Ⅰ.阅读理解
In
the
age
of
Amazon
and
the
Internet,
the
idea
of
going
to
a
public
library
to
borrow
a
book
may
seem
ever
more
unusual
and
old?fashioned
in
many
parts
of
the
world,
but
one
country,
at
least,
is
holding
on
it
tightly:
the
Czech
Republic.
There
are
libraries
everywhere
you
look
in
the
country.
There
is
one
library
for
every
1,971
Czech
citizens—four
times
as
many,
relative
to
population,
as
the
average
European
country,
and
10
times
as
many
as
the
United
States,
which
has
one
for
every
19,583
people.
Why
so
many
Czech
libraries?
Well,
for
decades
they
were
mandatory—every
community,
from
a
big
city
down
to
a
tiny
village,
was
required
by
law
to
have
one.
The
law
was
enacted
in
1919,
soon
after
Czechoslovakia
emerged
as
an
independent
country.
The
library
law
survived
the
German
occupation
and
the
breakup
with
Slovakia
in
the
early
1990s.
What
it
couldn't
survive
was
budget
pressure.
To
save
money,
the
requirement
was
dropped
in
2001,
when
there
were
about
6,019
libraries
in
the
country；since
then,
about
11
percent
have
been
combined
or
closed.
Now,
the
surviving
Czech
libraries
are
doing
what
they
can
to
stay
vibrant
(生气勃勃的)
and
relevant.
They
serve
as
local
meeting
places,
They
organize
reading
clubs
and
art
exhibits
and
offer
computer
literacy
(读写)
courses,
and
they
welcome
groups
of
schoolchildren
and
retirees
during
the
day.
But
mostly,
they
do
what
92
percent
of
Czechs
still
want
them
to
go
on
doing:
They
lend
books.

Ⅱ.七选五
Parents
often
say
that
they
don't
mind
what
their
children
do
in
life
just
as
long
as
they
are
happy.
Happiness
and
pleasure
are
almost
universally
seen
as
among
the
most
precious
human
goods.
__1__
Philosopher
Jeremy
Bentham
believed
that
all
sources
of
pleasure
are
of
equal
quality,
but
John
Stuart
Mill
disagreed.
Mill
argued
for
a
difference
between
higher
and
lower
pleasure.
__2__
Lower
pleasure,
in
contrast,
requires
mere
(仅仅的；纯粹的)
senses.
The
entire

assumes
a
clear
divide
between
the
physical
and

__3__
What
will
it
mean
for
our

about
pleasure?
__4__
Food
is
usually
considered
to
be
the
lower
pleasure.
All
animals
eat,
using
the
senses
of
smell
and
taste.
It
doesn't
require
any
complex
cognition
(认知)
to
conclude
that
something
is
delicious.
However,
these
people
failed
to
appreciate
something
that
the
French
food
writer
Jean
Anthelme
Brillat?Savarin
captured.
That
is,
“Animals
feed;
man
eats;
only
the
man
of
intellect
(才智)
knows
how
to
eat.”
Eating
shows
that
the
difference
between
higher
pleasure
and
lower
pleasure
is
not
what
you
enjoy
but
how
you
enjoy
it.
__5__
Preparing
it
using
the
powers
of
reflection
and
attention
turns
it
into
a
higher
pleasure.
A．The
dining
table
is
a
good
place
to
start.
B．Wolfing
down
your
food
is
a
lower
kind
of
pleasure.
C．What's
the
real
difference
between
high
and
low
pleasure?
D．What
happens
if
the
physical
and
the
mental
cannot
be
separated?
E．All
philosophers
believed
that
cookery
could
never
be
a
form
of
art.
F．Higher
pleasure
depends
on
human
abilities
such
as
self?awareness
or
language
use.
G．However,

Hunter
Shamatt
lost
his
wallet
while
he
was
on
a
flight
from
Omaha
to
Denver
earlier
this
month.
Upon
realizing
that
his
wallet
was
lost,
he
__1__
the
airline
to
see
if
anyone
had
turned
it
in—but
fruitlessly.
__2__
the
wallet
contained
his
ID,
a
signed
paycheck,
$60
in
cash
,
etc,
he
feared
the
worst.
Two
days
after
the
flight,
however,
Hunter
was
__3__
to
receive
a
package
in
the
mail
from
an
anonymous
(匿名的)
sender.
Inside
was
his
wallet—__4__
an
additional
$40
in
cash.
“I
rounded
your
cash
up
to
an
even
$100
so
you
could
celebrate
the
__5__
of
your
wallet.”，
read
a
letter
that
was
enclosed
with
the
package.
Hunter's
mother,
Jeannie,
posted
a
photo
of
the
__6__
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
__7__
from
Applied
Underwriters
in
Omaha
and
the
sender's
initials
were
signed
“T.B”.
The
sender
was
later
__8__
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
__9__，
‘Well,
he's
doing
his
best
to
make
ends
meet.’
”
said
Brown.
“Hunter
was
very
__10__.
He
told
me
he
has
some
student
loans
to
pay
within
two
days
so
the
__11__
was
right，”
Brown
added,
“He
__12__
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
__13__
on
the
letter,
but
Jeannie
later
insisted
on
__14__
him
on
social
media.
Jeannie
wrote
on
Facebook,
“This
story
is
more
about
rebuilding
__15__
in
people
than
anything.”
这是一篇记叙文，主要讲是Hunter在机场丢了钱包，后意外收到匿名人士寄来的包裹，里面是他的钱包，还有40美元。后来通过网络找到了寄件人，这个故事让作者重建对人性的信心。

Ⅳ.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。
Recently
I
told
my
7?year?old
grandson
that
I
wouldn't
get
to
see
him
for
a
week
because
I
was
going
away
on
business.
He
knows
I
often
travel,
but
the
“business”
part
caught
his
attention.
“Can't
you
write
your
articles
at
your
house？”
he
asked.
He
knows
I
write
some
articles
each
week.
“I'm
not
writing
on
this
trip，”
I
said.
“I'm
speaking;
it's
part
of
my
job.”
For
many
years,
my
children
knew
me
as
simply
their
mother.
In
kindergarten
(幼儿园),
when
asked
to
tell
his
class
about
his
family,
my
oldest
child
said,
“My
dad
teaches
chemistry
and
coaches
basketball.
And
my
mom
drives
us
to
his
games.”
My
own
mother
worked
as
a
waitress
to
put
food
on
the
table
and
second?hand
shoes
on
our
feet.
I
was
proud
of
all
she
did,
but
I
loved
her
most
for
being
my
mother.
The
best
way
to
think
of
someone
is
never
by
their
job
description;
it's
a
celebration
of
the
reasons
why
they're
loved
and
the
ways
they
make
the
world
a
better
place.
My
children
lost
their
father
to
cancer
when
they
were
just
becoming
adults.
They
admired
him
greatly
as
a
teacher
and
a
coach.
But
they
loved
him
most
for
simply
being
their
dad.
We
are
defined
(界定)
not
only
by
our
jobs,
but
also
how
we
treat
people
we
work
with
and
deal
with
along
the
way.
I'm
thankful
for
my
job.
But
I'd
like
to
be
known
to
my
family
and
friends
and
myself
for
the
reasons
that
they
love
me
and
the
ways
I
try
to
make
their
world
a
better
place.Unit

In
the
age
of
Amazon
and
the

the
idea
of
going
to
a
public
library
to
borrow
a
book
may
seem
ever
more
unusual
and
old?fashioned
in
many
parts
of
the

but
one
country,
at
least,
is
holding
on
it
tightly:
the
Czech
Republic.
There

everywhere

is
the

mainly
about?
A．The
rise
and
fall
of
Czech

B．The
difficulties
Czech
libraries
face.
C．The

of

services
in
Czech.
D．The
amazing
number
of
Czech
libraries.
答案：D
解析：段落大意题。根据第一段最后一句There
is
one
library
for
every
1,971
Czech
citizens—four
times
as
many,
relative
to
population,
as
the
average
European
country,
and
10
times
as
many
as
the
United
States,
which
has
one
for
every
19,583
people.(每1
971名捷克公民就拥有一座图书馆，是欧洲平均水平的4倍，是美国的10倍。美国每19
583人拥有一座图书馆。)可知第一段主要介绍捷克数量惊人的图书馆。故选D。
2．What
does
the
underlined
word
“mandatory”
in
Paragraph
2
mean?
A．Essential.
B．Available.
C．Compulsory.
D．Particular.
答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据下文every
community,
from
a
big
city
down
to
a
tiny
village,
was
required
by
law
to
have
one.(法律要求每个社区，从大城市到小村庄，都必须有一个。)可知捷克图书馆是法律强制要求的，是强制性的，故画线部分单词意思为“强制的”。A.Essential.基本的；B.Available.可获得的；C.Compulsory强制的；D.Particular.特别的；故选C。
3．What's
the
reason
for
Czech
libraries
combination
or
close?
A．The
money
shortage.
B．The
German
occupation.
C．The
government's
policy.
D．The
breakup
with
Slovakia.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句To
save
money,
the
requirement
was
dropped
in
2001,
when
there
were
about
6,019
libraries
in
the
country；since
then,
about
11
percent
have
been
combined
or
closed.可知为了省钱，要求在2001年被降了下来，当时这个国家大约有6
019座图书馆；从那时起，大约11%被合并或关闭。即捷克图书馆合并或关闭的原因是资金短缺。故选A。
4．According
to
the
text,
people
go
to
today's
Czech
libraries
most
often
to
________.
A．admire
works
of
art
B．borrow
books
C．join
reading
clubs
D．learn
computer
skills
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句But
mostly,
they
do
what
92
percent
of
Czechs
still
want
them
to
go
on
doing:
They
lend
books.可知，大部分图书馆仍旧向外借书，因此推断现在的捷克人去图书馆很多的时候是借书。故选B。

这是一篇说明文。幸福和快乐几乎被普遍认为是人类最宝贵的财富之一。然而，关于某些形式的快乐是否比其他形式的好，会产生分歧。
1．G 解析：根据第二段第一句Philosopher
Jeremy
Bentham
believed
that
all
sources
of
pleasure
are
of
equal
quality,
but
John
Stuart
Mill
disagreed.可知Jeremy
Bentham认为所有快乐的来源都是平等的，但是John
Stuart
Mill不同意。可知关于某些形式的快乐是否比其他形式的好，存在分歧。故选G。
2．F 解析：根据上文Mill
argued
for
a
difference
between
higher
and
lower
pleasure.(密尔认为快乐的高低是有区别的。)下文提到了lower
pleasure，即可知本句应是说明了higher
pleasure。故选F：更高的快乐取决于人类的能力，如自我意识或语言使用。
3．D 解析：根据上文The
entire
debate
assumes
a
clear
divide
between
the
physical
and
the
mental.(整个辩论在生理和心理上有明显的分歧。)中physical
and
the
mental可对应到D选项中the
physical
and
the
mental，句意：如果身体和精神不能分开会发生什么？故选D。
4．A 解析：根据下文Food
is
usually
considered
to
be
the
lower
pleasure.可知提到了food，故可对应到A选项中的dining
table。句意：餐桌就是一个分歧很明显的地方。故选A。
5．B 解析：根据后文Preparing
it
using
the
powers
of
reflection
and
attention
turns
it
into
a
higher
pleasure.(用反思和专注的力量来准备它，会把它变成一种更高的乐趣。)可知上文应该描述低级趣味。B项，狼吞虎咽是一种低级趣味。故选B。

Inside
was
his
wallet—__4__
an
additional
$40
in
cash.
“I
rounded
your
cash
up
to
an
even
$100
so
you
could
celebrate
the
__5__
of
your
wallet.”，
read
a
letter
that
was
enclosed
with
the
package.
Hunter's
mother,
Jeannie,
posted
a
photo
of
the
__6__
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
__7__
from
Applied
Underwriters
in
Omaha
and
the
sender's
initials
were
signed
“T.B”.
The
sender
was
later
__8__
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
__9__，
‘Well,
he's
doing
his
best
to
make
ends
meet.’
”
said
Brown.
“Hunter
was
very
__10__.
He
told
me
he
has
some
student
loans
to
pay
within
two
days
so
the
__11__
was
right，”
Brown
added,
“He
__12__
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
__13__
on
the
letter,
but
Jeannie
later
insisted
on
__14__
him
on
social
media.
Jeannie
wrote
on
Facebook,
“This
story
is
more
about
rebuilding
__15__
in
people
than
anything.”

Ⅳ.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。
Recently
I
told
my
7?year?old
grandson
that
I
wouldn't
get
to
see
him
for
a
week
because
I
was
going
away
on
business.
He
knows
I
often
travel,
but
the
“business”
part
caught
his
attention.
“Can't
you
write
your
articles
at
your
house？”
he
asked.
He
knows
I
write
some
articles
each
week.
“I'm
not
writing
on
this
trip，”
I
said.
“I'm
speaking;
it's
part
of
my
job.”
For
many
years,
my
children
knew
me
as
simply
their
mother.
In
kindergarten
(幼儿园),
when
asked
to
tell
his
class
about
his
family,
my
oldest
child
said,
“My
dad
teaches
chemistry
and
coaches
basketball.
And
my
mom
drives
us
to
his
games.”
My
own
mother
worked
as
a
waitress
to
put
food
on
the
table
and
second?hand
shoes
on
our
feet.
I
was
proud
of
all
she
did,
but
I
loved
her
most
for
being
my
mother.
The
best
way
to
think
of
someone
is
never
by
their
job
description;
it's
a
celebration
of
the
reasons
why
they're
loved
and
the
ways
they
make
the
world
a
better
place.
My
children
lost
their
father
to
cancer
when
they
were
just
becoming
adults.
They
admired
him
greatly
as
a
teacher
and
a
coach.
But
they
loved
him
most
for
simply
being
their
dad.
We
are
defined
(界定)
not
only
by
our
jobs,
but
also
how
we
treat
people
we
work
with
and
deal
with
along
the
way.
I'm
thankful
for
my
job.
But
I'd
like
to
be
known
to
my
family
and
friends
and
myself
for
the
reasons
that
they
love
me
and
the
ways
I
try
to
make
their
world
a
better
place.
