四、阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.
My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.
I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a ＂vo-tech＂ student(技校学生). They’re called ＂motorheads＂ by the rest of the student body.
When a secretary in my office first called him ＂motorhead＂, I was shocked. ＂Hey, he’s a good kid,＂ I wanted to say. ＂And smart, really.＂
I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).
But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. ＂Hey, I can fix it,＂ said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.
My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts(零件) from a junkyard, non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbours and co-workers trust their car repair to him.
Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.
These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.
I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.
My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.
1. What used to be the author’s hope for his son?
A. To avoid becoming his clone.
B. To resemble him in appearance.
C. To develop in a different direction.
D. To reach the author’s unachieved goals.
2. What can we learn about the author’s children?
A. His daughter does better in school.
B. His daughter has got a master’s degree.
C. His son tried hard to finish homework.
D. His son couldn’t write his book reports.
3. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that _____________.
A. His son had the ability to fix it.
B. it would save him much time.
C. it wouldn’t cause him any more loss
D. other motorheads would come to help.
4. In the author’s eyes, motorheads are _____________.
A. tidy and hardworking B. cheerful and smart
C. lazy but bright D. relaxed but rude
5. What did the author realize in the end?
A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.
B. It is important for one to make the honor roll.
C. Architects play a more important role than builders.
D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.
【答案】
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者一开始希望自己的儿子能效仿他，完成他没有实现的目标。但是他的儿子学习成绩不理想，只上了技校。一次作者的车坏了，儿子和同学帮助作者修好了车，让作者改变了自己的看法。

3. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第六段的句子＂I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose＂可知，作者让儿子修车，因为他觉得这不会给他带来损失。故选C。
4. B 【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的句子＂These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are in living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright…＂可知，在作者眼中，motorhead是令人兴奋的，聪明的。故选B。
B
Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: ＂Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today — and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.＂
A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ＂But I’m just not creative.＂
＂Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?＂
＂Oh, sure.＂
＂So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.＂ The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. ＂That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?＂
＂Nobody. I do it.＂
＂Really — at night, when you’re asleep?＂
＂Sure.＂
＂Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?＂
6. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to _____________.
A. know more about the students
B. make the lessons more exciting
C. raise the students’ interest in art
D. teach the students about toy design
7. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. He liked to help his teacher.
B. He preferred to study alone.
C. He was active in class.
D. He was imaginative.
8. What does the underlined word ＂downside＂ in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Mistake. B. Drawback. C. Difficulty. D. Burden.
9. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?
A. To help them to see their creativity.
B. To find out about their sleeping habits.
C. To help them to improve their memory.
D. To find out about their ways of thinking.
【答案】
【语篇解读】本文属于记叙文，作者通过让学生拼装玩具发现并鼓励学生的创造性和想象力。

8. B 【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线单词后一句＂I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.＂可知我冒着失去那些有不同思维方式的学生的危险。说明我的这种教育方法也有不足之处。故画线词意为＂drawback缺点＂。故B正确。
9. A 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后七段中的对话内容可知作者鼓励孩子们说出最有趣的有创造性和想象力的梦，并鼓励他们在白天的课堂里把梦的内容做出来。作者这样做的目的就是为了让他们看到自己的创造性和想象力。故A正确。
五、七选五
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
Investing in yourself
Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.
1 Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.
You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education. 2 There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.
So what are some specific things you can do? 3 Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I’m talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill,not fiction books.
You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skills. 4 Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation.
Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn’t 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when inflation(通货膨胀) is taken into consideration. 5 But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.
A. This is just one way.
B. The benefits will stay with you.
C. If you aren’t a reader, you should start with that.
D. The more you do this, the more valuable you will be.
E. Of course, you need to do some research before investing.
F. The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.
G. When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.
【答案】
【语篇解读】本文作者主要向我们阐述了＂最好的投资就是在自己身上进行投资＂这一理念，并且向我们说明了在自己身上投资应该从哪些方面着手。


4. E 【解析】上面两句提到，你也可以去上一些课程或听讲座，这些课程通常都是由具有较高的知识和技能水平的人教授的，故E项＂当然你需要在投资(即花钱参加培训课程或听讲座)之前做一些调查＂符合语境。下文讲述了提前做调查的好处。
5. G 【解析】上文提到，把钱存在银行里虽然不会有什么风险，但是考虑到通货膨胀的因素，你的回报微乎其微。下一句提到但是随着时间的推移，收获会在你的幸福指数和成功程度上体现出来，正好与G项构成了转折关系。
六、完形填空

【答案】
【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。有的人可以迅速地适应新环境，有的人则恰恰相反。作者转学后花了很长时间才适应了新的学习环境。为此，作者在文中为那些要适应新的学习环境的人提供了建议。

3. D get to到达；refer to指的是；turn to转向某人，向某人求助。when it comes/came to...表示＂当涉及到……的时候＂，是固定句式。句意：作者决定，当涉及到讨论和回答问题时，他只做一个局外人。
4. B sharply急剧地；purposely故意地；hopelessly无希望地；searchingly认真彻底地。由上一句可知，作者不想参与课堂讨论和回答问题，所以作者会故意避免与老师的目光接触。
5. A in case以防，万一；so that表目的或结果；the moment一……就，当……时候；soon after在……之后，不久。由语境可知，作者故意避免与老师的目光接触，以防老师提问他。
6. C take 和后面的介词in连用，表示＂领会，吸收，理解＂。由上文中的＂I listened well＂可知，作者听讲很认真，并且可以理解老师讲的一切东西。
7. D doubt怀疑；apply应用，申请；check核实，核对；care在意，在乎。由语境可知，在许多同班同学面前讲话而不在意别人的看法是很难的。
8. B 由语境可知，在许多同班同学面前讲话而不在意别人的看法是很难的。
9. D angry生气的；popular流行的，受欢迎的；disappointed失望的；comfortable舒服的，舒适的。由语境可知，作者花了很长时间才觉得与老师在一起很轻松。
10. B 由下文中的＂feel they don’t fit in＂可知，此处指一些人能立即适应新的学习环境。fit in/into适应，适合。
11. C therefore因此；instead反而；however然而；meanwhile与此同时。上文说一些人能很快适应新的学习环境，下文说大部分人会紧张，觉得不适应，故前后为转折关系。
12. A normal正常的；strange奇怪的；awkward笨拙的；interesting有趣的。由下文的＂so it should not be a worry to you＂可知，感觉不适应是完全正常的，所以不必为此担心。
13.D proud自豪的；practical实用的，实际的；private私人的；positive积极的。由语境可知，积极面对，你会适应新的学校。
14. A ＂ 14 you make of it＂为表语从句，引导词在从句中作make的宾语，意为＂什么＂，故用what。
15. D like喜欢；ignore忽视，不理会；accept接受；hate讨厌，厌恶。由下文中的＂some love it＂及最后一段最后一句的＂how much you loved it or hated it＂可知， D选项正确。
16. B force强迫；develop发展；place放置；teach教。此处表示＂学校如何使你变成现在的你＂。
17. A push推，强迫；take带走；kick踢；remove去除，取下。由语境可知，作者认为，强迫自己走出自己的舒适区是很重要的。
18. C voice嗓音；question问题；hand手；head头。由语境可知，作者建议，如果你很内向的话，那么，告诉自己每节课至少举手回答一次问题。
七、语法填空

The young man nodded, ＂Yes. I have been dreaming of 5 (become) a person as famous as you. Every minute I am thinking of how to become famous. I don’t know when I can achieve 6 (I) reputation.＂Edison told him, ＂Forget it, young man. 7 you want to be a famous man this way, you will have to wait until you die!＂
＂Why should I?＂ the young man was 8 (puzzle). Edison said, ＂What you dream is actually a high building. You never think of how to build it with bricks. Thus the building will never come 9 reality. However, your story can serve as 10 mirror. People will remember you because of your idleness and laziness. They will often speak of your name when they give warnings to their children. Aren’t you a ‘famous’ person by then?＂
【答案】
【语篇解读】本文通过爱迪生和一个年轻人的对话告诉我们这样一个道理：如果我们总羡慕别人的成功，而自己不去付出，那我们永远都不会有别人的成就。
4. that 考查固定句型。It seems that ... 表示＂似乎……＂，该空应填that，that在此处引导表语从句。
5. becoming 考查固定用法。dream of doing sth表示＂梦想做某事＂，此处表示＂梦想成为＂。

7. If 考查条件状语从句。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，此处应用If引导条件状语从句，表示＂如果……＂。
8. puzzled 考查词形转换。分析句子结构可知，此处缺少表语，又因为主语为＂the young man＂，因此用puzzled，表示＂困惑的＂。
9. into 考查固定搭配。come into reality意为＂变成现实＂。
10. a 考查冠词。此处表泛指，a mirror＂一面镜子＂。
