Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I
first
met
Paul
Newman
in
1968,when
George
Roy
Hill,the
director
of
Butch
Cassidy
and
the
Sundance
Kid,introduced
us
in
New
York
City.When
the
studio
didn't
want
me
for
the
film—it
wanted
somebody
as
well–known
as
Paul—he
stood
up
for
me.I
don't
know
how
many
people
would
have
done
that;they
would
have
listened
to
their
agents
or
the
studio
powers.
The
friendship
that
grew
out
of
the
experience
of
making
that
film
and
The
Sting
four
years
later
had
its
root
in
the
fact
that
although
there
was
an
age
difference,we
both
came
from
a
tradition
of
theatre
and
live
TV.We
were
respectful
of
craft(技艺)and
focused
on
digging
into
the
characters
we
were
going
to
play.Both
of
us
had
the
qualities
and
virtues
that
are
typical
of
American
actors:humorous,aggressive,and
making
fun
of
each
other—but
always
with
an
underlying
affection.Those
were
also
at
the
core(核心)of
our
relationship
off
the
screen.
We
shared
the
belief
that
if
you're
fortunate
enough
to
have
success,you
should
put
something
back—he
with
his
Newman's
Own
food
and
his
Hole
in
the
Wall
camps
for
kids
who
are
seriously
ill,and
me
with
Sundance
and
the
institute
and
the
festival.Paul
and
I
didn't
see
each
other
all
that
regularly,but
sharing
that
brought
us
together.We
supported
each
other
financially
and
by
showing
up
at
events.
I
last
saw
him
a
few
months
ago.He'd
been
in
and
out
of
the
hospital.He
and
I
both
knew
what
the
deal
was,and
we
didn't
talk
about
it.Ours
was
a
relationship
that
didn't
need
a
lot
of
words.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了与Paul的相识及与其建立友谊的原因,两人虽不常见面但是却因共同的信念而保持着友谊。
1.Why
was
the
studio
unwilling
to
give
the
role
to
the
author
at
first?
A.Paul
Newman
wanted
it.
B.The
studio
powers
didn't
like
his
agent.
C.He
wasn't
famous
enough.
D.The
director
recommended
someone
else.
C [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When
the
studio
didn't
want
me
for
the
film—it
wanted
somebody
as
well–known
as
Paul—he
stood
up
for
me.”可知,摄影棚起初不愿意给作者角色的原因是想找一个与Paul一样著名的人物。故可知作者当时不够有名。该题选C项。]
2.Why
did
Paul
and
the
author
have
a
lasting
friendship?
A.They
were
of
the
same
age.
B.They
worked
in
the
same
theatre.
C.They
were
both
good
actors.
D.They
had
similar
characteristics.
D [推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“We
were
respectful
of
craft(技艺)and
focused
on
digging
into
the
characters
we
were
going
to
play.Both
of
us
had
the
qualities
and
virtues
that
are
typical
of
American
actors”可知,作者与Paul之所以拥有持久的友谊是因为他们有相似的性格特征。故D项符合题意。]
3.What
does
the
underlined
word
“that”
in
Paragraph
3
refer
to?
A.Their
belief.
B.Their
care
for
children.
C.Their
success.
D.Their
support
for
each
other.
A [代词指代题。根据第三段中的“We
shared
the
belief
that
if
you're
fortunate
enough
to
have
success,you
should
put
something
back”可知,下文的内容是对the
belief的解释,that引导同位语从句,解释说明the
belief的具体内容。下文提到了我们并不经常见面,但是分享这个信念把我们带到了一起。故选A项。]
4.What
is
the
author's
purpose
in
writing
the
text?
A.To
show
his
love
of
films.
B.To
remember
a
friend.
C.To
introduce
a
new
movie.
D.To
share
his
acting
experience.
B [写作意图题。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段中的“I
first
met
Paul
Newman
in
1968”以及最后一段中的“I
last
saw
him
a
few
months
ago”可知,该篇文章的写作目的是回忆一位朋友,所以选B项。]
B
When
she
was
a
little
girl,Margarita
Engle
spent
her
summers
in
Cuba,where
she
says
she
fell
in
love
with
nature.
Engle,66,was
born
to
a
Cuban
mother
and
an
American
father.Her
annual
visits
to
the
Caribbean
island
from
her
home
in
California
shaped
her
life
and
inspired
her
to
become
a
poet
and
writer.The
Poetry
Foundation
recently
named
her
its
Young
People's
Poet
Laureate,a
role
Engle
plans
to
use
to
encourage
children
and
teenagers
to
write
down
their
feelings.
“Magic
happens
when
you
put
your
emotions
in
writing,”she
said.
Engle
says
she
has
always
liked
poetry.At
age
6,she
wrote
her
first
poem
about
nature.After
looking
around
while
taking
a
walk
one
day
in
California,she
wrote
a
rhymed
poem
about
the
shapes
of
hills.As
a
teen,she
wrote
sonnets(十四行诗)about
nature
and
stories
about
people
in
Cuba.
Some
of
her
books
explore
the
island,its
people,markets
and
landmarks.Her
new
picture
book,All
the
Way
to
Havana,features
American
cars
from
the
1940s
and
1950s.Forest
World,a
new
novel,introduces
Edver
to
readers,an
11?year?old
who
lives
in
Miami,Florida,with
his
mother
and
is
shipped
off
to
Cuba
to
see
his
birthplace
and
meet
his
Cuban
family.When
he
arrives
in
Havana,the
capital,he
learns
he
has
an
older
sister,Luza,who
stayed
on
the
island
with
her
father
and
grandfather.The
two
go
on
an
adventure
into
a
Cuban
forest.
“The
emotions
of
the
characters
are
similar
to
what
many
children
feel
when
they
are
separated
from
loved
ones,”Engle
said.She
hopes
that
people
facing
similar
challenges
can
find
support
and
comfort
in
poetry.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。Engle童年时每年往返于古巴和美国,这让她得以亲近自然,并激发了她的创作热情,使她最终成为一位知名的诗人和作家。
5.What
made
Engle
a
poet?
A.Her
visits
to
Cuba.
B.Days
spent
in
California.
C.Magic
skills
in
practicing
writing.
D.Encouragement
from
the
Poetry
Foundation.
A [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Her
annual
visits
to
the
Caribbean
island
from
her
home
in
California
shaped
her
life
and
inspired
her
to
become
a
poet
and
writer.”可知A项正确。]
6.We
can
learn
from
the
text
that
young
Engle
probably
.
A.enjoyed
indoor
games
B.found
inspiration
in
nature
C.liked
exploring
cities
in
Florida
D.made
friends
with
Cuban
people
B [推理判断题。根据第一段和第四段中的“At
age
6,she
wrote
her
first
poem
about
nature...she
wrote
sonnets(十四行诗)about
nature”可知,儿时的Engle爱上了大自然,还写了关于大自然的诗,因此可推断她从大自然中获得了创作灵感,故选B。]
7.What
is
TRUE
about
Forest
World?
A.It
is
a
new
picture
book.
B.It
is
based
on
a
real?life
event.
C.It
talks
about
an
adventure
story.
D.It
describes
family
ties
between
countries.
D [推理判断题。根据第五段提到的小说Forest
World的内容可知,该书描写的是Edver离开美国佛罗里达州前往古巴哈瓦那探亲的故事,揭示的是分隔在两个国家的家庭亲情,故选D。]
8.What
does
Engle
stress
in
the
last
paragraph?
A.The
frequent
changes
of
emotions.
B.The
challenges
in
writing
poems.
C.The
separations
from
family
members.
D.The
links
between
life
and
literature.
D [推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,Engle认为无论是在作品中还是在现实中,孩子离别亲人时心底迸发的情感是相似的,她希望面临这种处境的人能从诗歌中寻觅到支持和慰藉。故Engle在此强调生活与文学作品的联系。]
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。
I
should
have
been
born
with
my
fingers
permanently
glued
to
a
keyboard.Since
I
was
five,I've
known
that
I
want
to
be
a
professional
writer:a
journalist,a
novelist,a
modern?day
Shakespeare,maybe.In
my
freshman
year
I
tried
to
figure
out
what
A
Midsummer
Night's
Dream
and
The
Tragedy
of
Julius
Caesar
were
about.Macbeth
was
much
easier
to
understand
in
my
sophomore
year(大二年级).
However,I'm
practically
addicted
to
books,whether
I'm
reading
or
writing
them.I
can't
go
a
single
day
without
writing
something.I
have
made
it
a
rule
to
pick
up
a
pen
and
just
let
my
thoughts
out
every
day.
I
can
be
inspired
by
anything:an
expression,a
song
and
a
movie.Once
I
get
inspired,
it's
like
the
wheels
turning
faster
and
faster
as
I
think
out
one
possible
story
after
another.
My
family
is
so
widespread
that
whenever
I
meet
with
a
cousin
or
an
aunt
I
only
vaguely(模糊地)remember;I
tell
him
or
her
I'm
a
writer
because
I
know
it
will
distinguish
me
from
all
the
other
kids
in
the
family
and
make
me
memorable.I
told
my
relatives
about
the
stories
I
used
to
write
as
a
child,the
projects
I'm
working
on
now,and
why
I'm
working
so
hard
to
make
a
breakthrough
in
the
competitive
world
of
publishing.One
aunt
hugged
me
and
told
me,“Just
don't
forget
about
the
rest
of
us
when
you
become
the
next
J.K.Rowling.”
Smiling,I
replied,“Don't
worry,I
won't.”
I
am
confident
that
I
will
become
the
next
J.K.Rowling.I
have
the
ambition,
the
means,and
the
talent.My
English
and
history
teachers
don't
praise
my
writing
and
tell
me
I
have
an
innate(与生俱来的)writing
talent
even
though
they
know
how
passionate
I
am
about
writing,and
how
that
passion
slips
through
my
fingertips
to
the
paper.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph
1:
I
don't
really
know
why
I
love
writing
so
much.
Paragraph
2:
Maybe
I
just
want
to
leave
my
mark
on
the
world
since
I
can't
sing
to
create
a
great
work
of
art.
【参考范文】
Paragraph
1:
I
don't
really
know
why
I
love
writing
so
much.I
just
do.I
always
feel
that
there
is
something
in
my
mind
about
putting
a
story
down
on
paper
for
friends
across
the
globe
to
read
and
understand,
and
about
finding
just
the
right
words
to
describe
what
I
can
see
so
clearly
in
my
head,which
attracts
me
like
a
beautiful
song.Writing
makes
me
who
I
am.Through
writing
I
have
found
true
happiness.
Paragraph
2:
Maybe
I
just
want
to
leave
my
mark
on
the
world
since
I
can't
sing
to
create
a
great
work
of
art.Although
I
am
a
pretty
good
actor,acting
doesn't
seem
like
the
right
path
for
me,so
I've
chosen
writing
to
make
a
breakthrough
in
this
world.I
am
a
novelist,journalist
and
graduate
from
Columbia
University.How
nice
it
sounds!

effect副作用,由前面的some和下文中的两个例子overweight
and
heart
disease可知名词effect用复数形式effects。]
3.to
process [考查非谓语动词之动词不定式。require
sth.to
do
sth.需要某物做某事,此处用了被动语态结构,所以填动词不定式to
process作主语补足语。]
4.are
removed [考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据语境可知此处用一般现在时,由于主语fat
and
salt是复数概念,且与remove是被动关系,所以填一般现在时的被动语态结构are
removed。]
5.a [考查固定搭配中的冠词。as
a
result结果,是固定搭配。]
6.worse [考查副词的比较级。根据语境可知,此处表示程度的加深,所以用比较级形式。even
worse更糟的是,可以看作固定搭配。]
7.is [考查时态和主谓一致。根据行文的时态可知,此处用一般现在时;句子的主语Fast
food(快餐)是不可数名词短语,故填be的第三人称单数形式is。]
8.eating [考查非谓语动词之动名词。表示方式的介词by之后接动名词作宾语。]
9.careful [考查词性转换之名词变为形容词。be之后接形容词作表语,care的形容词形式是careful。]
10.which [考查非限制性定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知,空格处所填词引导非限制性定语从句并在从句中作主语,且指代整个主句的内容,故填关系代词which。]

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
When
I
was
17,I
read
a
magazine
article
about
a
museum
called
the
McNay,once
the
home
of
a
watercolorist
named
Marian
McNay.She
had
requested
the
community
to
turn
it
into
a
museum
upon
her
death.On
a
sunny
Saturday,Sally
and
I
drove
over
to
the
museum.She
asked,“Do
you
have
the
address?”
“No,but
I'll
recognise
it,there
was
a
picture
in
the
magazine.”
“Oh,stop.There
it
is!”
The
museum
was
free.We
entered,excited.A
group
of
people
sitting
in
the
hall
stopped
talking
and
stared
at
us.
“May
I
help
you?”
a
man
asked.“No,”
I
said.“We're
fine.”
Tour
guides
got
on
my
nervous.What
if
they
talked
a
long
time
about
a
painting
you
weren't
that
interested
in?
Sally
had
gone
upstairs.The
people
in
the
hall
seemed
very
nosy(爱窥探的),keeping
their
eyes
on
me
with
curiosity.What
was
their
problem?
I
saw
some
nice
sculptures
in
one
room.Suddenly
I
sensed
a
man
standing
behind
me.“Where
do
you
think
you
are?”
he
asked.I
turned
sharply.“The
McNay
Art
Museum!”
He
smiled,shaking
his
head.“Sorry,the
McNay
is
on
New
Braunfels
Street.”
“What's
this
place?”
I
asked,still
confused.“Well,it's
our
home.”
My
heart
jolted(震颤).I
raced
to
the
staircase
and
called
out,“Sally!
Come
down
immediately!”
“There's
some
really
good
stuff(艺术作品)up
there.”
She
stepped
down,looking
confused.I
pushed
her
toward
the
front
door,waving
at
the
family,saying,“Sorry,please
forgive
us,you
have
a
really
nice
place.”
Outside,when
I
told
Sally
what
had
happened,she
covered
her
mouth,laughing.She
couldn't
believe
how
long
they
let
us
look
around
without
saying
anything.
The
real
McNay
was
splendid,but
we
felt
nervous
the
whole
time
we
were
there.Van
Gogh,Picasso.This
time,we
stayed
together,in
case
anything
else
unusual
happened.
Thirty
years
later,a
woman
approached
me
in
a
public
place.“Excuse
me,did
you
ever
enter
a
residence,long
ago,thinking
it
was
the
McNay
Museum?”
“Yes.But
how
do
you
know?
We
never
told
anyone.”
“That
was
my
home.I
was
a
teenager
sitting
in
the
hall.Before
you
came
over,I
never
realized
what
a
beautiful
place
I
lived
in.I
never
felt
lucky
before.You
thought
it
was
a
museum.My
feelings
about
my
home
changed
after
that.I've
always
wanted
to
thank
you.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者17岁的时候和好友去博物馆,结果误闯民宅。30年后,这家的一位成员认出了作者并感谢作者让她意识到自己家的美。
1.What
do
we
know
about
Marian
McNay?
A.She
was
a
painter.
B.She
was
a
community
leader.
C.She
was
a
museum
director.
D.She
was
a
journalist.
A [细节理解题。第一段说,McNay是水彩画家(watercolorist),她要求社区在她死后把她曾经居住的地方改成博物馆,由此判断她是个画家。]
2.Why
did
the
author
refuse
the
help
from
the
man
in
the
house?
A.She
disliked
people
who
were
nosy.
B.She
felt
nervous
when
talking
to
strangers.
C.She
knew
more
about
art
than
the
man.
D.She
mistook
him
for
a
tour
guide.
D [推理判断题。根据题干信息,我们把答案定位在第四段。作者和朋友来到这个博物馆,然后有人询问是否需要帮助的时候,作者说导游让她紧张,从这些信息判断,作者误以为这个人是导游,因此选D。]
3.How
did
the
author
feel
about
being
stared
at
by
the
people
in
the
hall?
A.Puzzled.
B.Concerned.
C.Frightened.
D.Delighted.
A [推理判断题。根据题干的“被大厅里的人盯着看”判断,本题答案在第四段。该段说,当作者发现大厅里的人似乎都喜欢窥探,都好奇地盯着自己的时候,心想,“他们这是怎么了”(What
was
their
problem)。从这些信息推断选A,作者对此十分困惑。]
4.Why
did
the
author
describe
the
real
McNay
museum
in
just
a
few
words?
A.The
real
museum
lacked
enough
artworks
to
interest
her.
B.She
was
too
upset
to
spend
much
time
at
the
real
museum.
C.The
McNay
was
disappointing
compared
with
the
house.
D.The
event
happening
in
the
house
was
more
significant.
D [推理判断题。第六段说作者和朋友来到真正的McNay博物馆,但是她们一直觉得紧张,害怕又出现先前那种不同寻常的事。由此推断,她们一直想着先前误闯他人的家的事,因此选D。]
B
Minutes
after
the
last
movie
ended
yesterday
at
the
Plaza
theatre,employees
were
busy
sweeping
up
popcorn
and
gathering
Coke
cups.It
was
a
scene
that
had
been
repeated
many
times
in
the
theatre's
75?year
history.This
time,however,the
cleanup
was
a
little
different.As
one
group
of
workers
carried
out
the
rubbish,another
group
began
removing
seats
and
other
theatre
equipment
in
preparation
for
the
building's
end.
The
film
classic
The
Last
Picture
Show
was
the
last
movie
shown
in
the
old
theatre.Though
the
movie
is
30
years
old,most
of
the
250
seats
were
filled
with
teary?eyed
audience
wanting
to
say
good?bye
to
the
old
building.Theatre
owner
Ed
Bradford
said
he
chose
the
movie
because
it
seemed
appropriate.The
movie
is
set
in
a
small
town
where
the
only
movie
theatre
is
preparing
to
close
down.
Bradford
said
that
large
modern
theatres
in
the
city
made
it
impossible
for
the
Plaza
to
compete.He
added
that
the
theatre's
location(位置)was
also
a
reason.“This
used
to
be
the
centre
of
town,”he
said.“Now
the
area
is
mostly
office
buildings
and
warehouses.”
Last
week
some
city
officials
suggested
the
city
might
be
interested
in
turning
the
old
theatre
into
a
museum
and
public
meeting
place.However,these
plans
were
abandoned
because
of
financial
problems.Bradford
sold
the
building
and
land
to
a
local
development
firm,which
plans
to
build
a
shopping
complex
on
the
land
where
the
theatre
is
located.
The
theatre
audience
said
good?bye
as
Bradford
locked
the
doors
for
the
last
time.After
75
years
the
Plaza
Theatre
had
shown
its
last
movie.The
theatre
will
be
missed.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。最后一场电影结束几分钟后,工作人员忙着清理爆米花,收拾可乐杯子。这是在电影院75年的历史中被重复了很多次的普通一幕,但这一次清扫工作有点儿不同。到底是什么原因使得它与众不同呢?快读读文章,来寻找答案吧!
5.In
what
way
was
yesterday's
cleanup
at
the
Plaza
special?
A.It
made
room
for
new
equipment.
B.It
signaled
the
closedown
of
the
theatre.
C.It
was
done
with
the
help
of
the
audience.
D.It
marked
the
75th
anniversary
of
the
theatre.
B [推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“This
time,however,the

was
a
little

of
workers
carried
out
the
rubbish,another
group
began
removing
seats
and
other
theatre
equipment
in
preparation
for
the
building's
end.”可知,这次清扫工作有点儿不同,清理完垃圾后,工作人员也要把椅子和其他影院设备搬走,因为这个电影院要关门了,故选B项。]
6.Why
was
The
Last
Picture
Show
put
on?
A.It
was
an
all?time
classic.
B.It
was
about
the
history
of
the
town.
C.The
audience
requested
it.
D.The
theatre
owner
found
it
suitable.
D [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Theatre
owner
Ed
Bradford
said
he
chose
the
movie
because
it
seemed
appropriate.”可知,影院选择放映电影The
Last
Picture
Show,是因为影院老板认为它比较合适。故选D项。]
7.What
will
probably
happen
to
the
building?
A.It
will
be
repaired.
B.It
will
be
turned
into
a
museum.
C.It
will
be
knocked
down.
D.It
will
be
sold
to
the
city
government.
C [推理判断题。根据第四段中的“...which
plans
to
build
a
shopping
complex
on
the
land
where
the
theatre
is
located.”可知,Bradford把楼和地卖给了一家当地的开发公司,这家公司打算在这个地方建一家购物中心,由此可以推断出,这个楼会被拆除(be
knocked
down),选C项。]
8.What
can
we
infer
about
the
audience?
A.They
are
disappointed
with
Bradford.
B.They
are
sad
to
part
with
the
old
theatre.
C.They
are
supportive
of
the
city
officials.
D.They
are
eager
to
have
a
shopping
centre.
B [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Though
the
movie
is
30
years
old,most
of
the
250
seats
were
filled
with
teary?eyed
audience
wanting
to
say
good?bye
to
the
old
building.”可知,观众对电影院很有感情,挥泪告别这座老建筑,故选B项。]
Ⅲ.阅读七选五
Tips
for
Healthy,White
Teeth
·Go
on
a
white?teeth
diet.If
you're
quaffing(畅饮)red
wine
and
black
tea,or
smoking
cigarettes,expect
the
results
to
show
up
as
not?so?pearly
whites.
·Throw
away
your
toothbrush
or
electric
toothbrush
head
every
two
to
three
months.
1
According
to
dentist
Harold
Katz,the
best
way
to
brush
is
by
placing
your
toothbrush
at
a
45?degree
angle
against
your
gums(牙龈)and
gently
moving
it
in
a
circular
motion.Grip
the
toothbrush
like
a
pencil
so
you
won't
scrub(刷洗)too
hard.
·Use
a
tongue
scraper(刮刀)every
morning
to
remove
tongue
plaque(舌斑)and
freshen
breath.One
cause
of
bad
breath
is
the
build?up
of
bacteria
on
the
tongue,which
a
daily
tongue
scraping
will
help
banish(清除).
2
·Eat
“detergent(清洁剂)”
foods
that
are
firm
or
crisp
to
help
clean
teeth
as
you
munch(咀嚼).
3
For
best
results,make
“detergent”
foods
the
final
food
you
eat
in
your
meal
if
you
know
you
won't
be
able
to
brush
your
teeth
after
eating.
·Stay
fresh.Check
by
licking(舔)
your
palm
and
smelling
it
while
it's
wet.If
you
smell
something,it's
time
for
a
sugar?free
breath
mint(薄荷).Shopping
for
mouthwash?
4
Mouthwashes
with
too
much
alcohol
can
dry
out
mouth
tissue,making
it
more
prone(易于)to
bacteria.
·Brushing
your
teeth
first
and
last
are
the
two
most
crucial
times
of
the
day,as
saliva(唾液)which
keeps
plaque
off
teeth,dries
up
at
night,so
it's
best
to
have
all
plaque
cleaned
off
the
teeth
before
sleep.
5
A.Make
sure
it's
alcohol
free.
B.Apples
are
good,as
are
raw
carrots,celery
and
popcorn.
C.Otherwise,you're
just
transferring
bacteria
to
your
mouth.
D.However,the
bacteria
won't
be
staying
on
the
top
of
your
tongue.
E.It's
more
effective
than
brushing
your
tongue
with
a
toothbrush
too.
F.When
you
sleep
without
bacteria
in
your
mouth,you
will
feel
much
better.
G.It's
also
important
to
brush
first
in
the
morning
to
remove
plaque
and
bacteria
built
up
as
you
slept.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了六条保持牙齿洁白、健康的建议。
1.C [根据此空前“Throw
away
your
toothbrush...every
two
to
three
months.”可知,每隔两到三个月要换一次牙刷,本空应说明这样做的原因。C项“否则你就是在把细菌转移到嘴巴里。”符合语境。]
2.E [根据空前的“One
cause
of
bad
breath...which
a
daily
tongue
scraping
will
help
banish(清除).”可知,刮舌板有助于有效清除舌头上堆积的细菌,故此处描述的是刮舌板的益处。E项意为“这比用牙刷刷你的舌面更加有效”,符合上下文逻辑。其中it
指代“Use
a
tongue
scraper(刮刀)every
morning...”这件事。]
3.B [根据空前建议吃有清洁作用的硬的或脆的食物,可以边咀嚼边清洗牙齿可知,此段应涉及所吃的食物。只有B项中出现了食物。故选B项。]
4.A [根据本空后“Mouthwashes
with
too
much
alcohol
can
dry
out
mouth
tissue...”可知,此处应是建议使用不含酒精的漱口水。故选A项。]
5.G [根据最后一段,建议起床后第一件事和睡觉前最后一件事是刷牙,以及本空前描述要在睡觉前刷牙可知,此处应该是早晨起来也要刷牙。G项意为“同样重要的是早晨起来先刷牙,以此来清除夜间睡觉堆积起来的牙菌斑和细菌”,符合逻辑。故选G项。]

B
I
work
with
Volunteers
for
Wildlife,a
rescue
and
education
organization
at
Bailey
Arboretum
in
Locust
Valley.Trying
to
help
injured,displaced
or
sick
creatures
can
be
heartbreaking;survival
is
never
certain.However,when
it
works,it
is
simply
beautiful.
I
got
a
rescue
call
from
a
woman
in
Muttontown.She
had
found
a
young
owl(猫头鹰)on
the
ground.When
I
arrived,I
saw
a
2?to
3?week?old
owl.It
had
already
been
placed
in
a
carrier
for
safety.
I
examined
the
chick(雏鸟)and
it
seemed
fine.If
I
could
locate
the
nest,I
might
have
been
able
to
put
it
back,but
no
luck.My
next
work
was
to
construct
a
nest
and
anchor
it
in
a
tree.
The
homeowner
was
very
helpful.A
wire
basket
was
found.I
put
some
pine
branches
into
the
basket
to
make
this
nest
safe
and
comfortable.I
placed
the
chick
in
the
nest,and
it
quickly
calmed
down.
Now
all
that
was
needed
were
the
parents,but
they
were
absent.I
gave
the
homeowner
a
recording
of
the
hunger
screams
of
owl
chicks.These
advertise
the
presence
of
chicks
to
adults;they
might
also
encourage
our
chick
to
start
calling
as
well.I
gave
the
owner
as
much
information
as
possible
and
headed
home
to
see
what
news
the
night
might
bring.
A
nervous
night
to
be
sure,but
sometimes
the
spirits
of
nature
smile
on
us
all!
The
homeowner
called
to
say
that
the
parents
had
responded
to
the
recordings.I
drove
over
and
saw
the
chick
in
the
nest
looking
healthy
and
active.And
it
was
accompanied
in
the
nest
by
the
greatest
sight
of
all
—
LUNCH!
The
parents
had
done
their
duty
and
would
probably
continue
to
do
so.

Preparing
Cities
for
Robot
Cars
The
possibility
of
self?driving
robot
cars
has
often
seemed
like
a
futurist's
dream,years
away
from
materializing
in
the
real
world.Well,the
future
is
apparently
now.The
California
Department
of
Motor
Vehicles
began
giving
permits
in
April
for
companies
to
test
truly
self?driving
cars
on
public
roads.The
state
also
cleared
the
way
for
companies
to
sell
or
rent
out
self?driving
cars,and
for
companies
to
operate
driverless
taxi
services.California,it
should
be
noted,isn't
leading
the
way
panies
have
been
testing
their
vehicles
in
cities
across
the
country.It's
hard
to
predict
when
driverless
cars
will
be
everywhere
on
our
roads.But
however
long
it
takes,the
technology
has
the
potential
to
change
our
transportation
systems
and
our
cities,for
better
or
for
worse,depending
on
how
the
transformation
is
regulated.
While
much
of
the
debate
so
far
has
been
focused
on
the
safety
of
driverless
cars
(and
rightfully
so),policymakers
also
should
be
talking
about
how
self?driving
vehicles
can
help
reduce
traffic
jams,cut
emissions(排放)
and
offer
more
convenient,affordable
mobility
options.The
arrival
of
driverless
vehicles
is
a
chance
to
make
sure
that
those
vehicles
are
environmentally
friendly
and
more
shared.
Do
we
want
to
copy
—
or
even
worsen
—
the
traffic
of
today
with
driverless
cars?
Imagine
a
future
where
most
adults
own
individual
self?driving
vehicles.They
tolerate
long,slow
journeys
to
and
from
work
on
packed
highways
because
they
can
work,entertain
themselves
or
sleep
on
the
ride,which
encourages
urban
spread.They
take
their
driverless
cars
to
an
appointment
and
set
the
empty
vehicle
to
circle
the
building
to
avoid
paying
for
parking.Instead
of
walking
a
few
blocks
to
pick
up
a
child
or
the
dry
cleaning,they
send
the
self?driving
minibus.The
convenience
even
leads
fewer
people
to
take
public
transport
—
an
unwelcome
side
effect
researchers
have
already
found
in
ride?hailing(叫车)
services.
A
study
from
the
University
of
California
,
Davis
suggested
that
replacing
petrol?powered
private
cars
worldwide
with
electric,self?driving
and
shared
systems
could
reduce
carbon
emissions
from
transportation
80%
and
cut
the
cost
of
transportation
infrastructure(基础设施)and
operations
40%
by
2050.Fewer
emissions
and
cheaper
travel
sound
pretty
appealing.The
first
commercially
available
driverless
cars
will
almost
certainly
be
fielded
by
ride?hailing
services,considering
the
cost
of
self?driving
technology
as
well
as
liability
and
maintenance
issues(责任与维护问题).But
driverless
car
ownership
could
increase
as
the
prices
drop
and
more
people
become
comfortable
with
the
technology.
Policymakers
should
start
thinking
now
about
how
to
make
sure
the
appearance
of
driverless
vehicles
doesn't
extend
the
worst
aspects
of
the
car?controlled
transportation
system
we
have
today.The
coming
technological
advancement
presents
a
chance
for
cities
and
states
to
develop
transportation
systems
designed
to
move
more
people,
and
more
affordably.The
car
of
the
future
is
coming.We
just
have
to
plan
for
it.

D
Futurologists(未来学家)predict
that
life
will
probably
be
very
different
in
2050
in
all
the
fields
of
activity,from
entertainment
to
technology.First
of
all,it
seems
that
TV
channels
will
have
disappeared
by
2050.Instead,people
will
choose
a
programme
from
a
“menu”(菜单)and
a
computer
will
send
the
programme
directly
to
the
television.Today,we
can
use
the
World
Wide
Web
to
read
newspaper
stories
and
see
pictures
on
a
computer
thousands
of
kilometres
away.By
2050,music,films,programmes,newspapers
and
books
will
come
to
us
by
computer.We
will
also
be
able
to
see,smell
and
touch
the
things
that
we
see
on
television.
In
transport,cars
will
run
on
new,clean
“gas”
and
they
will
go
very
fast.Cars
will
have
computers
to
control
the
speed
of
the
car
and
there
won't
be
any
accidents.Today,many
cars
have
computers
that
tell
drivers
exactly
where
they
are.By
2050,the
computer
will
control
the
car
and
drive
it
to
where
you
want
to
go.Space
planes
will
fly
all
over
the
world
and
people
will
fly
from
Los
Angeles
to
Tokyo
in
just
two
hours.
In
technology,robots
will
have
replaced
people
in
factories.Many
factories
already
use
robots.Big
companies
prefer
robots
—
they
do
not
ask
for
pay
rises
or
go
on
strike,and
they
work
24
hours
a
day.By
2050,we
will
see
robots
everywhere
—
in
factories,schools,offices,hospitals,shops
and
homes.
Last
but
not
least,medicine
technology
will
have
conquered
many
diseases.By
2050,we
will
be
able
to
help
blind
and
deaf
people
see
again
and
hear
again.Scientists
will
be
able
to
produce
clones
of
people
and
decide
how
they
look,how
they
behave
and
how
much
intelligence
they
have.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Empathy,the
Key
to
Being
Kind
In
science
class,your
teacher
tells
everyone
to
find
a
partner
for
a
project.Out
of
the
corner
of
your
eye,you
notice
one
girl
sitting
alone
and
not
making
eye
contact
with
anyone.You
think
about
asking
her
to
be
your
partner,but
you're
afraid
people
will
think
you're
uncool.You
don't
reach
out
to
them.
16
Empathy
is
being
able
to
understand
and
actually
feel
what
someone
else
is
feeling.For
some
people,this
comes
naturally;for
others,it
takes
a
bit
more
work.
17
When
you
practice
being
empathetic,it
gets
easier
to
make
kindness
part
of
your
everyday
life.If
you
can
understand
why
people
are
feeling
down,you'll
want
to
help
them.Here
are
some
ideas
that
can
help
you.
18
Not
being
able
to
find
a
group
in
class
might
not
seem
like
a
big
deal
—
but
part
of
being
kind
is
noticing
when
someone
seems
sad,hurt
or
uncomfortable.After
all,you
have
to
notice
how
people
feel
in
order
to
feel
empathy
and
want
to
help
them!
When
you're
trying
to
make
kindness
second
nature,really
getting
other
people's
feelings
is
important.
19
Think
about
a
time
when
you
felt
that
way.Didn't
you
wish
someone
would
reach
out
to
you?
If
someone
had
offered
you
a
few
words
of
comfort,wouldn't
it
have
made
you
feel
so
much
happier?
So,when
you
find
people
around
you
who
are
feeling
down
next
time,do
not
hesitate
to
put
yourself
in
their
shoes
and
reach
out
to
them
with
a
kind
gesture.
20
There
is
always
a
time
when
you
expect
others
to
relate
to
you
and
feel
what
you
feel.
A.And
your
kindness
will
be
finally
rewarded.
B.But
empathy
is
super
important
to
being
kind.
C.Be
open
to
learning
more
about
what
you
don't
understand.
D.One
way
to
practice
empathy
is
to
pay
attention
to
the
people
around
you.
E.However,you
never
know
showing
empathy
may
make
all
the
difference
to
her.
F.You
don't
have
to
have
a
similar
background
to
someone
else
to
feel
empathy
for
them.
G.Whenever
you
find
someone
might
be
feeling
lonely
or
sad,put
yourself
in
his
shoes.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“移情”的作用和定义,并介绍了如何让自己更好地帮助别人、理解别人。
16.E [分析文章结构可知,本空用来引入本文的话题,在这里起到承上启下的作用。结合标题“Empathy,the
Key
to
Being
Kind”可知,空处说明你可以通过“移情”解决问题,引出对“移情”的作用的介绍,所以选E项。]
17.B [根据空后一句中的“it
gets
easier
to
make
kindness
part
of
your
everyday
life”可以判断,“移情”对使善良成为每日生活的一部分非常重要,故B项正确。]
18.D [根据本段内容可知,本段介绍的是如何实现“移情”;结合本段尾句可知,本段主要陈述“关注周围的人”这一方法,故D项正确。]
19.G [根据空前的“really
getting
other
people's
feelings”和空后的“Think
about
a
time
when
you
felt
that
way.”可知,理解别人的情感十分重要,据此可以判断,G项与此处匹配。]
20.A [根据空前一句中的“do
not
hesitate...with
a
kind
gesture”及空后一句可知,当你遇到沮丧的人时,应当毫不犹豫地设身处地为他们着想并伸出援助之手,因为总会有一些时候,你也期待别人能理解你。据此可以判断,A项符合语境。]
Ⅲ.完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
Mary,16,was
suffering
from
cancer.As
a
father,Mitchell
always
stayed
home
to
care
for
her.He
said
the
21
left
them
financially
worse
off.Then
a
group
called
Growing
Hope
22
in
with
$1,800
to
help
with
his
living
costs.
23
,he
wanted
to
pay
it
back.In
his
youth,he
had
been
a
24
.So
at
age
40,Mitchell
took
up
the
25
again,participating
in
two
fights
in
Fairfax.During
this
time,he
26
his
daughter.And
for
six
months,he
did
little
but
mourn.
One
day,Mitchell
27
a
Mark
Twain
quote
—
The
two
most
important
days
in
your
life
are
the
day
you
are
born,and
the
day
you
28
why.“After
I
read
that
quote,I
was
going
to
spend
the
29
of
my
life
helping
kids
with
cancer
and
their
families,”
he
said.
Mitchell
thought
of
creating
a
foundation,yet
boxing
did
not
seem
practical
anymore
for
fundraising,due
to
his
age.Then
he
found
that
30
could
be
a
source
to
raise
money.In
the
Corps
Marathon,he
cut
a
striking
figure
on
the
course.
31
by
this
success,he
set
his
sight
higher.He
32
each
of
the
miles
of
the
race
to
a
different
child
with
cancer,and
he
carried
their
33
with
him.Years
after
his
daughter's
death,Mitchell
now
34
up
in
the
morning
knowing
his
35
.

36.crowds [考查名词复数。crowd是可数名词,且前面没有限定词,故应用复数形式。]
37.from [考查介词。travel

Dear
Peter,
I'm
writing
to
discuss
with
you
about
wildlife
protection.As
we
know,some
wildlife
is
in
danger
due
to
environmental
destruction
and
many
wild
animals
are
on
the
edge
of
extinction
because
of
hunting.
Though
it's
necessary
to
take
measures
to
help
those
animals,the
measures
are
difficult
to
carry
out.Firstly,many
people
lack
the
awareness
of
wildlife
protection,resulting
in
hunting
the
animals
illegally.Besides,few
people
are
willing
to
provide
money
for
animal
protection
as
they
think
it
is
of
no
use
to
them.
In
my
opinion,the
government
should
make
more
laws
to
protect
wildlife.Last
but
not
least,I
think
it
is
everyone's
duty
to
protect
wildlife.
I'm
looking
forward
to
your
reply.
Yours,

Ⅵ.概要写作(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。
Advertising
plays
a
major
role
in
the
competitive
business
world.Many
industries
take
advantage
of
the
power
of
advertising
to
attract
or
to
win
customers
away
from
their
business
competitors.The
influence
of
advertising
is
so
huge
that
it
causes
many
people
to
buy
things
that
they
don't
want
at
the
start.
Advertising
encourages
people
to
buy
things
they
don't
want
through
misleading
ideas.Advertising
is
proven
to
be
a
successful
tool
to
stress
the
features
of
their
products
to
the
public
even
though
it's
regarded
undesirable
such
as
cigarettes,drugs,alcohol
and
so
on.For
example,Dunhill,a
cigarette
company
which
sponsors
many
football
teams,seems
to
be
promoting
cigarettes
to
the
public.Without
the
sponsorship,the
company
will
be
less
known
to
the
public,resulting
in
fewer
sales
of
cigarettes.
Besides
that,advertising
has
a
large
influence
on
the
decisions
made
by
the
people
in
their
everyday
life.Many
businesses
use
advertising
as
a
form
of
promoting
to
create
awareness
about
their
products
in
the
market.For
instance,in
a
fast
food
industry,the
introduction
of
a
new
flavor
of
burger
needs
advertising
to
reach
the
public
while
the
other
burgers
require
advertising
to
increase
sales.Children,especially,are
easily
influenced
by
advertisements
and
will
have
the
desire
to
dine
at
fast
food
restaurants
after
that.Although
fast
food
is
bad
for
health,it
has
successfully
become
appealing
to
the
public
through
advertising.
However,advertising
plays
a
part
in
helping
customers
to
compare
a
product
in
terms
of
price,quality,reliability
and
so
on.Without
advertising,it
will
be
very
difficult
for
customers
to
judge
the
worthiness
of
a
product.For
example,advertisements
published
by
various
companies
have
given
the
customers
the
opportunity
to
choose
wisely
when
they
are
purchasing
an
item.Without
the
power
of
advertising,customers
will
be
stuck
to
a
brand
which
may
not
offer
the
best
choice.
【参考范文】
Advertising
is
essential
to
many
companies
and
serves
as
an
instrument
to
appeal
to
customers.(要点1)Advertising,tempting
customers
into
buying
products
sometimes
unfavorable,turns
out
to
promote
the
sales.(要点2)But
for
advertising,people
might
not
have
acquainted
themselves
with
the
products.(要点3)To
its
credit,people
can
make
decisions
more
wisely
by
contrast.(要点4)
