(2019·成都市高中测试)
The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl,yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards. When somebody asks her,“How do you hear?”She responds,“How do you hear?Is it only with your ears?”For Glennie,and for us too,listening is not only hearing,but is understanding. We need to listen to what is said and unsaid,and also how it is said.
It's important to hear what people say accurately. As Mark Twain said,“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug(萤火虫).”If you miss something or you're not sure you've heard accurately, ask the speakers. At this point you're not evaluating what they say,but just looking for accuracy and understanding. Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don't say. Why are they saying this now, instead of sooner or later?Why are they emphasizing these points,instead of something else?
Listen to how it is said. People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say. While going through the next points,think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss, and see if any of these signals might come up. First, voices. When others speak,notice gestures,eye contact,and tone. Second,body language. Notice gestures,eye contact,and facial expressions. Do these sync what they are saying,or do they tell a different story?Third,emotions. What is the person true feeling?Now you might not know for sure,but be considerate,open to understanding,and ask thoughtful questions.
【解题导语】 本文讲述了聆听的内涵。我们要听懂说话人想要表达的言外之意,并且要注意说话方式。
1.What's the writer's purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie?
A.To give an example of wise words.
B.To introduce a world-famous musician.
C.To help explain the meaning of listening.
D.To encourage us to fight against disability.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For Glennie,and for us too,listening is not only hearing,but is understanding.”可知,对于Glennie和“我们”来说,聆听不仅是用耳朵听而且是理解,这里说明了聆听的内涵。所以选项C正确。
2.What can we learn from what Mark Twain said?
A.It is important to have a good knowledge of English words.
B.People should know words can be used in many different ways.
C.English is a very complicated language with a large vocabulary.
D.The slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It's important to hear what people say accurately.”和“At this point you're not evaluating what they say,but just looking for accuracy and understanding.”可知,准确听懂说话者的意思很重要。因此,选项D“词语的细微差异可能导致误解”与Mark Twain所说的话意思相吻合。
3.What does the underlined word “sync” probably mean?
A.Match. B.Prove.
C.Describe. D.Analyze.
解析:选A 词义猜测题。画线词前的修饰词these指代前一句中的“gestures,eye contact,and facial expressions”;再根据画线词后的“what they are saying,or do they tell a different story”可推断,match(匹配)与画线词意思相近。故选A。
4.Which is the best title of this passage?
A.Speak While You Listen
B.Listen Beyond Words
C.Read Between Lines
D.Think as You Talk
解析:选B 标题判断题。本文主要说明通过观察说话人的说话方式来听懂说话人想表达的言外之意。所以选B。
Ⅳ.完形填空

1.A.found out B.gave up
C.took over D.came across

2.A.possibly B.recently
C.finally D.seriously
解析:选C 根据上下文可知,Fritz Kreisler当时没有钱买那把小提琴,最后终于凑够了钱才回去买它。
3.A.show B.pick

解析:选A 根据下文中的“...the collector said it was one of his valuable possessions”可知,此处应选collector。
5.A.expect B.persuade
C.help D.force
解析:选B 上文说Fritz Kreisler十分想买那把小提琴,下文中又有收藏家坚持不卖小提琴的细节,由此可知,此处是说Fritz Kreisler试着说服收藏家把小提琴卖给他。
6.A.Besides B.Otherwise
C.However D.Therefore
解析:选C Fritz Kreisler希望收藏家能把小提琴卖给他,而收藏家却说那把小提琴是他最宝贵的财富之一,前后句之间是转折关系,故选C项。
7.A.angry B.disappointed
C.helpless D.brave
解析:选B 收藏家没有将小提琴卖给购琴心切的Fritz Kreisler,所以Fritz Kreisler应该会感到失落,所以应选disappointed。
8.A.so that B.unless

C.time D.interest
解析:选A 根据下文中的“‘The violin is yours,Mr. Kreisler.’”可知,收藏家听完Fritz Kreisler的演奏之后认为他自己没有“权利(right)”继续拥有那把小提琴,所以把它送给了Fritz Kreisler。
13.A.discuss B.use
C.know D.hear
解析:选D 根据上下文的内容可知,收藏家希望更多的人能“听到(hear)”小提琴的美妙乐音。下文中的“our__14__is meant to be heard”也是提示。
14.A.story B.music
C.message D.voice
解析:选B 上一句说“For you and I are excellent violins”,所以此处应选music。
15.A.word B.instrument
C.life D.work

16.A.dressed up B.used up
C.beaten up D.woken up
解析:选B 根据上文中的“live it fully”可知,作者希望自己的生活充实一些,宁可终日繁忙也不愿虚度年华。use up在此表示“使筋疲力尽”。

A
How do you address(称呼) people in English when you want to talk to them? The following may be some simple rules the beginners should follow.
1. When talking to strangers there is often no special form of address in English. Usually, if you want to catch the attention of a stranger it is necessary to use such phrases as “Excuse me”.
2. In British English “Sir” and “Madam” are considered to be too formal(正式的) for most situations. They are used mostly to customers(顾客) in shops or restaurants. While in American English “Sir” and “Madam” are not so formal and are commonly used between strangers, especially with older people whose names you don't know.
3. When you talk to some people you know, you can use their names. If you are friends, use their first names; if your relationship is more formal, use “Mr.” “Mrs.” “Ms.”, etc., before their family names.
4. There are many other forms of address which can be used between friends and strangers. However, many of these are limited in use. For example, “pal” and “mate” can be used between strangers, but are usually only used by men talking to other men.
【解题导语】 想和人用英语交流,如何开场呢?本文有几种方式,供初学者学习和模仿。
1.According to the passage, “Excuse me” is mainly used to ________.
A.address a person you don't know
B.apologize to others
C.catch the attention of a stranger
D.suggest good manners
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第1条中“...if you want to catch the attention of a stranger it is necessary to use such phrases as ‘Excuse me’”.可知答案为C。
2.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.“Sir” and “Madam” are used more often in America than in England.
B.People often use “Mr.” “Mrs.” or “Ms.” before the first names of those people who they don't know very well.
C.“Pal” and “mate” are usually only used between men.
D.While addressing friends, people just use their first names.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据原文可知A、C、D三项说法是正确的;根据第3条中“...if your relationship is more formal, use ‘Mr.’‘Mrs.’‘Ms.’, etc., before their family names.”可知B项说法是错误的,所以此题答案为B。
3.The passage is most likely taken from an English ________.
A.textbook B.card
C.storybook D.grammar book
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据常识可知card(卡片)、storybook(故事书)、grammar book(语法书)里都不可能有这种文章,只有textbook(课本)中才可能有这种文章,所以答案为A。
B
(2019·河南八校联考)
Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos (禁忌) in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting—and they can cover pretty much or any topic—as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent (智慧的) manner.
In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious(和谐的) business relationship they're trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.
As a general rule, it's best not to talk about politics or religion(宗教) with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one's salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host's team.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了不同国家非正式谈话的常见话题和一些禁忌。
4.The author considers politics and religion ________.
A.cheerful topics B.taboos
C.rude topics D.too serious
解析:选B 细节理解题。从最后一段第一句话可知答案选B。
5.We typically talk about ________ in a friendly way in most places according to the author.
A.sports B.children
C.personal feelings D.families
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world...”可知答案选A。
6.Why are people from Asia more private in their conversation with others?
A.They don't want to talk with others much.
B.They don't want to have their good relationship with others harmed by informal conversation.
C.They are afraid to argue with their colleagues.
D.They want to keep their feelings to themselves.
解析:选B 推理判断题。从第二段第三句话可以推知,日本人、中国人、韩国人不分享他们的思想、感受及情感,是因为他们认为会破坏和谐的商业关系。
7.In which country may it be suitable to talk about the family with your business friends?
A.In France. B.In Saudi Arabia.
C.In Korea. D.In the USA.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知答案为D。
Ⅳ.七选五
How to avoid a boring conversation
What excuses should you use to avoid talking to people you don't want to talk to?Here are tips and inoffensive ways to get out of unwanted conversations.
1.Go for a refill(续杯).
It is natural for anyone at a party to be excused to get a refill. __1__And once you excuse yourself,make a move fast before the person requests you to get a refill for him as well.
2.Pretend bad mood.
Cut off the conversation before it starts by saying something along the lines of “I'm not in a good mood.Can I talk to you later if you don't mind?” __2__Say it firmly so that people get the message loud and clear.
3.Ask your friend to save you.
__3__Simply text your friend and ask him or her to come for apparently something important.You will be able to skip a boring chat with a seemingly reasonable excuse.
__4__
You are advised to look away from that person and don't make eye contact,so that you can give powerful hints(暗示)that you find the conversation extremely boring.__5__Be sure to tune in to the conversation every now and then so you don't come across as rude.
A.Behave in an obviously careless way.
B.Just be sure that the person you are talking to does not offer to accompany you to do so.
C.Don't act too polite in an attempt to draw sympathy.
D.Use body language to indicate boredom.
E.Your friend is bound to perform brilliantly in coping with the dull one.
F.Look elsewhere and pretend that something else has caught your attention.
G.Stuck in an unwanted conversation,how do you get out of it?
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了怎样避免无聊的谈话。
1.解析:选B 选项B中的so就是指空前的“get a refill”这一行为;同时空后的“make a move fast...as well”与选项B的内容相呼应。
2.解析:选C 空后的代词it指代空处前一句中的“‘I'm not in a good mood.Can I talk to you later if you don't mind?’”,所以空处及后一句与这一问题有关;同时后一句中的“Say it firmly”与选项C“不要为了获得同情而表现得太礼貌”在内容和语气方面是一致的。
3.解析:选G 根据该段的主题句以及空后两句可知,空后的两句话是对选项G这一疑问句的回答,选项G能够引出下文,符合语境。
4.解析:选D 根据上文中的主题句都使用祈使句这一特点可知,该段也应用祈使句作主题句;同时根据该段中的第一句可知,把目光从这个人身上移开,不要有眼神交流,这样可以给对方强烈的暗示,使其发现这段谈话极其无聊,这与选项D“使用肢体语言暗示厌烦”相吻合。
5.解析:选F 空处起承上启下的作用,且根据该段主题句可知,使用肢体语言暗示厌烦,所以选项F“看向别处并假装你的注意力被其他东西吸引”与之吻合。

A
At nine most mornings the same scene is repeated in office buildings around the world. An employee walks into the lift with his boss and apart from a mumbled(咕噜的)“good morning”, the junior is lost for words. That's an opportunity missed, say experts, who believe that such an obviously dull 30-second conversation can be invaluable for those who want to climb the career (职业) ladder. “Small talk can help set up a relationship upon which you can build,”says Dusseldorf communications advisor Torsten Knobble.
As a matter of fact, the importance of small talk goes far beyond the relationship to one's boss. People who fail the art of speaking a lot without actually saying anything find it harder to cultivate relationships in the workplace, believes Ulrich Goldschmidt, director of the senior management association VDF in Essen.
“Small talk is a necessary part of networking,”he says. Actually every conversation begins and ends with small talk, according to Wolf Lasko, who has written a book on the topic and its bearing on career futures.
Not everyone is good at small talk. It takes skill to pick the right moment and the right topic with which to start a conversation. There are plenty of topics although some are not suitable for informal chat. Safe topics include holidays, the movies, music or sports. Besides, body language is part of small talk; it's not a good idea to stand around with arms folded.
Small talk is a question of closeness and distance. For a few employees, it's never a bad idea to hold back at the beginning and familiarize themselves with the company culture first.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了闲聊在职业中的必要性和重要性。
1.The main subject discussed in the text is that________.
A.small talk needs skills
B.every conversation begins and ends with small talk
C.small talk is a question of closeness and distance
D.small talk is necessary to your career
解析:选D 主旨大意题。通读文章可知本文的主题应是闲聊(small talk)在职业中的必要性和重要性。
2.Why is the junior lost for words while walking into the lift with his boss?
A.He is not familiar with the boss and the company.
B.He doesn't expect that his boss will be with him.
C.He is not good at developing a relationship.
D.He is not interested in holidays, music or sports.
解析:选C 推理判断题。由上下文可推测出下级见了上级无话可说是因为他不善于与人沟通。
3.The underlined word“cultivate”in the text probably means“________”.
A.develop B.break up
C.familiarize D.bring up
解析:选A 词义猜测题。由该词所在句的句意“不懂讲话艺术,也不说话的人发现在工作场所与人发展关系很难。”可猜出。
4.We may infer from the text that________.
A.standing around with arms folded is welcome during small talk
B.people who fail the art of speaking do not want to climb the career ladder
C.any topic is suitable for small talk
D.not everyone is good at picking the right topic with which to start a conversation
解析:选D 推理判断题。由文章第四段一、二句可知,D项正确。
B
Social media is one of the fastest-growing industries in today's world. A study conducted by the US Pew Research Center showed that 92 percent of teenagers go online daily. The wide spread of social media has changed nearly all parts of teenagers' lives.
?Changing relationships
High school student Elly Cooper from Illinois said social media often reduces face-to-face communication.“It makes in-person relationships harder because of people's attention given to their phones instead of their friends,”Cooper said.
Yet,some people believe social media has made it easier to start relationships with anyone from anywhere. Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long-distance friend through social media. He currently lives in Scotland,but they're still able to frequently communicate with each other.“I can feel close to someone that I'm talking to via FaceTime,”Kaplan said.
?Wanting to be “liked”
The rise of social media has changed the way teenagers see themselves. The 19-year-old Essena O'Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she was quitting social media because it made her unable to stop thinking about appearing perfect online.

【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了如何让家更安全。
1.解析:考查非谓语动词。固定搭配 wait to do sth.意为“等着做某事”,符合语境。
答案:to happen
2.解析:考查介词。固定搭配 look after意为“照看”,与“while their parents go away”呼应。
答案:after
3.解析:考查冠词。break意为“休息”,是可数名词,此处表泛指,故用不定冠词修饰。
答案:a
4.解析:考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词,故用副词totally修饰形容词OK,在句中作状语。
答案:totally
5.解析:考查名词的数。surprise此处意为“意想不到的事”,是可数名词,且被a few修饰,故用复数形式。
答案:surprises
6.解析:考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为“the spare bedroom”, in which=where。
答案:which
7.解析:考查时态。in case引导的状语从句中,从句用虚拟语气,常用should+do的形式;也可以不用虚拟语气,主从句时态一致。
答案:tries/should try
8.解析:考查代词。空处作谓语动词find的宾语,因此应用宾格形式。
答案:them
9.解析:考查词性转换。修饰名词应用形容词,故用形容词dangerous在句中作定语修饰room,与the most呼应。
答案:dangerous
10.解析:考查动词语态。句子主语Knives与keep构成动宾关系,故用被动语态be kept。
答案:be kept
Ⅳ.书面表达
假设你是李华,最近从你的美国笔友Sandy的email中得知你的另一个笔友John迷上了打电子游戏。请你根据下面的提示用英语给John写一封电子邮件劝说他不要沉迷游戏。
1.告知如何得知信息;
2.描述沉迷于打电子游戏的危害(导致视力下降、浪费金钱、影响学习等);
3.你的建议。
注意:
1.词数 100左右;
2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
_________________________________________________________________

One possible version:
Dear John,
I am sorry to learn from Sandy that you are addicted to playing computer games.
In some way, playing computer games can help us relax. But it's not good to be addicted to it. First, it will cause you to be near-sighted. Second, it may cost you a lot of money. What's more, it will have a bad effect on your study, for you spend most time on playing computer games.
So you'd better get rid of your bad habit and there are ways to help you. When you feel like playing computer games, try doing something else. Moreover, taking up a new hobby is a nice idea. Hope you will give it up soon.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

Good evening, everyone. Do you know at what age a child becomes an adult?The answer depends on your culture or religion.
First, in some North American Indian cultures, a boy became a man around the age of 13. At that time, ?he would go into the woods alone, without food or water, for several days. When he returned safely, he became an adult man.
In Japan today, young people become legal adults at age 20. Each year on January 15, they wear traditional clothes, ?listen to speeches, and visit old friends.
Finally, in the United States, the passage into adulthood takes several years. American teenagers can get a driver's license at the age of 16. ?The legal age of adulthood is 18. However, they must wait until age 21 to buy alcohol.
?OK, that's all for my lecture. You are required to write a summary of this class.

Few kids today are taught the value of sympathy(同情心). It seems so hard for people to have sympathy for others and to understand what they are going through.
As a child I was taught to try to make someone else happy. My mom would tell me to say at least one kind word to someone every day. I admit that it isn't very easy to do. But as soon as you see the look of thankfulness in that person's eyes you just want to do as much as you can.
I had an experience with a guy people were always making fun of. Every time I saw that happening, I knew in my heart that it was wrong. I decided I would try to be his friend. I started playing with him and introducing him to people. By just doing that I was making him so happy. And I loved the fact that I was really making a difference in his life.
After a while I realized that he wasn't the kind of person everybody thought he was. And to this day we are still really good friends. People have almost completely stopped making fun of him. But he never changed. What had changed was the hearts of others around him.
From this experience I've learned to be kind to other people. What I did for my friend was so easy. And at the same time I had a lot of fun. So I hope that everyone can say a kind word to someone else at least once a day. I can promise you that it will be the best feeling you ever get,knowing that one word can make someone's day a bit brighter.
【解题导语】 作者通过自己的一段经历告诉读者要与人为善。
24.Why did the author decide to make friends with the boy mentioned?
A.Because he wanted to change him to a person others liked.
B.Because he thought it was not right of others to laugh at him.
C.Because the boy was very funny.
D.Because he liked making friends.
解析:选B 细节理解题。从第三段中的“I had an experience with a guy people were always making fun of. Every time I saw that happening,I knew in my heart that it was wrong”可知,作者之所以决定和那个男孩交朋友是因为他认为别人嘲笑他是不对的。
25.The third and fourth paragraphs tell us that ________.
A.one's attitude to others can be changed
B.one's nature can be changed with time
C.the author found more people to help the guy
D.it is very easy to make friends with others
解析:选A 推理判断题。从第四段最后两句“But he never changed. What had changed was the hearts of others around him.”可知,一个人的本性是不会改变的,改变的是别人对他的态度。
26.We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.
A.having a lot of fun will help live a good life
B.it is a hard thing to say a kind word to others
C.a kind word may benefit both the speaker and the listener
D.few people know how to make someone's day a bit brighter
解析:选C 推理判断题。本段是对全文内容的总结,同时也指出“I can promise you that it will be the best feeling you ever get, knowing that one word can make someone's day a bit brighter.”。由此可知,最后一段旨在说明说善良的话能使说话者和听话者都受益。
27.What's the purpose of the author writing the text?
A.To call on people to be kind to others.
B.To express his admiration for his mother.
C.To invite more people to make friends with him.
D.To tell people what he learned from his mother.
解析:选A 写作意图题。第二段中作者提到他的母亲曾经告诉他“say at least one kind word to someone every day”,然后作者通过自己的经历说明他是如何做到的,最后一段作者提出希望“everyone can say a kind word to someone else at least once a day”,故作者写此文的目的是号召更多的人友善地对待他人。
C
Just a few months ago,when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City,where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register,I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city,and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward,I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Months later,I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In the late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day,and the battery was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford Dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment;so when I got home,I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you,and it meant a lot,he said.
“Thank you”—two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.

We know a lot about the advantages and disadvantages of reading a hard-copy book vs reading electronically. The problem is many of us refuse to listen.
Don't get me wrong: Digital reading has some real advantages. Ask people what they like most about reading on digital screens, and you hear over and over again about convenience. More points for digital reading:e-books tend to be cheaper. There's also the environmental argument. Think of the trees!
Yet the soundness of this case is arguable. The earth metals to build e-readers are not just rare but highly poisonous. And think about all that energy needed to run servers and cooling fans. And remember, trees are a renewable resource.
Then, there's the appeal of a hard copy. Many people prefer print when reading both for pleasure and for school or work. Drawing examples from my own research, some of the reasons are aesthetic (美学的).Others involve a sense of accomplishment, ease of annotation (“I can write on the pages”), and navigation (“easy to locate where I was”).Meanwhile, I hear abundant complaints about eye strain (眼疲劳) and headaches when using screens.
Much of what students liked about reading print involved their minds. They say “it's easier to focus”.Some also acknowledged they took more time with printed text and read more carefully.
But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration. More than 92% of those I surveyed said they concentrated best when reading a hard copy. When a digital device has an Internet connection, it's hard to resist the temptation (诱惑).
So if digital interruptions don't threaten your enjoyment or understanding of a text, then medium may not matter. Casual reading like David Baldacci. If you break to check sports scores, there will be little harm done. But just don't expect to understand Joyce's novels this way.
【解题导语】 文章主要介绍了在网络高度发达的社会中,电子书有愈来愈替代纸质书的趋势,然而作者通过对比两者的优缺点表达了对纸质书的青睐。
32.What is an advantage of reading a hard-copy book?
A.It is cheaper.
B.It is easier to carry around.
C.It helps people think deeper.
D.It provides instant information.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“...involved their minds...‘it's easier to focus’...with printed text and read more carefully.”可知,读纸质书能让人更专注、更认真,因此思考更深入。故选C项。
33.What's the biggest problem of reading digitally?
A.Environmental concern.
B.Physical discomfort.
C.Lack of concentration.
D.Internet connection.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据文章第六段第一句“But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration.”可知,电子书阅读的最大问题是缺乏专注。故选C项。
34.What's the author's attitude toward e-reading?
A.Supportive. B.Disapproving.
C.Optimistic. D.Unconcerned.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据文章第三至六段尤其是最后一段可知,作者认为,如果电子阅读不会影响你阅读的愉悦感和对文本的理解,那么无可厚非。但是读类似乔伊斯的作品时就不是合适的选择了。由此可推测,作者对电子阅读持不赞成的态度。故选B项。
35.How is the passage mainly developed?
A.By analyzing possible reasons.
B.By providing typical examples.
C.By listing practical suggestions.
D.By presenting direct comparisons.
解析:选D 推理判断题。文章的第二段主要讲了电子书的好处,第三段讲了电子书的缺点,第四、五段主要讲了纸质书的益处,第六段讲了电子书的缺点。因此整个文章是通过比较来展开的。故选D项。

Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen, you're going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. __36__
Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation—for now. __37__ Listen to what your parents are saying,and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you're listening. __38__
Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each other's feelings can disagree without things getting ugly.

【解题导语】 本篇主要介绍了青春期的少年应如何与父母和平共处。作者就此提出了几条建议。文章共七段:前两段先提出问题:青少年如何与父母和平相处;后五段提出了解决青少年与父母之间冲突的方法。
36.解析:选F 由上文“As a teen, you're going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding.”可以看出十几岁的少年在心理和身体上正发生变化,兴趣变得广泛。F项“And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.”正是青少年的心理和身体上的变化之一。
37.解析:选B 上文“If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation—for now.”中的“for now”与B项中的“again”为顺接关系,故选B项。
38.解析:选A 由上文“Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you're listening.”可知,作者建议青少年倾听父母的话。A项“It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you're not on the same page.”与其为顺承关系,故选A项。
39.解析:选E 下文讲述青少年如何与父母建立信任,E项是介绍这方面内容的,故选E项。
40.解析:选G 上文“...but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky?”说青少年与父母之间关系紧张,下文介绍可以求助老师或教练。G项内容符合文意。
第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)
第一节 (共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Facial expressions carry meaning that depends on situations and relationships. For instance, in American culture the smile is typically an expression of __41__. Yet it has other functions. A smile may __42__ love, politeness,or __43__ every true feeling. It is also a source of confusion across __44__. For example, many people in Russia __45__ smiling at strangers in public just to be unsure or even suspicious(怀疑的). Yet many Americans __46__ freely at strangers in public places.
Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong __47__; some Americans believe that Russians don't smile __48__. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is __49__ used to cover emotional or mental difficulty, discomfort or anxiety.
Our __50__ make our emotions and attitudes known, but we __51__ not try to “read” people from another culture __52__ we could “read” someone from our own culture. The __53__ of facial expressions one shows changes among persons and cultures. The __54__ that members of one culture do not __55__ their emotions as openly as members of __56__ do does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather their cultures __57__ them expressing their emotions and attitudes freely.
If we __58__ people whose ways of showing emotions are not the same according to our own cultural __59__, we may make the mistakes of “reading” the other persons __60__.
【解题导语】 微笑这一常见的面部表情常给人快乐、友谊、赞同的感觉,但因为文化背景的不同,微笑表达的意思和方式存在着差异。
41.A.satisfaction B.excitement
C.surprise D.pleasure
解析:选D 词语辨析题。pleasure的概括性最强,指高兴、满意、兴奋等多种欢乐的感觉。
42.A.sound B.show
C.tell D.seem
解析:选B 词语辨析题。笑除了表示快乐之外,它还可用来“表明”爱,有礼貌等。show在此表示“表明”,文章最后一段亦有提示。
43.A.include B.explain
C.cover D.suggest
解析:选C 词汇复现题。此处cover与上文的show意思相同,表示“包括、涵盖”,下文第二段中也有提示,表示smile可用于多种场合。suggest表示“表明,暗示”,此处不宜使用。
44.A.cultures B.oceans
C.nations D.countries
解析:选A 背景常识题。下文提到美国人、俄罗斯人,又提到东南亚文化。也多次提到culture,因此选A。
45.A.enjoy B.keep
C.consider D.continue
解析:选B 逻辑推理题。此处意为:俄罗斯人往往在公共场所面带微笑盯着陌生人看好久,以表明他们对对方起了疑心或没把握。
46.A.stare B.smile
C.look D.shout
解析:选B 逻辑推理题。与俄罗斯人不同,同样是在公共场所面对陌生人,美国人很随和地微笑。
47.A.time B.place
C.way D.manner
解析:选B 逻辑推理题。不是笑的方式不对,时间不对,而是场合不对,对陌生人怎能没有任何戒心地(freely)笑呢?
48.A.enough B.exactly
C.openly D.well
解析:选A 词语辨析题。指他们生活中微笑太少,不是笑得好与不好。
49.A.completely B.never
C.frequently D.always
解析:选C 词语辨析题。人们常常把微笑用于这些场合。always表示“一直”,用在此处不恰当。
50.A.hands B.faces
C.bodies D. eyes
解析:选B 词汇复现题。全文讲述smile,facial expressions,故选B。
51.A.need B.should
C.could D.would
解析:选B 逻辑推理题。本句承上启下,正因为上文提到笑的文化差异,因此我们千万不能像下面描述的那样去做。
52.A.as B.since
C.though D.unless
解析:选A 词语辨析题。as引导状语从句,表示“像我们解读同一文化渊源的人一样去理解不同文化背景的人”。
53.A.point B.reason
C.balance D.degree
解析:选D 词语辨析题。四个词中只有degree能与上下文搭配,表示“脸部表情变化的程度”。
54.A.fact B.news
C.demand D.order
解析:选A 词语辨析题。that引导的是fact的同位语从句,解释说明fact的内容。
55.A.find B.form
C.control D.express
解析:选D 词汇复现题。express一词在本文中已多次出现,从首句“Facial expressions...”到倒数第二段末尾的“expressing their emotions...”均表明D是正确选项。
56.A.another B.the other
C.others D.the others
解析:选A 词汇复现题。参看上文中“people from another culture”。
57.A.keep B.feel
C.make D.prevent
解析:选D 词语辨析题。从上下文可知,并非他们没有感情方面的体验,而是其文化背景使之不能自由表露情感和态度。
58.A.observe B.think
C.watch D.judge
解析:选D 词语辨析题。judge...by/according to表示“根据……来判断”。
59.A.ways B.life
C.manners D.patterns
解析:选D 习语搭配题。cultural pattern指“文化模式”。pattern表示“模式、方式”。
60.A.incorrectly B.properly
C.directly D.correctly
解析:选A 词语辨析题。既然是make mistakes,当然是“不正确/不恰当地”所致。

【解题导语】 你知道中国的情人节是在哪天吗?你知道七夕节的来历吗?本文向我们讲述了这个故事——牛郎和织女的故事。
61.解析:考查谓语动词时态。此处为与went并列的谓语动词,动词用一般过去式,因此填hid。
答案:hid
62.解析:考查形容词。根据空前的系动词be可知,此处需要填形容词作表语,因此填shocked表示“感到震惊的”。
答案:shocked
63.解析:考查谓语动词时态。根据句意可知此处时态应该用过去将来时,句意:牛郎告诉她如果她同意嫁给他,他就将衣服归还。因此填would give。
答案:would give
64.解析:考查非谓语动词。agree后必须接不定式作宾语。agree to do sth.“同意做某事”。因此填to marry。
答案:to marry
65.解析:考查副词。句意:后来,王母娘娘强迫织女返回天庭。根据句意此处填Later,意为“后来”。
答案:Later
66.解析:考查介词。此处句意:当织女回天庭时牛郎和他的孩子在后追赶。run after “追赶”。因此填after。
答案:after
67.解析:考查名词。所填词在基数词之后,应该是名词,根据句意可知这里提到的应该是牛郎和织女这两个恋人。因此填lovers。
答案:lovers
68.解析:考查被动语态。句子的主语they与所给动词是动宾关系,因此需要用被动语态,本文总体时态是过去时,因此此处应该用一般过去时的被动语态。因此填were separated。
答案:were separated
69.解析:考查连词。空前后都为完整句子,根据句意:喜鹊们搭了一座桥,让牛郎和织女可以在桥上相会。因此填表示目的的连词so。
答案:so
70.解析:考查不定代词。本句为否定句。所填词能够与介词but连用,再结合语义可知,应该填anything。not do anything but+动词原形=do nothing but+动词原形,意为“只好做某事”。因此填anything。
答案:anything

Hi Peter,
How are you doing?_______________________________________________

One possible version:
Hi_Peter,_
How_are_you_doing? I feel honored to be invited to Mr. Smith's home to attend a birthday party for his five-year-old son this weekend. I have never been to a foreigner's home, let alone a birthday party. Nervous about putting my foot in my mouth, I'm writing to ask you for some advice.
I wonder whether I should arrive at his home ahead of time or on time. Should I bring some expensive presents or just a little thing to be polite? How about my outfit and style? I would appreciate it very much if you could tell me something more about it.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li_Hua
