神秘的古埃及，神秘的金字塔，神秘的图坦卡蒙国王之墓，你想了解这位年轻的国王和他的陵墓的情况吗？就让这篇小短文为你揭开它神秘的面纱吧！
The ancient Egyptians valued their Pharaohs(法老) as Gods.Upon their deaths the Kings’ bodies were carefully preserved by mummifying.The mummified bodies were buried in elaborate(精致的) tombs and surrounded with all the riches the royals would need in the next life.The tombs were then carefully sealed.Egypt’s best designers designed the structures to resist thieves.In some cases heavy，hard－granite(花岗岩) plugs were used to block passageways.In others，false doorways and hidden rooms were designed to fool intruders.Finally，in a few cases，a curse was placed on the entrance.
The most famous Egyptian Pharaoh today is，without doubt，King Tutankhamun，also known as King Tut.He died in mid－January，1343 B．C.It is thought that he was murdered by an official because his skull was knocked in and only a person of great importance could get near enough to harm him.
He is so famous because his tomb was in almost perfect condition.His tomb had been robbed once very
soon after he was put in，but everything lost was replaced as soon as possible.
Today，the tomb still contains the Pharaoh’s remains，hidden from view inside the outermost of three coffins.He is the only Pharaoh still living in the Valley of the Kings—as far as we know!
The tomb itself is very small and appears to have been designed for someone of lesser importance.Tutankhamun’s unexpected early death saw the tomb’s rushed modification to house the Pharaoh.
The only part of the complex that contains wall paintings is the Burial Chamber.One of the scenes，describes the Opening of the Mouth Ceremony where the senses are restored to the dead Tutankhamun.In this case the person performing this duty is Ay，who became the next Pharaoh.
It contained four gilded shrines(镀金的圣骨箱) nested one inside the other.The innermost of these covered a stone tomb.Inside that were three coffins—the innermost being made of 110 kilograms of solid gold.Inside that lay the Pharaoh himself wearing the famous gold mask.

木乃伊的诅咒
霍华德·卡特是有史以来世界上最出名的探险家之一。他勇敢无畏，喜欢去从来未去过的地方探险。在其一生中他发现了许多令人惊奇的东西。
霍华德·卡特没有上过学，但是他从画家父亲那里学会了画画。他聪明，且对家乡之外的大千世界充满了好奇心。1891年，在17岁的时候，他扬帆远航到了埃及的亚历山大。到了20世纪20年代，他已成为一名探险家，致力于寻找古埃及国王的陵墓。他找到了一些重要的陵墓。在那些陵墓里，他发现了大量珠宝、黄金和已故国王们经过处理保存下来的遗体。这些保存的遗体就是为人所知的木乃伊。
1922年，在埃及的国王谷，霍华德·卡特做出了他最惊人的发现。此次探险之前，他得到了卡那封勋爵的资助。卡那封是个对埃及非常感兴趣的英国人。卡特的探险队当时在卢克索城附近的地方工作。在那儿，他们偶然发现了图坦卡蒙国王的陵墓。这是有史以来所发现的最重要的陵墓。“除了国王的木乃伊之外，这座陵墓还藏有大量的珍宝，比我们任何人先前所见过的都要多，”卡特说。“在探查过这座陵墓之后，我们将其封起来，并掩藏了其入口。我们想在以后有更多的时间时来研究这座陵墓。之后，所有的东西将被送往博物馆。”
However, not long after the discovery, people in Carter’s team began to fall ill(and die.Upon their entering the tomb(, Carter’s lucky pet bird, which he had left in Cairo( , was swallowed( by a snake.Then, a few months after Carter had opened the tomb, Lord Carnarvon, who was also present( when the tomb was opened, fell ill with a fever and died in Egypt.At the moment of Carnarvon’s death, the lights went out( in Cairo, the capital of Egypt(.Back in England, his dog died at approximately( the same time.
George Gould, a friend of Carnarvon’s, went to Egypt after hearing of his strange death(.He too visited the tomb, only to catch a high fever the next day(.Twelve hours later, he was dead.Carter’s secretary, Richard Bethell, died of( heart trouble four months after the tomb was opened.Arthur Mace, another member of the team, also died shortly( after the discovery.

然而，这次发现不久之后，卡特探险队的成员就开始生病，并相继死去。当他们一进入陵墓，卡特留在开罗的幸运爱鸟就被一条蛇给吞吃了。接着，在卡特打开陵墓数月后，当时也在陵墓发掘现场的卡那封勋爵生病发高烧，死在埃及。在卡那封勋爵病死的那一刻，埃及首都开罗所有的电灯突然熄灭。而在英国老家，卡那封勋爵的狗几乎在同一时间死亡。
乔治·古尔德，卡那封勋爵的朋友，在获悉其奇怪死讯后赶赴埃及。他也去了陵墓，结果第二天就发高烧。12小时后，他去世了。卡特的秘书理查德·贝塞尔在打开陵墓4个月后死于心脏病。另外一名探险队员阿瑟·梅斯也在发现陵墓后不久死去。
Within( seven years, 21 people who had something to do with( the opening of the tomb died.Howard Carter, however, lived on( until the age of 65.Some people say the deaths were just coincidence(.Others believe that they were in connection( with a mummy’s curse, as a punishment( for those who enter the resting place(of the dead(.
However, still others believe that there is a scientific( explanation.Inside the tombs, there are many viruses(.When a tomb is opened, fresh air disturbs( the viruses.If breathed(in(, they can result in( illness or even death.Today, when scientists examine mummies, they wear special clothing for protection.

7年间，与陵墓发掘工作有关的人员中有21人死亡。但是，霍华德·卡特却一直活到了65岁。有人说那些死亡只是巧合。另一些人则相信这与木乃伊的诅咒有关，是对闯入亡灵安息地的人的惩罚。
然而，仍有其他一些人认为，此事有一个科学的解释。那些陵墓中藏有大量病毒。陵墓被打开时，新鲜的空气打扰了这些病毒。一旦被人吸入，它们就可能导致疾病甚至死亡。如今，科学家们在检查木乃伊的时候都要穿上特殊的服装以保护自己。
但有一点可以肯定的是，“木乃伊的诅咒”至今仍是一个谜。

Diana Ross, American pop singer and actress, achieved international popularity, first as the leader singer of the Supremes and later as a solo(独唱的) artist. Diana Ross was born on March 26, 1944, in Detroit, Michigan. She was the second of six children of Fred and Ernestine Ross, who lived in one of Detroit’s poor districts. Because her family were closely connected with each other, Ross almost didn’t notice the difficult life as she grew up.
Ross’ professional career began in 1959, when she joined several neighborhood friends to form the Primettes. The group was renamed the Supremes after signing a recording contract(合同) with Motown late the following year. The group produced many number－one hit singles(热门单曲) on the U．S.Billboard Hot 100, including Baby Love, Stop! In the Name of Love and Someday We’ll Be Together. In 1967, the group was renamed Diana Ross and the Supremes, foreshadowing(预示) Ross’ solo career, which she started in 1970.
Beginning with Ain’t No Mountain High Enough from her first solo album, Ross enjoyed more than ten years of great success with her hit singles. Ross also developed a film－acting career in the 1970s, beginning with a starring role as blues singer Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues and continuing with Mahogany, for which she also recorded the theme song Do You Know Where You’re Going To.
However, in the mid－1980s, Ross saw her career begin to wane. Most of her albums were re－recordings of earlier material. In 2006, she produced I Love You, a collection of love songs by many artists, and she started an energetic concert tour the following year to make the album publicly known. Although you can’t find her songs on the U．S.Billboard Hot 100 now, Ross remains popular as one of the leading musical performers of all time.

The United States, for example, has registered more than 400 million pets, 1.3 times more than the country’s population, he said.Among pet owners, nearly 62 percent raise dogs, more than 19 percent raise cats and more than 6 percent have tortoises at home.Other popular pets include fish, rabbits and birds.“Many residents are now raising tortoises as pets at home, as tortoises indicate longevity in the minds of Chinese，” said a man surnamed Li, who lives in Guangzhou, and has been caring for a pair of tortoises for the past three years.“My family has treated the tortoises as our family members，” he said.
Most pet owners are younger than 45.The survey found that 6 percent were younger than 25, 37 percent were aged between 25 and 30, 24 percent were between 31 to 35 and 18 percent were aged 36 to 45.Those older than 45 were just 8 percent of the total.

Life is not easy in senior high school.You’ve got the pressure of studies and exams.
From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated.When depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it.One of the strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found.
Salt acts as a natural anti－depressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say.While too much can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) depressions”， a study has reported.
The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the U．S., discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they don’t do activities they normally enjoy.
The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although experts say the body needs only half as much.
However, most adults in the developed world consume(消耗)around ten grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts.Today, 77 percent of the U．S. salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods, like frozen dinners and fast food.
The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities—to help move liquid in and out of cells.But too much can cause diseases, for example high blood pressure.
Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substance—almost like a drug.
One sign of addiction is using a substance even when it’s known to be harmful.Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns, but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find low－salt foods tasteless.
Humans have a long history of eating salt.In the Stone Age, people didn’t need to find salt, because they hunted most of their food, and ate a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it.But when people began to farm, about 10，000 B．C., they started to eat mainly grains like rice and wheat, and very little meat.Then they had to find another way to get salt.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了一种奇异的解压方法——吃盐。
9．What does the underlined word “deficient” in the third paragraph mean？
A．Enough. B．Far from enough.
C．More than enough. D．Plenty.
B 解析：根据第三段中not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) depressions”，可知盐供应不足可使老鼠抑郁。故选项B正确。
10．The major role of salt is to __________．
A．help the body work well
B．help fight against depression
C．help people get rid of an addiction to drugs
D．help people enjoy sugary substances
A 解析：根据The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities—to help move liquid in and out of cells.But too much can cause diseases，for example high blood pressure.一段可知盐的作用在于使人体运转正常。故答案选A。
11．Which of the following statements is true？
A．People have trouble reducing salt because they don’t know it is harmful to eat too much of it.
B．Before 10，000 B．C., human beings did not need salt.
C．The richer the country is, the more salt is eaten there.
D．Taking more than 4 grams of salt a day can be harmful for an adult’s health.
D 解析：根据第五段中The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams可知一天盐的摄入量多于四克对身体有害。故答案D正确。
12．What kind of food should people eat more of？
A．Frozen food B．Fast food
C．Red meat D．Low－salt food
D 解析：根据最后三段的叙述可知人们最好吃低盐食物。故答案D正确。

How to Break a Bad Habit
A habit is an established habitual practice developed in the form of an automatic pattern of behavior.1.________ A good habit could be you making your bed as soon as you wake up, or wiping your shoes on the doormat before entering, and a bad habit could be biting your nails, or talking loudly in public.
2．________
We are so accustomed to our bad habits that most of the time we don’t even realize that we have them, until someone points them out to us.So, the first step that will lead to changing a bad habit is by accepting it and acknowledging it.
Make yourself aware.
Now that you know you have developed a bad habit, it’s best to find out why you developed it in the first place.Find out the reason behind it, as that will help you understand why you’re so tempted to perform that act.Sometimes it even discloses ghosts from the past.3.________ You’ve got to face it and then get rid of it.
Know what the consequences are.
A bad habit is termed as “bad”， because its consequences are harmful.Find out how this bad habit of yours has spoiled things around you.Your mom must have yelled at you a million times for it, but after all she is your mother and you hear what she says from one ear and throw it out from the other.4.________
Determination is the name of the game.
Leaving a bad habit is like throwing a boomerang(回飞棒)and you throw it and it will come back to you.Take it as a test of your willpower.Don’t be laid back about it.5.________
Breaking a bad habit is a better option than letting it grow with you to become an addiction.
A．Accept that it is a bad habit.
B．But it’s now time to change that.
C．There are both good and bad habits.
D．Be firm that this time you’ll break free from it.
E．There is nothing to feel scared about.
F．Take help from family and friends.
G．Breaking a habit is a very tricky game.

Anjali Mishra is a rising junior at Sunset High School in Portland, Oregon. At 17, she is president and founder of her school’s UNICEF(United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund) USA club, and a member of UNICEF’s national council(委员会)．She also volunteers her time in different communities.
How did Anjali develop such a passion(热情) for helping others？When she was a freshman, she had an experience that greatly changed her attitude.She was invited to a cousin’s wedding(婚礼) in India.
“My mom kind of forced me to go，” Anjali says.“When I saw children on the street, I realized how lucky I was as a child.I was able to get whatever I wanted, and my every need was satisfied.”
Anjali asked herself: “What can I do to help？UNICEF stood out to me because it’s always on the front lines helping children in need.”
After starting a UNICEF club at her school, Anjali noticed that the community responded actively.She took things a step further by applying to UNICEF’s national council.
“UNICEF really liked my work，” she says.“Out of 3，000 applicants, they chose 6 high school students to be on the national council, and I was one of them．”

Diana Ross, American pop singer and actress, achieved international popularity, first as the leader singer of the Supremes and later as a solo(独唱的) artist. Diana Ross was born on March 26, 1944, in Detroit, Michigan. She was the second of six children of Fred and Ernestine Ross, who lived in one of Detroit’s poor districts. Because her family were closely connected with each other, Ross almost didn’t notice the difficult life as she grew up.
Ross’ professional career began in 1959, when she joined several neighborhood friends to form the Primettes. The group was renamed the Supremes after signing a recording contract(合同) with Motown late the following year. The group produced many number－one hit singles(热门单曲) on the U．S.Billboard Hot 100, including Baby Love, Stop! In the Name of Love and Someday We’ll Be Together. In 1967, the group was renamed Diana Ross and the Supremes, foreshadowing(预示) Ross’ solo career, which she started in 1970.
Beginning with Ain’t No Mountain High Enough from her first solo album, Ross enjoyed more than ten years of great success with her hit singles. Ross also developed a film－acting career in the 1970s, beginning with a starring role as blues singer Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues and continuing with Mahogany, for which she also recorded the theme song Do You Know Where You’re Going To.
However, in the mid－1980s, Ross saw her career begin to wane. Most of her albums were re－recordings of earlier material. In 2006, she produced I Love You, a collection of love songs by many artists, and she started an energetic concert tour the following year to make the album publicly known. Although you can’t find her songs on the U．S.Billboard Hot 100 now, Ross remains popular as one of the leading musical performers of all time.

The United States, for example, has registered more than 400 million pets, 1.3 times more than the country’s population, he said.Among pet owners, nearly 62 percent raise dogs, more than 19 percent raise cats and more than 6 percent have tortoises at home.Other popular pets include fish, rabbits and birds.“Many residents are now raising tortoises as pets at home, as tortoises indicate longevity in the minds of Chinese，” said a man surnamed Li, who lives in Guangzhou, and has been caring for a pair of tortoises for the past three years.“My family has treated the tortoises as our family members，” he said.
Most pet owners are younger than 45.The survey found that 6 percent were younger than 25, 37 percent were aged between 25 and 30, 24 percent were between 31 to 35 and 18 percent were aged 36 to 45.Those older than 45 were just 8 percent of the total.

Life is not easy in senior high school.You’ve got the pressure of studies and exams.
From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated.When depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it.One of the strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found.
Salt acts as a natural anti－depressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say.While too much can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) depressions”， a study has reported.
The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the U．S., discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they don’t do activities they normally enjoy.
The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although experts say the body needs only half as much.
However, most adults in the developed world consume(消耗)around ten grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts.Today, 77 percent of the U．S. salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods, like frozen dinners and fast food.
The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities—to help move liquid in and out of cells.But too much can cause diseases, for example high blood pressure.
Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substance—almost like a drug.
One sign of addiction is using a substance even when it’s known to be harmful.Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns, but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find low－salt foods tasteless.
Humans have a long history of eating salt.In the Stone Age, people didn’t need to find salt, because they hunted most of their food, and ate a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it.But when people began to farm, about 10，000 B．C., they started to eat mainly grains like rice and wheat, and very little meat.Then they had to find another way to get salt.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了一种奇异的解压方法——吃盐。
9．What does the underlined word “deficient” in the third paragraph mean？
A．Enough. B．Far from enough.
C．More than enough. D．Plenty.
B 解析：根据第三段中not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) depressions”，可知盐供应不足可使老鼠抑郁。故选项B正确。
10．The major role of salt is to __________．
A．help the body work well
B．help fight against depression
C．help people get rid of an addiction to drugs
D．help people enjoy sugary substances
A 解析：根据The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities—to help move liquid in and out of cells.But too much can cause diseases，for example high blood pressure.一段可知盐的作用在于使人体运转正常。故答案选A。
11．Which of the following statements is true？
A．People have trouble reducing salt because they don’t know it is harmful to eat too much of it.
B．Before 10，000 B．C., human beings did not need salt.
C．The richer the country is, the more salt is eaten there.
D．Taking more than 4 grams of salt a day can be harmful for an adult’s health.
D 解析：根据第五段中The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams可知一天盐的摄入量多于四克对身体有害。故答案D正确。
12．What kind of food should people eat more of？
A．Frozen food B．Fast food
C．Red meat D．Low－salt food
D 解析：根据最后三段的叙述可知人们最好吃低盐食物。故答案D正确。
七选五
How to Break a Bad Habit
A habit is an established habitual practice developed in the form of an automatic pattern of behavior.1.________ A good habit could be you making your bed as soon as you wake up, or wiping your shoes on the doormat before entering, and a bad habit could be biting your nails, or talking loudly in public.
2．________
We are so accustomed to our bad habits that most of the time we don’t even realize that we have them, until someone points them out to us.So, the first step that will lead to changing a bad habit is by accepting it and acknowledging it.
Make yourself aware.
Now that you know you have developed a bad habit, it’s best to find out why you developed it in the first place.Find out the reason behind it, as that will help you understand why you’re so tempted to perform that act.Sometimes it even discloses ghosts from the past.3.________ You’ve got to face it and then get rid of it.
Know what the consequences are.
A bad habit is termed as “bad”， because its consequences are harmful.Find out how this bad habit of yours has spoiled things around you.Your mom must have yelled at you a million times for it, but after all she is your mother and you hear what she says from one ear and throw it out from the other.4.________
Determination is the name of the game.
Leaving a bad habit is like throwing a boomerang(回飞棒)and you throw it and it will come back to you.Take it as a test of your willpower.Don’t be laid back about it.5.________
Breaking a bad habit is a better option than letting it grow with you to become an addiction.
A．Accept that it is a bad habit.
B．But it’s now time to change that.
C．There are both good and bad habits.
D．Be firm that this time you’ll break free from it.
E．There is nothing to feel scared about.
F．Take help from family and friends.
G．Breaking a habit is a very tricky game.

【解题导语】 对大学生来说，买车是一件大事，但是因为没有经验，事先多调查研究是明智之举。本文给出了一些建议。
1．is 解析：考查谓语动词。getting做主语，谓语用单数，且文章描述一般事实，故用一般现在时。
2．generally 解析：考查副词。所填词修饰谓语动词，因此需要用副词形式。
3．suggestions 解析：考查名词。根据前面的some useful可知，此处表示“一些有用的建议”，故填名词suggestions。
4．into 解析：考查介词。take sth. into consideration意为“把……考虑在内”。
5．choosing 解析：考查非谓语动词。此处在when后填v.－ing形式作状语，when choosing＝when you are choosing。
6．to buy 解析：考查非谓语动词。be ready to do sth.意为“准备好做某事”。
7．the 解析：考查冠词。在序数词first前面用定冠词the。
8．lower 解析：考查形容词的比较级。根据上文的Ask about good student discounts(折扣)可知，这里是指如果学习成绩好，就能获得更低的价格。
9．it 解析：考查代词。此处it作形式主语，真正的主语是本句中的不定式。
10．if/whether 解析：考查连接代词。根据句意可知，此处填表示“是否”的连接词引导宾语从句。

“Life is about daring to carry out your ideas，” said Italian mountaineer Reinhold Messner.
One of the best－known living mountaineers，now 74，Messner became the first person to climb Mount Qomolangma alone and without the help of bottled oxygen(氧气) in 1980.
He also became, in 1986, the first to reach the world’s 14 mountain tops of over 8，000 meters，again without bottled oxygen.
Along the way，he has practiced a special style of mountaineering known as alpinism, in which climbers try to reach the top with as little material(材料) and outside help as possible.
“But it is an art that is increasingly getting lost—today’s climbers depend on Sherpas(local guides for climbers in the Himalayas) and ready－made routes to reach the top，” Messner said.
“The true alpinist doesn’t want such help.He wants to go into the wild，” he said.
His achievements have made him a great hero，but Messner says he has gotten into plenty of dangerous situations along the way too.
“Around half of the top alpinists have died climbing，”he said.
“Of course, if I turn back more often than the others, I can increase my chances of survival，” he added.“But if I hadn’t been lucky a few times, I wouldn’t be here.”
Messner later moved on to different challenges(挑战)，crossing the Gobi Desert and Antarctica.
He is also a writer and was in Frankfurt to present his latest book, Wild, telling the true story of a 1916 Antarctic expedition(探险)．
Today, Messner spends his time making films and talks excitedly about his present one, which is set in Kenya, Africa, and tells the story of two climbers who run into trouble and are faced with life－changing situations.
After a lifetime of following his next dream, he believes film－making will be his final project.
“I was always at my best when I was learning, when I was curious(求知的)，” he said.

The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896.A Frenchman, Baron de Coubertin, born in 1863, made it possible.When he was young, Coubertin had a strong interest in sports.As he grew older, he developed a belief that sports could bring people from all over the world together and encourage peace throughout the world.
Coubertin was inspired by the ancient Olympic Games.In order to persuade people to revive(使复兴) them, he traveled around the world, spending his own money.Eventually，with his hard work，in 1894，the Olympic Movement was begun.
But women were not allowed to take part in the modern Olympic Games at first.They didn’t begin to compete in the modern Olympic Games until 1900.For many years there were problems for the women athletes about what to wear，because it was considered very rude to show any part of the body or even the shape of the body！Can you imagine women trying to run and jump covered from head to foot in clothes?
When Baron de Coubertin founded the Olympic Movement, he created the International Olympic Committee(the IOC) to supervise(监管) it in 1894.He himself served as its president for 29 years.There were at first 14 members，but the committee has now grown to over 130 members, all of whom must speak either French or English.
Members of the IOC choose the next venue for the Olympic Games，which must be a city rather than a country.Only one city from each country can bid(投标) and it usually takes many years to prepare, and of course only one city can be successful!
Each country has its own National Olympic Committee(NOC)．The NOCs represent their countries at the Olympic Games and select their own national teams.
The gold medals were solid gold until 1912，but now they are silver covered with a thin layer of gold.

在21小时23分钟内你能得到的最大乐趣是什么？在2003年10月15日，杨利伟回答了这个问题。他的太空之旅让他在仅仅21个小时多一些的时间内沿轨道飞行了60万千米，环绕地球14圈。这使他成为中国首位进入太空的宇航员。为了这一成就，他经过了多年的努力。
杨利伟出生于1965年，在他还是个小男孩的时候，他就梦想着飞行。他在绥中(辽宁省东北部)的朋友和老师都说，他从小就热爱科学技术。他对学习如何飞行总有一种强烈的愿望。他的梦想得到了父母以及姐姐和弟弟的鼓励。
1983年，他参军进入了飞行学校。他于1987年毕业，并成为一名飞行员。1998年，他申请成为921工程即现在被称作“神舟”的一员。他是从1 500名候选人中遴选出来的仅仅14人中的一员。在接下来的5年时间里，这些队员接受了各种训练。他们不仅学习成为宇航员所必修的全部科目，还学习生存技巧，以及关于飞船和火箭制造的所有知识。在队员们所学习的各门功课中，杨(利伟)的成绩都名列前茅。

The biggest soccer organization(组织) in the U．S. introduces new rules to make the sport safer.
The U．S. Soccer Federation announced that players in its teams who are 10 or younger are no longer allowed to head the ball. Players aged from 11 to 13 have limits(限制) on how often they can practice heading.
The new rules are set to stop kids from getting hurt because of a blow to the head that shakes the brain. Players may get headaches by heading the ball. Even worse, they may also get concussions(脑震荡), which will cause lasting brain damage(脑损伤)．
Heading the ball can be one of the most dangerous parts of soccer.Sometimes the force of hitting the ball with their heads gives players concussions. But more often, players receive concussions when they jump to head the ball and by accident knock heads with other players or fall and hit their heads on the grass.
“More concussions happen during the act of heading than any other action in soccer，” says Dr. Robert Cantu, an expert on brain damage.
So far, the new rules are only used by teams that are part of the U．S. Soccer Federation. But the group says it hopes more soccer teams will soon follow its example.
Former U．S. soccer star Brandi Chastain is one of the leaders of the activity to ban(禁止) heading among young soccer players. She welcomes the rule change but wants the rule to include all players under 14.

Since I became a full－time free－lancer(自由作家), I’ve found one of the hardest things to do is to get up early.Without the danger of being fired, there just hasn’t been a lot of motivation(动机) to get out of bed.
I’ve quickly learned that getting up is the key to success and better yet: waking up early is really just a habit.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that you must have strong reasons to get out of bed.Motivation is the only thing keeping us from lying in bed all day.
Writing down all the big and important things you’ll do the next day can give you an extra push in your goal to wake up early and get up quickly.
Don’t read in bed.Spending as little time as possible in bed will actually help your body realize that the bed is for sleeping, and not for lying awake for hours.The goal of reading in bed is just to help you fall asleep within 10 minutes.
Stress is one of the main causes of poor sleep.Relax yourself before getting into bed.Try controlled breathing exercises or yoga to lower your stress level.
These are just a few ways you can use to wake up earlier.Finding the best way is the most important, and it requires a little work.The key thing is that waking up should be a pleasant experience.If you can make waking up something you are looking forward to, you’re already halfway on your journey toward becoming an early riser.
4．What do we know about the author?
A．He has a full－time job outside.
B．He likes lying in bed all day.
C．He was once fired by a company.
D．He has difficulty getting up early.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一句的“I’ve found one of the hardest things to do is to get up early.”我发现早起是最难的事情之一。由此可知选D项。
5．The author gives us some tips to help us ________．
A．find the key to success
B．become an early riser
C．fall asleep within 10 minutes
D．relax after a day’s hard work
B 解析：细节理解题。阅读文章可知作者教给我们一些小技巧使我们可以早起。由此可知选B项。
6．Which of the following is NOT true about doing yoga?
A．It is a good way to reduce stress.
B．It can help you sleep.
C．It can make you worried.
D．It will help you wake up earlier.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第六段最后一句“Try controlled breathing exercises or yoga to lower your stress level.”试着控制呼吸或练习瑜伽来降低你的压力水平。由此可知， 没有压力可以入睡， 早入睡可以早起。只有C项是不正确。由此可知选C项。
7．What is the point of getting up early?

At schools across the United States, students often sit down to school lunches made from foods that are high in fat and sugar. But kids at Public School (P.S.) 216 have a different dining experience. Head teacher Donna Neglia reports that her students love eating fresh fruits and vegetables.
P．S. 216 takes part in the Edible Schoolyard Project, a program started by Alice Waters in 1995. It helps public schools across the country start on－site gardens. Students grow and care for crops, harvesting(收获) the fruits and vegetables for school meals.
In a recent interview, Waters advised schools to “connect with the farmers in their area, and change their buying practices” when planning meals for students. “Instead of having a hot dog or a pizza that comes from a fast－food restaurant，” she said, “schools should buy a real hot dog that is organic(有机的), and they should buy a pizza from somebody who cares about where the foods come from.”
The students and teachers at P．S. 216 work together to keep a garden and farm in the middle of New York City. “Students are happily involved(参与) in all of the most important tasks，” said teacher Cecilia Galarraga, “including watering, planting, harvesting, etc.”
Through the Edible Schoolyard Project, students also learn about the advantages of healthy eating in the classroom. Neglia said that P．S. 216 is teaching kids about “careers(职业) in the food industry—such as farming, food safety, and the restaurant business”．
Similar classes are taking place around the country. So far, the Edible Schoolyard Project has reached more than 1 million students in more than 360 schools.
“I’m thinking about the future of the planet，” Waters said. “I’m doing this for the young generation.”

The biggest soccer organization(组织) in the U．S. introduces new rules to make the sport safer.
The U．S. Soccer Federation announced that players in its teams who are 10 or younger are no longer allowed to head the ball. Players aged from 11 to 13 have limits(限制) on how often they can practice heading.
The new rules are set to stop kids from getting hurt because of a blow to the head that shakes the brain. Players may get headaches by heading the ball. Even worse, they may also get concussions(脑震荡), which will cause lasting brain damage(脑损伤)．
Heading the ball can be one of the most dangerous parts of soccer.Sometimes the force of hitting the ball with their heads gives players concussions. But more often, players receive concussions when they jump to head the ball and by accident knock heads with other players or fall and hit their heads on the grass.
“More concussions happen during the act of heading than any other action in soccer，” says Dr. Robert Cantu, an expert on brain damage.
So far, the new rules are only used by teams that are part of the U．S. Soccer Federation. But the group says it hopes more soccer teams will soon follow its example.
Former U．S. soccer star Brandi Chastain is one of the leaders of the activity to ban(禁止) heading among young soccer players. She welcomes the rule change but wants the rule to include all players under 14.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述为防止年轻足球运动员头部受伤，美国足球联合会颁布了新的法规禁止青少年球员进行头球。

A．keep young players from being hurt

2．What is Brandi Chastain’s attitude towards the new rules?
A．She is against them.
B．She supports them.
C．She is unsure about them.
D．She doesn’t care about them.
B 解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段可知，Brandi Chastain不仅是这项足球新规定运动的领导者之一，她还希望能把“禁止头球”规定的实施范围扩大到所有14岁以下的青少年。由此可知，她对足球新规定持有肯定、支持的态度。
3．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．New rules in soccer.
B．How to protect young players.
C．Brain damage becomes more common.
D．The introduction of the U．S. Soccer Federation.
A 解析：主旨大意题。本文主要讲述针对年轻足球运动员头部受伤的情况，美国足球联合会颁布了新的法规。

Since I became a full－time free－lancer(自由作家), I’ve found one of the hardest things to do is to get up early.Without the danger of being fired, there just hasn’t been a lot of motivation(动机) to get out of bed.
I’ve quickly learned that getting up is the key to success and better yet: waking up early is really just a habit.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that you must have strong reasons to get out of bed.Motivation is the only thing keeping us from lying in bed all day.
Writing down all the big and important things you’ll do the next day can give you an extra push in your goal to wake up early and get up quickly.
Don’t read in bed.Spending as little time as possible in bed will actually help your body realize that the bed is for sleeping, and not for lying awake for hours.The goal of reading in bed is just to help you fall asleep within 10 minutes.
Stress is one of the main causes of poor sleep.Relax yourself before getting into bed.Try controlled breathing exercises or yoga to lower your stress level.
These are just a few ways you can use to wake up earlier.Finding the best way is the most important, and it requires a little work.The key thing is that waking up should be a pleasant experience.If you can make waking up something you are looking forward to, you’re already halfway on your journey toward becoming an early riser.
4．What do we know about the author?
A．He has a full－time job outside.
B．He likes lying in bed all day.
C．He was once fired by a company.
D．He has difficulty getting up early.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一句的“I’ve found one of the hardest things to do is to get up early.”我发现早起是最难的事情之一。由此可知选D项。
5．The author gives us some tips to help us ________．
A．find the key to success
B．become an early riser
C．fall asleep within 10 minutes
D．relax after a day’s hard work
B 解析：细节理解题。阅读文章可知作者教给我们一些小技巧使我们可以早起。由此可知选B项。
6．Which of the following is NOT true about doing yoga?
A．It is a good way to reduce stress.
B．It can help you sleep.
C．It can make you worried.
D．It will help you wake up earlier.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第六段最后一句“Try controlled breathing exercises or yoga to lower your stress level.”试着控制呼吸或练习瑜伽来降低你的压力水平。由此可知， 没有压力可以入睡， 早入睡可以早起。只有C项是不正确。由此可知选C项。
7．What is the point of getting up early?
A．Motivation. B．Experience.
C．Success. D．Ability.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Motivation is the only thing keeping us from lying in bed all day.”动机是唯一一件让我们避免整天躺在床上的事。由此可知选A项。

Section Ⅳ Grammar & Writing
过去完成时
一、过去完成时
过去完成时由“had＋动词的过去分词”构成，主要有以下几种用法：
1．表示在过去某一时间或动作以前已经完成了的动作。这个过去的时间常用by，before等介词构成的短语或一个时间状语从句表示，也可以暗含在上下文中。
Silk had become one of the primary goods traded along the Silk Road by about 100 BC.
到大约公元前100年，丝绸已经成为丝绸之路上交易的主要商品之一。
We had reached the railway station before 5 o’clock.
我们在五点钟以前已经到达了火车站。
When I woke up it had already stopped raining.
我醒来的时候雨已经停了。
2．表示过去某一时刻之前发生的动作或持续的状态持续到过去某个时间或还要持续下去，常与for，since等构成的时间状语连用。
He said he had made great progress since he came here.他说自从他来到这里，他已经取得了很大进步。
By the time I left school，he had taught the class for 3 years.
到我毕业时，他已经教那个班三年了。
3．在一段情景连贯的文字中，先发生的事放在后面叙述时，要用过去完成时。
Tom hurried home，but his father had already left for London.
汤姆急匆匆赶回家，但是他爸爸已经动身去伦敦了。
4．intend，mean，hope，want，plan，suppose，expect，think等动词的过去完成时后接不定式的一般式，表示本来打算做而实际上未做的事。
I had intended to attend your party last night，but I had an unexpected visitor.
昨天晚上我本来打算去参加你的宴会，但是来了个不速之客。
We had hoped to see you off at the airport，but our car broke down halfway.
我们原打算到机场给你送行，但是我们的车中途出故障了。
5．hardly/scarcely/barely...when...；no sooner...than...；This/It was the first (second，third...) time＋that从句等固定句型中常使用过去完成时。

她刚睡下铃就响了。

对接高考
①—Did you have difficulty finding Ann’s house?
—Not really.She ____________ (give) us clear directions and we were able to find it easily.
——你找到安的家有困难吗？
——不是很难。她给了我们很清楚的指引， 我们很容易就找到了。
had given 解析：根据问句Did you have difficulty finding Ann’s house？可知“找到安的家”这件事发生在过去， 而“给出(give)指引”应该是发生在“过去的过去”， 故应用过去完成时态， 所以答案为had given。
②I found the lecture hard to follow because it ____________(start)when I arrived.
我发现这个报告很难懂，因为当我到的时候，它已经开始了。
had started 解析：根据句意可知这个报告是在“我”到达之前就开始了，而句中“我”到达使用了arrived，而报告是在这之前发生的，所以使用过去完成时。
③When walking down the street, I came across David, whom I ____________(not see) for years.
在街上散步时，我偶遇了大卫。我已经很多年没见过他了。
hadn’t seen 解析：“我很多年没见过他”发生在 came across 之前，表示“过去的过去”，应用过去完成时。
④He was unhappy when he sold his guitar.After all，he ________________(have) it for a very long time.
他把自己的吉他卖掉时并不高兴。毕竟，他拥有这把吉他已经很长时间了。
had had 解析：由句意知，他“拥有吉他”的动作发生在“卖掉吉他”之前，而“卖掉吉他”发生在过去，因此空格处的动作发生在过去的过去，故用过去完成时态。
二、难点突破
过去完成时、一般过去时以及现在完成时的区别
时态
用法
过去完成时
过去完成时强调“过去的过去”，即表示在过去某一时间或某一动作之前完成的动作或存在的状态，是以过去某一时间为基准的
一般过去时
一般过去时以现在时间为基准，表示在过去发生的动作或存在的状态，对现在没有影响
现在完成时
现在完成时强调过去的动作对现在造成的影响或结果，或者从过去某一时间开始一直持续到现在的动作
He had worked on a farm for 10 years before he became the manager of the company.
在成为公司经理之前，他在农场工作过10年。
He once worked on a farm for 10 years，and now he is the manager of the company.
他在农场工作过10年，现在是这家公司的经理。
I haven’t seen her since she went abroad five years ago.
自从5年前她出国以来我就没有见过她。
I met her at the airport yesterday.I hadn’t seen her for five years since she went abroad.
我昨天在机场遇到她了。自从她出国以来我已经五年没见过她了。
(1)表示过去某个时间以前所连续发生的两个或两个以上的动作时，一般用and，then，but按照动作的先后顺序连接，此时通常用一般过去时而不用过去完成时。
He entered the room，turned on the light and sat down at the table. 他走进屋子，打开灯，坐在桌子旁。
He said he went to the shop and bought some food.
他说他去商店买了一些食品。
(2)当一个由before，after，as soon as等连词引导的从句所表示的动作和主句的动作紧接着发生时，两个动作均可用一般过去时来表示。
We had breakfast after we did morning exercises.
做完早操后，我们吃早饭。
The train started to move just before he reached the platform. 他到月台时火车刚要走。
They started ploughing as soon as they got to the fields.
他们一到地里就开始耕地。
对接高考
⑤I ____________(read) half of the English novel, and I’ll try to finish it at the weekend.
这本英语小说我已经读了一半，这个周末我将尽力把它读完。
have read 解析：语境表示“已经读了一半”，应该用现在完成时表示过去发生并且对现在有影响的动作。
⑥Sofia looked around at all the faces: she had the impression that she ____________(see) most of the guests before.
索菲娅环顾四周所有的脸庞，她对她之前见过大部分的客人有印象。
had seen 解析：根据句意可知她见过这么多的客人是在她拥有这个印象之前发生的事情，故看见这么多客人这一动作应该使用过去完成时。
⑦I felt very tired when I got home，and I ____________(go) straight to bed.
我到家时感觉很累，就直接去睡觉了。
went 解析：and连接并列分句，由and前的分句中的felt和got可知，后一分句用一般过去时。
⑧When I first met Bryan I didn’t like him，but I ____________(change) my mind. 当我第一次遇到布莱恩的时候，我不喜欢他，但是我(现在)改变了主意。
have changed 解析：转折连接词but后面的句子强调的是作者现在的看法，即改变了过去的看法，对现在的影响是“现在喜欢布莱恩了”，因此用现在完成时have changed，指的是已经发生的动作对现在产生的影响或结果。

如何写人物传记
文体感知
人物传记也是记叙文体的一种，但人物传记主要是写名人或伟人的生平、事迹。
首先要解决写什么。主要写以下几个方面的内容：人物的基本情况及接受教育的情况，如：age，sex，birth－place/time of birth，background等；还包括人物的外貌/性格，主要的经历或成就及对该人物的评价等。
然后解决如何写。一般按照时间顺序，从外形到性格，从一般经历到创造性活动。可以用五个字来概括：概(概况)，貌(外貌)，育(教育)，平(生平)，估(评价)，即先叙述出生和去世的年代，再叙述事业成就，最后通常为结论性评语。
最后是对语言的处理和润色。介绍概况时，尽量使用非谓语、同位语等，力求语言的简洁；描述外貌时，可利用with的复合结构，可以灵活地变换句子结构；介绍经历或成就时，尽量使用复合句、倒装、非谓语动词等，以使文章精炼。
常用句式
1．概况(尽量用非谓语/同位语结构等，使文章简洁、通顺)
(1)Born in ________on ________，________is a(n) ________．
(2)________，the son of a(n) ________family，was born in ________ on ________．
(3)×××，________________________，is a beautiful girl/handsome boy.
2．外貌，性格(巧用with作定语)
杨扬很漂亮/长相一般/长相奇特，有着长长的头发。
Yang Yang is good－looking/ordinary－looking/funny－looking with long hair.
3．生平(尽量用复合句、倒装、非限制性定语从句等来润色文章)
他不仅对科学感兴趣，而且有音乐天赋。
Not only is he interested in science，but also he has a gift for music.
4．评价(注意运用一些动词、形容词等短语/词组)
他给我们作出了榜样，大家都赞扬他。
He sets us a good example，so all the people speak highly of him.

阅读理解
“I wish I grew up back in your childhood，” my 14－year－old son said to me. He has an iPhone that is newer than mine. He has many kind friends. There are many forms of entertainment today and he can find nearly all of human knowledge through the Internet. However, he wishes he grew up in the 1970s and 1980s. “Why？” I asked. My son’s answer involves freedom, risk and over－involvement(参与) of adults in kids’ lives.
My son has heard his dad tell stories of summer days at the river with his friends. They would jump off the wooden bridge into the water below. My son lives just a few blocks from the same river and the same bridge. The town hasn’t changed, but times have changed. My son knows that if he and his friends tried to jump off the bridge and swim as his dad did many times, the most likely outcome(结果) is that some kind adults would call the police.
At 14, an age at which, in generations past, most boys were contributing to the well－being of their families by working, and my son is ready, able and willing to put his skills and strength to the test in the real world. However, he, like so many other American boys and girls, is prevented by a culture that seems to have raised safety to the highest regard, without considering how a lack of risk might negatively affect kids’ development.
Let kids try some risky things—cutting the lawn; using tools and sharp knives; starting a fire; cooking—under the supervision(监管) of an adult who tells them safety rules. Allow your kids to gradually take more responsibility. A kid who helps prepare and cook meals will be better prepared to cook independently.
Above all, encourage and praise your kids’ determination. Their desire to deal with challenges and take risks will serve them well in the years to come.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。作者认为孩子应该在成人的监护下适当地去做一些冒险的事情，家长不应该一味地保护孩子。

C．To introduce the topic of kids’ lacking(缺乏) chance to risk.

2．If trying to jump into the river, the author’s son would be ________．
A．warned of danger
B．stopped by the police

B．Help their kids complete risky things.
C．Let their kids know the safety rules first.

D 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的“...under the supervision(监管) of an adult who tells them safety rules.”可知，孩子做冒险的事情时，父母应该在一旁看着孩子。

A
Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way.Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever.Hundreds more are on the danger list today.About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care？Because we need animals.And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.
Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food.Every animal has its place in the balance of nature.Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.
For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice.Why？Because hawks eat mice.With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the mice multiplied quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals.Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem.And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
Quite a few countries have passed laws.These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list.Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇关于动物保护的说明文。目前，世界范围内动物的数量正在不断下降，保护动物刻不容缓。保护动物不仅是为动物，也是为我们人类自己的生存考虑。幸运的是，现在有的国家已经开始行动，例如成立保护组织或制定法律等对动物进行有效的保护。
1．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Save the Animals
B．Useful Animals
C．Laws for Animals
D．Animals in Danger
A 解析：标题归纳题。文章提到动物面临的生存现状、保护动物的必要性以及目前一些国家对野生动物所采取的保护性措施等都体现了保护动物的主题，故文章标题应是“保护动物”。
2．Animals are important to us mainly because ________．
A．they give us a source of food
B．they are beautiful and lovely
C．they keep the balance of nature
D．they give us a lot of pleasure
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的Animals are more than...in the balance of nature.可知，每一种动物的存在都是有道理的，都是为了维持自然界的平衡。
3．What is the meaning of the underlined word “multiplied”in the passage?
A．Became more. B．Became less.
C．Turned black. D．Ate food.
A 解析：词义猜测题。由画线词所在的段落可以看出，当鹰的数量因人类的捕杀而减少时，粮食受老鼠的毁坏会加重。没有鹰对老鼠的捕杀，老鼠的数量自然是增长很快，即“变得更多”。
4．We can infer from the passage that ________．
A．people have known the importance of animal protection since a long time ago
B．animals play an important role in people’s life
C．the number of hawks is on the decrease
D．many countries passed laws forbidding the killing of any animal
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段和第四段的描述可知，此前人们对于动物的保护并不关注，当然也并未意识到保护动物的重要性，故可排除A项。通过对文章第四段的理解可知动物在人们的生活中起着重要作用，故B项正确。文中提到鹰的数量由于人类的捕杀而减少，但并非现在的情况，故可排除C项。D项中提到许多国家制定了法律来禁止对一切动物的捕杀，忽略了文中on the danger list这个说法，故该项是不对的。
B
Did you know there is a substance that can kill you even if you don’t want it? Many adults and children die from it.It’s called second－hand smoke.It comes from the smoke that is breathed out by a smoker, as well as the smoke that comes from the end of burning cigarettes.It’s almost as lethal as smoking a cigarette.
Second－hand smoke contains over 4，000 chemicals, and of those, 200 are poisonous and 43 can cause cancer.It causes about 3，000 lung cancer deaths and 35，000 heart disease deaths to nonsmokers each year.Some of the chemicals breathed in are lead, formaldehyde (a poisonous, colourless gas), benzene (colourless liquid from oil) and ammonia (a smell gas)．
Every time someone lights a cigarette near you, you are being forced to breathe in all those chemicals.You can get a number of diseases—many incurable(不能治愈的)—from second－hand smoke, but it is especially dangerous for children.It is estimated that second－hand smoke is responsible for between 150，000 and 300，000 lower respiratory(呼吸的) tract(消化系统) infections(感染) in young children and because of this, between 7，500 and 15，000 children are hospitalized each year.So if you smoke, try to give up! Otherwise, avoid smoky areas and breathe fresh air.
5．The passage is written to tell us________．
A．not to smoke
B．smoking is harmful to smokers and non－smokers
C．how to give up smoking
D．smoking should be banned in public places
B 解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，整篇文章主要讲述了吸烟对吸烟者和被动吸烟者的危害。故选B项。
6．The underlined word “lethal” in Paragraph 1 means “________”．
A．harmful B．expensive
C．useful D．cheap
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段和第三段所描述的被动吸烟所造成的危害可知，被动吸烟者跟吸烟者本身所受到的危害同样大，所以选A项，表示同样有害。
7．Which of the following words can best describe the author’s attitude towards smoking in public?
A．Interested. B．Worried.
C．Angry. D．Sad.
B 解析：观点态度题。通过第三段的描述可以看出由于吸烟的巨大危害，作者为吸烟者感到非常担心，并建议他们不要吸烟，远离吸烟区。
8．The second paragraph mainly tells us________．
A．the great harm of second－hand smoke
B．the basic parts of smoke
C．why the number of people getting diseases keeps increasing
D．how to reduce the effect of smoke
A 解析：段落大意题。文章第二段通过几个数字和二手烟雾中所含有的有害成分来说明被动吸烟的害处。
C
Skiing has always been a big part of Mikaela Shiffrin’s life. Her dad ski raced all through college and her mom raced and coached skiing. The Shiffrins taught Mikaela and her brother, Taylor, to ski at a very young age. At two and a half years old, Mikaela made her first ski run down her driveway on plastic skis.
Mikaela loved skiing. From ages 8 to 11，she did hundreds of training runs on small hills to learn the skills of slalom skiing(障碍滑雪)．When Mikaela was 11, she began to learn at the Burke Mountain Academy, a Vermont boarding school for skiers. She took classes, studied, and practiced her skiing. According to Burke Mountain Academy headmaster Kirk Dwyer, “What separated Mikaela from others was the degree of her commitment(投入) to be the best. Mikaela practiced more than anyone and believed in herself then and now.”At age 14, Mikaela began her international career when she raced in the world championships for 13－and 14－year－olds. And she won!
By the time she was 17, she had already won her first World Cup race. “Living away from home four and five months at a time can be difficult，” Mikaela says.“But it can also be exciting. I’m getting to see the world.” When Mikaela began ski racing in Europe, her mother, Eileen, stayed with her. She worked as her high－school teacher while they were on the road.“She has always been a super－hard worker，” says Eileen.
For Mikaela, working hard is a full－time job. Even her off－season is work time. “If you want something, just try your best，” she says. At the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia，18－year－old Mikaela Shiffrin became the youngest slalom skier ever to win an Olympic gold medal.

“I wish I grew up back in your childhood，” my 14－year－old son said to me. He has an iPhone that is newer than mine. He has many kind friends. There are many forms of entertainment today and he can find nearly all of human knowledge through the Internet. However, he wishes he grew up in the 1970s and 1980s. “Why？” I asked. My son’s answer involves freedom, risk and over－involvement(参与) of adults in kids’ lives.
My son has heard his dad tell stories of summer days at the river with his friends. They would jump off the wooden bridge into the water below. My son lives just a few blocks from the same river and the same bridge. The town hasn’t changed, but times have changed. My son knows that if he and his friends tried to jump off the bridge and swim as his dad did many times, the most likely outcome(结果) is that some kind adults would call the police.
At 14, an age at which, in generations past, most boys were contributing to the well－being of their families by working, and my son is ready, able and willing to put his skills and strength to the test in the real world. However, he, like so many other American boys and girls, is prevented by a culture that seems to have raised safety to the highest regard, without considering how a lack of risk might negatively affect kids’ development.
Let kids try some risky things—cutting the lawn; using tools and sharp knives; starting a fire; cooking—under the supervision(监管) of an adult who tells them safety rules. Allow your kids to gradually take more responsibility. A kid who helps prepare and cook meals will be better prepared to cook independently.
Above all, encourage and praise your kids’ determination. Their desire to deal with challenges and take risks will serve them well in the years to come.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。作者认为孩子应该在成人的监护下适当地去做一些冒险的事情，家长不应该一味地保护孩子。

A．To praise her son for his creativity.
B．To encourage kids to live a simple life.
C．To introduce the topic of kids’ lacking(缺乏) chance to risk.
D．To show kids’ love for their parents’ childhood life.

2．If trying to jump into the river, the author’s son would be ________．
A．warned of danger
B．stopped by the police
C．praised for his courage

3．What does the author advise parents to do?
A．Try risky things before their kids.
B．Help their kids complete risky things.
C．Let their kids know the safety rules first.

D 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的“...under the supervision(监管) of an adult who tells them safety rules.”可知，孩子做冒险的事情时，父母应该在一旁看着孩子。
4．What might be the best title for this passage?
A．Let Your Kids Take A Risk!
B．Improve Your Kids’ Determination!

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way.Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever.Hundreds more are on the danger list today.About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care？Because we need animals.And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.
Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food.Every animal has its place in the balance of nature.Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.
For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice.Why？Because hawks eat mice.With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the mice multiplied quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals.Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem.And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
Quite a few countries have passed laws.These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list.Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇关于动物保护的说明文。目前，世界范围内动物的数量正在不断下降，保护动物刻不容缓。保护动物不仅是为动物，也是为我们人类自己的生存考虑。幸运的是，现在有的国家已经开始行动，例如成立保护组织或制定法律等对动物进行有效的保护。
1．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Save the Animals
B．Useful Animals
C．Laws for Animals
D．Animals in Danger
A 解析：标题归纳题。文章提到动物面临的生存现状、保护动物的必要性以及目前一些国家对野生动物所采取的保护性措施等都体现了保护动物的主题，故文章标题应是“保护动物”。
2．Animals are important to us mainly because ________．
A．they give us a source of food
B．they are beautiful and lovely
C．they keep the balance of nature
D．they give us a lot of pleasure
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的Animals are more than...in the balance of nature.可知，每一种动物的存在都是有道理的，都是为了维持自然界的平衡。
3．What is the meaning of the underlined word “multiplied”in the passage?
A．Became more. B．Became less.
C．Turned black. D．Ate food.
A 解析：词义猜测题。由画线词所在的段落可以看出，当鹰的数量因人类的捕杀而减少时，粮食受老鼠的毁坏会加重。没有鹰对老鼠的捕杀，老鼠的数量自然是增长很快，即“变得更多”。
4．We can infer from the passage that ________．
A．people have known the importance of animal protection since a long time ago
B．animals play an important role in people’s life
C．the number of hawks is on the decrease
D．many countries passed laws forbidding the killing of any animal
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段和第四段的描述可知，此前人们对于动物的保护并不关注，当然也并未意识到保护动物的重要性，故可排除A项。通过对文章第四段的理解可知动物在人们的生活中起着重要作用，故B项正确。文中提到鹰的数量由于人类的捕杀而减少，但并非现在的情况，故可排除C项。D项中提到许多国家制定了法律来禁止对一切动物的捕杀，忽略了文中on the danger list这个说法，故该项是不对的。
B

B．the basic parts of smoke
C．why the number of people getting diseases keeps increasing

Passenger pigeons(旅鸽) were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s.It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons—groups that made a sound like a storm.But today，they are extinct because of human behavior.Now，some scientists want to bring passenger pigeons back to life by using new technology and scientific ideas.They call this process de－extinction.
De－extinction has not happened yet.It is still just an idea.The process of de－extinction is not easy.First，scientists must collect DNA from the bodies of extinct animals.Then they will put it in the eggs of similar animal species.When these animals become adults，they will have babies.And these baby animals will have the DNA of the extinct animals.
Scientists believe it is possible to bring back passenger pigeons and many other animals.However，not everyone thinks this is a good idea.
Stuart Primm is the world’s leading expert on modern animal extinction.He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth.On one hand, these animals no longer have a safe place to live.On the other hand, they could cause other animals to die.
Many other scientists do not agree with Stuart Primm.Stuart Brand，a writer and scientist，is one of them.He believes de－extinction is good for many reasons.
“The current generation(当代) of children will experience the return of some unusual animals in their lifetime.It may be part of what defines their generation and their attitude to the natural world.They will take their parents to zoos to see the growing populations of passenger pigeons, and maybe even dodo birds.This will provide a good deal of money for zoos busy with extinct species restoration(恢复). Humans killed off a lot of species over the last 10，000 years. So, it’s right to bring some back to life，” he said.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了灭绝物种复活这一新科技。

Being blind is hard. But things were even harder for those disabled kids who were born in a small village in India, where most people thought that kids with disabilities were useless. Srikanth Bolla was one of them. Luckily, Srikanth’s parents loved their son and refused to give in to social pressure. They encouraged the blind boy to reach for the stars.
Srikanth didn’t disappoint his parents. The 24－year－old young man is the founder and CEO of Bollant Industries, a successful company that makes environmentally friendly packaging.
Of course, getting here wasn’t easy. As a young boy, Srikanth went to a regular school. But the students and teachers there didn’t accept his disability. As a result, the young boy often was largely ignored.
Worried about Srikanth’s study, his parents finally sent him to a special needs school. The young boy soon rose to the top of his class, but he was not allowed to study sciences, because it was believed too dangerous for a blind student. This was a big setback since it meant that he couldn’t take the entrance exams for any of India’s top engineering colleges to realize his dream.
Not one to give up, Srikanth managed to study in the University of Cambridge in the UK. After graduating with a degree in computer science and business management, Srikanth decided to return to India and devoted himself to helping the country’s disabled people.
In 2012, he built Bollant Industries. In just four years, Bollant Industries has become a success with over 450 workers, 70% of whom are physically disabled.
Srikanth attributes(把……归于) his success to his parents. Though being poor and uneducated, they encouraged Srikanth to realize his dreams and taught him that true happiness comes from helping others.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。一出生就双目失明的 Srikanth Bolla 在父母精心的抚养和支持下，直面挑战，创建了自己的公司，为家乡的残疾人提供了就业机会。
5．Why do the disabled kids in the small village lead a difficult life?
A．They are often looked down upon.
B．They can do nothing for society.
C．Their parents are too poor to support them.
D．They have no chance to realize their dreams.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的 ... where most people thought that kids with disabilities were useless 可知，在 Srikanth 出生的村庄，残疾的孩子往往被人看不起。
6．What happened to Srikanth in a regular school?
A．He was the top of his class.
B．He made no friends and felt lonely.
C．He wasn’t allowed to learn science.
D．He was encouraged to start his own business.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的But the students and teachers there didn’t accept his disability. As a result, the young boy often was largely ignored.可知，在普通学校，老师和同学们不接受 Srikanth，他经常被大家忽视，由此可以推知，Srikanth 在那里交不到朋友，感到很孤单。
7．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “setback” in Paragraph 4?
A．Support. B．Difficulty.
C．Fault. D．Chance.
B 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线单词后面的 since it meant that he couldn’t take the entrance exams for any of India’s top engineering colleges to realize his dream 可知，在印度，失明的孩子是禁止学理科的，这将成为 Srikanth Bolla 实现自己工程师梦想的阻碍。由此可知，difficulty 最接近 setback 的含义，故答案选B。
8．How does Srikanth help the disabled people in India?
A．He builds schools for them.
B．He supports them to study aboard.
C．He lets them manage his company.
D．He provides job opportunities for them.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的 ... Bollant Industries has become a success with over 450 workers，70% of whom are physically disabled 可知， Srikanth 建立了自己的公司，通过为残疾人提供就业机会的方式来帮助他们。
C
Archerfish(射水鱼)，a species famous for spitting(吐) water to shoot insects out of the air, can recognize one human face from another.
In the laboratory, instead of shooting insects, the fish were taught to spit at pictures of human faces showed on a computer screen outside their aquarium.The fish were first introduced to two faces, and taught to spit at one of them in exchange for a food reward. The researchers then tested whether the fish would recognize and spit at the face they had learned from among 44 new ones. And they were right more than 80% of the time.
To the researchers’surprise, even when they did that with faces that were in black and white, the fish were still able to find the face they were trained to recognize.
Telling one human face from another is a surprisingly difficult task. As we all have two eyes above a nose and a mouth, doing so depends on recognizing some extremely small differences.
“It has been supposed that this task is so difficult that it can only be completed by higher animals, which have a large and complex(复杂的)brain，” said Newport, whose study was published in the journal Scientific Reports. “But the archerfish were able to do this without having a neocortex, the most recently developed part of the brain. In humans, the neocortex governs our sense and language.”
“Fish have a simpler brain than humans and they don’t have the section of the brain that humans use for recognizing faces，” Newport said.“Even though, many fish show amazing visual(视力的) behaviors and therefore make the perfect subjects to test whether simple brains can complete complex tasks.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。一项实验结果表明：射水鱼不仅捕获猎物的方式很特别，而且还能识别人类的面孔。
9．What were the archerfish asked to do in the laboratory?
A．Pick out the face they knew.
B．Shoot the computers from a far distance.
C．Count the number of faces on the screen.
D．Pick out black and white pictures from colorful ones.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句话可知，研究人员训练射水鱼从众多人脸中识别已经给它们看过的人脸，故答案选A。
10．What can we learn about the archerfish?
A．They have a complex brain.
B．Their neocortex is very large.
C．They belong to higher animals.
D．They have excellent eyesight.
D 解析：推理判断题。结合第四段中的 ... doing so depends on recognizing some extremely small differences 和最后一段中Newport说的话可知，识别人脸需要发现一些很细微的差别；鱼类虽然没有复杂的大脑，但是很多鱼类的视力都很好，这为研究人员提供了很好的研究课题。由此可以推知，射水鱼拥有极好的视力。
11．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To encourage people to protect fish.
B．To introduce a kind of fish with special ability.
C．To introduce the result of a study on archerfish.
D．To show that animals with simpler brains are smarter.
C 解析：主旨大意题。通读文章可知，作者介绍了一项实验结果：射水鱼能识别人类的脸。
D
The great success of Finding Dory is being met with mixed feelings by experts. That’s because though the movie can draw attention to our weak coral reefs(珊瑚礁) that need protection, it may lead to further damage to life at sea.
After the movie Finding Nemo came out in 2003, the clownfish(小丑鱼) became popular with every kid in America. As a result, the number of clownfish in the wild greatly dropped. Blue tangs(蓝吊鱼) also became popular pets because of the movie. Sadly, most blue tangs are caught with the help of cyanide(氰化物)．
Cyanide works on the fish, allowing them to be easily caught and sold to pet stores. Cyanide is harmful to humans. It also harms coral and other life at sea. Even the fish that are caught by using cyanide are harmed. Many end up dying within months of being brought to the store.
It is not allowed to sell fish that have been caught using cyanide in the U．S. However, a 2008 study discovered that up to 90% of the 11 million pet fish brought into the country each year have been caught using this harmful fishing method. More recently, two researchers Craig Downs and Rene Umberger did a study to test if the fish sold in U．S. pet stores had been harmed by cyanide. They found that of the 100 fish bought from stores in California, Hawaii, Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia, over half, including the blue tangs, had cyanide in their body.
To help people make better decisions when looking for fish for their kids, the researchers made a free mobile app. Called Tank Watch, the app helps people to know whether a fish has been caught using illegal fishing methods.
The World Wildlife Foundation is asking fans of the movie not to “Find” Dory, but to “Protect”the beautiful fish! This means not rushing out and buying a blue tang after watching the film. As Ellen Degeneres, voice actress for Dory, says, the movie is not about “Finding” Dory, but about “putting it back to the ocean”．
【解题导语】 很多人喜欢把海里的鱼当宠物养，这使得一些人用化学药物来捕鱼，给海洋生态系统造成了威胁。
12．What makes experts worried after the movie Finding Dory came out?
A．That people may not like it.
B．That the clownfish will disappear.
C．That people may rush out to buy a “Dory”．
D．That coral reefs may not draw any attention.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据文章内容可推断， Finding Dory这部电影使得Dory这种鱼很受欢迎，专家们担心人们会大量购买这种鱼，从而对海洋生态系统构成危害。
13．What do the two studies mentioned in Paragraph 4 tell us?
A．It’s very hard to catch pet fish at sea.
B．Blue tangs are very popular in the U．S.
C．Cyanide is not allowed to use in the U．S.
D．Many pet fish in the U．S. are caught by using cyanide.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的up to 90%of the 11 million pet fish...have been caught using this harmful fishing method 以及of the 100 fish bought from stores ... over half...had cyanide in their body可知，这两个研究表明美国的很多宠物鱼都是用氰化物捕捉到的。
14．Tank Watch would most probably be used by people who want to ________．
A．buy a pet fish online
B．catch fish more easily
C．talk about movies with others
D．avoid buying illegally－caught fish
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第五段的Called Tank Watch，the app helps people to know whether a fish has been caught using illegal fishing methods.可知，那些想要避免买到使用非法途径捕捉到宠物鱼的人会使用这个软件。
15．What Ellen Degeneres says mainly shows that people should ________．
A．avoid keeping a blue tang
B．go to watch Finding Dory
C．help experts find blue tangs
D．return their pet fish to the sea
A 解析：细节理解题。根据末段的．..says，the movie is not about “Finding” Dory，but about “putting it back to the ocean” 可知，这个人说的话表明我们应该让蓝吊鱼回归海洋，所以不应该养蓝吊鱼。

I hate them when people talk loudly on their mobile phones on a bus or train. I also hate people drive and text, which are not allowed by law. It often makes you angrily when they sit at traffic lights, texting away. They can hardly notice it even when the light turns up green. Beside, I dislike those who are too interesting in their mobile phones. I go to a football match with a friend recently and he was just texting away the whole time. In fact, he spent more time talk to other people than he did for me!

One possible version：
Animals are our friends. As students, what should we do to protect animals?
Firstly, we mustn’t litter, which is the easiest way to help protect the environment. Littering increases the damage to animals’ habitats. Secondly, turn off the lights when you leave the room, turn off the water when you don’t need it and take cloth bags instead of plastic bags when you go shopping. That will also help protect the environment. Thirdly, it’s necessary to make more people realize the importance of protecting animals. Lastly, be brave to stop those who harm or kill animals or call the police.
I believe that if we all try our best, animals will be protected well.
