答案与解析
这是一篇记叙文。作者一直想减肥，但是都没有成功。后来她又开始减肥，但是这次的目的不同：减肥的同时，为流浪儿童募捐。以这个目标为动力，作者终于减肥成功并做了一件有意义的事。
1．C　根据下文中的“to make myself feel better”可知，作者用食物扼杀(kill)自己的坏心情。增加(add)，混合(mix)，分享(share)，都与语境不符。
2．A　作者担心自己的健康，为了控制饮食和体重试过许多种节食(diets)的办法。饮料(drinks)，水果(fruits)，菜肴(dishes)，都不符合语境。
3．D　作者担忧自己的健康问题，但许多节食办法都没用，于是觉得对自己的体重(weight)没办法了。
4．C　作者50岁的时候，体重问题更加突出，严重地(seriously)影响作者的健康。暂时地(temporarily)，最近(recently)，偷偷地(secretly)，都与语境不符。
5．B　上文说到作者饱受自己体重问题的困扰，因此这里用形容词extra表示“额外的”，作者决心要开始甩掉身上多余的肉。
6．A　从选项的词义和搭配看，这里应该用动词attended与seminar(研讨会)搭配，表示作者参加了一个研讨会。
7．B　研讨会的一个领导者讲述自己不仅减重125磅，还为流浪儿童募集了两万五千美元，这是一个成功(success)的故事。folk“民谣”，adventure“历险”，science“科学”，都不符合语境。
8．C　作者受到这个领导者的故事的影响“Influenced”，创立了一个项目。使惊奇“Surprised”，逗笑“Amused”，打扰“Disturbed”，都不符合语境。
9．A　这是作者创立的一个项目，因此用名词project表示“项目，方案”，“project”在下文多处被提到。
10．D　作者的目标是减重150磅并募集五万美元来支持一项开始于30年前的旨在结束饥饿的运动，因此用in support of表示“支持”。in search of“寻找”；in need of“需要”；in place of“代替”。
11．D　把个人的减肥与帮助解决世界问题结合起来，这让作者觉得这是完美的解决办法，动词strike可以表示“(以某种方式)给某人留下印象”，因此选D。注意动词strike的熟词生义，注意掌握其常见用法。
12．A　As引导时间状语从句表示“当……的时候”，这里说的是当作者开始实施自己的减肥计划的时候，又担心这次会遇到(run into)和以前减肥中一样的困难。
13．B　run into表示“遇到”，与后面的difficulties呼应，表示“遇到困难”。
14．D　上文提到作者的担心，害怕会遇到先前的那些困难，因此选D表示“害怕”。
15．C　While引导让步状语从句表示“尽管”，这里表示作者觉得自己这次走在正确的道路(path)上，因此选C。
16．B　这里表示捐款大量涌来，flood在此用作动词表示”涌进”，符合语境。
17．D　这里说的是作者饮食的变化，吃得少，而且吃得很健康(healthy)。吃得很多(heavy)，吃得很饱(full)，吃的东西很贵(expensive)，都不符合语境。
18．A　作者经常锻炼，regularly表示“有规律地，经常地”。
19．B　这里说的是作者一年之后实现(reached)了自己先前设定的目标，因此选B。
20．C　作者在这里发出感慨，自己在减肥的同时做了一件有意义的事：为流浪儿童募捐，因此选C。
Ⅴ.阅读理解
People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother's Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father's Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with childcare.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery (公墓). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants.They often have outdoor barbecues(烧烤) for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important，but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores，florists,_candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies，other stores do lots of business during these holidays.
1．Which is not a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?
A．Parents bring up children.
B．Parents give love and care to children.
C．Parents educate children to be good persons.
D．Parents pass away before children grow up.
2．What do you know from the passage?
A．Mother's Day and Father's Day are both in May.
B．Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.
C．Not all the children respect their parents.
D．Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.
3．Which do you think is right about“carnation”？
A．It only has two kinds of colors.
B．It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother's Day or Father's Day.
C．It's a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.
D．People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.
4．On Mother's Day and Father's Day，________．
A．people usually have family parties
B．everyone goes to visit the cemetery
C．children always go to parents' home
D．hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts
5．What do you think “florists”do?
A．They sell flowers.
B．They make bread or pastry.
C．They offer enough room for having family parties.
D．They sell special clothes for Mother's Day and Father's Day.
答案与解析
1．D　推理判断题。A、B和C三项均是孩子对父母敬重的原因，而只有D项是不正确的。可以从第一段中“They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.They give love and care.”得出答案。
2.B　细节理解题。从第一段最后一句“More mothers now work outside the home.More fathers must help with childcare.”(现在有更多的母亲在外工作)，可以推出“以前有较少的妇女在外工作”，所以B项为正确答案。
3.C　词义猜测题。通读文章便知carnation是“康乃馨”。
4.A　细节理解题。认真阅读文章的第二段，由“On these days families get together at home，as well as in restaurants.”这句话可知，答案是A项。
5.A　词义猜测题。根据构词法，名词后缀-ist，表示“……主义者”及专业人员，可知此处的florists为“花商”。因此花商要趁此节日销售鲜花。

A Native American language is in danger of disappearing. The last known native speaker of Klallam was Hazel Sampson. A native speaker is someone who speaks a language from an early age. Sampson died on February 4 at age 103. She was the oldest member of the Klallam American Indian tribes(部落) of the Pacific Northwest.
“We lost an elder who kept the culture and language of our people fresh in the younger generation，”Ron Allen, chairman of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, told reporters.
When all native speakers of a language disappear, the descendants (后代) of those who spoke it lose a valuable part of their history and culture. Starting in the 1870s, the U．S. government forced Native American children to attend schools that required them to speak and read only in English.
Government officials later realized the importance of preserving(保存)these languages. In 1990, Congress passed Native American Languages Act (NALA), whose purpose was to preserve Native American languages by allowing them to be spoken and taught in schools.
But many of the languages have already been lost. Of the more than 300 Native American languages, experts guess that fewer than 200 remain. Some have very few speakers. And 70 of those languages could go silent in the next five years.
Jamie Valadez, who teaches Klallam at Port Angeles High School in Washington State, says Sampson's death is a huge blow to the Klallam language and culture.
“Her death changes...everything，”Valadez says，“tribal elders carry so much knowledge of our culture and traditions. When they die, it's gone.”Few of the 3，000 remaining members of the Klallam tribes use the language. But the Klallam are one of many tribes working to keep their language alive.
Before she died, Sampson helped to create a Klallam dictionary. In 2012, it was given to tribal members, local libraries and schools. Now Klallam is also being taught as a second language in three Washington State schools. Only time will tell if the language can survive.
1．What can we learn about Hazel Sampson?
A. She died at a young age.
B. She was the leader of her tribe.
C. She did a lot to keep Klallam alive.
D. She was the only person that was able to speak Klallam.
2．What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A. The government's efforts to save Native American languages.
B. The importance of Native American languages.
C. The popularity of Nalive American languages.
D. The future of Native American languages.
3．How does the author tell the condition of Native American languages?
A. By using numbers.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By telling an interesting story.
D. By following the order of time.
答案与解析
解题导语：这篇文章通过讲述一个部落老人的去世对部落语言和文化的影响来告诉读者美国一些本土语的现状。
1．C　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“We lost an elder who kept the culture and language of our people fresh in the younger generation”和最后一段中的“Sampson helped to create a Klallam dictionary”可知，Sampson为保持Klallam这种语言的鲜活做了许多。故选C。
2．A　段落大意题。根据笫四段的内容可知，政府官员已经意识到保护这些语言的重要性，国会通过了Native American Languages Act(NALA)这项法案。综合起来可知，本段是说政府在努力挽救这些语言。故选A。
3．A　推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“Of the more than 300 Native American languages, experts guess that fewer than 200 remain”“And 70 of those languages could go silent in the next five years”可知，作者使用具体的数字来说明美国本土语的一些情况。故选A。
B
The Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past. The three-day event is not fixed (固定的) to the same dates each year, but generally takes place in November or December. It is well attended by tourists, but even better attended by locals (当地人)．
During the opening ceremonies, after the official greetings from the government leaders, people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands, and white camels transport their rides across the sands.Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horse-manship. One following another, groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turn to show off their wonderful traditional culture. Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns (喇叭) and beat drums (鼓) as they dancing in different designs. On their knees in the sand, a group of women in long dark dresses dance with their hair: their long, dark, shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm of their dance.
The local and visiting Italian dogs are anxious to run after hares. The crowd is on its feet for the camel races. Camels and riders run far into the distance, and then return to the finish line in front of the cheering people.
Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day, an extremely exciting horse race. All the riders run very fast on the horseback. Some riders hang off the side of their saddles (坐垫). Some even ride upside down—their legs and feet straight up in the air—all at full speed. Others rush down the course together, men arm in arm, on different horses. On and on they go. So fast and so wonderful!
4．The Sahara Festival is a festival which________．
A．has a very long history in North Africa
B．is held in the same place on the same day
C．is attended mainly by the people in the Sahara
D．is celebrated mostly by travelers from different
countries
5．Before the races begin，________take part in the activities during the opening ceremonies.
A．musicians, dancers, horses and hares
B．camel riders, musicians, Japanese dogs and hares
C．horsemen, dancers, camels and Japanese dogs
D．musicians, officials, camels and horses
6．The underlined word “finale” in the fourth paragraph most probably means the________of the opening day.
A．first part B．middle
C．last part D．whole
7．This passage mainly tells readers________．
A．what happens on the opening day of the Sahara Festival
B．how people celebrate during the three-day Sahara Festival
C．what takes place at the closing ceremonies of the Sahara Festival
D．how animals race on the first and the last days of the Sahara Festival
答案与解析
4．C　细节理解题。由第一段最后一句话可知C项为正确答案。
5．D　综合判断题。根据第二段的描述可以推断D项为正确答案。A项多加了hares; B项多加了Japanese dogs and hares; C项多加了Japanese dogs。
6．C　词义猜测题。根据前面的Towards the evening可推知此处指开幕式的最后部分。
7．A　主旨大意题。本文第一段简要介绍什么是Sahara Festival，第二、三、四段主要介绍开幕式第一天的活动，因此A项为最佳选项。
Ⅳ.七选五阅读
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。
Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon(现象)called the selfie. It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website.
__1__Some selfies are extremely close-ups, and others show part of an arm held straight outward. A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror.
Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seems to be especially involved in the trend. Young people are relatively heavier digital products users. They are interested in staying connected to their friends.__2__
There are also kinds of psychological (心理学的)factors driving people to take a selfie and upload it to a social networking website.__3__A quick and easy way to attract others' attention is to get “likes” and comments from friends. Secondly, it is human nature to show off your own great achievements. When you feel good about yourself or look good, it is far too easy to take out your phone and document it all through one or several selfies.__4__That is right. Sometimes people are bored at work, bored at school，bored at home and even bored in the toilet. Last but not least，social media is about being social. If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so be it. It is fun, and it's a cool way to sort the documents of your own life.
Finally, there are things to be mindful of when you are posting. It's easy to think you're sharing a photo with a few people. __5__So don't post anything online, selfies especially.
A．There are a lot of selfie styles.
B．The rise of selfies has become universal.
C．Social media, to some extent, is the driving force of their selfie activity.
D．The desire to take, post and get “likes” on selfies goes back to a biological behavior.
E. But the social media of the whole world is public and every individual can get access to it.
F. There are also people who will take selfies because they have nothing else better to do.
G. The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible.
答案与解析
本文讲的是在社交媒体和移动互联网中产生的一种奇怪现象——自拍，并介绍了自拍的原因和注意事项。
1．A　根据后面几句“Some selfies are...and others...”可知此段在介绍selfies的种类，因此本空是一句总结句。
2．C　本段讲年轻人喜欢自拍，因为年轻人比较喜欢使用数码产品，他们要和朋友保持联系，本句总结前面的内容，即社交媒体是他们更爱自拍的动力。
3．G　根据前一句中的“There are also kinds of psychological(心理学的)factors”以及后面的“Secondly...”可知，本句讲的是第一个factor，故答案选G。
4．F　本句讲的是第三点原因，后面几句阐述这一点原因的具体表现，根据“bored at work，bored at school...”可知人们没有更好的事可做的时候也会自拍。
5．E　根据后面一句“So don't post anything online，selfies especially.”可知，这一句和前面是转折关系。故答案选E。

答案与解析
美国著名作家马克吐温喜欢捉弄别人，但是有一次，他却被一个年轻人给捉弄了。
1．was played　joke是谓语动词动作play的承受者，用被动语态；这里说的是过去发生的事，用一般过去时。
2．invitation　空格中所填单词在句中作receive的宾语，用invite的名词形式。
3．an　这里说的是年轻人的“一个叔叔”，用不定冠词an。
4．themselves　这里指年轻人和他叔叔两个人，用they的反身代词。
5．which　关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句，which在句中作主语。
6．but　上下文存在语意上的转折，此处用连词but。
7．To make　To make the old man laugh是不定式短语，在句中作目的状语。

A long silk ribbon that links the crowns is a symbol of a long and happy life for the couple. After the ceremony, the guests can attend a wedding reception，__10__is usually a huge party and can last through the night.
答案与解析
1．different　由空后的wedding customs可知，此处应填形容词different，修饰名词。
2．an　该处泛指一个印度尼西亚的婚礼，又因Indonesian的发音以元音音素开始，故填不定冠词an。
3．invitation　该空前面有冠词an修饰，所以需要用invite的名词形式。
4．to attend　ought not to do sth.表示“不该做某事”。
5．because　空后说明不能参加婚庆的原因，故填because。
6．to　the entrance to... 表示“……的入口”。
7．Greek　修饰名词短语wedding ceremony，要用Greece的形容词形式。
8．made　______of flowers放在名词后，修饰crowns，作后置定语，且make和crowns之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作定语。
9．on　这里是指把花冠戴在新郎和新娘的头上，故用介词on。
10．which　分析句子结构可知，这里应用which引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面的a wedding reception。

答案与解析
游客们在吃鱼时谈论从鱼肚子里找到珍珠或其他有价值的东西，一个老绅士的故事却让人出乎意料。
1．A　由上文“were having dinner”提示可知“游客们正在吃饭”。结合语境：端上鱼后，他们边吃边谈。
2．C　句意：部分游客在谈论从鱼肚子里找到珍珠或其他有价值的东西的趣事。
3．A　“and”表明此空与“pearls”并列，而“pearls”很有价值，由此推断此空指其他有价值的东西。
4．B　由后文老者的话“I've heard all your stories”结合“quietly”可知，老人一直在静静地听。
5．A　考查取代词。此空相当于“a story”，所以用“one”。

7．D　“fall in love with...”固定词组，指“喜欢上……，爱上……”。
8．C　句意：我们很快就订婚了。此处指时间快。A.quickly反应快；B.fast速度快；C.soon时间很快；不久；D.lucky幸运的。
9．B　根据倒数第二段“Suddenly I __16__ an announcement of my sweetheart's __17__ to another.”可知：“我”被派往Birmingham时，是在婚前。
10．B　“be sent to...”固定搭配，指“被派往……”。
11．A　句意：“我”与未婚妻分离时，许诺给她写信。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
One of the traditions which is now a necessary part of Christmas is that of Father Christmas, or Santa Claus. According to the modern legend, he is a magical figure who visits all the children of the world during the night before Christmas Day，leaving presents which they will find the next morning. He flies through the night sky in a sledge pulled by reindeer, and enters houses by climbing down chimneys. This strange legend is based on the life of a man called Nicholas，but in fact we know very little about him. Historians think he was a Christian bishop (主教) in Turkey in about 285～350 AD.One of the stories about him is that he helped three poor girls. No one would marry them because they were so poor. To provide them with money for their weddings, Nicholas secretly dropped some gold coins down the chimney of their house. After Nicholas died, he was made a saint (圣人) by the church. The name Santa Claus thus comes from St. Nicholas. His feast day was celebrated in December，and parents started giving their children secret presents from St. Nicholas. Over the years, this custom became part of our Christmas traditions.
Recently, a psychologist has claimed that Father Christmas is “the perfect fantasy” for children. According to Professor Anthony Clare, children love the character of Father Christmas because he is like an ideal father. He loves children and gives them presents, but he never criticizes them, or becomes angry, and children do not even need to thank him for the presents. Other writers, however, point out that Father Christmas can be a frightening character to some children. Jane Bidder says that some children are terrified of this fat, bearded old man. It can certainly confuse many children. As parents, we warn our children to be careful of strangers and never let them into the house, and yet we tell children that a strange man will come into their bedroom at night! Some children can become very worried about this idea and fear that he is a kind of burglar.
Most children, however, understand from their parents and from the media that Father Christmas is basically a benign character, and look forward to his annual visit with joy and excitement.
1. The main point of the first paragraph is that ________．
A．Father Christmas is an important part of Christmas
B．the tradition of Father Christmas is a modern idea
C．Father Christmas is a magical figure who can fly
D．the legends about Father Christmas are not true
2. Why does that writer mention the story about St. Nicholas helping three poor girls?
A．It shows us that historians know very little about him.
B．This story explains why parents give secret presents to children.
C．It supports the writer's main point that Father Christmas is based on an untrue story.
D．This story explains why we celebrate Christmas in December.
3. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “benign” means____．
A．religious B．gentle
C．frightening D．unreal
答案与解析
本文讲述了有关圣诞老人的传说以及孩子们眼中的圣诞老人的形象。
1．A　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的which is now a necessary part of Christmas可知。
2．B　推理判断题。在讲述Nicholas对三个女孩的帮助时，作者提到他是通过从烟囱投入房间里几个金币的方式帮助了她们。在他死后人们开始沿用他的方式给孩子们送礼物。
3．B　词义猜测题。根据第二段末的描述以及最后一段可知，由于家长的教育，有的孩子可能会将圣诞老人看作令人恐惧的盗贼，但大多数的孩子还是认为圣诞老人是一个仁慈的人物。religious宗教的；gentle仁慈的； frightening令人害怕的；unreal不真实的。

Ⅲ.课文语法填空
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Before Christmas, My sister, Alison and I sat down in front of the fire and wrote a letter to Father Christmas__1__(tell) him about what presents we wanted.

答案与解析
1．telling　分析句子结构可知，空处需要用非谓语动词形式。tell这个动作和wrote同时发生，且表示主动意义，所以用现在分词作伴随状语。
2．seriously　所填词修饰动词wrote，故用serious的副词形式。

8．to swallow　此处为“It is hard to do sth.”句型，意为“难以做某事”。
9．eating　carry on doing sth.意为“继续做某事”。
10．off　turn off意为“关掉”。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her wish for a bicycle seemed to disappear，or so we thought.We bought Baby Sitter's Club dolls，and a doll house.
Then，much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else”. It was just too late. With all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts, how could we take the time to select the “right bike” for our little girl? So，here we were—Christmas Eve around 9∶00 p．m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, nestled(安置) snug(暖和的) in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child.
“What if I make a little bicycle out of clay(泥) and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike？” her dad asked.
“This is an expensive item and she is ‘such a big girl’， it would be much better for her to pick it out.”
So he spent the next four hours painstakingly(辛勤地) working with clay to make a tiny bike.
On Christmas morning，we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud.
“Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one？”
Pleased，I said, “Yes.” Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied，“I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I'd rather keep this than get a real bike.”
At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!
1．Choose the right time order of the following events.
a．The girl asked for a new bike.
b．The girl opened the little heart-shaped package.
c．The parents bought the girl a modern and popular doll.
d．The father made the girl a bike with clay.
e．The girl would rather keep the clay bike than get a real one.
A．a，b，c，e，d B．a，c，d，b，e
C．a，c，b，d，e D．a，b，d，c，e
2．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．The parents wanted the girl to have the clay bike forever.
B．Tears were in the girl's eyes because she didn't like the present at all.
C．The girl never lost her desire for a bike.
D．The parents paid little attention to the daughter's desire for a bike at first.
3．Why did Dad make the clay bicycle?
A．He wanted his daughter to buy a real one.
B．He didn't want to disappoint his daughter.
C．He thought his daughter would like it.
D．He wanted to give his daughter a surprise.
4．What can be inferred from the last sentence?
A．The parents were happy and encouraged.
B．The parents felt comfortable and relaxed.
C．The parents were moved and felt proud of the girl.
D．The parents felt sorry for the girl.
答案与解析
1．B　这个故事的大意是：Almie想要一辆自行车作为圣诞礼物，但她的父母却给她买了个布娃娃，当父母得知最终她还是希望得到一辆自行车时，已经为时太晚了。于是，父亲连夜工作四个小时，给她做了一辆漂亮的泥自行车。当Almie打开盒子看到父亲给她做的泥自行车时。决定自己永远珍藏这件特别的礼物。
2.D　当Almie说她“really wanted a bike more than anything else”时，“我们”的反应是much surprise，由此可知“我们”并没太在意Almie想得到一辆自行车的愿望。
3.D　从“we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note.”可知，父亲是想给女儿一个惊喜。
4.C　Almie说“I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me.I'd rather keep this than get a real bike.”，这令她的父母感动，并认为他们的行为感动了上帝，所以也为自己的女儿感到骄傲。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
One day, when I was making my way to a coffee shop, I noticed an old man sitting at a bench nearby. I knew from the first sight that he was in need of some kinds of help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it. It was also rather clear that he had a problem with his right eye and probably couldn't see out of it.
I joined the line and waited to be served. There was a young man in front of me in the line also waiting to be served. The young man handed the waitress a twenty-dollar bill and asked for an orange juice, as well as a favor. The waitress looked at the young man with a little surprise, not fully understanding him. The young man asked her to give the juice to that old man eating his lunch outside. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe. Later, there was a wonderful exchange(交换) between the waitress and the old man. I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on both of their fades.
As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered to myself why the young man didn't just perform the act of kindness himself. I thought he was hoping that this act of kindness might encourage others to do something for the old man as well. Thinking of the happy smiles on the old man's face, I know it is worthwhile to help others.
1．From Para.1, we can know that the old man________．
A．begged for a living
B．was in poor condition
C．had been hungry for days
D．was refused by the coffee shop
2．The underlined word “favor” in Para.2 refers to “________”．
A．passing the young man a glass of juice
B．exchanging meals with the old man
C．giving the juice to the old man
D．buying lunch for the old man
3．Which of the following can be used to describe the young man?
A．Humorous and helpful.
B．Generous and proud.
C．Rich and friendly.
D．Kind and thoughtful.
4．The young man asked the waitress to take the juice to the old man to________．
A．make friends with the waitress
B．make himself known to others
C．encourage more people to help others
D．prevent himself from being attacked by the old man
答案与解析
在一个咖啡馆里，一个年轻人买了一杯橙汁，并让服务员给门外的一位老人送过去。作者目睹了这一幕并深有感触。
1．B　根据文章第一段中所描述的老人的穿着、所吃的东西以及他失明的右眼可知，老人的境况不怎么好。
2．C　根据文章第二段中划线词后面的The young man asked her to give the juice to that old man eating his lunch outside可知，作者请服务员帮忙做的事情就是将果汁送给老人。
3．D　年轻人给老人买橙汁却又不愿意让老人知道，而且在服务员给老人送橙汁的过程中他一直注意着服务员以确保她的安全，这些情况表明那个年轻人既善良又考虑得很周到。
4．C　根据文章最后一段的第二句可知，那个年轻人让服务员去给老人送橙汁的目的是想鼓励更多的人去帮助别人。

We all know the pyramids in Egypt, but mostly of us don't know the people in Mexico in the old times built pyramids also. They do not build them for tombs. The pyramids in Mexico are not so high as that in Egypt, but they are also very big. There is a wide stairway up to the top in each one pyramid. There is something inside the pyramids, only earth and stones. Scientists think it took 10，000 men more than ten years build the biggest one. How were the people of the old times build the pyramids? Scientists have studied for years, and nobody can tell just why they did it.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
It had been said that the movie __1__(make) by a famous director the next year would be a hit. I had been longing for it.
Yesterday, I__2__(give) two tickets for it. I got dressed beautifully and went to the new movie theatre downtown. This was my first time to be in an American movie theatre, and several things happened that seemed unusual to me. First, I was surprised that people were eating during the movie. Popcorn, candy and soda water__3__(sell) in the theatre. Such things can hardly__4__(see) in my homeland. However, they__5__(sell) well in the US, and young people love eating them. 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. It was also strange for me that popcorn boxes and candy wrappers__8__(leave) on the floor of the theatre. I was also surprised that the movie theatre was so small and narrow. I__9__(tell) that the theatre was big at one time. But it__10__(divide) into several small theatres so that several movies could be shown at the same time. It is said that more money can be made in this way.
答案与解析
1．to be made　“________(make) by a famous director the next year”是定语，修饰the movie。make与the movie之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且时间状语the next year表示该动作还没有发生，故用动词不定式的被动式。
2．was given　主语I与give之间是动宾关系，而且这是在回忆昨天的事，故谓语动词用一般过去时的被动语态。
3．are sold　此空在句中作谓语。主语是“Popcorn, candy and soda water”。动词sell与主语之间是动宾关系，且表示习惯性的行为，故应用一般现在时，故填are sold。
4．be seen　see与主语之间是动宾关系，故用被动语态。情态动词can后面跟动词原形，故用be seen。
5．sell　sell与副词well连用时，表示销售的情况，用主动形式表示被动意义。
6．started　“get＋过去分词”也可以构成被动语态，用于强调动作的结果。
7．being shown　此句的意思是：当片尾字幕正在被放映时，人们就开始离开了。the credits与show之间是动宾关系，表示show这一动作正在进行，故用being shown。
8. were left　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，此处要用一般过去时。故用were left。
9．was told　谓语动词tell与主语I之间是动宾关系，且表示过去的行为。
10．was divided　谓语动词divide与主语it之间是动宾关系，且表示过去的行为。

A
Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believed that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life.“If opens your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfortable zone，”Wegscheider said. She has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you when you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，”said the 30-year-old man. Richardson describes traveling alone as “a shot in the arm”， which makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything. He said，“The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
1．Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A．Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B．It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C．It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D．Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
2．Traveling alone is challenging because__________．
A．you have to make things on your own
B．it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C．you can only depend on yourself whatever happens
D．it will finally build your character
3．What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A．He started traveling alone at an early age.
B．He was once shot in the arm.
C．He used to work as a salesman.
D．His website inspired others a lot.
4．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Travel Abroad
B．Travel Unaccompanied
C．Travel Light
D．Travel Wide and Far
答案与解析
本文介绍了独自旅行的好处、挑战以及感受。
1．A　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“it is something everyone should do”可知答案为A。
2．C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的第一句话“In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map...it is challenging.”可知答案为C。
3．C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的第一句话可知A项错误，而C项正确；根据第四段中的第五句话可知，文章中用的是比喻的修辞手法，并不是胳膊上真的中了一枪，因此B项错误；D项文中未涉及。故答案为C。
4．B　标题归纳题。根据文章第一段中的“traveling around the world on their own”以及下文多次出现的alone一词可知，B项最适合做文章标题，其中unaccompanied意为“无同伴的”，与alone同义。故答案为B。
B
There were a lot of donkeys long ago. The donkeys worked hard every day. They had no time to play or to relax, and they never felt appreciated for the work they did.
One day two donkeys got bored. They wanted to live a comfortable life. So the donkeys went to see a wise old man. They told him their problem. The wise old man agreed that they worked too hard, and he wanted to help the donkeys. “I have an idea，”he said.
“What is your idea？”asked the donkeys.
“I will paint you and no one will know you are donkeys，”said the man.
The man went off to find some paint and he returned in just a few minutes. He had two pots of paint. One pot was filled with white paint, and the other black paint.
The old man first painted them white, and then painted black stripes (条纹) over the white paint. When he finished, the donkeys did not look like donkeys at all.“You no longer look like donkeys.Everyone will be fooled. I will call you something else, zebras，”the old man said.
The zebras went to a field to eat grass. Now they did not have to work.
Soon, other donkeys saw the zebras. They asked the zebras where they came from. When the zebras told the donkeys their secret, the donkeys all rushed to see the old man.
“Make us into zebras, too，”they pleaded．So the wise old man painted more donkeys. As he did, more and more donkeys came.
The old man could not paint fast enough. So the donkeys became impatient. They began to kick about, and they knocked over the paint pots.
There was no more paint. The painted donkeys ran off to become zebras. White the unpainted donkeys, because of their impatience, had to returned to work.
This is why it is important to be patient.
5．The text was written to__________．
A．explain how donkeys became zebras
B．tell a good way to avoid hard work
C．tell an important truth about things
D．explain how zebras got their stripes
6．The two donkeys went to see a wise old man in order to_______．
A．tell him their problem　　　 B．get some grass
C．change into zebras D．ask him for help
7．What does the underlined word “pleaded” mean?
A．Advised. B．Begged.
C．Agreed. D．Ordered.
8．Many donkeys were not painted by the old man because_______．
A．all the paint was used up
B．no more paint was left
C．they waited only a few minutes
D．he was too tired to paint
答案与解析
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过一个寓言故事告诉我们做事要有耐心。
5．C　写作意图题。整篇文章都在讲一个寓言故事，但最后一段使主题得到了升华，即有耐心很重要。故选C。
6．D　细节理解题。题干中的信息“went to see a wise old man”可以在文章的第二段找到相应的句子“So the donkeys went to see a wise old man.”，该句后面的内容讲明了其目的。
7．B　词义猜测题。该词所在的句子“‘Make us into zebras, too，’ they pleaded．”意为“让我们也变成斑马吧。它们________。”advise意为“建议”，agree意为“同意”，order意为“命令”；根据语境可知，它们也想像那些已经刷上漆的驴一样，所以才请求“the wise old man”的帮助。所以A、C、D三项均不符合语境。故选B。
8．B　细节理解题。题干中的“were not painted”是信息词，根据倒数第二段的第一句“There was no more paint.”可知，no more paint was left是原因。故选B。
Ⅴ.语法填空
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
A proverb says，“Time is money.”But in my opinion, time is even__1__precious than money. Why？__2__when money is spent, we can earn it back. However, when time is__3__(go), it will never return.

In a word, we should form the good habit of__9__(save) time. Do not put off what can be done today__10__tomorrow.
答案与解析
1．more　考查形容词比较级。副词even修饰比较级的时候，意为“更加”。句意：但是在我看来，时间要比金钱更重要。
2．Because　考查连词。because因为，引导原因状语从句。用来回答why的问句。句意：为什么？因为当钱用完了，我们可以挣回来。然而，当时间没有了，就再也回不来了。
3．gone　考查形容词。gone不复存在，一去不复返。本句中gone和系动词is构成系表结构。
4．It　考查形式主语。本句中It是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。在英语中，只有it可以充当形式主语和形式宾语。
5．full/good/great　make full/good/great use of...充分利用……。句意：因此为了在未来为我们国家服务，我们应该充分利用我们的时间努力学习。
6．the　考查介词短语。in the future未来。
7．who/that　考查定语从句。本空引导的定语从句的先行词是people，在该定语从句中缺少主语，所以使用who/that指代先行词，并在从句中充当主语。
8．playing　考查固定短语。spend some time (in) doing sth.花费时间做某事，其中的in可以省略。句意：他们把珍贵的时间花在了玩上。
9．saving　考查动名词。本句中介词of的后面要接动名词形式充当宾语。句意：总之，我们应该养成节约时间的好习惯。
10．till/until　考查连词。till/until直到……，该连词引导时间状语从句。句意：不要把今天能做的事情推迟到明天。
