Understanding
ideas
It
was
1972,
and
I
was
in
second
grade.
In
the
classroom,
the
teacher,
Ms
Boyette,
was
__1__
aloud
to
us
from
Island
of
the
Blue
Dolphins.
And
we
had
just
come
to
a
part
of
the
book
where
the
main
character
was
training
a
wild
dog.
I
was
listening,
caught
up
in
the
__2__
of
all.
Not
far
away
from
me,
there
seated
a
boy
who
always
frightened
or
__3__others,
so
I
was
__4__
of
this
boy.
While
Ms
Boyette
was
reading,
I
looked
over
at
him,
for
he
was
someone
I
was
in
the
__5__
of
keeping
an
eye
on.
I
noticed
that
he
was
listening
too,
that
he
was
engaged
by
the
__6__,
and
that
he
was
leaning
forward
in
his
seat
and
listening
with
all
his
heart.
I
__7__
at
him,
open?mouthed.
I
was
__8__
with
a
sudden
knowledge
that
this
boy
was
in
fact
just
__9__
me.
He
was
a
kid
who
liked
a
story.
The
boy
must
__10__
my
eyes
on
him,
because
he
turned.
Then
something
__11__
happened.
He
smiled
at
me.
__12__,
I
smiled
back,
unafraid.
We
were
two
kids
smiling
at
each
other.
Why
have
I
never
forgotten
this
small
moment?
Why
do
I
still
__13__
every
detail
of
it?
I
think
it's
because
that
moment
illustrates
so
beautifully
the
__14__
of
reading
out
loud.
It
shows
us
into
a
safe
room,
where
everyone
involved,
the
reader
and
the
listener,
can
have
that
chance
to
__15__
each
other.
We
humans
long
not
just
for
the
story,
not
just
for
the
flow
of
language,
but
for
the
connection
that
comes
when
words
are
read
aloud.

The
Great
Wall,
China
Stretching
over
21,000
kilometers,
the
Great
Wall
was
built
to
prevent
invasions
and
has
a
history
of
more
than
2,000
years.
UNESCO
in
February
2019
calls
it
an
absolute
masterpiece,
not
only
because
of
the
ambitious
character
of
the
undertaking
but
also
the
perfection
of
its
construction.
But
perfection
isn't
protection.
51.2
percent
of
the
Great
Wall
had
either
already
disappeared
or
is
at
a
significant
risk
of
disappearing.
Besides
for
wind
and
rain
erosion,
the
main
reasons
for
the
destruction
of
the
Great
Wall
are
human
factors
such
as
tourism,
construction,
human
contact
and
so
on.
Pamukkale,Turkey
Pamukkale,
which
means
“cotton
castle”
in
Turkish,
is
famous
for
its
shining
white
calcite
terraces
(方解石阶地)with
warm
and
mineral?rich
waters
overrun.
Before
being
listed
as
a
World
Heritage
Site
in
1988,
Pamukkale
had
been
severely
damaged
by
human
activities.
People
used
hot
spring
water
to
fill
swimming
pools,
some
visitors
stood
on
the
rocks
and
some
even
bathed
in
the
hot
springs
with
soap
and
shampoo.
To
protect
the
terraces,
the
Turkish
government
has
decided
to
pull
down
the
hotels
and
require
all
tourists
to
visit
this
site
barefoot.
Great
Barrier
Reef,
Australia
Home
to
400
types
of
coral
and
1,500
species
of
fish,
the
Great
Barrier
Reef
draws
visitors
to
Australia
from
all
over
the
world.
However,
the
Great
Barrier
Reef
is
expected
to
suffer
from
increasingly
frequent
bleaching
events,
cases
in
which
corals
turn
white
and
may
die,
according
to
a
UNESCO
report.
The
heat
waves
caused
by
global
warming
have
killed
half
of
the
coral
here
in
the
two
years,
according
to
a
CNN
report.
Pollution
from
industry
developments
and
harmful
fishing
practices
are
also
big
concerns.
The
Dead
Sea,
Jordan
At
423
meters
below
sea
level,
the
Dead
Sea
is
10
times
saltier
than
the
ocean,
meaning
that
the
water
is
so
dense,
even
tourists
who
can't
swim
will
be
able
to
float.
But
the
seaside
resorts
built
in
the
1980s
now
sit
kilometers
away
from
the
water's
edge,
which
has
lost
half
of
its
surface
area
in
the
past
40
years.
The
damage
is
irreversible
due
to
the
nature
of
the
mineral
industry
and
the
type
of
agricultural
use
that
has
drained
the
water.
本文是一篇应用文,介绍了世界上的四大景观——中国长城、土耳其棉花堡、澳大利亚大堡礁和约旦死海,它们都受到了严重的破坏。
1.Which
are
you
required
to
visit
without
shoes?
A.The
Great
Wall,
China.
B.Pamukkale,
Turkey.
C.Great
Barrier
Reef,
Australia.
D.The
Dead
Sea,
Jordan.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据Pamukkale,Turkey中的“To
protect
the
terraces,
the
Turkish
government
has
decided
to
pull
down
the
hotels
and
require
all
tourists
to
visit
this
site
barefoot.”可知,为了保护方解石阶地,土耳其政府决定所有游客必须赤脚参观棉花堡,故B项正确。
2.Which
of
the
following
statements
is
true?
A.Main
reasons
for
the
destruction
of
the
Great
Wall
come
from
wind
and
rain
erosion.
B.Pamukkale
was
damaged
by
human
activities
after
1988.
C.Pollution
and
the
heat
waves
caused
by
global
warming
kill
much
coral
in
the
Great
Barrier
Reef.
D.Half
of
the
Dead
Sea
surface
area
has
disappeared
in
the
past
two
decades.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据Great
Barrier
Reef,
Australia中的“The
heat
waves
caused
by
global

have
killed
half
of
the
coral
here
in
the
two

according
to
a
CNN
report.
Pollution
from
industry
developments
and
harmful
fishing
practices
are
also
big
concerns.”可知,全球变暖引发的热浪杀死了大堡礁里一半的珊瑚,来自工业和捕鱼业的污染也是极大的担忧,故C项正确。
3.What
do
the
above
spots
have
in
common?
A.They
are
all
famous
endangered
natural
spots.
B.They're
damaged
only
from
human
activities.
C.They
all
draw
the
attention
of
the
governments.
D.They're
all
seriously
damaged.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据The
Great
Wall,
China
中的“51.2
percent
of
the
Great
Wall
had
either
already
disappeared
or
is
at
a
significant

B
How
far
would
you
go
for
your
kid's
education?
That's
a
question
many
parents
are
asking
in
the
wake
of
the
college
cheating
scandal
(丑闻)involving
38
wealthy
parents
around
the
country,
including
actresses
Lori
Loughlin
and
Felicity
Huffman.
Here's
how
far
I
went.
In
the
fall
of
2017
my
husband
and
I
lost
our
jobs.
We
had
to
tell
our
daughter,
Casey,
that
we
couldn't
afford
to
send
her
back
to
school
for
her
junior
year
at
Fordham
University.
We
decided
the
best
choice
for
our
family
would
be
for
Casey
to
sit
out
a
year.
We
promised
that
we
would
get
her
back
the
following
year.
Casey
decided
to
spend
the
year
volunteering
in
South
Africa.
On
Sept
30,
2017,
we
put
our
oldest
child
on
a
plane
halfway
around
the
world.
Casey
worked
as
a
tutor
teaching
kids
math,
English
and
music
in
Johannesburg.
We
did
get
Casey
back
in
school
in
time.
When
she
returned
to
the
campus,
she
studied
harder.
She
isn't
what
she
used
to
be.
Each
day
is
marked
by
gratitude
because
she
knows
what
it
is
like
not
to
be
able
to
get
an
education.
I
wonder
why
the
college
cheating
scandal
happened
and
I
think
it
boils
down
to
this:
Parents
want
to
create
a
comfort
zone
for
their
kids.
Of
course,
we
want
the
best
for
our
kids
but
sometimes
we
forget
that
real
growth
doesn't
happen
in
times
of
comfort;
those
valuable
lessons
come
when
we
are
forced
to
think
in
ways
we
otherwise
wouldn't
have.
While
I
did
less
for
my
child
than
these
wealthy
parents
did
in
terms
of
means,
in
other
ways
I
did
more.
I
taught
her
that
disappointment
is
a
part
of
life
and
we
should
face
it
bravely
rather
than
avoid
it.
My
husband
and
I
showed
Casey
that
her
strength
is
in
her
struggle.
That's
how
far
I
went
for
my
kid's
education.
And
I
dare
say
she
is
wiser
and
better
off
for
it.
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者由大学作弊丑闻入手并结合自己教育女儿的经历告诉我们,真正的成长不是发生在安逸的时候,父母应该让孩子体验失望。

are
conservative.

of
school
________.
A.for

that
we
couldn't
afford
to
send

volunteering
in

to
be

本文是一篇说明文,介绍了为了纪念雷锋,肯德基推出了一个新的主题餐厅,餐厅组织了多种活动来弘扬雷锋精神。
1.celebrated
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:雷锋是中国一位传奇的军人,他的无私和谦逊在中国得到了广泛的赞誉。soldier与celebrate之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,表示被动,用过去分词作后置定语,故填celebrated。
2.selflessness
解析:考查词性转换。句意参考上题解析,此处与modesty并列,用名词作介词for的宾语,表示“无私”,故填selflessness。
3.official
解析:考查词性转换。句意:这家餐厅于周日开业,比每年3月5日全国法定的荣军纪念日早两天。设空处修饰名词短语remembrance
day应用形容词,故填official。
4.when
解析:考查定语从句。句意:3月5日这天,人们通过表达善意和伸出援手来纪念他的精神。此处为定语从句,先行词为March
5,从句中缺少时间状语,故填when。
5.a
解析:考查冠词。句意参考上题解析,hand是可数名词,此处用不定冠词表泛指,give
a
helping
hand表示“伸出援助之手”,故填a。
6.better
解析:考查副词比较级。句意:这家餐厅将组织一系列活动,并与当地雷锋纪念馆合作以更好地弘扬雷锋精神。根据句意可知此处表示“更好地”,应用副词比较级,故填better。
7.At
解析:考查介词。句意:在餐厅的入口处,立着两个雷锋的雕塑,餐厅的内部装饰着雷锋的卡通肖像和日记中的语录。at
the
entrance
of表示“在……的入口处”,故填At。
8.is_decorated
解析:考查时态和语态。句意参考上题解析,文章的基础时态为一般现在时,inner
part与decorate之间是被动关系,应该用一般现在时的被动语态,故填is
decorated。
9.providing
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:他们还将在全省250家门店推出一个致力于弘扬雷锋的美德的项目,包括为门卫提供免费饮用水和休息场所。including是介词,后面接动名词作宾语,故填providing。

New
York
Times
bestseller,
Dragons
Love
Tacos
is
a
great
read
for
kids
and
parents
as
it
talks
about
how
much
dragons
really
love
tacos,
but
when
they
eat
something
spicy
you'd
better
watch
out!”可知,在这本书中这些龙吃了一些很辣的东西,由此产生出一些有趣的行为。故选C。
B
In
a
recent
series
of
experiments
at
the
University
of
California,
researchers
studied
toddlers'
thinking
about
winners
and
losers,
bullies
(欺凌者)
and
victims.
In
the
first
experiment,
toddlers
watched
a
scene
in
which
two
puppets
(木偶)
had
conflicting
goals:
One
was
crossing
a
stage
from
right
to
left,
and
the
other
from
left
to
right.
The
puppets
met
in
the
middle
and
stopped.
Eventually
one
puppet
bowed
down
and
moved
aside,
letting
the
other
one
pass
by.
Then
researchers
asked
the
toddlers
which
puppet
they
liked.
The
result:
20
out
of
23
toddlers
picked
the
higher?status
puppet—the
one
that
did
not
bow
or
move
aside.
It
seems
that
individuals
can
gain
status
for
being
dominant
(占优势的)
and
toddlers
like
winners
better
than
losers.
But
then
researchers
had
another
question:
Do
toddlers
like
winners
no
matter
how
they
win?
So,
researchers
did
another
experiment
very
similar
to
the
one
described
above.
But
this
time,
the
conflict
ended
because
one
puppet
knocked
the
other
down
and
out
of
the
way.
Now
when
the
toddlers
were
asked
who
they
liked,
the
results
were
different:
Only
4
out
of
23
children
liked
the
winner.
These
data
suggest
that
children
already
love
a
winner
by
the
age
of
21—31
months.
This
does
not
necessarily
mean
that
the
preference
is
inborn:
21
months
is
enough
time
to
learn
a
lot
of
things.
But
if
a
preference
for
winners
is
something
we
learn,
we
appear
to
learn
it
quite
early.
Even
more
interesting,
the
preference
for
winners
is
not
absolute.
Children
in
our
study
did
not
like
a
winner
who
knocked
a
competitor
down.
This
suggests
that
already
by
the
age
of
21—31
months,
children's
liking
for
winners
is
balanced
with
other
social
concerns,
including
perhaps
a
general
preference
for
nice
or
helpful
people
over
aggressive
ones.
In
a
time
when
the
news
is
full
of
stories
of
public
figures
who
celebrate
winning
at
all
costs,
these
results
give
us
much
confidence.
Humans
understand
dominance,
but
we
also
expect
strong
individuals
to
guide,
protect
and
help
others.
This
feels
like
good
news.
本文是一篇说明文。介绍了研究人员进行了一系列的试验,研究幼儿对赢家和输家、欺凌者和受害者的态度。
4.One
of
the
purposes
of
the
experiments
is
to
________.
A.teach
toddlers
how
to
gain
higher
status
B.offer
toddlers
a
chance
to
watch
a
scene
C.observe
the
process
of
toddlers'
solving
a
conflict
D.find
out
toddlers'
attitude
toward
winners
and
losers
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“researchers
studied
toddlers'
thinking
about
winners
and
losers,
bullies
(欺凌者)
and
victims.”可知,研究人员研究了幼儿对赢家和输家、欺凌者和受害者的看法,由此可知,试验的其中一个目的是查明幼儿对赢家和输家的态度,故D项正确。
5.The
toddlers
regarded
bowing
and
moving
aside
as
a
sign
of
________.
A.obeying
rules
B.gaining
status
C.giving
in
to
the
other
D.showing
good
manners
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The
result:
20
out
of
23
toddlers
picked
the
higher?status
puppet—the
one
that
did
not
bow
or
move
aside.
It
seems
that
individuals
can
gain
status
for
being
dominant
(占优势的)
and
toddlers
like
winners
better
than
losers.”可知,23名幼儿中有20名选择了地位较高的玩偶,即不鞠躬也不让开的玩偶,似乎每个人都可以通过占优势而获得地位,幼儿更喜欢赢家而不是输家,由此可知,幼儿把鞠躬和让开看作是向对方屈服的标志,故C项正确。
6.What
does
the
second
experiment
tell
us
about
toddlers?
A.They
are
excellent
learners.
B.They
are
always
changeable.
C.They
show
mercy
to
the
loser.
D.They
value
kindness
over
winning.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Children
in
our
study
did
not
like
a
winner
who
knocked
a
competitor
down.
This
suggests
that
already
by
the
age
of
21—31
months,
children's
liking
for
winners
is
balanced
with
other
social
concerns,
including
perhaps
a
general
preference
for
nice
or
helpful
people
over
aggressive
ones.”可知,第二个试验中孩子们不喜欢击倒对方的赢家,这表明到21—31个月大时,孩子们对赢家的喜爱是与其他社会问题相平衡的,其中包括友善或乐于助人的人的普遍偏爱,而不是好斗的人,由此可知,第二个试验表明21—23个月大的孩子看重友善胜过获胜,故D项正确。
7.What
does
the
author
think
of
the
results
of
the
series
of
experiments?
A.Disappointing.
B.Encouraging.
C.Unexpected.
D.Controversial.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“these
results
give
us
much
confidence.”(这些结果给了我们很大的自信)及“This
feels
like
good
news.”(这听起来是个好消息)可知,作者认为试验结果是令人鼓舞的,故B项正确。
Lots
of
people
give
you
advice
on
overcoming
fear.
__1__
However,
I
want
to
tell
you
that
a
world
without
fear
would
be
more
dangerous,
less
rewarding.
So
we
want
to
treat
fear
as
a
friend?
Here
are
three
reasons.
__2__
Think
about
it.
Do
you
get
more
nervous
when
you
meet
the
girl
(or
guy)
of
your
dreams?
Which
is
more
fearful,
talking
to
the
boss
of
your
company
or
to
some
of
your
friends?
__3__
If
you
didn't
have
fear
to
guide
you,
you
might
not
know
that!
Not
so
bad,
right?
Next,
fear
encourages
us
to
take
action.
Fear
is
a
call
to
action.
In
the
past,
our
ancestors
didn't
run
away
in
fear
when
they
saw
a
tiger
running
toward
them
but
tried
to
kill
it
for
food.
Now,
most
of
us
don't
face
serious
danger
like
hungry
tigers
every
day,
but
we
do
face
serious
bosses
or
public
speaking.
So,
what
can
we
do?
__4__
Lastly,
fear
lets
you
know
you
are
alive.
Why
do
we
like
roller
coasters?
__5__
Same
for
horror
movies.
So
fear
can
guide
you
towards
what's
important
for
you
and
encourage
you
to
take
action
to
improve.
Don't
we
all
need
that
kind
of
friend?
A.Don't
fear
to
be
wrong.
B.It
frightens
us
in
a
mostly
safe
way.
C.Imagine
what
life
would
be
like
without
fear.
D.The
first
is
that
fear
is
an
excellent
guide
to
opportunity.
E.They
say
if
you
can
overcome
fear,
you
will
be
successful.
F.Let
fear
provide
us
with
the
energy
to
do
what
needs
to
be
done.
G.Fear
is
showing
you
what
is
important
and
what
matters
to
you.
现实生活中很多人在想办法克服恐惧,但是恐惧也是有好的一面的,它能够帮助我们成长。本文是一篇说明文,揭示了恐惧的好处,告诉我们恐惧其实并不可怕。
1.E 解析:根据所缺句子的后一句However,
I
want
to
tell
you
that
a
world
without
fear
would
be
more
dangerous,
less
rewarding.然而,我却想告诉你,一个没有恐惧的世界可能会更加危险而回报较少。从表达转折的However这里推断出前一句说的意思应该与这一句相反。故选E。
2.D 解析:本文是一篇总分结构的说明文,作者分三个方面说明了恐惧存在的合理性,在后两段开头有Next以及Lastly表示顺序的词,说明前面应该还有一个第一点。故选D。
3.G 解析:由上一题可知,这一段说的是恐惧是机会的绝佳导航。该空前面的句子是对比面对公司老板和面对朋友的时候哪一种情况更让你害怕,后一句是说,如果没有恐惧在引导着你,你可能根本就不知道这个。结合选项意思,G合适,故选G。
4.F 解析:该句所在段落在描述作者的第二个观点——恐惧促使我们采取行动。该空前说古时候我们的先人面对老虎不会逃而是迎上去与其搏斗,现在社会上没有老虎,但是有我们的老板和公众演讲,我们要怎么办呢?结合采取行动的段落大意,故选F。
5.B 解析:该句所在段落是作者第三个观点,恐惧使我们认识到我们还活着。为什么我们喜欢云霄飞车?以及该空后一句,恐怖电影也是这样。结合选项,B最合适,故选B。
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
All
parents
know
exercise
is
important
for
children:
It
can
lower
heart
risks,
control
weight,and
help
kids
do
better
in
school.
Plus,
outdoor
activities
at
an
early
age
can
go
a
long
way
toward
helping
children
form
healthy
habits
for
life.
In
other
words,
exercise
is
needed
for
healthy
development.
But
don't
expect
kids
to
understand
about
those
things.
Some
kids
just
aren't
into
exercise,
but
that
shouldn't
mean
they
have
to
be
addicted
to
the
TV.
So
parents
could
do
something
to
help
inactive
son
or
daughter
fall
in
love
with
physical
activity.
If
parents
sit
in
front
of
the
TV
every
night,
a
bag
of
chips
in
hand,
kids
aren't
likely
to
respect
restrictions
(限制)
you
set
on
their
screen
time
either.
So
check
your
own
viewing
behavior,
and
serve
as
a
role
model
by
putting
physical
activity
into
your
everyday
life.
When
you
can,walk
instead
of
driving.
Regularly
participate
in
activities
that
you
enjoy
and
let
your
kids
see—and
hear
about—how
much
you
enjoy
them.
In
this
way,they
may
“do
as
the
Romans
do”.
Make
sure
that
children's
fitness
is
included
in
the
family
schedule
in
the
same
way
that
school,work,shopping,
and
family
gatherings
find
their
way
onto
the
calendar.
You
and
your
children
are
more
likely
to
stick
to
an
exercise
plan
if
you
incorporate
(并入)
it
into
your
life
on
a
routine
basis.
And
your
children
will
begin
to
expect
and
accept
that
Sunday
morning
usually
means
a
hike
ride,
and
a
couple
of
nights
after
dinner
the
family
takes
a
light
walk
through
the
neighborhood.
Children
who
aren't
naturally
good
at
physical
activities
may
be
self?conscious
about
their
lack
of
physical
skills
and
even
fear
public
failure.
These
kids
need
all
the
support
and
encouragement
from
parents.
Negative
comments
don't
work
and
will
only
serve
to
make
your
child
feel
bad.
Remember,
acknowledge
the
effort—choosing
to
be
active
or
trying
to
improve
a
skill—rather
than
the
outcome.
Since
exercise
is
significant
for
children's
healthy
growth,
parents
could
do
something
to
help
their
physically?inactive
kids
love
doing
exercise
with
the
following
tips.
(要点1)
Primarily,
mind
parents'
own
behavior
and
set
good
examples
for
children
so
that
they
will
follow
suit.
(要点2)
Besides,
make
exercise
a
family
routine
and
in
this
way
kids
will
gradually
get
accustomed
to
it.
(要点3)
Moreover,
give
children
positive
feedback
and
lay
emphasis
on
the
process
(efforts)
they
made
during
physical
activity
rather
than
the
outcome.
(要点4)

Story组织发出的投稿须知。故选C。
B
When
he
tells
people
that
he
is
deaf,
Oliver
Stabbe
is
called
a
liar.
“The
idea
that
deaf
people
cannot
speak
is
a
very
offensive
assumption,”
the
sophomore
(大二学生)
said.
Stabbe's
experience
speaks
of
many
of
the
misunderstandings
about
deaf
people
and
the
struggles
they
face—things
commonly
found
right
in
Rochester.
This
city
is
home
to
90,000
deaf
people,
a
significant
slice
of
the
more
than
1.1
million
national
population.
The
percentage
of
deaf
people
here
is
higher
than
the
national
average,
due
in
part
to
RIT's
National
Technical
Institute
for
the
Deaf,
the
first
technological
college
in
the
world
created
specifically
for
the
deaf
and
hard
of
hearing.
“Really,
there
seems
to
be
an
embarrassment
in
communicating
with
deaf
people,”
said
sophomore
Stephen
Davis,
another
deaf
student.
This
awkwardness
might
arise
because
non?deaf
people
just
don't
know
how
to
do
so
without
possibly
offending
someone.
“I
guess
they
think
saying
‘deaf’
is
offensive,
but
it
really
isn't
and
deaf
people
don't
get
upset
about
it,”
Davis
said.
He
noted
that
the
biggest
issue
he's
had
when
communicating
with
other
students
is
their
anxiety
about
communicating.
Deaf
or
hard?of?hearing
students
also
face
frustrations
(令人心烦的事)
on
their
end
when
interacting
with
others.
“Sometimes
people
talk
about
you,
maybe
to
a
non?deaf
friend
standing
beside
me,
as
if
I'm
not
there,”
Davis
said.
“That's
depressing.”
As
Davis
put
it,
“We
don't
see
ourselves
as
the
disabled,
so
the
awkwardness
is
only
one?sided.”
Stabbe
advised
that
those
communicating
should
not
make
assumptions
about
others'
preferences
or
ability.
If
you
have
a
question,
ask.
A
moment
of
awkwardness
is
absolutely
worth
it
if
you
are
being
educated
about
an
important
topic.
本文为一篇记叙文,主题语境是“人与社会”。与耳聋者聊天可能让人觉得很尴尬,但是对于耳聋者Oliver
Stabbe和Stephen
Davis来说,“聋”并不是不能提的事。
4.Why
are
there
more
deaf
people
in
Rochester?
A.Deaf
people
have
some
privileges
here.
B.Deaf
people
may
get
better
job
opportunities
here.
C.Deaf
people
meet
fewer
struggles
here.
D.A
professional
school
for
the
deaf
appeals
to
them.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The
percentage
of
deaf
people
here
is
higher
than
the
national
average,
due
in
part
to
RIT's
National
Technical
Institute
for
the
Deaf,
the
first
technological
college
in
the
world
created
specifically
for
the
deaf
and
hard
of
hearing.”可知,这里耳聋者的百分比高于全国平均水平,部分原因是这里有世界上第一所专门为耳聋和有听力障碍的人设立的学院,故答案为D。
5.What
may
embarrass
people
when
communicating
with
the
deaf
according
to
Davis?
A.They
are
afraid
of
upsetting
the
deaf.
B.They
are
unwilling
to
communicate.
C.They
don't
know
any
simple
gestures.
D.They
don't
challenge
enough
assumptions.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This
awkwardness
might
arise
because
non?deaf
people
just
don't
know
how
to
do
so
without
possibly
offending
someone.”(这种尴尬可能会出现,因为不聋的人不知道如何与耳聋的人聊天而又不冒犯对方)可知,与耳聋的人聊天会出现尴尬是因为不聋的人害怕让耳聋的人不高兴。
6.What
kind
of
person
is
Stephen
Davis?
A.Sensitive
and
talkative.
B.Reasonable
and
reliable.
C.Outspoken
and
aggressive.
D.Confident
and
intelligent.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的Davis通过细心观察得出结论可推知,他是一个聪明的人;根据第四段中的“We
don't
see
ourselves
as
the
disabled,
so
the
awkwardness
is
only
one?sided.”可知,他不认为自己是残疾人,由此推断他是一个很自信的人。
7.What
can
be
the
best
title
of
the
text?
A.We
can
hear
your
heart
B.“Deaf”
is
not
a
bad
word
C.Deaf
people
are
not
liars
D.Embarrassment
is
one?sided
答案:B
解析:标题判断题。根据上下文可知,耳聋者Oliver
Stabbe和Stephen
Davis认为“聋”不是一件令人难以启齿的事,与他们聊天出现尴尬是不聋的人单方面造成的,故B项(“聋”并不是不好的词)最能概括文章的主旨。
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

(leave)

I

I
had

I

I
then

(decide)

__7__
(lucky)
I

(organise).
This

I

B
A
mother,
Carrie
Cort,
51,
from
Sussex,
and
her
nine?year?old
son
have
been
named
the
UK's
most
environmentally
friendly
family
after
winning
an
award
for
their
environmental
achievements.
Now
every
aspect
of
her
life
is
environmentally
friendly,
from
her
son
Adam's
birthday
parties
to
her
clothing,
and
she
recycles
everything
from
empty
pens
to
milk
bottle
tops.
“Changing
our
family
lifestyle
to
green
has
saved
us
around
£11,
000
every
year,
which
has
given
us
more
financial
stability,”
Carrie
says.
“Living
green
has
made
us
healthier
and
I
feel
younger
now.
It
is
fun
seeing
what
you
can
make
with
unwanted
or
broken
things.
Growing
your
own
food
is
great
exercise,
good
for
wildlife,
and
the
food
is
much
more
nutritious
and
tastier.”
“My
concern
for
the
way
we
humans
are
treating
the
planet
was
really
roused
in
2008
when
Adam
was
born.
When
he
arrived,
I
suddenly
had
this
huge,
greater
awareness
of
the
kind
of
planet
we're
bringing
our
children
into
though
I
learnt
something
about
it
in
university.”
She
began
going
to
talks,
reading
books,
watching
documentaries
and
attending
green
meetings
in
order
to
educate
herself
in
the
details
of
green
living.
Carrie
set
up
the
local
campaign
group
Sussex
Green
Living
six
years
after
her
son's
birth.
Later,
she
gave
up
her
high?powered
job,
as
she
ran
a
video
company
with
her
brother,
to
do
her
job
full?time.
Today,
she
organizes
talks
and
workshops.
She
runs
a
repair
cafe,
where
people
can
bring
everything
to
be
fixed.
Her
recycling
program
helps
people
reuse
wastes.
Toothpaste
tubes,
for
example,
which
Carrie
sends
to
the
Philippines,
are
turned
into
purses
by
an
organization.
“My
goal
is
to
inspire
more
people
to
lead
greener,
more
environmentally
friendly
lives,
to
enable
us
to
live
in
greater
harmony
with
nature,
now
and
for
future
organizations.
I
achieve
this
using
various
Sussex
Green
Living
communication
programs
and
working
with
other
organizations
who
have
the
same
goals
and
values.”

C
About
6
years
ago,
I
was
on
a
plane
next
to
a
woman.
I
was
tired
and
wanted
to
take
a
nap.
But
before
I
could
go
into
“ignore
pattern”,
she
tapped
me
on
the
shoulder
to
introduce
herself.
“Hi:
my
name
is
Helga!”
We
got
to
talking
and
eventually
it
came
up
that
I
had
started
an
organization
in
high
school
called
R.A.K.E.
(Random
Acts
of
Kindness,
Etc.)
As
I
described
what
we
did,
Helga
got
very
serious
and
told
me
that
she
admired
me
for
that.
She
told
me
a
story
about
the
last
time
she
had
flown.
She
was
on
the
way
to
Arizona
because
she
had
gotten
sudden
news
that
her
dad's
health
was
on
the
decline.
Later
her
father's
physician
called
to
inform
her
that
her
dad
had
rather
suddenly
passed
away.
For
the
3?hour
plane
ride,
she
sat
in
silence
around
strangers.
When
she
arrived
at
the
airport
in
Arizona,
she
walked
to
the
nearest
wall,
sat
down,
and
cried.
And
here
is
the
part
I'll
never
forget
about
Helga's
story.
For
2
hours
she
sat
and
wept
while
thousands
walked
to
and
fro
in
the
airport.
Helga
looked
at
me
and
said,
“Houston,
not
a
single
person
stopped
and
asked
if
I
was
okay
that
day.”
It
was
that
day
that
I
realized
how
much
we
need
each
other.
It
was
that
day
I
realized
that
kindness
isn't
normal.
Kindness
isn't
normal.
That
has
stuck
with
me
all
these
years
especially
now.
I
work
in
schools
nationwide
speaking
about
sympathy,
kindness,
empathy
(同理心)
and
love.
I'm
reminded
all
the
time
that,
for
many
of
us,
kindness
is
not
usually
our
default_setting.
We
spend
so
much
time
worrying
about
our
problems,
our
lives,
our
insecurities,
getting
to
our
flight
so
we
walk
by
or
ignore
people
in
need
of
help.
So,
I've
made
it
my
mission
to
do
my
part
in
sharing
stories
with
students,
teachers,
and
parents
about
our
need
for
character
and
sympathy.
I'll
always
be
on
the
lookout
for
the
little
opportunities
that
surround
me
every
day
to
do
something
nice.

and
set
up
a
connected
network
of
women
in
maths
and
science.
The
first
group
of
30
female
PhD
students
started
in
August
this
year,
and
the
second
group
of
19
early?career
researchers
was
formally
announced
yesterday.
Over
the
12
months,
the
champions
complete
at
least
20
hours
of
related
activities
as
part
of
a
community
of
representatives
who
will
influence
and
inspire
women
to
pursue
a
career
in
maths
and
science.
The
activities
are
varied,
ranging
from
visiting
schools
and
conducting
science
presentations,
to
attending
conferences
and
creating
content
for
social
media.
At
the
end
of
the
program,
PhD
champions
have
the
chance
to
apply
everything
they've
learned
to
the
Postgraduate
Research
Competition.
Above
all,
participating
is
a
requirement
for
program
completion.
Rose
O'Dea,
a
member
of
the
first
group,
is
a
PhD
candidate
at
the
School
of
Biological,
Earth
and
Environmental
Sciences.
She
said,
“I'm
excited
about
the
opportunity
to
work
with
school
children.
I
hope
to
inspire
some
girls
so
they
see
not
all
scientists
are
older
men
in
laboratories
and
that
science
is
quite
diverse
and
means
different
things
depending
on
who
you
are.”

Mayer
Pinto
is
an
early?career
researcher
at
the
School
of
Biological,
Earth
and
Environmental
Sciences,
where

works
with
marine
(海洋的)
ecologists.
She
is
originally
from

and
said
that
being
a
woman
from
a
developing
country
meant
she
knew
the
struggles
that
lack
of
role
models
can
create.
“You
can't
be
what
you
can't
see!
I
always
have
the
hope
that
I
can
change
the
world
bit
by
bit,
and
if
one
little

says
she
can
become
a
scientist
because
I

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Babies
have
the
charm
to
melt
anybody's
heart
instantly;
no
one
escapes
the
twinkling
eyes
or
the
innocent
smile.
Just
their
presence
will
cheer
you
up,
make
you
forget
your
worries
and
tempt
you
to
indulge
into
their
world.
__36__
Though
I
don't
have
any
answer
to
the
question,
I
wonder
as
to
what
makes
their
aura
so
desirable.
And
I
think
there
is
something
we
can
learn
from
the
young
ones.
Forgive
and
Forget
Babies
can
laugh
and
giggle
all
day
because
they
don't
keep
hatred
against
anyone.
__37__
Do
you
think
they've
constructed
an
evil
plan
against
you
because
you
refused
them
candy
last
time?
Probably
not,
life
moved
on
and
so
did
they.
So
why
do
we
hold
on
to
our
past
and
refuse
to
let
go
of
the
emotional
baggage?
Does
it
do
us
any
good
except
prevent
us
from
laughing
to
the
fullest?
__38__
Endless
questions
of
young
kids
can
sometimes
be
enough
to
drain
the
adult
mind.
They
are
always
busy
wondering
how
things
work
or
why
things
are
the
way
they
are,
leaving
no
room
for
boredom.
Their
curiosity
gives
them
an
exponential
learning
curve;
they
pick
up
new
things
quickly
and
do
not
refuse
to
change.
Unconditional
Love
__39__
They
don't
judge
you
before
they
come
running
into
your
knees
and
they
don't
walk
away
if
you
don't
give
them
the
same
in
return.
They
have
no
expectations
from
you
and
simply
do
what
their
heart
desires.
If
you
want
a
hug,
they'll
give
you
a
hug;
if
you
want
two,
they'll
give
you
two.
So
how
does
the
adult
world
become
so
materialistic
that
we
decide
what
we
give
based
on
what
we
think
we
might
receive?
Living
life
to
the
fullest
is
not
a
difficult
task;
you
just
need
to
have
the
right
attitude
and
an
open
mind.
__40__
A
Keep
Smile
Every
Day
B.Never?ending
Curiosity
C.What
can
we
do
to
free
from
these
worries?
D.Why
do
we
adore
the
young
ones
so
much?
E.So
don't
envy
the
peaceful
life
of
a
baby,
start
living
it
yourself!
F.Kids
have
a
hug
and
a
kiss
for
anyone
and
everyone
who
wants
one.
G.Their
heart
is
pure
and
their
mind
empty
to
laugh
out
loud
and
enjoy
the
moment.
本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了我们应该从童真的孩子那里学到什么。婴儿有一种魔力,可以瞬间融化任何人的心,没有人能逃过那闪烁的眼睛和天真的微笑。他们的存在会让你开心,让你忘记烦恼,让你沉浸在他们的世界里。充实地生活并非难事,你只需要有正确的态度和开放的思想。
36.D 解析:下文提示“虽然我对这个问题没有任何答案,但我想知道是什么让他们的光环如此诱人。”可知上句应该是一个问句,所以在C和D中选。再根据下文中的desirable“诱人的,令人向往的”,推知,D项Why
do
we
adore
the
young
ones
so
much?(为什么我们如此崇拜婴儿?)切题。故选D。
37.G 解析:上文提示“婴儿可以整天咯咯地笑,因为他们不憎恨任何人。”承接上文,G项Their
heart
is
pure
and
their
mind
empty
to
laugh
out
loud
and
enjoy
the
moment.(他们的心是纯洁的,他们的头脑是空的,他们大声笑出来,享受这一刻。)切题。故选G。
38.B 解析:此空是小标题。根据下文提示“孩子们没完没了的问题有时足以耗尽成年人的精力”和“Their
curiosity”,可知,B项
Never?ending
Curiosity(永无休止的好奇心)切题。故选B。
39.F 解析:本段标题Unconditional
Love“无条件的爱”。再根据空格下文提示“他们跪向你时不会对你评头论足,如果你不给他们回应的话,他们也不会离开。”承接下文和小标题,F项Kids
have
a
hug
and
a
kiss
for
anyone
and
everyone
who
wants
one.(孩子们会给任何想要拥抱和亲吻的人一个拥抱和一个亲吻。)切题。故选F。
40.E 解析:上文提示“充实地生活并非难事;你只需要有正确的态度和开放的思想。”承接上文,E项So
don't
envy
the
peaceful
life
of
a
baby,
start
living
it
yourself!(所以,不要羡慕婴儿平静的生活,你应该亲自去实践!)切题。故选E。

Hunter
Shamatt
lost
his
wallet

flight

to
Denver
earlier
this
month.

realizing
that
his

he
__41__
the
airline
to
see
if
anyone
had
turned
it
in
—
but
fruitlessly.
__42__the
wallet
contained
his
ID,
a
signed
paycheck,
$60
in
cash
,
etc,
he
feared
the
worst.
Two
days
after
the
flight,
however,
Hunter
was
__43__
to
receive
a
package
in
the
mail
from
an
anonymous
(匿名的)
sender.
Inside
was
his
wallet
—
__44__
an
additional
$40
in
cash.
“I
rounded
your
cash
up
to
an
even
$100
so
you
could
celebrate
the__45__of
your
wallet.”read
a
letter
that
was
enclosed
with
the
package.
Hunter's
mother,
Jeannie,
posted
a
photo
of
the
__46__
to
social
media
in
hopes
that
they
would
be
able
to
track
down
the
sender.
All
they
had
to
go
on
was
that
the
letter
was
__47__
from
Applied
Underwriters
in
Omaha
and
the
sender's
initials
were
signed
“T.B.”
The
sender
was
later
__48__
as
Todd
Brown,
who
was
delighted
to
“have
a
little
fun”
with
helping
out
a
hard?working
stranger.
“I
saw
he
was
just
a
kid,
20
years
old.
He
had
a
paycheck
in
there,
so
I
__49__,‘Well,
he's
doing
his
best
to
make
ends
meet.’
”
said
Brown.
“Hunter
was
very
__50__.
He
told
me
he
has
some
student
loans
to
pay
within
two
days
so
the
__51__
was
right,”Brown
added,
“He
__52__
it
was
gone
forever.
So
when
he
opened
it,
he
just
started
screaming,
‘No
way!
No
way!’”
Brown
says
that
he
often
tries
to
do
good
things
without
any
recognition;
that's
why
he
didn't
sign
his
__53__
on
the
letter,
but
Jeannie
later
insisted
on
__54__
him
on
social
media.
Jeannie
wrote
on
Facebook,“This
story
is
more
about
rebuilding
__55__
in
people
than
anything.”

本文是一则新闻报道。无声杀手——空气污染每年导致700万人过早死亡,不仅在发展中国家,在英国和美国也是如此。最新研究表明,我们接触空气污染的时间越长,我们为以后的生活积累的问题就越多。
56.deaths
解析:考查名词复数。句意:无声杀手——空气污染每年导致700万人过早死亡,不仅在发展中国家,在英国和美国也是如此。此处death“死亡的人数”,是可数名词,结合句意可知此处用复数形式,故答案为deaths。
57.developing
解析:考查形容词。句意:无声杀手——空气污染每年导致700万人过早死亡,不仅在发展中国家,在英国和美国也是如此。此处是“发展中的”,是形容词作定语修饰后面的名词,故答案为developing。
58.it
解析:考查it的用法。句意:我不喜欢空气不好的时候。此处it是人称代词作宾语,代指后面when引导的时间状语从句的内容,故答案为it。
59.performance
解析:考查名词。句意:我认为这确实会影响我的工作表现。此处my是形容词性物主代词,修饰名词,故答案为performance。
60.were_tested
解析:考查一般过去时态的被动语态。句意:在这项研究中,去年对中国各地的2.5万人进行了语言和数学技能测试。此处句子主语people,集体名词,和谓语动词test之间是一种被动关系,再根据last
year,是过去的事情,所以句子用一般过去时态的被动语态,故答案为were
tested。
61.who
解析:考查定语从句。句意:结果发现那些生活在污染更严重地区的人受到了负面影响,尤其是在语言方面。此处those是先行词,指人,在后面的定语从句中作主语,故答案为who。
62.negatively
解析:考查词性转换。句意:结果发现那些生活在污染更严重地区的人受到了负面影响,尤其是在语言方面。此处impacted是动词,由副词修饰,故答案为negatively。
63.but
解析:考查固定搭配。句意:越来越多的证据表明,空气污染不仅会影响肺部和心脏,还会影响大脑。固定搭配:not
just/only...but(also)“不但……而且……”。故答案为but。
64.more
解析:考查比较级。句意:这项研究表明,我们接触污染的空气时间越长,我们为以后的生活积累的问题就越多。固定结构:the+比较级,the+比较级,“越……,越……”。故答案为more。
65.to_think
解析:考查固定搭配。句意:活动家们希望这项研究能说服英国政府在明年公布其清洁空气战略之前三思。固定搭配:persuade

Dear_Tom,
I'm
delighted
to
learn
that
you
are
interested
in
our
tree?planting
activity.
The
activity
is
held
annually
with
different
themes.
This
year's
theme
is
“Building
a
green
home”.
The
activity
was
held
on
March
12,
our
National
Tree?planting
Day.
Early
in
the
morning,
all
the
teachers
and
students
gathered
on
the
West
Hill,
where
we
spent
the
whole
morning
digging,
planting
and
watering.
Eventually
about
200
trees
were
planted.
Seeing
the
trees
waving
in
the
breeze,
we
all
felt
excited
and
proud
despite
tiredness.
Undoubtedly,
we
benefit
a
lot
from
the
activity,
which
not

brings
us
the
pleasure
of
labor
but
also
helps
us
to
develop

spirit.
Hopefully
you

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
When
I
was
ten
years
old,
I
lived
with
my
family
in
a
small
house
in
rural
South
Jersey.
I
often
accompanied
my
mother
to
the
A
&
P
to
buy
groceries.
Without
a
car,
we
walked,
and
I
would
help
her
carry
the
bags.
My
mother
had
to
shop
very
carefully,
as
she
was
a
waitress,
and
her
salary
barely
sustained
(勉强维持)
us.
One
day,
while
she
was
weighing
prices,
a
promotional
display
for
the
World
Book
Encyclopedia
caught
my
eye.
The
volumes
were
beautifully
cream?colored.
Volume
I
was
ninety?nine
cents
with
a
ten?dollar
purchase.
All
I
could
think
of
while
shopping
was
the
book.
I
stood
at
the
register
(收银台)
with
my
mother,
holding
my
breath
as
the
cashier
rang
up
the
items.
It
came
to
over
eleven
dollars.
My
mother
produced
a
five,
sonic
singles,
and
a
handful
of
change.
As
she
was
counting
out
the
money,
I
somehow
found
the
courage
to
ask
for
the
encyclopedia
(百科全书).
“Could
we
get
one?”
I
said,
showing
her
the
display.
“It's
only
ninety?nine
cents.”
I
did
not
understand
my
mother's
increasing
anxiety;
she
did
not
have
enough
change
and
had
to
sacrifice
a
large
can
of
peas
to
pay
the
amount,
“Not
now,
Patricia,”
she
said
sternly.
“Today
is
not
a
good
day.”
I
packed
the
groceries
and
followed
her
home,
upset.
The
next
Saturday,
my
mother
gave
me
a
dollar
and
sent
me
to
the
A
&
P
alone.
Two
quarts
of
milk
and
a
loaf
of
bread—that's
what
a
dollar
in
1957.I
went
straight
to
the
World
Book
display.
There
was
only
one
first
volume
left,
which
I
placed
in
my
cart
(购物车).
I
didn't
need
a
cart,
but
took
one
so
I
could
read
as
I
went
up
and
down
the
aisles.
A
lot
of
time
went
by
and
I
knew
I
had
to
leave,
but
I
couldn't
bear
to
part
with
the
book.
With
no
detective
in
sight,
I,
impulsively
(冲动地),
put
it
inside
my
shirt
and
zipped
up
my
jacket.
I
was
a
tall,
skinny
kid,
and
I
am
certain
the
shape
of
the
book
was
obvious.
答案
Paragraph
1:
My
heart
beating
rapidly,
I
headed
for
the
register.
I
paid
the
dollar
for
the
three
items
and
was
about
to
leave
when
I
felt
a
heavy
tap
on
my
shoulder.
It
was
a
big
detective.
“You
stole
something.
You
will
be
searched,”
he
announced.
Horrified,
I
slid
the
book
out
from
inside
the
shirt
and
handed
it
over.
“An
encyclopedia?”he
asked,
somewhat
surprised.
“Yes,”
I
whispered,
trembling.
“Why
didn't
you
ask
your
parents
to
purchase
it?”
“I
did,
but
they
didn't
have
the
money.”
With
a
sigh,
he
made
me
promise
to
tell
my
parents
about
my
wrongdoing
and
then
let
me
leave.
Paragraph
2:
Back
home,
I
told
my
mother
what
I
had
promised
the
detective.
Unexpectedly,
she
didn't
explode
as
usual.
She
fell
silent,
looking
extremely
anxious.
Consumed
with
guilt,
I
gathered
my
courage,
apologized
and
promised
that
it
would
never
happen
again.
“All
will
be
OK!”
said
my
mother,
wrapping
me
in
her
arms.
Then
she
told
me
that
she
would
go
to
the
A
&
P
to
tell
the
detective
I
had
admitted
and
that
I
should
play
outside.
Hours
later,
when
I
was
back
home,
I
noticed
a
bag
with
my
name
on
it.
I
opened
it
and
packed
inside
was
the
World
Book
Encyclopedia,
volume
I.
