益于这个组织，她对这个组织才有所了解。
30．According to Sophia，Make-A-Wish __A__.
A．is an international charity
B．was understood by nobody at first
C．raises money for very poor families
D．started by drawing the interest of the public
解析：细节理解题。第二段第一句话中worldwide(世界范围的)＝international(国际的)。故选A项。
31．What is said about Chris in Paragraph 3？__B__
A．He has been a policeman since he was seven.
B．He gave people the idea of starting Make-A-Wish.
C．He wanted people to help make his dream come true.
D．He was the first child Make-A-Wish helped after it had been set up.
解析：细节理解题。第三段第一句话是本段的中心句，紧接着就讲到了Chris的事例，所以是Chris给了人们成立这个基金会的想法。
D
(2017·江苏卷)
A new commodity brings about a highly profitable，fast-growing industry，urging antitrust(反垄断)regulators to step in to check those who control its flow.A century ago，the resource in question was oil.Now similar concerns are being raised by the giants(巨头)that deal in data，the oil of the digital age.The most valuable firms are Google，Amazon，Facebook and Microsoft.All look unstoppable.
Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up.But size alone is not a crime.The giants' success has benefited consumers.Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery.Far from charging consumers high prices，many of these services are free (users pay，in effect，by handing over yet more data)．And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves，too.
But there is cause for concern.The internet has made data abundant，all-present and far more valuable，changing the nature of data and competition.Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better.But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition，to be sold to other companies.Internet companies' control of data gives them enormous power.So they have a “God's eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond.
This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful.Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time，one of them would become great again.A rethink is required—and as a new approach starts to become apparent，two ideas stand out.
The first is that antitrust authorities need to move from the industrial age into the 21st century.When considering a merger(兼并)，for example，they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in.They now need to take into account the extent of firms' data assets(资产) when assessing the impact of deals.The purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new-born threat.When this takes place，especially when a new-born company has no revenue to speak of，the regulators should raise red flags.
The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have over data and give more to those who supply them.Companies could be forced to reveal to consumers what information they hold and how many money they make from it.Governments could order the sharing of certain kinds of data，with users' consent.
Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy.But if governments don't want a data economy controlled by a few giants，they must act soon.
文章大意：一种新的商品引发了高利润的、快速增长的产业，迫使反垄断管理者介入控制那些处于主导地位的公司。
32．Why is there a call to break up giants？__A__
A．They have controlled the data market.
B．They collect enormous private data.
C．They no longer provide free services.
D．They dismissed some new-born giants.
解析：考查细节理解。根据第二段的首句“Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up”可知，这种形势要求科技巨头解体。这种形势是指上文提及的那几家大公司垄断了数据市场，故本题答案为A。
33．What does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate？__C__
A．Data giants' technology is very expensive.
B．Google's idea is popular among data firms.
C．Data can strengthen giants' controlling position.
D．Data can be turned into new services or products.
解析：考查细节理解。从第三段可知，以谷歌公司为例，这些科技巨头发现了数据可以转变为新的服务，例如翻译和视觉识别，这些都可以卖给其他公司。因特网公司对于数据的控制赋予了他们巨大的权力，从而可以增强他们的控制地位。
34．By paying attention to firms' data assets，antitrust regulators could__B__.
A．kill a new threat B．avoid the size trap
C．favour bigger firms D．charge higher prices
解析：考查推理判断。根据第五段可知，反垄断机构在考虑兼并时，通常根据规模来决定何时进行干预，现在当评估这些交易的影响时，他们需要考虑到这些公司的数据资产的范围，再根据“The purchase price could...a new-born threat”可知，通过重视公司的数据资产，反垄断管理者可以避免规模陷阱。
35．What is the purpose of loosening the giants' control of data？__D__
A．Big companies could relieve data security pressure.
B．Governments could relieve their financial pressure.
C．Consumers could better protect their privacy.
D．Small companies could get more opportunities.
解析：考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段可知，放松网络服务商对于数据的控制，把更多的份额给数据提供者，从而让小公司也有机会发展。

W：We'll have to hurry if we don't want to miss the beginning of the play. It's already 7﹕30.
M：Well，it only takes 15 minutes to get to the theatre and the play doesn't begin until 8﹕00.

W：My dinner tastes kind of funny.
M：Then why don't you have the waiter bring you something else?
Text 3
W：I'm going swimming in the lake if it warms up outside today.
M：Me too. Unfortunately I think it's supposed to stay this cold all day.
Text 4
W：Am I doing this exercise correctly?
M：No，you have to keep your back straight.
W：Okay. How about this way?
M：That's better，but try to keep good form.
Text 5
W：Do you ever work overtime?
M：All the time，but we don't get paid more.
W：Why don't you talk it over with your boss?
M：I think I'll find some chance to do it.
Text 6
M：How can I help you，Miss?
W：Could you break a 20-dollar bill for me?
M：Sure. How do you want it?
W：Could I have two 5's and the rest in 1's?
M：Well, I have some 5's, but I don't have enough 1's. Are quarters fine with you?
W：Oh, that's even better! In that case, I won't have to worry about the small change for the bus later.
M: Here you go !
W：Thanks a million!
Text 7
M：Hi，are you being helped?
W：No, I'm not. I'm interested in some gloves.
M：All our gloves are here. What do you think of this pair here? They are made of silk.
W：Hm, they look nice, but I'd like to have something warm for the winter.
M：Maybe you would like heavy wool gloves. How about this pair?
W：I think that's what I want. How much are they?
M：They are forty dollars.
W：It's a little expensive. Do you think it's possible to get a discount?
M：Hm, since you like them so much, how about a 10 percent discount? That's the best I can offer.
W：That's good.
M：Is there anything else I can get for you，a pair of socks?
W：No, that should be it. Thank you.

M：We're going to eat out after work. Would you like to join us?
W：Thanks, but I think I'll pass.
M：That's not like you. I thought you worked hard and partied harder. You really knew how to enjoy yourself.
W：Hah, well, you're right. But, I've been saving up for some Olympics tickets.
M：But the 2008 Games are still a long way off. You don't even know how much the tickets will cost.
W：Are you kidding? The official ticketing website of the 2008 Olympic Games opened on March 8. The site lists the ticket prices for each event.
M：Boy，Beijing is well-prepared, Can I book tickets now?
W：Not yet. At present, the site only accepts ticket applications throughout China. Since you are an American...
M：Oh，no. They can't do this to me!
W：Haha, take it easy. Since you have a job and live here，you can buy any ticket you want.
M：That's good to know.

M：What's the matter, Sophie? You look worried.
W：Well，it's my car. It's in the garage again.
M：Really? What's wrong this time?
W：I don't know exactly. Something's wrong with the brakes，I think.
M：Well，at least that shouldn't cost you much to fix. Parts are cheaper for all the American cars like yours. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost?
W：He said he would call me later on today about the cost.
M：Watch out he doesn't try to take advantage of you.
W：What do you mean?
M：Well, some car mechanics, if they think that someone doesn't know much about cars, they might try to overcharge that person.
W：Maybe so. But I trust this man. He has done some work for me in the past and his prices seemed to be fair.
M：Oh，that's good to know. Maybe I'll try using him in the future. By the way, do you need a ride home after class today?
W：Thanks very much.

W：Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Alice Brown. As you know，we are holding some events during the school year on various cultural topics. I'm happy there is such a large crowd of both students and professors. Tonight we're lucky to have our guest, a famous man in the world of music. He began to play the piano at age 5. By the time he was 10, he was already writing and playing his own pieces. He is a graduate of a famous art school in New York City. Our guest has spent the last 45 years of his very successful career touring the world playing concerts. We are fortunate that he agreed to come and share some of his experiences with us. He has had many adventures along the way. Locked instruments, missed connections, no hotel room, locked concert hall and so on. He has played for all of the most well-known conductors，not only in North America，but all over the world. The title of his talk is “The concert tour—forty years on four continents”. Please join me and welcome Mr Daniel Robertson，one of the most famous pianists of our day.

Some time ago, a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping (包装) paper.
Money was tight and he became more upset when the child wasted the gold paper so as to decorate a box to put under a Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and said，“This is for you，Daddy.”
The father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction，but his anger flared again when he found the box empty.He spoke to her in a harsh manner，“Don't you know young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package？”
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said，“Oh，Daddy，it is not empty.I blew kisses into it until it was full.” The father was crushed.He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl and he begged her to forgive his unnecessary anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and it is told that the father kept the gold box by his bed for all the years of his life and whenever he was discovered or faced difficult problems, he would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us as human beings has been given a golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God.There is no more precious possession anyone can hold.

D．she got the gold wrapping paper without permission
解析：细节理解题。由第一段中的“expensive gold wrapping(包装)paper”和第二段中的“Money was tight”可知，对于这家人来说这些包装纸很贵。
22．When the little girl brought the gift box to her father，__B__.
A．the father was very cheerful
B．the father was very ashamed
C．the father was very natural in behavior
D．the father was very angry at the cheap gift
解析：细节理解题。由第四段第一句“The father was embarrassed...”可知本题选B项。
23．By saying “The father was crushed.” the author means that __C__.
A．the father started to be very rude to the daughter
B．the father was proud of his daughter's consideration
C．the father was very moved by the daughter's kindness
D．the father was sad about his daughter's waste of money

24．Through the last paragraph but one, the author intends to show __B__.
A．the daughter's sudden death
B．the meaning of his daughter's gift to him
C．the father's coldness leads to his misfortune

As soon as you are on your way to Eastern Europe，here are a few tips on what you should pack.In general, pack lightly，with only the most basic clothes.People dress casually(随便地)in Eastern Europe, so you don't need to bring along your smartest clothing.
At the risk of going against our own advice by weighing down your luggage, we suggest you consider bringing along the following things，which we found particularly useful in Eastern Europe.
Batteries: If your camera, flash, or other appliances run on batteries, bring enough supply along.Certain types of batteries don't exist in Eastern Europe, and those that do often don't last very long.
Calculators：Many travellers find it useful to figure out foreign exchange rates on a calculator.We suggest a credit card calculator that fits into your wallet or purse.
Cash：We have found it good to have a supply of small unit US bills( $1 and $ 5) to use in hard-currency (硬通货) stores, to buy international train tickets, etc..The hard-currency stores never seem to have the right change, and thus you may lose out without some “pretty cash” in hand.
Electric Current Adapters: If you bring any appliances，remember that the electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts C．，not the standard 110 volts of North America.A 110-volt appliance will soon burn out when attached to an uncharged 220-volt plug. Get in touch with the Franzus Company, 352 Park Ave，south，New York, NY10010(tel.212/889-5850), and ask for their booklet，“Foreign Electricity Is No Dark Secret”．
Language Tools：One of Europe's big challenges is communicating with the local people, since their language is so different from our own.To help overcome difficulties, you might buy phrase books before you go—you won't find them useful once you are in Eastern Europe.
If you are interested in learning an Eastern European language in more detail, we recommend the tape course produced by Audio Forum.In each course you listen to native speakers on a tape and follow along in a textbook.You can ask Audio Forum for their catalog(目录)at Broad St.Guilford, CT 06437 (tel.toll free 800，/243-1234)．
Money Belts: A money belt is especially helpful when you have many documents(证件)to carry around( as you always do in Eastern Europe)．The best one we found is made by Eagle Creek Travel Gear, 143 Cedros Ave.(P.O.box 651 ), Solona Beach, CA92075 (tel.619/755-9399, or toll free 800/874-9925)outside California.
Traveller's Checks：These are necessary.Bring your traveller's checks in small to medium unit ( $10, $ 20 or $ 50) to change a little bit at a time, so as not to be left with a lot of local money.To be on the safe side, be sure to copy down the check numbers in two places，just in case something happens to the checks.
文章大意：本文作者给了我们一些去东欧旅游时应带什么东西的建议。
28．The writer suggests that when you go to Eastern Europe, you only need to bring your__B__.
A．smart clothing B．everyday clothing
C．formal suit D．sportswear
解析：细节理解题。题干指“作者建议当你去东欧时，你只需要带你的……”。本题从文章第一段中的“the most basic clothes”便可得知B项为正确答案。
29．Which of the following mentioned in the passage is about money matters？__A__
A．Cash and traveller's checks.
B．Money belts, language and tools.
C．Cash and electric current adapters.
D．Batteries and other electric appliances.
解析：细节理解题。只有选项A“现金和旅行者的支票”，都是有关钱的事项。
30．Eagle Creek Travel Gear is a company producing __D__.
A．calculators B．tapes
C．electric current adapters D．money belts
解析：细节理解题。由Money Belts一段的前两句可知。
31．The passage is probably taken from __C__.
A．a bank notice B．a holiday advertisement
C．a traveller's guide D．an electrical safety booklet
解析：主旨大意题。由本文第一段可知作者在给我们一些去东欧旅游的建议，通篇短文都是在讲述旅行方面的内容，故C项为正确答案。
D

It's rare that you see the words “shyness” and “leader” in the same sentence.After all, the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not.A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership.Interestingly, the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands.Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few “innies”．
Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking, shy people take a cautious approach to chance.Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering, shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak.They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking, but rather listening so they can learn what to say.Along the same lines, shy people share a common love of learning.They are intrinsically(内在地) motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.
Being shy can also bring other benefits.Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute, until shy little Johnny, who almost never said a word, cut in? Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking.This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence：they “own” the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully, which translate to a positive image.
Shyness is often related to modesty.Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest, but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements.As a result, they are able to acknowledge mistakes, imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.
Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones, they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires.Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent.Don't believe me? Maybe you'll believe Albert Einstein, who once said, “It's not that I'm so smart, it's that I stay with problems longer.” Obviously, finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.
The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding.Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.
文章大意：尽管很多人认为害羞的人在很多方面存在缺点，但是本文作者却告诉我们害羞的人也有自己的优点。
32．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that __B__.
A．shy people are sensitive to rewards
B．shy people care more about content
C．outgoing people are more careful about chances
D．outgoing people consider what to learn while listening
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中They are intrinsically(内在地)motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.一句可知害羞的人更关注的是内容，故选项B正确。
33．The example of Johnny shows __D__.
A．shy people are likely to be modest
B．hardworking students speak little in public
C．some students keep silent on purpose at school
D．shy people may have an advantage in discussion
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段they “own” the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully, which translates to a positive image.一句可知，以Johnny为例是为了表明害羞的人在讨论中更有优势，故答案选D。
34．We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 that __A__.
A．success results from devotion
B．shyness contributes to popularity
C．outside reward leads to insistence
D．uncertainty counts more than certainty
解析：推理判断题。本段主要是在讲害羞的人更能专心于要研究的问题，故答案A正确。
35．The author supports his ideas mainly by __D__.
A．giving definitions and presenting research results
B．explaining problems and providing solutions
C．quoting authorities and making evaluations
D．making contrasts and giving examples
解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者在发表自己观点的时候，是通过做对比及举例来支撑自己观点的。故答案D正确。

Li Hua, an excellent student in Senior 2 of our school, spent his whole holiday in a village primary school，teaching the students of Grade 1 Chinese, maths and English as well.Li Hua worked all the day because there were few teachers there.
Since the students had no English textbooks, Li Hua just taught them some basic knowledge.The living conditions there were terrible.For example, they had to walk about 2 kilometers to fetch water using a bucket.The students there are dying to learn knowledge.
Now Li Hua，who would like to be a teacher in the future，is determined to study harder.He suggests we do what we can to help students in remote places.
