Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
As a boy growing up in India, I had longed to travel abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany.
I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is otherwise scared of flying.
After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.
Being the first airline to take me overseas, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today, I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying, in general, for me, has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience). Flying on Lufthansa, however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.

1．Which country does the author live in now?
A．India. B．Canada.

答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第一段首句以及最后一段“Being the first airline to take me overseas...”可分析，作者生活的国度是在印度(India)，故选A。
2．Which of the following is TRUE about the author's trip to Europe in 1998?
A．The author traveled with one of his parents.
B．Both their going and return are by air.
C．They traveled in spring that year.
D．They stayed in Europe for nearly two months.
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。A项错在与事实“和父母双亲一起去的”不符；C项错在与事实“他们是在夏季去的”不符；D项错在与事实“在欧洲待了两个星期”不符。B项与文章吻合，故选B。
3．It can be inferred from the passage that Lufthansa is ________.
A．a city in India B．a city in Europe
C．an airline company D．a travel agency
答案与解析：C 推理判断题。通过后三段内容不难看出，此为一家航空公司的名称(德国汉莎航空公司)。故选C。

A．happy B．sad
C．angry D．enjoyable
答案与解析：B 词义猜测题。想到愉快的旅行就要结束，其心情自然不好，故选B项。根据后半句“但德国汉莎航空公司却以其高质量的服务使得‘我’这一返程旅行转变为：“a most enjoyable experience”也可推知。
B
During the 15th century, spices (香料) from India were very popular in Europe, however, the only way to travel from Europe to India was over land. This was a long and expensive trip. The King of Portugal realized if he could find a way to get to India by sailing on the ocean, he would become rich by trading spices in Europe. An explorer (探险家) by the name of Bartolomeu Dias had discovered the Cape of Good Hope at the tip of Africa. It was thought that there may be a way around the Cape and to the northeast towards India. However, many were skeptical and thought that the Indian Ocean did not connect with the Atlantic Ocean.
Vasco da Gama, who was born in 1460s to a wealthy Portuguese family in Sines, was given a fleet of ships by the king and told to discover a sea route (路线) around Africa to India. He was also told to look for other trading possibilities along the way.
Vasco da Gama left on his first voyage (航行) from Lisbon, Portugal, with four ships and 170 men on July 8, 1497.Gama and his men rounded the southern tip of Africa at the Cape of Good Hope on November 22. They then headed north up the coast of Africa. They stopped at trading ports along the way including Mombasa and Malindi. At Malindi (about 120 km northeast of Mombasa), they picked up a local pilot who knew the direction to India. With the help of a monsoon wind they were able to cross the Indian Ocean and arrive in Calicut, India in less than a month (on May 20, 1498). At Calicut, Vasco ran into serious trouble when trying to trade. He had brought little of value in his ships. This made the local traders doubtful of him and very soon he had to leave. The voyage back was disastrous. Around half of his men died from scurvy (坏血病) as the trip back took much longer because of the winds not blowing in his favor. However, when he returned home, he was still a hero. He had found the much needed trade route to India.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章介绍了葡萄牙探险家达·伽马第一次航行到印度的原因及过程。
5．What does the underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Worried. B．Doubtful.
C．Hopeful. D．Supportive.
答案与解析：B 猜测词义题。由第一段中的“there may be a way... towards India”和划线词后的“the Indian Ocean did not connect with the Atlantic Ocean”可知，因为许多人认为印度洋与大西洋不相连，所以他们对绕过好望角有到达印度的路线这一想法持怀疑态度。
6．What was the main purpose of Vasco da Gama's first voyage to India?
A．To take control of India.
B．To control the spice trade.
C．To find a trade route to India.
D．To bring back spices from India.
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。第一段解释了葡萄牙国王派遣达·伽马出行的原因“find a way to get to India... trading spices in Europe”，再由第二段中的“told to discover a sea route around Africa to India”可知，达·伽马第一次航行到印度的目的是寻找一条贸易路线。
7．Which is the correct route of Gama's first voyage to India?
A．Sines→the Cape of Good Hope→Mombasa→Malindi Calicut.
B．Sines→the Cape of Good Hope→Malindi→Mombasa→Calicut.
C．Lisbon→the Cape of Good Hope→Malindi→Mombasa→Calicut.
D．Lisbon→the Cape of Good Hope→Mombasa→Malindi Calicut.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。由第三段描述达·伽马第一次从欧洲航海到印度的路线“left on his first voyage from Lisbon... rounded... at the Cape of Good Hope... At Malindi (about 120 km northeast of Mombasa)．.. cross the Indian Ocean and arrive in Calicut”可知答案。
8．What happened to Gama and his men when they stayed at Calicut?
A．Their trading was well-received.
B．Half of them got a serious illness.
C．They missed the best time to go back home.
D．They were considered unwelcome by the local traders.
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。由第三段中的“He had brought little of value... doubtful of him”可知，到达Calicut之后，由于船上有价值的东西太少，因此达·伽马和他的船员们在那里不受当地商人的欢迎。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works, what doesn't and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.
Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品). As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.
【语篇解读】 作者在文章中用自己的亲身经历告诉我们阅读的重要性：阅读给我们打开了生活中的一扇窗户。
1．What can be inferred about the author as a child?
A．He never watched TV.
B．He read what he had to.
C．He found reading unbelievable.
D．He considered reading part of his life.
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing...and live in.”可知作者把阅读当成是和呼吸一样自然的事情。说明阅读已经成为作者生活的一部分了，故D正确。
2．The underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “________”．
A．an idea B．a sound quality
C．a way of writing D．a world to write about
答案与解析：C 词义猜测题。根据前一句“Every writer starts off knowing...right ways to say it.”每一个作家都知道他们有话要说，但是有时却找不到正确的方法把要说的话说出来。根据本句“He has to find his own voice by reading widely”可知要通过广泛阅读找到自己的表达思想的方法，所以本句中的voice就是指作者的写作方法，故C正确。
3．What effect does reading have on the author?
A．It helps him to realize his dream.
B．It opens up a wider world for him.
C．It makes his college life more interesting.
D．It increases his interest in worldwide travel.
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据文章最后两句“Reading fiction reminds me...”可知阅读让自己跳出小圈子，让自己了解到更多的知识，呈现给作者一个更为广阔的世界，故B正确。
4．Which of the following can be the best title of this text?
A．Why Do I Read? B．How Do I Read?
C．What Do I Read? D．When Do I Read?
答案与解析：A 主旨大意题。作者在文章第一段中介绍了自己的童年就是在阅读中度过的，接着又介绍了阅读的重要作用，阅读让自己领略了外面的世界。所以本文主要告诉我们为什么我们要阅读，故A正确。

I don't understand why people buy food to eat during the movie. Also, before the movie was shown, a lot of people were talking. But as soon as the movie got __6__ (start), everyone became quiet. Another unusual thing was that at the end of the movie, nobody applauded. While the credits were __7__ (show), people were leaving.

1．答案与解析：made 考查非谓语动词。the movie与make之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故填make的过去分词形式。

6．答案与解析：started 考查形容词。got started在此意为“开始”。
7．答案与解析：being shown 考查动词的语态。此处表示当片尾字幕被放映时，人们就开始离开了。空处表示正在进行的被动动作，故填being shown。
8．答案与解析：were left 考查动词的时态和语态。谓语动词leave与主语“popcorn boxes and candy wrappers”之间是动宾关系，且根据前面的was可知此处应用一般过去时，故填were left。
9．答案与解析：was told 考查动词的时态和语态。谓语动词tell与主语I之间是动宾关系，且此处表示过去的事情，故填was told。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
In the early part of the twentieth century, racism (种族歧视) was widespread in the United States. Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment. Marian Anderson (1897-1993) was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism. She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood. When she asked for admission to a local music school in 1917, she was refused because she was black. Unable to attend music school, she began her career as a singer for religious activities. In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there. Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe. Then she returned to the US in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City.
Racism again affected Anderson in 1939. When it was arranged to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington D．C., the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed (反对) it because of her color. She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75,000 people. In 1955, Anderson became the first black soloist (独唱) to sing in the Metropolitan Opera of New York City. The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “heard only once in a hundred years”. She was a US delegate (代表) to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977. Anderson eventually triumphed over racism.

【语篇解读】 作者在文章中告诉我们人生中有得必有失，要学会放弃，包括个人的青春、美丽、和朋友在内的一切；如果失去，必然有相应的事物来代替。而作者年老多病的父亲却教给了作者一个道理：他放弃了一切，一无所获，但是得到了家人的爱。此文告诉我们不要斤斤计较，要以爱心来对待一切，面对生活，让自己的内心平和。
1．A.However B．Therefore
C．Meanwhile D．Afterward
答案与解析：A “我”从父亲那里学会了顺其自然，然而父亲不是在身体健康的时候教会“我”的，而是在他病重的时候告诉“我”的。上下文之间是转折关系，故A正确。
2．A.poor B．slow
C．weak D．tired
答案与解析：C 见上题解析。
3．A.already B．once
C．still D．only
答案与解析：B 父亲曾经是一个积极向上的很强壮的人，但是一场疾病夺走了一切。所以once是指父亲曾经身体很好，故B正确。
4．A.sent B．threw
C．put D．took
答案与解析：D 本句使用take表示疾病夺走了父亲的健康，故D正确。
5．A.difficult B．stressful
C．hopeless D．impossible
答案与解析：A 根据前句可知，父亲不能行走，只能整天坐在椅子上。本句中的even“甚至”，表示递进关系。说明父亲连说话也变得困难，充分说明父亲的状况很糟糕，故A正确。
6．A.asking B．talking
C．worrying D．caring
答案与解析：B talk about“谈论……”。本句表示“我”和姐妹们在谈论生活，故B正确。
7．A.experiences B．decisions
C．beliefs D．ambitions
答案与解析：C experience“经历”；decision“决定”；belief“信念，想法”；ambition“雄心，野心”。“我”和姐妹们谈论对生活的看法，同时下文中提及的要放弃，也属于对生活的一种想法，故C正确。
8．A.till B．as
C．before D．since
答案与解析：B “我”认为随着我们长大，我们一定要放弃一些东西，如年轻、美丽和朋友等，故B正确。
9．A.promises B．suggests
C．requires D．seems
答案与解析：D 句式It seems that...“似乎……”，但似乎在我们放弃了一些事物以后，总有一些新的东西会来代替他们。其余三项并不能构成这个句式，故D正确。
10．A.spoke B．opened
C．summed D．turned
答案与解析：A speak up“说话”；open up“出现；产生”；sum up“概括；总结”；turn up“出现”。在我们谈论生活的时候，父亲突然开口说话了，因为上文提到父亲连说话都很困难的，故A正确。
11．A.anything B．something
C．everything D．nothing
答案与解析：C 与下一句“What did I gain？”相串联，父亲提出一个问题：“‘我’放弃了一切，但是‘我’得到了什么”？他用这个问题让“我”认识到“我”的看法是错误的，故C正确。
12．A.Immediately B．Surprisingly
C．Naturally D．Certainly
答案与解析：B immediately“立刻，马上”；surprisingly“令人惊讶地”；naturally“自然地”；certainly“当然”。“我”想了很久都没有得到答案，但是令人吃惊的是，父亲自己回答了这个问题。与A、C、D不搭配，故B正确。
13．A.accepted B．had
C．enjoyed D．gained
答案与解析：D 根据11空后“What did I gain？”父亲提出“‘我’得到了什么？”所以本句承接前一句使用动词gain，故D正确。
14．A.attracted B．warned
C．touched D．astonished
答案与解析：C attract“吸引”；warn“警告”；touch“感动；打动”；astonish“使……惊讶”。根据前句最后“...tears in their eyes...”说明父亲很激动，本句中的also说明“我”也很感动，被父亲所说的话感动了，故C正确。
15．A.would B．should
C．could D．might
答案与解析：A 本句中的情态动词would意为“过去常常……”，当“我”对别人的话感到愤怒的时候，“我”常常会想起父亲的话，然后就会平静下来，故A正确。
16．A.quiet B．relaxed
C．calm D．happy
答案与解析：C 父亲的话让“我”意识到要顺其自然，接受生活给我们的一切。所以父亲的话让“我”平静地接受一切，让“我”愤怒的情绪得以平静，故C正确。
17．A.likely B．free
C．ready D．able
答案与解析：D be likely to do sth.“可能做某事”；be free to do sth.“自由地做某事”；be ready to do sth.“愿意做某事”；be able to do sth.“能够做某事”。如果父亲能够用对他人的爱来代替痛苦，那么“我”也能够放弃对别人的愤怒，故D正确。
18．A.way B．place
C．case D．form
答案与解析：A 父亲用他自己的生活方式接受生活给予他的一切，让他能够平静地接受一切，那么“我”也可以和他一样。in this way“用这种方法”，故A正确。
19．A.wonder B．doubt
C．guess D．know
答案与解析：A wonder“想知道”；doubt“怀疑”；guess“猜想”；know“知道”。有时候“我”在想如果在小时候“我”能够认真听父亲的话，“我”可能会学到更多。作者是在追悔之前的事情，故A正确。
20．A.useful B．grateful
C．shameful D．ashamed
答案与解析：D useful“有用的”；grateful“感激的”；shameful“可耻的，丢脸的”；ashamed“惭愧的”。现在“我”对父亲给“我”的“Accept life as it is”感到很惭愧，“我”早就应该学到的，故D正确。
