He paused and then went on，“I remember the day.When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile.He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said，‘No, Dad.I'm too old for a good-bye kiss.I'm too old for any kind of kiss.'

For the moment, Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes.“It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back.”
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks.Frank spoke again.“Guys, you don't know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek...to feel his rough old face...to smell the ocean on him...to feel his arm around my neck.I wish I had been a man then.If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a good-bye kiss.”

Taking a Child Fishing
There is nothing quite like seeing the smile on a young person's face when they catch their fish.Here are some simple steps that can be taken to help children and parents enjoy these early fishing experiences.
__1__
It's easier to teach young children to fish if your attention is towards them and not towards your own fishing.If you are also trying to fish, this can make that difficult for both of you.__2__ When they need your help, you can hand down your tool and they can keep fishing.
Keep trips short.
Children have short attention periods.__3__Take this into consideration when planning a trip.When it stops being fun for them, it's time to call it a day.
Bring plenty of snacks and drinks.
Even though most of these trips will be short, they will get hungry and thirsty.Bringing plenty of snacks and drinks gives them a little break from fishing.__4__ You can use this time while they are eating or playing to do some fishing yourself.
Other than fishing.
Just because they are on a fishing trip doesn't mean that they have to finish all the time.Let them do things besides fishing as long as it isn't interfering (打扰)with the people fishing around you.__5__
A stop on the way home for ice cream or other treats can also be a fun part of the trip.Remember it's all about them having fun and hopefully wanting to go fishing with you again.
A．Let them help make choices.
B．Make the fishing trip about them.
C．Children love to feel like they are helping out.
D．This can be more exciting to them than the actual fishing.
E．The same is true if you bring a few small toys for them to play with.
F．One way to solve this problem is for you to use the tool the child can use.
G．An hour or possibly two will be about all of the fishing they can handle in a day.

1．解析：选B 此空是小标题，应该是短小精悍的祈使句，在A、B项中选择。再根据下文内容，“如果你的注意力集中在小孩子身上，而不是你自己钓鱼的话，教他们钓鱼就更容易了。如果你也想钓鱼，这会给你们俩带来困难。”由此推知，B项“Make the fishing trip about them.”(围绕着孩子计划钓鱼)切题。关键词是fishing。故选B。
2．解析：选F 上文提示“如果你也想钓鱼，这会给你们俩带来困难。”承接上下文，F项“One way to solve this problem is for you to use the tool the child can use.”(解决这个问题的一种方法是使用孩子可以使用的工具。)切题。故选F。
3．解析：选G 上文提示“孩子们注意力集中的时间很短。”承接上文，G项“An hour or possibly two will be about all of the fishing they can handle in a day.”(他们一天大约能钓一个或两个小时的鱼。)切题。故选G。
4．解析：选E 上文提示“带上足够的零食和饮料可以让他们在钓鱼的间隙放松一下。”承接上文，E项“The same is true if you bring a few small toys for them to play with.”(如果你带一些小玩具给他们玩，情况也是一样。)切题。故选E。
5．解析：选D 上文提示“让他们做一些钓鱼以外的事情，只要不干扰你周围的人钓鱼。”承接上文，D项“This can be more exciting to them than the actual fishing.”(对他们来说，这比真正的钓鱼更令人兴奋。)切题。故选D。

A
A Vietnamese man hopes to raise the quality of education in his country by building “parent libraries” in rural schools.Nguyen Quang Thach provides libraries to the schools so books are more available in farming communities.He works with publishers in Hanoi to get the books at reduced rates for teachers and their students.
Mr.Thach says most schools have enough textbooks.But he says many poor families have few books at home and do not visit school libraries.He learned this by talking with farmers, workers and students.
More than 90 percent of Vietnam's population can read and write.But academic performance in the schools remains low compared to other Southeast Asian nations.Corruption is a big part of the problem.Vietnamese media often have stories about teachers giving high grades in exchange for money.
Some experts criticize teaching methods that depend heavily on dictation.They say asking students to repeat everything a teacher says to the class harms their ability to think for themselves.
Nguyen Quang Thach says he wants people to invest money in books for a better future.To date, almost 1,000 parent libraries have been built in Thai Binh Province, Hundreds of books are in each one.Several other provinces have copied this model.
For each school, Mr.Thach helps build libraries for up to four classes.Other people then follow his example.Parents of school children pay three dollars each for the first year and one dollar in other years.
The head of the An Duc Secondary School, Pham Duc Duong, told reporter Marianne Brown that Mr.Thach's work has improved the quality of education.
“He says students have been doing better in competitions, especially in social science.”
Duong Le Nga heads the school youth group.She says that after the libraries were built, students started asking teachers more questions.The students also set up debating teams.She thinks Mr.Thach's example helps students think more creatively—“outside the box.”
The deputy head of the school, Uong Minh Thanh, says many students there will work in factories.But after seeing the influence of the new libraries, he hopes the children will set high goals for themselves.

B
I started out in life with few advantages.I did not graduate from high school.I worked at menial(不体面的)jobs.I had limited education, limited skills and a limited future.
And then I began asking，“Why are some people more successful than others？” This question changed my life.
Over the years, I have read thousands of books and articles on the subjects of success and achievement (成就)．It seems that the reasons for these accomplishments have been discussed and written about for more than two thousand years, in every possible way.One quality that most philosophers, teachers and experts agree on is the importance of self-discipline (自律)．As Al Tomsik summarized it years ago，“Success is tons of discipline.”
Some years ago, I attended a conference in Washington.It was the lunch break and I was eating at a nearby food fair.The area was crowded and I sat down at the last open table by myself, even though it was a table for four.A few minutes later, an older gentleman and a younger woman who was his assistant came along carrying trays of food, obviously looking for a place to sit.With plenty of room at my table, I immediately arose and invited the older gentleman to join me.He was hesitant, but I insisted.Finally, thanking me as he sat down, we began to chat over lunch.
It turned out that his name was Kop Kopmeyer.As it happened, I immediately knew who he was.He was a legend in the field of success and achievement.Kop Kopmeyer had written four large books, each of which contained 250 success principles that he had obtained from more than fifty years of research and study.I had read all four books from cover to cover, more than once.
After we had chatted for a while, I asked him the question that many people in this situation would ask，“Of all the one thousand success principles that you have discovered, which do you think is the most important？”
He smiled at me with a twinkle in his eye, as if he had been asked this question many times, and replied, without hesitating，“The most important success principle of all was stated by Thomas Huxley many years ago.He said，‘Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.’”
He went on to say，“There are 999 other success principles that I have found in my reading and experience, but without self-discipline, none of them work.”
【解题导语】 这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章作者通过自己的亲身经历说明了自律的力量。
5．Why did the writer ask the question in Paragraph 2?

A．The Magic of Reading
B．An Unexpected Conversation

?The platypus is found in the streams and rivers in eastern Australia. It has a bill like a duck, thick fur and a large flat tail. It lives in burrows which it digs with its sharp, webbed claws. The male platypus can grow to about sixty centimeters in length. ?The female is slightly smaller and usually brown in colour. She lays two or three eggs at a time.
To keep the eggs warm, the female platypus folds her body into a half-sitting position. She holds eggs between her belly and her broad tail, curling her nose over the eggs. She then breathes warm, humid air over the eggs to help them incubate.?She stays in this position for about ten days until the eggs hatch. The mother platypus suckles her young for three months until they are ready to leave the burrows.

Not long ago, a good friend of mine asked me to help him in a halfway house in Nashville.I agreed and made my way there one evening.
When I got there, I sat with my friend and talked about how he ended up there.As we talked, another man came up, lighting up his cigarette as he sat down.He had dark, leather skin, and looked like he had endured the sun, the rain, and the wind for long, long time.I couldn't tell how old he was, but I was sure that he was younger than he looked.
Through a bit of conversation, I found out that he had been on the streets for many, many years.
Without my asking, he started describing life as a homeless man.How he got food；how he stayed warm；how he got money.And he told me something that caught my attention.
He said，“You want to know how I keep my stuff safe at night？”
“Sure，” I replied.
“I put it up in the trees.”
“Why is it safe in the trees？” I asked.
“The homeless are always looking for treasure on the ground—coins, something someone's dropped, half-smoked cigarettes.I know if I put my stuff in the trees, they'll never find it because they never look up.Never.”
Profound words from an unexpected place.And his message is for all of us.
We all have our particular search.We're looking for treasure on this earth.But what we are REALLY looking for is right there above us.There's really nothing we need on the ground.
In fact, it's surrounding us.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者去纳什维尔给一个朋友帮忙，在与一个无家可归的人的闲谈中，那个人说他把自己的东西放在树上是安全的，因为无家可归的人总是低头在地上找东西，从来不抬头向上看，作者由此意识到有时我们苦苦寻找的东西其实就在我们身边。

German engineers Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz built the first successful gasoline engines in 1885.After 1900，however，the United States became a leader in automobile production.
The first cars were handmade and very expensive.Only people in rich cities could afford them.The first company to make gasoline cars in the U．S.was the Duryea Motor Wagon Company.Then，in 1901，Ransom E．Olds began mass-producing his car，the Oldsmobile.In 1913 Henry Ford made great strides in the mass production of cars by using an assembly line in his factory.Mass production meant that each car was less expensive to make.Now car ownership was affordable for the average person.By 1916 there were more than one million cars in the United States.
The automobile gave people the freedom to travel anywhere there were passable roads.Families that lived great distance apart could travel by automobile to visit each other.People could visit places they had never seen before.
Before the mass production of cars，people lived close to work.Their means of transportation included walking，riding a bicycle，using a horse and carriage，or taking a train.The automobile gave people the ability to live farther away from work.The result was that gradually people moved out of the cities to the less crowded suburbs.
The automobile industry created millions of jobs.The jobs were not just in the auto factories，where the cars were assembled.Workers were needed to make auto parts，run gas stations and repair shops，and work at new motels and restaurants that served people who traveled by car.Jobs became available at car rental companies.People were needed to build roads.These jobs and many others still exist because of the automobile.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了汽车从手工制造到大规模生产的发展以及汽车对人们生活的影响。

解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“German engineers Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz built the first successful gasoline engines in 1885.”可知，德国工程师Gottlieb Daimler和Karl Benz于1885年成功制造了世界上第一台汽油发动机，由此推知世界上第一辆汽车是德国制造的，故D项正确。
29．From Paragraph 2, we know that mass production cars were ________ than handmade ones.
A．more difficult to make B．more expensive
C．much cheaper D．easier to operate
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The first cars were handmade and very expensive.Only people in rich cities could afford them.”可知，手工制造的汽车很昂贵，只有富裕城市的人才能买得起，再根据“Mass production meant that each car was less expensive to make.Now car ownership was affordable for the average person.”可知，大规模生产意味着汽车的生产成本更低，普通人也买得起汽车了，由此推知大规模生产的汽车比手工制造的要便宜很多，故C项正确。

A．people's living areas expanded
B．people lived closer to their work
C．cities became more crowded
D．people rushed to the suburbs
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The automobile gave people the ability to live farther away from work.The result was that gradually people moved out of the cities to the less crowded suburbs.”可知，有了汽车，人们可以开车去离家很远的地方上班，逐渐从城市搬到不那么拥挤的郊区，也就是人们的生活面积扩大了，故A项正确。
31．The automobiles industry ________.

Getting stuck in a traffic jam is one of the most boring problems for people living in big cities.The fact that you're moving so slowly leads to stress, anger and the wish that your car could just fly over the traffic like an airplane.
Soon, however, that wish could come true.On May 8, US car-renting company Uber showed off what it described as “the transportation mode of the future：on-demand air transport，”reported ABC News.
According to Nikhill Goel, head of products for Uber Air, the company's air taxi service may launch test flights in the US cities of Dallas and Los Angeles, as well as Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, as early as 2020.If everything goes according to plan, passengers will be able to fly to work by 2023.
When the Olympics comes to Los Angeles in 2028, Uber “expects to have hundreds, if not thousands, of its aircraft in the skies.” Goel told Newsweek.
So what would Uber's flying vehicles be like?
They are small, electric aircraft that take off and land vertically (垂直地), and they give off zero emissions (排放)and are quiet enough to operate in cities.
Just like an airplane, the vehicles will have fixed wings to help them glide.But while a helicopter has just one big fixed rotor (定量)．Uber's vehicles will have multiple rotors, which will help increase fuel efficiency (效率)while reducing emissions and noise.
Because of these fixed wines and multiple rotors, Uber's flying taxis“should be quieter and safer than a helicopter”. reported ABC News.
However, the service still has a long way to go before it's ready to accept passengers.For example, to avoid any potential accidents.Uber is working with NASA to study air traffic control problems associated with low-flying aircraft.But just as Dubai's Mayor Betty Price said in a news release.“This program is revolutionary and future-oriented (面向未来的)．”

第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
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。
How old is “old”？
How old is “old”？__36__Two hundred years ago, you were old at 35.That was the average life then.At the turn of this century, as medical knowledge advanced, the average life span(长度)increased to 45.In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old.Today, a healthy 70-year-old is looking forward to many more active years.
So, how old is old？The answer is one you've heard many times, from all sorts of people.“You are as old (or young)as you feel！” The calendar(日历)simply tells you how many years you have lived.__37__
Once an unknown author wrote，“__38__Nobody grows old by living a number of years；people grow old by giving up their goals.”
__39__Alice Brophy, when she was with the New York City commission for the aging, said，“It upsets me when people say，‘Gee, you look young for your age！’ What does that mean？Is there some model that you're supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85？You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80.”
There are many wrong ideas about aging.__40__Here are some of the more common ones.For example, most older people are in poor health, or older people are unable to change.
A．Old is a point of view.
B．It's extremely terrible to be grown old.
C．The answer has changed over the years.
D．Your body tells you how well you've lived.
E．Older people are stubborn, unable to change.
F．Youth is not a time of life but it is a state of mind.
G．These ideas stereotype (固化)people on the basis of age.
【解题导语】 本文为夹叙夹议文。本文讲述了到底多大才算是老年人，后来总结出心态比实际年龄更重要这一观点。并以“aging”为话题展开讨论，意在教育人们要保持一颗不老的心灵，永怀远大理想。
36．解析：选C 本空是后面一段的中心句。根据后面的内容“Two hundred years ago, ...At the turn of this century，...In 1950，70-year-olds were really old.Today, a healthy 70-year-old is looking forward to many more active years.”可知，对于“老年”的定义，多年来一直在变。分析选项，可知C(老年的定义这些年一直在变)符合题意，故选C。
37．解析：选D 根据上文“The calendar (日历) simply tells you how many years you have lived.”可知，日历只告诉你活了多少岁，但是身体告诉你，自己是有多年轻。分析选项可知D项“Your body tells you how well you've lived.”符合题意，故选D。
38．解析：选F 根据下句“Nobody grows old by living a number of years；people grow old by giving up their goals.”可知没人因为活了许多岁变老了，只是由于无法实现自己的目标知道自己老了。可知，青春不是你活了多久，而是一种精神状态。分析选项，可知F符合题意，故选F。
39．解析：选A 本空格是一段的中心句。根据后面文章的内容可知，老还是年轻，是取决于自己的观点。分析选项可知，A项(老是一种观点)符合题意，故选A。
40．解析：选G 本小题也是一段的中心句。根据“For example，most older people are in poor health，or older people are unable to change.”可知，这些想法都是根据年龄作的比较常见的评价。由此可知，对于年老这件事，许多都是人们对此的固化想法。分析选项可知G项(这些基于年龄的观点是固有的)符合题意，故选G。
