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
I have many new teachers in high school, but Lori Runkle, my English Language and Composition teacher, is my favorite teacher.
Ms. Runkle enjoys getting to know more about students, so I have many chances to talk with her after class. I have always wanted to become a journalist (新闻记者). Since Ms. Runkle used to be a journalist back in the?United States, she has introduced many helpful journalistic writing skills to me.
Although she is my teacher, Ms. Runkle and I are more like friends. She often invites my classmates and me to take part in different activities outside of school. For example, I went to listen to a journalist's speech, which helped me better understand current events (时事).
Not only does Ms. Runkle talk with me outside of school, she is also a great teacher in the classroom. English Language and Composition is a really hard subject for a second language learner. We felt worried in the beginning, but Ms. Runkle really makes an effort to help us out. In class, Ms. Runkle always encourages students to question everything to keep us active. One part of class I love the most is when groups of students are required to give speeches on events that are happening in the world. It requires a lot of deep thinking and I really learn quite a lot from it.
I love Ms. Runkle very much. She not only helps me to get good scores, but also acts as a good friend and always gives me advice on life.

A. tells them how to get good scores
B. asks them questions about the world
C. asks them to describe current events
D. tells them about events that are happening
24. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?

The English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.
One such example is the word?matter. In fact,?matter?can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.
Let's get to the heart of the matter — a matter of principle (原则).
If someone says that you owe (欠) him $50, but you don't, a friend might say, “Well, you could pay him the $50. It's not that much money. Then you won't have to hear him say it anymore.” But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. It's a matter of principle.
There is another way to use the word?matter. But be careful with your choice of words.
If you ask someone, “What's the matter?”, it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying, “What's the matter with you?” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “What's the matter with you?”, you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.
Another expression that could sound rude is to say, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it depends on the?context, and how you say it.
Let's say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.
But saying, “Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesn't matter to?me.” does not sound rude. In this situation, “it doesn't matter” shows you are easy-going (随和的).
No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And it's only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of?matter.
25. We can infer from the text that the word?matter?_____.
A. has a wide use???
B. can mean money?
C. is the most used English word?
D. has the most different expressions
26. What is the author's suggestion in Paragraph 4?
A. Every penny counts.
B. Stick to what is right.
C. Follow your friend's advice.
D. Be careful when making friends.
27. The underlined word “context” in the text probably means _____.
A. choice??? ?????????????? B. person???
C. situation ? ? ? ? ? ?D. answer
28. The author develops the text mainly by _____.
A. using examples
B. giving instructions
C. describing his experiences
D. discussing research findings
C
Years ago, the American writer Kurt Vonnegut often said there was one story that would always make a million dollars: “Cinderella” (《灰姑娘》).
“Cinderella” made more like $70 million in ticket sales when it opened last weekend. But the movie got?a mixed reaction. David Rooney of?The Hollywood Reporter?praised the movie and said, “Anyone will find something to enjoy in it.” Steven Rea of?The Philadelphia Inquirer?called the movie “a winning re-do.” Richard Corliss of?Time?magazine wrote that “Disney finally got Cinderella right.” Other people were not as happy with the movie. Sara Stewart of the?New York Post?wrote, “This Cinderella is all dressed up with nowhere very interesting to go.”
Although different people think differently towards the movie, what is clear, however, is the movie's business success. It is not only popular in the theaters but also in sales. And Disney has widened its usual market for “Cinderella” products.
There are products connected to the Disney movie targeted (面向) not only at little girls, but women, too. For example, the famous shoe designer Jimmy Choo worked with Disney to create “Cinderella's shoes.” You can buy them for about $5,000. At that price, you would not want to lose one at the party, even if that is the way you get your prince (王子).
The makeup (化妆品) company MAC quickly sold all its products connected to “Cinderella.” HSN is a popular website selling clothing and objects for the home. The marketer is now also selling “Cinderella” products.
So, is there anything left for the children, those people we think of as the traditional audience (观众) for the age-old tale? Yes, you can find toys and other children's products at the American store JCPenney. Of course, you can also visit a Disney store.
29. What is the best title for the text?
A. Sellers of “Cinderella” products
B. “Cinderella” is more than a movie
C. What makes “Cinderella” so popular
D. Unknown stories behind “Cinderella”
30. The underlined part “a mixed reaction” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____.
A. many changes???
B. different stories???
C. advantages and disadvantages???
D. agreements and disagreements
31. Products connected to “Cinderella” _____.
A. do not sell very well
B. are not yet on the market
C. are mainly targeted at little girls
D. are designed for a wide group of buyers
32. Where can children buy toys connected to “Cinderella”?
A. At MAC.??? ?????????????????
B. At MAC and HSN.
C. At JCPenney.??
D. At HSN and a Disney store.

I never wanted to go to kindergarten (幼儿园), or leave home at all. I spent my first five years within the loving arms of my family, and when the time came for me to begin school at PS 116 in Brooklyn, I was sure that no one would keep me safe. But I was so lucky to meet Mrs. Heyman. Not only did she make me feel safe, she let me know that I was special.
Kindergarten was a fearful experience for me. I was a shy child who hated being separated from my mommy. Mrs. Heyman was a kind and patient teacher who tried to get me to stop crying each morning after I asked for one last kiss.
She would distract (转移……的注意力) me with pens and colorful paper and by playing beautiful music. It seemed the feeling of being an artist distracted me from my separation unhappiness, allowing me to attend class as the tears ran down my face. I also loved to sing and dance, and performed (表演) the Virginia reel — a kind of dance — when the principal (校长), Mr. Barton, visited our class.
Mr. Barton was an old, serious man who liked to walk behind children who behaved badly and shout, “Behave!” I was afraid of being shouted at by him, and practiced the dance with my classmates until Mrs. Heyman told us we were perfect.
Unluckily, I was so nervous before Mr. Barton’s visit that I wet myself. Mrs. Heyman calmly (冷静地) took me to the bathroom and told me to change into new clothes, drying my tears all the while, never showing judgment.
As I performed, Mr. Barton cheered. Pleased, I bravely stepped up to the front of the classroom and threw kisses in Mrs. Heyman’s direction.
I was lucky to have her again for the first grade, and learned to love school and learning. She was right about living my life without long-lasting attention from my mommy.

Since 2013, Awesome Con has brought together tens of thousands of comic book fans (漫画书迷) for a special weekend in Washington, D.C. This year’s event was held from March 30 through April 1 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
At the yearly event, artists sell comic books, artwork, and other things. There are also performances, discussions, and famous guests. Awesome Con also has game rooms, where visitors can play many popular games like Donkey Kong.
Of all the activities at Awesome Con, cosplay is surely the most attractive one. Many people see Awesome Con as a way to express themselves and show off their hobbies. Cosplay is a very good way to achieve this purpose.
Cosplay is dressing up as a character (角色) from movies, games, or comics. People dress as superheroes, time travelers, robots, etc. Many build their own clothes and some of them are very skillfully made.
“It’s a huge part of the whole event, and it’s really nice to see everyone having fun and putting so much time and energy (精力) into their cosplay clothes,” said John Hutson, who dressed up as superhero Captain America.
“I dressed up as Deadpool,” said another comic book fan Sandy Millin. “I really enjoy this character, and I came out here because it allows me to express myself freely.”
For those who attend Awesome Con, talking about hobbies with people you don’t know is fun. There are other advantages too. For example, in Artist Alley, where comic-book creators talk to fans and sign books and drawings, you can find many different kinds of art and people who like that kind of work. “It’s nice to see not very well-known artists finally getting recognized (认可) for their wonderful artwork by people who really enjoy cartoons, comics, and video games,” said a student from Takoma Park Middle School in Maryland.
28. What is the most eye-catching activity at Awesome Con?
A. Game playing.??? B. Book selling.

30. Why did Sandy Millin come to Awesome Con?

31. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

D. Fun things to do at Awesome Con.

I did some research and examined how British English and American English changed between the 1930s and the 2000s. Take spelling, for example — towards the 1960s it looked like the UK was going in the direction of not using the “u” in “colour” and writing “centre” as “center”. But since then, the British have become more confident (自信的) in some of their own spellings. In the 2000s, the UK used an American spelling choice about 11% of the time while Americans use a British one about 10% of the time. There is also no need to worry too much about American words, such as “vacation”, “liquor” and “lawmaker” entering British English. There are a few examples of this kind of vocabulary change but they are mostly uncommon words and are not likely to change British English too much. The British are still using “mum” rather than “mom” and “petrol” rather than “gas”.??
But when we start thinking of language more in terms of style than vocabulary or spelling, a different picture appears. Some of the bigger trends (趋势) in American English are moving towards a freer use of language. American sentences are on average (平均) one word shorter in 2006 than they were in 1931.
Americans also use a lot more apostrophes (撇号) in their writing than they used to, which has the effect of turning the two words “do not” into the single “don’t”. “The hand of the king” becomes the shorter “The king’s hand”.
However, in all these ways Brits are changing too — and in the same way as Americans. They’re just about 30 years behind the trend that Americans seem to be leading.
So this raises a question, is British English actively following American English or is this something that is simply a natural trend in language use? Perhaps the British would have gone in that direction even if America had never been discovered? I’d like to agree with the second idea but because of the fact that British people learn plenty of American language through different ways, I think the first is more correct.
32. What did the British do in the 1960s?
A. They used some American spellings.
B. They built up confidence in their language.
C. They did research on language differences.
D. They went in the direction of harder spellings.
33. What does the author try to show by using examples like “petrol”?
A. British English has changed a lot.
B. Some uncommon words are used less often.
C. American words are entering British English.
D. American spelling won’t change British English too much.
34. Which of the following is a trend of American English?
A. It is using shorter words.
B. It is turning to proper grammar.
C. It is avoiding using apostrophes.
D. It is trying to make sentences simpler.
35. Which of the following is the author’s opinion about the languages?
A. American English is going the wrong way.
B. British English is following American English’s example.
C. American English is borrowing a lot from British English.
D. Languages wouldn’t change much if America was not discovered.
