Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
If
you
think
that
Internet
shopping
on
a
Sunday
gets
you
the
best
deals，then
think
again.Tuesday
is
actually
the
best
day
of
the
week
if
you
want
to
grab
a
bargain，according
to
an
exhaustive
analysis
of
on?line
shopping.Thursday
is
the
second
best
day
followed
by
Friday—but
Sunday
is
when
you
are
least
likely
to
make
a
saving.
The
study
also
looked
at
months
and
found
that
the
pre?Christmas
rush
in
November
is
when
there
are
most
bargains
around
on
the
web—and
not
the
January
sales.US
retailer(零售商)
reporting
service
Sum
All
examined
3，000
companies
and
half
a
billion
transactions(交易)
as
part
of
its
report.It
worked
out
the
average
discount(折扣)
offered
to
consumers
on
each
day
of
the
week
and
over
different
times
of
the
year.
The
best
day
of
the
week
was
Tuesday
where
savings
were
4.81
percent，followed
by
Thursday
on
4.80
percent.In
third
place
was
Friday
at
4.65
percent，then
Wednesday
at
4.13
percent
and
Monday
at
4.11
percent.Only
the
foolish
would
shop
on
a
Saturday
where
the
discounts
were
typically
3.84
percent—and
Sunday
was
the
worst
with
3.37
percent.
The
analysis
by
month
is
even
more
surprising
as
most
people
think
that
waiting
until
the
post?Christmas
sales
would
yield
the
biggest
discounts.In
fact，November
is
when
you
will
get
the
largest
savings
at
5.99
percent
on
average.January
came
in
second
at
4.95
percent，followed
by
May
at
4.50
percent.
The
worst
month
to
buy
online
was
March
where
you
could
expect
to
save
just
2.76
percent.Consumers
and
experts
have
been
speculating
for
years
about
the
best
time
to
shop
online.
Booking
a
flight
has
almost
become
a
science
with
some
claiming
that
buying
six
weeks
before
you
travel
guarantees
you
the
best
price.However，a
recent
analysis
by
the
US
Airlines
Reporting
Commission
found
that
was
not
actually
the
case.
Not
only
did
the
six?week
window
fail
to
pile
up，in
some
cases
the
best
fares
were
on
sale
as
long
as
24
weeks
before
departure.The
ARC
said
that
booking
well
in
advance
is
best
advised
for
busy
routes
or
long
haul
flights(长途航班)，as
the
price
only
tends
to
go
up.

Anaya
Elick
was
born
without
hands—she
has
stubs(残端)where
most
people's
wrists
begin.
To
hold
a
pencil，she
must
balance
it
between
her
wrists，then
use
her
arms
to
push
it
along
the
page.But
that
didn't
stop
her
from
winning
a
national
handwriting
contest
when
she
was
in
first
grade.
In
the
two
years
since，she
has
taken
on
greater
challenges.Last
week，she
won
another
national
handwriting
contest，this
one
for
cursive(草书)．And
by
all
accounts
from
her
teachers
at
Greenbrier
Christian
Academy，she
has
become
an
accomplished
artist.
Anaya
isn't
one
to
boast
about
her
successes.She
unwillingly
says
they
make
her
proud
but
adds
that
they
come
from
“lots
of
practice”．
Her
friends
at
school
said，“She
inspires
everybody
by
what
she
does
and
how
she
does
it”．No
one
wants
child
to
fail，and
raising
one
who
was
born
with
a
disability
can
heighten
that
protective
instinct.Before
Anaya
was
born，doctors
knew
about
her
condition，although
not
its
cause.Other
than
having
no
hands，she
is
a
regular
9?year?old
girl.
“Anaya
succeeds
because
she
is
not
afraid
to
fail”，Middleton
said.The
two
began
practicing
cursive
last
year，when
Anaya
was
in
second
grade.She
struggled
sometimes，because
unlike
traditional
penmanship，which
allows
for
breaks
after
each
letter，cursive
words
are
written
straight
through—and
added
effort
for
someone
who
must
balance
rather
than
hold
the
pencil.
Middleton
could
see
her
daughter
thinking
through
the
challenge，figuring
out
how
she
could
do
better.She'd
get
frustrated
at
times，but
she
never
hesitated
to
do
things
as
often
as
it
took
to
get
them
right.
“I
don't
think
I've
ever
heard
Anaya
say
I
can't
do
something，”
Middleton
said.
That
attitude
carries
over
to
her
other
interests.
Recently，Anaya
and
her
classmates
sat
in
Cheryl
Leader's
art
room，working
on
an
exercise.The
goal
was
to
get
them
thinking
about
different
concepts，like
color
combinations
and
how
an
image
can
be
formed
by
fully
coloring
inside
straight
and
diagonal
lines.
5．How
did
she
make
her
writing?
．
A．by
hand
B．with
her
arms
C．with
her
wrists
D．with
her
mouth
B [细节理解题。从文中第二段“To
hold
a
pencil，she
must
balance
it
between
her
wrists，then
use
her
arms
to
push
it
along
the
page.”可知，她是用她的手臂写作的。故选B。]
6．Why
did
Anaya's
mother
say
being
a
parent
can
be
scary?
A．Because
she
doesn't
want
her
child
to
fail.
B．Because
she
love
her
child
very
much.
C．Because
raising
one
who
was
born
with
a
disability
can
be
a
burden.
D．Because
she
wants
to
protect
her
child
from
failing.
D [推理判断题。从文中第五段“No
one
wants
child
to
fail，and
raising
one
who
was
born
with
a
disability
can
heighten
that
protective
instinct.”可以推断出，因为她想保护她的孩子不受伤害。故选D。]
7．According
to
the
passage，what
kind
of
person
do
you
think
Anaya
is?
A．Brave，hard?working
and
proud.
B．Brave，warm?hearted
and
kind.
C．Brave，diligent
and
modest.
D．Brave，diligent
and
shy.
C [推理判断题。从文中“Anaya
isn't
one
to
boast
about
her
successes.She
unwillingly
says
they
make
her
proud
but
adds
that
they
come
from
‘lots
of
practice’．”可知她谦虚和勤奋。从“‘Anaya
succeeds
because
she
is
not
afraid
to
fail’，Middleton
said.”可知她勇敢。故选C。]
8．What
would
be
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A．Girl
without
hands
inspires
everybody.
B．A
special
artist.
C．Mother
and
daughter.
D．We
can
do
everything
that
we
want.
A [标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了一个无手的女孩历经艰难最终成功并激励他人的故事。故选A。]
Ⅲ.阅读七选五
The
beauty
of
confidence
is
that
it
is
possible
to
learn
it，no
matter
who
you
are!
Follow
these
simple
steps
to
be
confident.
Consider
your
strengths
and
success.
1
When
did
you
help
others?
What
are
you
good
at?
When
have
you
taken
pride
in
yourselves?
What
are
you
working
hard
for?
If
you
have
difficulty
thinking
of
your
strengths
and
success，ask
your
family
member
or
a
close
friend.
Have
goals.
Sitting
around
and
doing
nothing
will
make
you
feel
worse.Start
with
a
small
goal.
2
You'll
get
more
confidence
achieving
a
small
goal.Once
you've
achieved
many
smaller
goals，you
can
set
bigger
goals.
3
Failure
is
the
mother
of
success.When
you
fail，view
it
as
a
learning
experience.Often
we
have
to
fail
on
our
own
to
gain
experience.By
failing，you
have
at
least
taken
a
chance.
Pick
a
role
model.
Pick
a
role
model
that
is
always
confident
and
always
learn
from
them.Study
their
action，their
manners
and
how
they
communicate
with
others.
4
However，it's
a
great
place
to
start.
Smile.
Confident
people
smile
often，and
without
much
reason.
5
It
tells
the
people
around
you
that
you're
comfortable
in
yourself
and
enjoying
your
time.
A．Learn
from
failure.
B．Otherwise，you'll
get
discouraged.
C．Smiling
is
a
friendly
and
open
gesture.
D．After
reaching
a
goal，reward
yourself.
E．Start
projecting
a
more
powerful
you
today.
F．If
possible，write
them
down
so
that
you
can
look
back
at
them
later.
G．Of
course
you
don't
want
to
spend
your
entire
life
copying
someone
else.
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了通过简单的几个步骤使你学会自信。
1．F [根据本段的主旨句Consider
your
strengths
and
success.(考虑你的优势和成功)可知，F项中them指代主旨句中strengths
and
success，且look
back
at
them
later和下文的一系列问题相呼应，句意(如果可能的话，把它们写下来，这样你以后可以回头看)承上启下，故选择F。]
2．B [根据前文和常识可知，此处表示从一个小目标开始，否则你会泄气的，B项承接上文，故选择B项。]
3．A [根据文章结构可知，此处选择段落主旨句。根据空后内容可知，当你失败时，把它看作是一次学习的经历，空后的failure也是选择主旨句的关键词，A项(向失败学习)可以概括本段，故选择A。]
4．G [根据前文(研究行为榜样的行为、举止以及他们如何与他人沟通)可知G选项中的“模仿其他人”和前文相呼应，且句意(当然，你不想一辈子都在模仿别人)承接上下文，故选择G项。]
5．C [根据前文的Smile可知，C项中Smiling和前文内容相呼应，且句意(微笑是友好和开放的姿态)承接上下文，故选择C项。]

Ⅱ.完形填空
Until
a
few
years
ago，I
had
what
most
people
would
call
a
good
life.I
had
a
1
job
that
paid
the
bills；I
had
a
good
family
that
I
was
close
to，and
I
had
a
place
to
live
and
money
in
the
bank
for
trips
and
2
，and
there
was
nothing
much
wrong
in
my
life.However，I
was
bored.
I
wanted
more.I
wanted
to
live
3
and
loudly
and
make
sharp
memories
instead
of
the
grey
ones
of
everyday
life.But
I
was
4
．I
have
never
had
any
confidence
in
myself.As
a
child，even
buying
something
in
a
shop
caused
me
a
great
deal
of
5
，and
even
though
I
did
get
better
as
I
got
older，I
never
quite
6
that
childhood
shyness.
And
I
tried
everything，like
reading
books
about
confidence.I
also
took
tiny
steps
leading
to
my
goals.But
none
of
them
really
7
．
So
I
8
that
the
small
steps
weren't
enough.I
signed
up
for
an
internship
(实习期的工作)
of
teaching
English
in
Vietnam，an
9
huge
step，one
that
terrified
me
as
much
as
it
excited
me.And
then
the
day
came
and
I
left
my
home
and
my
loved
ones.I
was
alone
in
a
country
where
the
food
was
10
and
the
streets
were
unfamiliar.I
had
no
idea
whether
I
would
be
able
to
11
everything
that
this
very
strange
environment
would
12
at
me.
I
spent
five
months
in
Vietnam，teaching，exploring
and
laughing，I'd
learnt
to
13
myself，my
skills，my
abilities
and
my
decisions.I
returned
home
unrecognizable，even
to
myself，let
alone
to
others.The
14
that
had
controlled
my
life
and
the
self?doubt
were
15
．
That
one
big
chance
changed
everything
for
me，and
in
me.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I
am
an
e?mail
user.When
I
first
started
to
use
the
e?mail
system，I
used
to
read
all
my
e?mail.I
didn't
have
much
mail.I
gave
my
friends
my
e?mail
address.Soon
I
had
more
mail
than
I
wanted.Some
of
the
mail
was
junk
mail.I
was
worried.I
didn't
want
my
mail
to
control
me.
I've
tried
some
methods
to
help
me
get
control
of
my
mail.First，I
check
my
mail
at
the
same
time
every
day.Also
I
try
to
allow
myself
only
15～20
minutes
every
day
to
process
my
e?mail.This
doesn't
always
work，but
I
try.Sometimes
I
save
the
messages.Sometimes
I
just
read
them，maybe
answer
a
few，and
then
delete(删除)them.
Sometimes
I'm
not
at
all
interested
in
a
message，so
I
don't
even
open
it.I
delete
it
right
away.This
is
very
much
the
way
I
go
through
the
mail
that
the
postal
service
delivers
to
my
home.
These
methods
are
very
simple.I
have
some
friends
who
are
very
clever
with
computers.From
time
to
time，they
teach
me
new
tricks
for
managing
my
e?mail.I'm
still
amazed
at
what
e?mail
can
do
for
me!
I'm
still
worried，however，about
having
too
much
to
read.

As
Internet
users
become
more
dependent
on
the
Internet
to
store
information，are
people
remember
less?
If
you
know
your
computer
will
save
information，why
store
it
in
your
own
personal
memory，your
brain?
Experts
are
wondering
if
the
Internet
is
changing
what
we
remember
and
how.
In
a
recent
study，Professor
Betsy
Sparrow
conducted
some
experiments.She
and
her
research
team
wanted
to
know
the
Internet
is
changing
memory.In
the
first
experiment，they
gave
people
40
unimportant
facts
to
type
into
a
computer.The
first
group
of
people
understood
that
the
computer
would
save
the
information.The
second
group
understood
that
the
computer
would
not
save
it.Later，the
second
group
remembered
the
information
better.People
in
the
first
group
knew
they
could
find
the
information
again，so
they
did
not
try
to
remember
it.
In
another
experiment，the
researchers
gave
people
facts
to
remember，and
told
them
where
to
find
the
information
on
the
Internet.The
information
was
in
a
specific
computer
folder
(文件夹)．Surprisingly，people
later
remember
the
folder
location
(位置)
better
than
the
facts.When
people
use
the
Internet，they
do
not
remember
the
information.Rather，they
remember
how
to
find
it.This
is
called
“transactive
memory
(交互记忆)”．
According
to
Sparrow，we
are
not
becoming
people
with
poor
memories
as
a
result
of
the
Internet.Instead，computer
users
are
developing
stronger
transactive
memories；that
is，people
are
learning
how
to
organize
huge
quantities
of
information
so
that
they
are
able
to
access
it
at
a
later
date.This
doesn't
mean
we
are
becoming
either
more
or
less
intelligent，but
there
is
no
doubt
that
the
way
we
use
memory
is
changing.
【语篇解读】 文章主要讲的是互联网给人类的记忆带来的影响。互联网使用者越来越依赖互联网来储存信息，人们这样做是否会丧失记忆事物的能力呢？专家怀疑互联网可能正在改变人们的记忆内容和方式。
5．The
passage
begins
with
two
questions
to
．
A．introduce
the
main
topic
B．show
the
author's
attitude
C．describe
how
to
use
the
Internet
D．explain
how
to
store
information
A [写作意图题。根据第一段“Experts
are
wondering
if
the
Internet
is
changing
what
we
remember
and
how.”可知，作者使用两个问句是为了引出要讨论的话题。]
6．What
can
we
learn
about
the
first
experiment?
A．Sparrow's
team
typed
the
information
into
a
computer.
B．The
two
groups
remembered
the
information
equally
well.
C．The
first
group
did
not
try
to
remember
the
formation.
D．The
second
group
did
not
understand
the
information.
C [细节理解题。根据第二段“People
in
the
first
group
knew
they
could
find
the
information
again，so
they
did
not
try
to
remember
it.”可知答案。]
7．In
transactive
memory，people
．
A．keep
the
information
in
mind
B．change
the
quantity
of
information
C．organize
information
like
a
computer
D．remember
how
to
find
the
information
D [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Rather，they
remember
how
to
find
it.This
is
called
“transactive
memory
(交互记忆)”可知，在交互记忆里，人们记得怎样找到信息。]
8．What
is
the
effect
of
the
Internet
according
to
Sparrow's
research?
A．We
are
using
memory
differently.
B．We
are
becoming
more
intelligent.
C．We
have
poorer
memories
than
before.
D．We
need
a
better
way
to
access
information.
A [细节理解题。根据最后一段“but
there
is
no
doubt
that
the
way
we
use
memory
is
changing”可知，互联网对人们的记忆产生的影响是它改变了我们使用记忆力的方式。]
Ⅱ.读后续写
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。
The
event
that
stands
out
in
Tom's
memory
happened
one
morning
when
Tom
was
only
ten
years
old.He
was
at
home
with
his
elder
sister
Jane.Tom
was
doing
his
homework
when
he
heard
raised
voices.At
first
he
thought
nothing
of
it
since
customers
in
the
motorcycle
shop
directly
below
their
flat
often
became
loud，but
he
soon
realized
this
time
it
was
different.
“Quick!
Quick!
Remove
the
motorcycles
from
the
shop.”
someone
shouted.Then
a
thick
burning
smell
filled
the
air.When
Tom
opened
the
front
door
of
their
flat
to
investigate，a
thick
cloud
of
smoke
greeted
him.The
motorcycle
shop
had
caught
fire
and
people
were
running
and
crying.
Jane，who
had
been
playing
the
violin
in
her
room，hurried
to
the
living
room.They
rushed
out
of
the
door
and
along
the
corridor
(走廊)
through
the
smoke.
They
were
heading
towards
the
stairway
at
the
far
end
of
the
corridor
when
Jane
suddenly
stopped
in
her
track.She
turned
around
and
headed
back
the
way
they
came.Tom
had
no
idea
what
she
was
doing，but
he
followed
her.
Jane
had
suddenly
remembered
the
lady
in
her
70s
who
lived
next
door
to
them，who
they
called
Makcik.Jane
began
banging
on
Makcik's
door，but
got
no
answer.As
the
smoke
thickened
around
them，Tom
could
see
many
of
their
neighbors—some
still
in
their
pajamas
(睡衣)—running
for
safety.The
thought
of
fear
crossed
his
mind.
“She
would
have
run
for
safety
like
everyone
else！”
Tom
cried.However，Jane
refused
to
give
up.“I
know
Makcik's
still
inside.”
She
said
she
was
familiar
with
Makcik's
daily
routine
and
was
certain
she
would
still
be
sleeping.She
pounded
against
the
door.“Go
downstairs.Go
now!
Go！”
Paragraph
1：
Tom
noticed
the
flame
(火焰)
was
reaching
up.
Paragraph
2：
Luckily，some
neighbors
passing
by
stopped
and
offered
help.
【参考范文】
Paragraph
1：
Tom
noticed
the
flame
was
reaching
up.Frozen
with
fear，he
stood
rooted
to
the
spot.He
comprehended
the
gravity
of
the
situation
and
held
Jane's
hand
tightly.Both
of
them
were
coughing
and
their
eyes
were
stinging.Time
seemed
to
stand
still，though
they
were
probably
there
for
only
two
or
three
minutes.Tom
begged
Jane
to
run
for
safety
as
quickly
as
possible.Jane
tried
to
shield
her
nose
from
the
choking
smoke
and
shook
her
head.She
kept
pounding
against
the
door.Tom
burst
out
crying.
Paragraph
2：
Luckily，some
neighbors
passing
by
stopped
and
offered
help.A
sense
of
strength
immediately
replaced
the
mounting
fear
and
anxiety
in
Jane's
mind.She
told
them
Ms.Makcik
must
be
still
in
the
room.They
forced
the
door
open
with
all
their
might.Sure
enough，Makcik
was
lying
in
bed，unconscious.She
was
carried
downstairs
and
then
rushed
to
the
hospital，where
she
finally
came
to
herself.People
in
the
neighborhood
felt
relieved
and
Jane
and
Tom
were
very
happy.
