阅读理解
A
Zachariah
Fike
has
an
unusual
hobby.
He
finds
old
military(军队的)medals
for
sale
in
antique
stores
and
on
the
Internet.
But
unlike
most
collectors,
Zac
tracks
down
the
medals'
rightful
owners,
and
returns
them.
His
effort
to
reunite
families
with
lost
medals
began
with
a
Christmas
gift
from
his
mother,
a
Purple
Heart
with
the
name
Corrado
AG
Piccoli,
found
in
an
antique
shop.
Zac
knows
the
meaning
of
a
Purple
Heart—he
earned
one
himself
in
a
war
as
a
soldier.
So
when
his
mother
gave
him
the
medal,
he
knew
right
away
what
he
had
to
do.
Through
the
Internet,
Zac
tracked
down
Corrado's
sister
Adeline
Rockko.
But
when
he
finally
reached
her,
the
woman
flooded
him
with
questions:
“Who
are
you？What
antique
shop？”
However,
when
she
hung
up,
she
regretted
the
way
she
had
handled
the
call.
So
she
called
Zac
back
and
apologized.
Soon
she
drove
to
meet
Zac
in
Watertown,
NY
“At
that
point,
I
knew
she
meant
business,
”
Zac
says.
“To
drive
eight
hours
to
come
to
see
me.”
The
Piccolis
grew
up
the
children
of
Italian
immigrants
in
Watertown.
Corrado,
a
translator
for
the
Army
during
WWII,
was
killed
in
action
in
Europe.
Before
hearing
from
Zac,
Adeline
hadn't
realized
the
medal
was
missing.
Like
many
military
medals,
the
one
Zac's
mother
had
found
was
a
family
treasure.
“This
medal
was
very
precious
to
my
parents.
Only
on
special
occasions
(场合)
would
they
take
it
out
and
let
us
hold
it
in
our
hands，”
Adeline
says.
As
a
child,
Adeline
couldn't
understand
why
the
medal
was
so
significant.
“But
as
I
grew
older，”
Adeline
says,
“and
missed
my
brother
more
and
more,
I
realized
that
was
the
only
thing
we
had
left.”
Corrado
Piccoli's
Purple
Heart
medal
now
hangs
at
the
Italian
American
Civic
Association
in
Watertown.
Zac
recently
returned
another
lost
medal
to
a
family
in
Alabama.
Since
he
first
reunited
Corrado's
medal,
Zac
says
his
record
is
now
5
for
5.
这是一篇记叙文。Zachariah
Fike有一个不同寻常的业余爱好：他在网上和古董店里寻找旧的军队勋章，然后将这些勋章归还给它们的合法主人。
1．Where
did
Zac
get
a
Purple
Heart
medal
for
himself?
A．In
the
army.
B．In
an
antique
shop.
C．From
his
mother.
D．From
Adeline
Rockko.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Zac
knows
the
meaning
of
a
Purple
Heart—he
earned
one
himself
in
a
war
as
a
soldier”可知，当Zac还是一名士兵的时候，在一次战争中他获得了一枚Purple
Heart。故A选项正确。
答案：A
2．What
did
Zac
realize
when
Adeline
drove
to
meet
him?
A．She
was
very
impolite.
B．She
was
serious
about
the
medal.
C．She
suspected
his
honesty.
D．She
came
from
a
wealthy
family.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“To
drive
eight
hours
to
come
to
see
me”可推知，Adeline很在意这枚勋章。故B选项正确。
答案：B
3．What
made
Adeline
treasure
the
Purple
Heart?
A．Her
parents'
advice.
B．Her
knowledge
of
antiques.
C．Her
childhood
dream.
D．Her
memory
of
her
brother.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Corrado,
a
translator...was
killed
in
action
in
Europe”和倒数第二段中的“as
I
grew
older...and
missed
my
brother
more
and
more,
I
realized
that
was
the
only
thing
we
had
left”可知，这枚勋章寄托了Adeline对于去世的哥哥Corrado的回忆和思念，这是他们家留下的唯一关于哥哥的东西了。因此她很珍惜这枚勋章。故D选项正确。
答案：D
B
Tristan
da
Cunha,
a
38?square?mile
island,
is
the
farthest
inhabited
island
in
the
world,
according
to
the
Guinness
Book
of
Records.
It
is
1,510
miles
southwest
of
its
nearest
neighbor,
St
Helena,
and
1,950
miles
west
of
Africa.
Discovered
by
the
Portuguese
admiral(葡萄牙海军上将)of
the
same
name
in
1506
and
settled
in
1810,
the
island
belongs
to
Great
Britain
and
has
a
population
of
a
few
hundred.
Coming
in
a
close
second—and
often
wrongly
mentioned
as
the
most
distant
island—is
Easter
Island
which
lies
1,260
miles
east
of
its
nearest
neighbor—Pitcairn
Island,
and
2,300
miles
west
of
South
America.
The
mountainous
64?square?mile
island
was
settled
around
the
5th
century,
supposedly,
by
people
who
were
lost
at
sea.
They
had
no
connection
with
the
outside
world
for
more
than
a
thousand
years,
giving
them
plenty
of
time
to
build
more
than
1,000
huge
stone
figures,
called
moai,
for
which
the
island
is
most
famous.
On
Easter
Sunday,
1722,
however,
settlers
from
Holland
moved
in
and
gave
the
island
its
name.
Today,
2,000
people
live
on
the
Chilean
territory(智利领土).
They
share
one
street,
a
small
airport
and
a
few
hours
of
television
per
day.
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Tristan
da
Cunha，它是一个38平方英里的岛屿，是世界上最遥远的岛屿。
4．It

learned
from
the
text
that
the
island
of
Tristan
da
Cunha
________.
A．was
named
after
its
discoverer
B．got
its
name
from
Holland
settlers
C．was
named
by
the
British
government
D．got
its
name
from
the
Guinness
Book
of
Records
解析：细节理解题。由第一段第三句“Discovered
by
the
Portuguese
admiral
(葡萄牙海军上将)
of
the
same
name
in
1506...”，可知，这个岛屿名字是以岛屿发现者的名字来命名的。故A为最佳答案。
答案：A
5．Which
of
the
following
is
most
famous
for
moai?
A．Easter
Island.
B．Pitcairn
Island.
C．St
Helena.

of
time
to
build
more
than
1,000
huge
stone

答案：A
6．Which
country
does
Easter
Island
belong
to?
A．Britain.

As
data
and
identity
theft
becomes
more
and
more
common,
the
market
is
growing
for
biometric
(生物测量)
technologies—like
fingerprint
scans—to
keep
others
out
of
private
e?spaces.
At
present,
these
technologies
are
still
expensive,
though.
Researchers
from
Georgia
Tech
say
that
they
have
come
up
with
a
low?cost
device
(装置)
that
gets
around
this
problem:
a
smart
keyboard.
This
smart
keyboard
precisely
measures
the
cadence
(节奏)
with
which
one
types
and
the
pressure
fingers
apply
to
each
key.
The
keyboard
could
offer
a
strong
layer
of
security
by
analyzing
things
like
the
force
of
a
user's
typing
and
the
time
between
key
presses.
These
patterns
are
unique
to
each
person.
Thus,
the
keyboard
can
determine
people's
identities,
and
by
extension,
whether
they
should
be
given
access
to
the
computer
it's
connected
to—regardless
of
whether
someone
gets
the
password
right.
It
also
doesn't
require
a
new
type
of
technology
that
people
aren't
already
familiar
with.
Everybody
uses
a
keyboard
and
everybody
types
differently.
In
a
study
describing
the
technology,
the
researchers
had
100
volunteers
type
the
word
“touch”four
times
using
the
smart
keyboard.
Data
collected
from
the
device
could
be
used
to
recognize
different
participants
based
on
how
they
typed,
with
very
low
error
rates.
The
researchers
say
that
the
keyboard
should
be
pretty
straightforward
to
commercialize
and
is
mostly
made
of
inexpensive,
plastic?like
parts.
The
team
hopes
to
make
it
to
market
in
the
near
future.

Consider
what
good
habit
would
help
you
achieve
that
goal.
Consider
your
motivation.
Once
you
have
identified
your
goal
and
the
new

need
to
achieve
this
goal,
take
some
time
to
consider
your
motivation.
__4__
Good
motivation
can
be
the
difference
between
success
and
failure
in
terms
of
forming
a
new
habit.
So
take
your
time
to
consider
your
motivation.
Give
yourself
time.
Forming
a
new
habit
can
take
a
long
time.
Some
people
can
form
a
new
habit
in
as
little
as
a
few
weeks,
while
other
people
will
take
several
months.
As
you
work
to
form
your
new
habit,
just
keep
in
mind
that
it
may
be
a
while
before
it
comes
true.
__5__
A．Identify
ways
to
achieve
goals.
B．Find
the
habit
you
want
to
form.
C．Good
habits
are
sure
to
make
you
a
success.
D．These
habits
help
contribute
to
their
success.
E．Figure
out
exactly
what
you
hope
to
achieve.
F．Try
to
be
patient
with
yourself
as
you
form
your
new
habit.
G．Your
motivation
is
the
reason
you
want
to
form
this
new
habit.
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了养成良好的习惯的方法。
1．D 解析：根据上文The
most
successful
people
all
have
certain
habits
in
their
daily
routines.(最成功的人在日常生活中都有一定的习惯。)中“certain
habits”和“The
most
successful
people”可对应到选项D中的“These
habits”和“their
success”，故D项“这些习惯有助于促成他们的成功”符合语境。故选D。
2．E 解析：根据本段的主题句“Set
your
goal(设定目标)”，与上文Before
you
can
begin
to
work
on
your
new
habit,
it
is
worthwhile
to
consider
your
goal.(在你开始培养新习惯之前，有必要考虑一下你的目标。)中的“consider
your
goal”可知，此处讲的应是要弄清楚自己的目标是什么，故E项“弄清楚你究竟希望实现什么”符合语境。故选E。
3．B 解析：通读第三段可知，主要讲与目标一致的好习惯能提高你实现自己的目标的可能性。再结合该段中的“After
you
have
set
your
goal
and
worked
out
all
of
the
specifics
(细节)
of
achieving
that
goal,
find
a
habit
that
is
part
of
achieving
that
goal.(在你设定了目标，并制定了实现目标的所有细节之后，养成一个习惯，这也是实现目标的一部分。)”可知，B项“找到你想养成的习惯”最能概括本段的主题。故选B。
4．G 解析：根据该段的主题句以及空前的“take
some
time
to
consider
your
motivation(花点时间考虑你的动机)”以及空后的“Good
motivation
can
be
the
difference
between
success
and
failure
in
terms
of
forming
a
new
habit.(在形成新习惯方面，良好的动机可能是成功和失败的区别。)”可知，本段的中心内容涉及“动机”，故G项“Your
motivation
is
the
reason
you
want
to
form
this
new
habit(你的动机是你想要养成这个新习惯的原因)”符合语境。故选G。
5．F 解析：根据本段的主题句“Give
yourself
time(给自己一点时间)”以及上文As
you
work
to
form
your
new
habit,
just
keep
in
mind
that
it
may
be
a
while
before
it
comes
true.(当你努力养成新习惯时，请记住，这可能需要一段时间才能实现。)可知，良好的习惯不是一朝一夕就能养成的，它需要时间，因此在养成良好习惯的过程中要对自己有耐心，故选F项。Unit

I

Ⅱ.阅读理解
That
people
often
experience
trouble
sleeping
in
a
different
bed
in
unfamiliar
surroundings
is
a
phenomenon
known
as
the
first?night
effect.
If
a
person
stays
in
the
same
room
the
following
night
they
tend
to
sleep
more
soundly.
Yuka
Sasaki
and
her
colleagues
at
Brown
University
set
out
to
investigate
the
origins
of
this
effect.
Dr
Sasaki
knew
the
first?night
effect
probably
has
something
to
do
with
how
humans
evolved.
The
puzzle
was
what
benefit
would
be
gained
from
it
when
performance
might
be
affected
the
following
day.
She
also
knew
from
previous
work
conducted
on
birds
and
dolphins
that
these
animals
put
half
of
their
brains
to
sleep
at
a
time
so
that
they
can
rest
while
remaining
alert
enough
to
avoid
predators
(捕食者).
This
led
her
to
wonder
if
people
might
be
doing
the
same
thing.
To
take
a
closer
look,
her
team
studied
35
healthy
people
as
they
slept
in
the
unfamiliar
environment
of
the
university's
Department
of
Psychological
Sciences.
The
participants
each
slept
in
the
department
for
two
nights
and
were
carefully
monitored
with
techniques
that
looked
at
the
activity
of
their
brains.
Dr
Sasaki
found,
as
expected,
the
participants
slept
less
well
on
their
first
night
than
they
did
on
their
second,
taking
more
than
twice
as
long
to
fall
asleep
and
sleeping
less
overall.
During
deep
sleep,
the
participants'
brains
behaved
in
a
similar
manner
seen
in
birds
and
dolphins.
On
the
first
night
only,
the
left
hemispheres
(半球)
of
their
brains
did
not
sleep
nearly
as
deeply
as
their
right
hemispheres
did.
Curious
if
the
left
hemispheres
were
indeed
remaining
awake
to
process
information
detected
in
the
surrounding
environment,
Dr
Sasaki
re?ran
the
experiment
while
presenting
the
sleeping
participants
with
a
mix
of
regularly
timed
beeps
(蜂鸣声)
of
the
same
tone
and
irregular
beeps
of
a
different
tone
during
the
night.
She
worked
out
that,
if
the
left
hemisphere
was
staying
alert
to
keep
guard
in
a
strange
environment,
then
it
would
react
to
the
irregular
beeps
by
stirring
people
from
sleep
and
would
ignore
the
regularly
timed
ones.
This
is
precisely
what
she
found.
这篇文章的主题和睡眠环境有关，在一个陌生的环境里，人们睡在陌生的床上通常会无法入眠，心理学家们将这种现象称之为“初夜”效应。本文围绕着睡眠环境和研究者的调查内容与结论展开叙述。
1．What
do
we
learn
about
Dr
Yuka
Sasaki
doing
her
research?
A．She
found
birds
and
dolphins
remain
alert
while
asleep.
B．She
found
birds
and
dolphins
sleep
in
much
the
same
way.
C．She
got
some
idea
from
previous
studies
on
birds
and
dolphins.
D．She
conducted
studies
on
birds'
and
dolphins'
sleeping
patterns.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段She
also
knew
from
previous
work
conducted
on
birds
and
dolphins
that
these
animals
put
half
of
their
brains
to
sleep
at
a
time
so
that
they
can
rest
while
remaining
alert
enough
to
avoid
predators
(捕食者).
This
led
her
to
wonder
if
people
might
be
doing
the
same
thing.
Dr
Yuka
Sasaki从先前对鸟类和海豚的实验中知道动物在睡觉时左半侧大脑远没有右半侧大脑睡得深，这样可以使它们在休息时保持对捕食者的警惕，表明动物在睡眠状态时的大脑活动是不对称的，Sasaki好奇人类情况是否类似。可以得知对人类睡眠实验的想法来源于之前对鸟和海豚做的实验。故选C。
答案：C
2．What
did
Dr
Sasaki
do
when
she
first
did
her
experiment?
A．She
monitored
the
brain
activity
of
participants
sleeping
in
a
new
environment.
B．She
recruited
(招募)
35
participants
from
her
Department
of
Psychological
Sciences.
C．She
studied
the
differences
between
the
two
sides
of
participants'
brains.
D．She
tested
her
findings
about
birds
and
dolphins
on
human
subjects.
解析：细节理解题。该题定位句是第三段“The
participants
each
slept
in
the
department
for
two
nights
and
were
carefully
monitored
with
techniques
that
looked
at
the
activity
of
their
brains.”这句话提到实验的参加者在心理科学系睡了两晚并且大脑活动受到监测。故选A。
答案：A
3．What
did
Dr
Sasaki
do
when
re?running
her
experiment?
A．She
analyzed
the
negative
effect
of
irregular
tones
on
brains.
B．She
recorded
participants'
adaptation
to
changed
environment.
C．She
exposed
her
participants
to
two
different
stimuli
(刺激物)．
D．She
compared
the
responses
of
different
participants.
解析：细节理解题。该题定位句是最后一段“Dr
Sasaki
re?ran
the
experiment
while
presenting
the
sleeping
participants
with
a
mix
of
regularly
timed
beeps
(蜂鸣声)
of
the
same
tone
and
irregular
beeps
of
a
different
tone
during
the
night.”。这句话提到Sasaki博士重新进行了一次实验，他让睡眠中的参加者听了两种声音，分别是“mix
of
regularly
timed
beeps
(蜂鸣声)
of
the
same
tone”(定时响起音调不变的哔哔声)和“irregular
beeps
of
a
different
tone”(随机响起音调各异的哔哔声)。故选C。
答案：C
4．What
did
Dr
Sasaki
find
about
the
participants
in
her
experiment?
A．They
tended
to
enjoy
certain
tones
more
than
others.
B．They
tended
to
recognize
irregular
beeps
as
a
threat.
C．They
felt
sleepy
when
exposed
to
regular
beeps.
D．They
differed
in
their
tolerance
of
irregular
tones.
解析：细节理解题。该题定位句是最后一段She
worked
out
that,
if
the
left
hemisphere
was
staying
alert
to
keep
guard
in
a
strange
environment,
then
it
would
react
to
the
irregular
beeps
by
stirring
people
from
sleep
and
would
ignore
the
regularly
timed
ones.
This
is
precisely
what
she
found.得知Sasaki博士在实验中发现当人们在陌生环境中睡觉时，左半侧大脑保持清醒以警惕陌生环境，对随机发出的哔哔声有所反应将人们从睡眠中叫醒，并且同时会忽略定时发出的哔哔声。可以推断出人们会把随机发出的哔哔声视作一个威胁。故选B。
答案：B
Ⅲ.概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
If
you
haven't
seen
alpaca
meat
(羊驼肉)
on
the
menu
yet,
chances
are
you
soon
will.
It
is
rising
in
popularity;
about
70
restaurants
across
Australia
feature
the
meat
in
their
dishes.
Among
them
is
Melbourne
restaurant
Pastuso,
whose
head
chef
appeared
in
a
video
by
the
Australian
Alpaca
Association
to
discuss
how
people
have
liked
the
dish.
Alejandro
Saravia,
a
Peruvian
cook
at
Pastuso,
described
the
taste
as
similar
to
beef.
“Alpaca
meat
has
been
very
well
enjoyed
by
the
Australian
public，”
he
said
in
the
video.
Famous
cook
Matt
Moran,
who
owns
some
of
Sydney's
leading
restaurants,
wrote
an
article
for
The
Daily
Telegraph
to
discuss
his
experience
of
cooking
alpaca
meat.
Moran
said
he
had
never
tried
the
meat
until
he
visited
an
alpaca
farm,
and
described
the
flavour
as
“very
tasty”，
especially
the
meat
from
the
neck.
Alpaca
meat
has
also
starred
in
dishes
at
the
Melbourne
Food
and
Wine
Festival,
with
The
Age
reporting
in
2013
about
20
Australian
restaurants
served
the
meat,
a
number
which
has
grown
quickly
since.
Melbourne
restaurant
San
Telmo's
head
cook
Mike
Patrick
researched
an
alpaca
dish,
and
said
the
response
was
mixed.
“It
was
50/50:
some
people
said
‘oh
wow—what
are
you
cooking
that
for?
No
thank
you'
and
others
thought
‘this
is
really
cool
and
something
different
and
I
want
to
have
a
try'.
The
people
who
tried
it
loved
it.
It's
a
point
of
difference
and
people
like
that.”
In
Australia
alpacas
are
farmed
mainly
for
their
fur,
but
the
Australian
Alpaca
Association
website
said
farming
alpacas
for
meat
is
a
growing
industry.
Alpaca
meat
is
a
good
source
of
protein
with
little
saturated
fat
and
cholesterol
(胆固醇);
it
is
also
environmentally
friendly
when
people
feed
them.
Alpacas
are
able
to
stand
dry
conditions
for
longer
than
most
other
animals,
and
their
soft
feet
cause
little
damage
to
the
soil
and
ecosystem.

Ⅲ.七选五
How
to
Welcome
Change
in
Your
Life
Do
you
embrace
(欣然接受)
the
road
you
are
now
on
or
resist
and
avoid
change
at
all
costs
when
a
recent
event
has
shaken
you
greatly?
Here
are
things
you
can
do
in
the
midst
of
uncertainty
to
choose
differently
to
change
the
track
of
your
life.
Don't
react.
What
do
we
do
when
we
don't
know
what
to
do?
First,
stop,
take
a
deep
breath
and
don't
do
anything.
__1__
It
is
having
faith
and
trusting
what
you
do
know
in
the
unknown.
Reflect
on
the
past.
Another
activity
is
to
recall
times
in
your
life
when
you
were
faced
with
an
unknown.
Then,
think
about
how
you
handled
the
situation.
__2__
Use
your
past
experiences
to
bring
you
strength,
and
to
remain
you
what
you
are
capable
of.
Make
conscious
decisions.
__3__
However,
more
possibilities
open
up
when
we
are
at
peace.
Go
over
your
list
of
what
ifs
and
make
a
more
balanced
list
of
the
best
and
worst
situations
possible.
Then
talk
to
loved
ones
about
what
you
would
do
in
each
situation
and
the
choices
you
do
have.
__4__
We
often
see
fears
as
our
greatest
enemy,
yet
they
provide
us
with
an
enormous
opportunity
for
self?growth.
What
if
we
were
to
see
them
as
friends
who
want
to
help
us
become
a
better
person?
Let
your
fears
help
you
instead
of
hurting
you.
Then,
write
down
what
comes
to
you.
__5__.
A．Don't
panic.
B．Befriend
your
fears.
C．You
may
be
surprised
by
the
answers.
D．When
we
are
fearful,
our
options
seem
limited.
E．Then
try
to
feel
at
ease
with
the
state
of
“not
knowing”．
F．Learning
from
past
failures
helps
you
make
better
decisions.
G．Remembering
these
incidents
will
remind
you
that
you've
gone
through
difficult
situations.
本文主要讲述的内容是关于迎接生活新变化的做法。
1．E 解析：根据上文：首先，停下来，深呼吸，不要做任何事情。所以接下来应该是：然后试着以“不知道”的状态感到轻松自在。First,
then，首先……，然后……。故选E。
2．G 解析：根据上句：然后，考虑你怎样处理这个境况。再根据空格下句：利用过去的经历带给你力量，保留你的能力。可知此空的意思是：记得这些事情将会提醒你记起你所经历的困境。故选G。
3．D 解析：根据下句：然而，当我们处于和平状态时，可能会有更多的可能性。可知上句的意思是：当我们害怕时，我们的选择似乎是有限的。However在这里是关键词，前后是一种转折关系，故选D。
4．B 解析：此空是一个小标题，应该是一个短小精悍的祈使句，在A/B中选择。再根据下句：我们经常把恐惧看作是我们最大的敌人，然而，它们为我们提供了一个自我成长的巨大机会。fears是关键词，故可知答案为B项，Befriend
your
fears.把恐惧当作朋友对待。
5．C 解析：空格前两句是前面问句的回答：让恐惧帮助你而不是伤害你。然后，写下你的感受。故C项，你可能会对答案感到惊讶，符合语境。故选C。

Dear
Mr
Reyes，
I'm
writing
in
reply
to
your
advertisement
for
volunteers
to
teach
sports
at
a
middle
school
in
Tanzania.
I'm
interested
in
working
at
the
school.
I'm
from
Sweden
and
I'm
training
to
be
a
primary
school
teacher
in
Switzerland.
Before
that,
I
was
employed
as
a
sports
shop
manager
for
ten
years,
but
that
was
not
my
first
job.
After
I
graduated,
I
taught
the
staff
in
a
health
club
about
sports
equipment.
I
later
worked
as
a
tennis
coach
at
a
local
tennis
club.
I
believe
I
have
the
right
abilities
for
the
job
because
I'm
friendly,
I
like
children，and
I
can
work
well
in
a
team.
In
addition
to
tennis,
I'm
also
good
at
basketball
and
swimming.I
can
speak
fluent
German,
some
French
and
a
little
Italian.
I'd
really
like
to
do
something
useful
with
my
life,
and
I
also
believe
this
will
be
a
good
opportunity
to
learn
about
other
cultures
and
to
gain
more
experience
in
teaching.
I'm
available
to
attend
an
interview
at
any
time.
Yours
faithfully，
Stefanie
Jucker
第二部分：阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Stephen
Hillenburg
the
US
animator
whose
childhood
summers
on
a
Maine
island
later
inspired
him
to
create
the
famous
cartoon
SpongeBob
SquarePants
(《海绵宝宝》),
passed
away
on
Nov.
26
at
the
age
of
57.
Hillenburg
was
interested
in
the
ocean
as
a
child
and
developed
a
love
for
art.
He
studied
Natural
Resource
Planning
and
Interpretation
at
college,
with
an
emphasis
on
marine
resources.
“It
dawned
on
me
that
if
I
was
going
to
do
a
show
on
animals,
I'd
do
a
show
about
undersea
animals—all
the
ones
that
I'm
interested
in
and
know
a
lot
about，”
Hillenburg
told
Entertainment
Weekly
in
2010.
“I
focused
on
the
sponge
because
it's
one
of
the
more
special
creatures.”
But
although
he
wasn't
sure
whether
people
would
like
a
cartoon
about
the
ocean,
he
stuck
with
it.
“We
just
try
to
make
ourselves
laugh,
then
ask
if
it's
appropriate
for
children，”
Hillenburg
told
The
Associated
Press
in
2001.
“The
essence
(精华)
of
the
show
is
that
SpongeBob
is
an
innocent
in
a
world
of
worldly
characters.”
What
Hillenburg
probably
didn't
expect
was
that
the
adventures
of
this
“innocent”
character
in
his
underwater
hometown
would
be
such
a
success.
There
have
been
nearly
250
episodes
to
date.
It
has
won
several
Emmy
Awards,
and
has
been
shown
in
more
than
60
languages.
SpongeBob
was
popular
because
he
appealed
not
only
10
children
but
to
older
viewers
as
well,
including
college
students,
who
held
viewing
parties
for
the
show.
Children
liked
SpongeBob's
innocence,
teenagers
and
young
adults
loved
the
show's
humor,
while
the
more
mature
enjoyed
it
as
part
of
meme
culture.
But
it
was
above
all
the
character's
innocence
that
attracted
people.
The
show's
most
important
message,
Hillenburg
once
said,
“is
that
innocence
prevails—which
I
don't
think
it
always
does
in
real
life”．
本文是一篇说明文。海伦伯格的教育背景促成了《海绵宝宝》的诞生。海绵宝宝的纯真让海绵宝宝大受欢迎。海伦伯格曾说过，这部剧传达的最重要的信息是“纯真无处不在——我认为在现实生活中并非总是如此”。
21．What
can
we
learn
from
the
passage?
A．Hillenburg

for
children.
B．Hillenburg
was
sure
that
SpongeBob
SquarePants
would
be
a
success
at
first.
C．Hillenburg's
educational
background
contributed
to
SpongeBob
SquarePants.
D．Hillenburg's
childhood
summers
had
nothing
to
do
with
SpongeBob
SquarePants.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第二句He
studied
Natural
Resource
Planning
and...
resources.
可知，海伦伯格所学专业与海洋有关，所以他的教育背景促成了《海绵宝宝》的诞生。故选C。
答案：C
22．What
makes
SpongeBob
SquarePants
popular?
A．It
attracts
children,
adults
and
old
people.
B．It
has
won
Emmy
Awards
for
many
times.
C．It
focuses
on
the
innocence
of
SpongeBob.
D．It
is
about
very
unusual
undersea
creatures.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“The
essence
(精华)
of
the
show
is
that
SpongeBob
is
an
innocent
in
a
world
of
worldly
characters.”可知，海绵宝宝的纯真让海绵宝宝大受欢迎。故选C。
答案：C
23．The
underlined
word
in
the
last
paragraph
can
be
replaced
by
“________”．
A．wins
B．happens
C．counts
D．grows
解析：词义猜测题。根据最后一段The
show's
most
important
message,
Hillenburg
once
said,
“is
that
innocence
prevails—which
I
don't
think
it
always
does
in
real
life”．海伦伯格曾说过，这部剧传达的最重要信息是“纯真无处不在——我认为在现实生活中并非总是如此”。由此推知画线词的意思是“获胜”。故选A。

St
Albans，a
town
about
20
miles
north
of
London.At
age
eleven
Stephen
went
to
St
Albans
School，and
then
went
on
to
Oxford
University,
his
father's
old
college.Stephen
wanted
to
do
mathematics，although
his
father
would
have
preferred
medicine.Mathematics
was
not
available
at
Oxford
University,
so
he
did
physics
instead.After
three
years
and
not
very
much
work
he
was
awarded
a
first?class
degree
in
natural
science.
Stephen
then
went
on
to
Cambridge
to
do
research
in
cosmology
(宇宙学),
because
no
one
worked
in
that
area
in
Oxford
at
that
time.After
gaining
his
PhD,
first
he
became
a
research
fellow，and
later
on
a
professorial
fellow
at
Gonville
and
Caius
College.After
leaving
the
Institute
of
Astronomy
in
1973
Stephen
went
to
the
Department
of
Applied
Mathematics
and
Theoretical
Physics，and
since
1979
he
has
held
the
post
of
professor
of
mathematics，which
was
held
by
Isaac
Newton
in
1663.He
is
a
fellow
of
the
Royal
Society
and
a
member
of
the
US
National
Academy
of
Sciences.
Stephen

is
particularly
interested
in
unifying
the
General
Relativity
Theory
and

答案：C
C
When
we
look
at
a
lovely
baby,
a
puppy
or
a
really
cute
kitten,
many
of
us
want
to
squeeze
it.
Why
is
that?
According
to
a
study
published
in
the
journal
Frontiers
in
Behavioral
Neuroscience,
it's
a
typical
experience
of
“cute
aggression”.
The
experience
results
from
the
fight
between
the
brain's
“emotion
system”，
which
impels
(驱使)
people
to
squeeze
cute
things,
and
its
“reward
system”
which
deals
with
feelings
of
“wanting”．
In
the
study,
54
participants
between
the
ages
of
18
and
40
were
presented
with
four
groups
of
photos.
Two
of
the
groups
of
photos
were
of
cute
human
babies
and
animals
and
the
other
two
were
of
less
adorable
adult
humans
and
animals.
As
the
participants
looked
at
the
photos,
there
searchers
watched
their
brain
activities.
According
to
the
researchers,
the
participants
reward
systems
were
found
to
be
active
as
they
looked
at
the
cute
babies,
and
they
seemed
to
be
overwhelmed(征服的).
By
contrast,
the
reward
systems
of
the
people
looking
at
the
less
cute
adults
were
found
to
be
inactive,
and
they
seemed
to
be
less
impelled
by
their
reward
systems.
This
suggests
that
cute
things
activate
their
emotion
systems
in
such
a
way
that
people
are
overwhelmed
by
the
experience
of
cuteness.
But
reward
systems
work
against
these
emotions
by
creating
the
desire
to
protect
cute
things.
As
Katherine
Stavropoulos,
the
lead
researcher
of
this
study
at
the
University
of
California
in
the
US
told
Science
Alert,
“The
cute
aggression
is
the
brain's
way
of
‘bringing
us
back
down'
by
balancing
our
feelings
of
being
overwhelmed.”
Stavropoulos
compared
this
process
of
balancing
to
an
evolutionary
adaptation.
Such
an
adaptation
may
have
taken
place
to
ensure
that
people
are
able
to
continue
taking
care
of
creatures
they
consider
particularly
cute.
So,
although
cute
babies
and
adorable
animals
may
look
completely
helpless,
their
vulnerable
(易受伤害的)
appearance
may
in
fact
help
them
to
survive.
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于“cute
aggression”的研究成果。

答案：C
D
Frederic
Mishkin,
who's
been
a
professor
at
Columbia
Business
School
for
almost
30
years,
is
good
at
solving
problems
and
expressing
ideas.
Whether
he's
standing
in
front
of
a
lecture
hall
or
engaged
in
a
casual
conversation,
his
hands
are
always
waving
and
pointing.
When
he
was
in
graduate
school,
one
of
his
professors
was
so
annoyed
by
this
constant
gesturing
that
he
made
the
young
economist
sit
on
his
hands
whenever
he
visited
the
professor's
office.
It
turns
out,
however,
that
Mishkin's
professor
had
it
exactly
wrong.
Gesture
doesn't
prevent
but
promotes
clear
thought
and
speech.
Research
demonstrates
that
the
movements
we
make
with
our
hands
when
we
talk
form
a
kind
of
second
language,
adding
information
that's
absent
from
our
words.
It's
learning's
secret
code:
Gesture
reveals
what
we
know.
It
reveals
what
we
don't
know.
What's
more,
the
agreement
(or
lack
of
agreement)
between
what
our
voices
say
and
how
our
hands
move
offers
a
clue
to
our
readiness
to
learn.
Many
of
the
studies
establishing
the
importance
of
gesture
to
learning
have
been
conducted
by
Susan
Goldin?Meadow,
a
professor
of
psychology
at
the
University
of
Chicago.
“We
change
our
minds
by
moving
our
hands，”
writes
Goldin?Meadow
in
a
review
of
this
work.
Particularly
significant
are
what
she
calls
“mismatches”
between
oral
expression
and
physical
gestures.
A
student
might
say
that
a
heavier
ball
falls
faster
than
a
light
one,
for
example,
but
make
a
gesture
indicating
that
they
fall
at
the
same
rate,
which
is
correct.
Such
differences
indicate
that
we're
moving
from
one
level
of
understanding
to
another.
The
thoughts
expressed
by
hand
motions
are
often
our
newest
and
most
advanced
ideas
about
the
problem
we're
working
on;
we
can't
yet
absorb
these
concepts
into
language,
but
we
can
capture
them
in
movement.
Goldin?Meadow's
more
recent
work
strews
not
only
that
gesture
shows
our
readiness
to
learn,
but
that
it
actually
helps
to
bring
learning
about.
It
does
so
in
two
ways.
First,
it
elicits
(引出)
helpful
behavior
from
others
around
us.
Goldin?Meadow
has
found
that
adults
respond
to
children's
speech?gesture
mismatches
by
adjusting
their
way
of
instruction.
Parents
and
teachers
apparently
receive
the
signal
that
children
are
ready
to
learn,
and
they
act
on
it
by
offering
a
greater
variety
of
problem?solving
techniques.
The
act
of
gesturing
itself
also
seems
to
quicken
learning,
bringing
new
knowledge
into
consciousness
and
aiding
the
understanding
of
new
concepts.
A
2007
study
by
Susan
Wagner
Cook,
an
assistant
professor
of
psychology
at
the
University
of
Iowa,
reported
that
third?graders
who
were
asked
to
gesture
while
learning
algebra
(代数)
were
nearly
three
times
more
likely
to
remember
what
they'd
learned
than
classmates
who
did
not
gesture.

that
way
B．he
always

his
finger
at
his

答案：C
33．How
is
gesturing
important
in
acquiring
knowledge?
A．It
draws
tasteful
responses
from
others
and
increases
learning
speed.
B．It
promotes
second
language
learning
and
quickens
thinking.
C．It
provides
significant

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Switching
from
childhood
to
adulthood
can
be
challenging.
__36__
Work
on
not
acting
like
a
child
by
managing
your
emotions.
With
a
little
bit
of
practice,
you
will
begin
to
see
yourself
acting
more
like
an
adult
than
a
child.
●
Accept
responsibility
for
your
actions.
You
should
take
responsibility
for
your
actions,
whether
they
are
intentional
(故意的)
or
unintentional.
__37__
Failing
to
accept
responsibility
may
seem
like
a
good
idea
at
the
time,
but
in
the
long
term
it
will
not
benefit
you.
For
example,
if
you
accidentally
back
into
your
neighbor's
car,
let
them
know
by
writing
them
a
note
or
knocking
on
their
door.
Then,
correct
your
mistake
by
paying
for
the
damage.
●
Show
people
respect.
Respect
your
partner,
family
members,
friends,
and
strangers.
__38__
As
you
grow
up
and
mature,
you
should
understand
the
concept
of
respect
and
why
it
is
important.
Giving
respect
will
also
give
you
more
respect
in
return.
●
Develop
a
way
to
handle
conflict
maturely.
When
you
are
faced
with
a
conflict,
it
is
important
to
keep
your
emotions
in
check.
Control
your
anger
and
avoid
becoming
aggressive.
__39__
Give
yourself
time
to
cool
down
if
you
are
really
angry.
This
will
prevent
you
from
saying
and
doing
things
that
you
shouldn't
do
in
the
heat
of
the
moment.
●
Receive
feedback
(反馈)
positively.
People
learn
and
grow
by
receiving
feedback
and
criticism
from
others.
You
should
accept
that
you
don't
know
everything
and
that
feedback
from
an
expert
is
not
meant
to
hurt
you.
It
is
meant
to
help
you.
For
example,
thoroughly
read
through
your
edits
on
your
research
paper.
__40__
A．Take
on
adult
responsibilities.
B．Oftentimes,
you
may
still
feel
like
a
child.
C．Children
are
often
selfish
and
disrespectful.
D．It
is
a
sign
of
maturity
and
respect
for
others.
E．These
edits
will
help
improve
your
writing
in
the
future.
F．This
can
help
you
get
higher
marks
in
many
of
your
subjects.
G．Take
a
deep
breath,
listen,
and
work
through
the
conflict
with
the
other
individual.
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要给出了从童年到成年如何转变的建议。
36．B 解析：上文提示“从童年到成年的转变是很有挑战性的。”再根据下文提示“学会控制自己的情绪，不要表现得像个孩子。”承接上下文，B项Oftentimes,

When
I
entered
Berkeley,
I
hoped
to
earn
a
scholarship.
Having
been
a
Straight?A
student,
I
believed
I
could
take
tough
subjects
and
really
learn
something.
One
such
course
was
World
Literature
given
by
Professor
Jayne.
I
was
extremely
interested
in
the
ideas
he
__41__
in
class.When
I
took
the
first
exam,
I
was
__42__
to
find
a
77,
C?plus,
on
my
test
paper,
__43__
English
was
my
best
subject.
I
went
to
Professor
Jayne,
who
listened
to
my
arguments
but
remained
unmoved.
I
decided
to
try
harder,
although
I
didn't
know
what
that
__44__
because
school
had
always
been
easy
for
me.
I
read
the
books
more
carefully,
but
got
another
77.
Again,
I
__45__
with
Professor
Jayne.
Again,
he
listened
patiently
but
wouldn't
change
his
__46__.
One
more
test
before
the
final
exam.
One
more
__47__
to
improve
my
grade.
So
I
redoubled
my
efforts
and,
for
the
first
time，learned
the
meaning
of
the
word
“thorough”.
But
my
__48__
did
no
good
and
everything
__49__
as
before.
The
last
hurdle
(障碍)
was
the
final.
No
matter
what
__50__
I
got,
it
wouldn't
cancel
three
C?pluses.
I
might
as
well
kiss
the
__51__
goodbye.
I
stopped
working
hard.I
felt
I
knew
the
course
material
as
well
as
I
ever
would.The
night
before
the
final,
I
even
__52__
myself
to
a
movie.
The
next
day
I
decided
for
once
I'd
have
fun
with
a
test.
A
week
later,
I
was
surprised
to
find
I
got
an
A．I
hurried
into
Professor
Jayne's
office.
He
__53__
to
be
expecting
me.
“If
I
gave
you
the
As
you
__54__，
you
wouldn't
continue
to
work
as
hard.”
I
stared
at
him
__55__
that
his
analysis
and
strategy
were
correct.
I
had
worked
my
head
off,
as
I
had
never
done
before.
I
was
speechless
when
my
course
grade
arrived:
A?plus.
It
was
the
only
A?plus
given.
The
next
year
I
received
my
scholarship.
I've
always
remembered
Professor
Jayne's
lesson:
you
alone
must
set
your
own
standard
of
excellence.

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是关于中国高考的有关事宜。
56．wishing
解析：考查现在分词作后置定语。句意：英国伯明翰大学宣布，它将承认中国优秀学生的高考成绩。此处是现在分词作后置定语，修饰学生，学生与希望是主动关系，所以用现在分词，故答案为wishing。
57．who
解析：考查定语从句。句意：以优异成绩完成高考的高中生，无须先完成预科课程，就可以申请直接进入伯明翰的学位课程。此处High
school
students是先行词，指人，在后面的定语从句中作主语，故答案为who。
58．without
解析：考查介词。句意：以优异成绩完成高考的高中生，无须先完成预科课程，就可以申请直接进入伯明翰的学位课程。介词without后面跟动名词作宾语，结合句意可知答案为without。
59．is_held
解析：考查一般现在时态的被动语态。句意：6月初在中国各地举行的高考，越来越多地被澳大利亚、美国、加拿大和欧洲大陆的大学所接受。此处指目前的一种客观事实，且定语从句的主语which(Gaokao)和hold之间是一种被动关系，所以句子用一般现在时态的被动语态，故答案为is
held。
60．increasingly
解析：考查词性转换。句意：6月初在中国各地举行的高考，越来越多地被澳大利亚、美国、加拿大和欧洲大陆的大学所接受。此处accepted是动词，由副词来修饰，故答案为increasingly。
61．requirements
解析：考查名词复数。句意：伯明翰只会考虑那些在高考中取得至少80%的高考分数，并满足额外的学术和英语要求的高质量学生。结合句意可知此处用名词复数，故答案为requirements。
62．delighted
解析：考查形容词。句意：我很高兴这所大学现在接受高考。be
delighted“感到高兴”，故答案为delighted。
63．brightest
解析：考查形容词最高级。句意：这给了最聪明、最优秀的中国学生……
。根据the和best可知此处用形容词最高级，故答案为brightest。
64．an
解析：考查不定冠词。句意：有机会直接进入我们的本科课程的第一年，体验在全球百强大学学习的好处。此处表示泛指，且opportunity是以元音音素开头，故答案为an。
65．global
解析：考查词形转换。句意：有机会直接进入我们的本科课程的第一年，体验在全球百强大学学习的好处。此处是形容词修饰名词，故答案为global。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Nowadays,
it
is
most
probable
that
you
have
an
electronic
device
loaded
with
hundreds
or
even
thousands
of
your
favourite
songs.
At
any
moment
in
time,
you
can
fill
your
headphones
with
the
sounds
of
a
particular
song
that
suits
your
mood
at
that
exact
time.
Music
is
so
common.
But
have
you
realized
the
power
of
it?
Are
you
getting
ready
for
a
big
soccer
match
or
do
you
need
to
get
excited?
Maybe
some
hip
hop
with
a
strong
beat
will
do
the
trick!
Besides,
you
might
be
ready
to
study
for
a
big
exam
the
next
day.
To
help
you
study
better，a
little
bit
of
Mozart
might
make
you
remember
things
better.
We
may
all
have
been
moved
by
particular
songs
that
spoke
to
us
in
some
situations.
But
is
there
any
scientific
evidence
showing
that
music
really
has
such
effect
on
people?
Of
course,
there
is!
Scientists
have
long
recognized
the
power
of
music.Over
the
years,
many
studies
have
been
done
to
examine
in
greater
depth
the
nature
and
extent
of
the
elects
music
has
on
people.
For
example,
scientists
at
the
University
of
Missouri
have
found
that
listening
to
music
can
have
positive
effects
on
your
mood.Their
research
gives
scientific
credibility(可靠性)
to
the
behavior
that
many
people
have
already
experienced
on
their
own:
listening
to
upbeat
music
can
brighten
your
day
and
boost
your
mood.
Other
studies
have
shown
that
upbeat
music
isn't
the
only
type
of
music
that
can
be
helpful,
however.
When
people
are
sad
or
have
suffered
a
personal
loss,
sad
music
can
be
helpful
because
the
tone
and
lyrics
of
the
music
can
resonate
(引起共鸣)
with
the
listeners.
Likewise,
people
under
a
lot
of
stress
or
experiencing
upsetting
situations
can
benefit
from
listening
to
angry
music.Although
angry
music
might
not
help
you
if
you're
in
a
normal
mood,
its
tone
can
benefit
you
when
you
are
dealing
with
stressful
and
upsetting
situations.
Nowadays,
with
modern
devices,
music
to
your
taste
is
easily
accessible.
(要点1)
Yet,
its
power,
which
might
benefit
you,
is
not
fully
realized.
(要点2)
Scientists
have
researched
into
the
nature
and
extent
of
music's
effects
on
humans.
(要点3)
For
instance,
scientists
at
the
University
of
Missouri
have
proven
upbeat
music
can
cheer
you
up.
(要点4)
Besides,
sad
music
and
angry
music
have
also
been
found
to
be
helpful.
(要点5)
