These
days
picture
news
is
very
popular
with
young
people.Here
is
some
news
chosen
from
the
Internet
by
Jack.Read
on
to
find
out
which
one
you
like
best.
★SPRING
is
coming,together
with
butterflies!On
March
31,the
Natural
History
Museum
in
London,the
UK,had
a
butterfly
show.Children
came
over
and
played
with
these
beautiful
creatures.They
also
got
to
know
how
butterflies
grow
up.Colourful
butterflies
flew
freely
at
the
show.They
sometimes
landed
on
visitors.Look!A
large
blue
butterfly
sits
on
the
nose
of
the
girl.
★Earlier
in
April
2014,Sanlian
Taofen
Bookstore
became
the
first
24-hour
bookstore
in
Beijing.It
hoped
to
encourage
more
people
to
read
books.
“We
welcome
everyone
who
loves
to
read
books
at
any
time.”
The
general
manager
of
the
store
told
China
Youth
Daily.
Although
many
people
can
now
buy
books
online,many
readers
still
like
the
feeling
in
bookstores.They
can
touch
the
books
and
smell
the
print.
★
In
recent
years,many
children
in
the
UK
have
had
a
new
language
to
study:Chinese.
Students
aged
7-11
in
the
UK
need
to
study
one
of
seven
foreign
languages.They
can
choose
from
French,German,Spanish,Italian,Latin,Greek
and
Chinese.
The
British
government
is
offering
to
train
a
group
of
Chinese-language
teachers.They
will
teach
Chinese
to
more
than
3,000
primary
school
students.
China
and
the
UK
work
together
in
many
fields.So
it’s
important
that
the
future
generation(一代人)
can
speak
Chinese.

Mike
Myers
is
a
teacher
at
Chauncey
Rose
High
School
in
Terre
Haute,Indiana.Last
year,he
taught
his
students
about
the
world’s
rainforests.They
learned
that
rainforests
are
important
because
the
plants
and
animals
of
the
rainforests
give
us
food,wood,and
medicine.
Destruction
of
the
world’s
rainforests
is
a
serious
problem.Unluckily,rainforests
are
disappearing
at
a
rate
of
80
acres
per
minute!As
part
of
a
class
project,Myers’
students
bought
three
acres
of
the
rainforest
in
Central
America.They
paid
$25
per
acre.The
students
hope
that
the
land
they
bought
will
be
protected
and
not
destroyed.The
students
became
so
interested
in
rainforests
that
they
decided
to
get
a
closer
look
at
a
real
rainforest.
So
last
June,Myers
and
four
of
his
students
took
a
boat
ride
down
a
river.They
saw
alligators
and
crocodiles.In
the
middle
of
the
week,a
guide
took
Myers
and
his
students
into
the
rainforest.“The
monkeys
were
not
happy
that
we
were
in
their
forest.They
broke
small
branches
off
the
trees
and
threw
them
at
us,”
one
of
the
students
said,“It
was
a
great
learning
experience
for
all
of
us,”
said
Myers.
Each
student
chose
something
specific
about
Costa
Rica
to
study
involving
the
plants,animals,food,and
culture.During
the
last
few
days
the
group
had
time
to
do
fun
activities.They
went
whitewater
rafting
and
horseback
riding,and
visited
Costa
Rica’s
active
volcano.
Myers
hopes
to
make
the
trip
every
year
with
a
different
group
of
kids.

For
Canaan
Elementary’s
second
grade
in
Patchogue,N.Y.,today
is
speech
day,and
right
now
it’s
Chris
Palaez’s
turn.The
8-year-old
is
the
joker
of
the
class.With
shining
dark
eyes,he
seems
like
the
kind
of
kid
who
would
enjoy
public
speaking.
But
he’s
nervous.“I’m
here
to
tell
you
today
why
you
should
...
should
...”
Chris
trips
on
the
“-ld”,
a
pronunciation
difficulty
for
many
non-native
English
speakers.His
teacher,Thomas
Whaley,is
next
to
him,whispering
support.“...
Vote
for
...
me
...”
Except
for
some
stumbles,Chris
is
doing
amazingly
well.When
he
brings
his
speech
to
a
nice
conclusion,Whaley
invites
the
rest
of
the
class
to
praise
him.
A
son
of
immigrants,Chris
started
learning
English
a
little
over
three
years
ago.Whaley
recalls
(回想起)
how
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,when
called
upon
to
read,Chris
would
excuse
himself
to
go
to
the
bathroom.
Learning
English
as
a
second
language
can
be
a
painful
experience.What
you
need
is
a
great
teacher
who
lets
you
make
mistakes.“It
takes
a
lot
for
any
student,”
Whaley
explains,“especially
for
a
student
who
is
learning
English
as
their
new
language,to
feel
confident
enough
to
say,‘I
don’t
know,but
I
want
to
know.’”
Whaley
got
the
idea
of
this
second-grade
presidential
campaign
project
when
he
asked
the
children
one
day
to
raise
their
hands
if
they
thought
they
could
never
be
a
president.The
answer
broke
his
heart.Whaley
says
the
project
is
about
more
than
just
learning
to
read
and
speak
in
public.He
wants
these
kids
to
learn
to
boast
(夸耀)
about
themselves.
“Boasting
about
yourself,and
your
best
qualities,”
Whaley
says,“is
very
difficult
for
a
child
who
came
into
the
classroom
not
feeling
confident.”

Some
parents
will
buy
any
high-tech
toy
if
they
think
it
will
help
their
child,but
researchers
said
puzzles
help
children
with
math-related
skills.
Psychologist
Susan
Levine,an
expert
on
mathematics
development
in
young
children
at
the
University
of
Chicago,found
children
who
play
with
puzzles
between
ages
2
and
4
later
develop
better
spatial
skills.Puzzle
play
was
found
to
be
a
significant
predictor
of
cognition(认知)
after
controlling
for
differences
in
parents’
income,education
and
the
amount
of
parent
talk,Levine
said.
The
researchers
analyzed
video
recordings
of
53
child-parent
pairs
during
everyday
activities
at
home
and
found
children
who
play
with
puzzles
between
26
and
46
months
of
age
have
better
spatial
skills
when
assessed
at
54
months
of
age.
“The
children
who
played
with
puzzles
performed
better
than
those
who
did
not,on
tasks
that
assessed
their
ability
to
rotate(旋转)
and
translate
shapes,”Levine
said
in
a
statement.
The
parents
were
asked
to
interact
with
their
children
as
they
normally
would,and
about
half
of
the
children
in
the
study
played
with
puzzles
at
one
time.Higher-income
parents
tended
to
have
children
play
with
puzzles
more
frequently,and
both
boys
and
girls
who
played
with
puzzles
had
better
spatial
skills.However,boys
tended
to
play
with
more
complex
puzzles
than
girls,and
the
parents
of
boys
provided
more
spatial
language
and
were
more
active
during
puzzle
play
than
the
parents
of
girls.
The
findings
were
published
in
the
journal
Developmental
Science.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
HSC,mid-terms,finals,no
matter
how
you
describe
them,exams
have
something
in
common
—
including
how
to
study
well. 36 ?
Plan
a
study
timetable.
Make
sure
you
will
cover
your
material
in
time
with
a
realistic
study
timetable. 37
With
a
plan
in
place,you’ll
be
less
likely
to
put
off
your
work
as
knowing
how
you
will
use
your
time
will
also
mean
you
make
the
best
use
of
it.?
38 ?
Give
yourself
the
best
environment
by
choosing
somewhere
with
enough
light,a
comfortable
chair,and
little
to
no
distractions.Sit
down
with
all
that
you
need
—
and
only
the
things
you’ll
need
—
like
any
books,notes
or
pens,as
well
as
some
water
and
healthy
snacks
on
hand.Also
ask
what
you
don’t
need.A
rule
of
thumb
is
that
if
it
doesn’t
help
you
study,it
shouldn’t
be
on
your
desk.It
may
look
so
simple
but
is
really
effective
to
help
you
focus
on
your
study.
Keep
healthy:sleep,eat
and
move.
When
exams
come
around,somehow
there
never
seems
enough
time
for
the
basic
things
like
sleep
and
exercise.Taking
care
of
your
health
and
well-being
will
really
help
you
study
at
your
best
by
improving
your
memory,mood
and
energy
levels,and
keeping
those
stress
levels
down. 39
Eating
three
meals
and
sticking
to
healthy
snacks
throughout
the
day
will
give
you
the
energy
you
need
to
focus. 40
A
good
aim
is
20-30
minutes
of
exercise
but
even
a
walk
nearby
during
study
breaks
will
do
you
good!?
A.Focus
on
your
study.
B.Prepare
your
study
area.
C.Put
your
timetable
aside
if
it
doesn’t
work.
D.When
it
comes
to
sleep,seven
to
nine
hours
is
suggested.
E.If
you’re
feeling
a
bit
tired,try
getting
outside
for
some
fresh
air.
F.It’ll
help
you
know
where
to
start
and
what
you’re
aiming
to
achieve
for
the
day.
G.Get
ready
and
use
your
time
well
with
our
expert
advice
on
how
to
study
for
exams.
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
A
group
of
graduates,successful
in
their
careers,got
together
to
visit
their
old
university
professor.Conversation
soon
turned
into
complaint
about
stress
in
work
and
life.
Before
offering
his
guests
coffee,the
professor
went
to
the
kitchen
and
returned
with
a
large
pot
of
coffee
and
a
variety
of 41
—
porcelain,plastic,glass,crystal
(水晶),some
plain-looking
and
42 ,some
delicate
(精致的)
and
expensive
—
telling
them
to
43
themselves
to
the
coffee.?
When
all
the
students
had
a
cup
of
coffee
in
hand,the
professor
said,“If
you 44 ,all
the
nice-looking
and
expensive
cups
were
45 ,leaving
behind
the
plain
and
cheap
ones.While
it
is
46
for
you
to
want
only
the
best
for
yourselves,that
is
the
47
of
your
problems
and
stress.It
is
definite
that
the
cup
itself
adds
no
quality
to
the
coffee. 48
all
of
you
really
wanted
was
coffee,not
the
cup,but
you
all
went
for
the
49
cups.And
then

The
year
was

and
I
and
our
nine-month-old
baby,Pam,moved
from
St.Louis
to
Fort
Worth,Texas.We
found
a
56
(love)
apartment
and
settled
in
quickly.One
chilly
morning,I
57
(head)
for
the
laundromat
(洗衣店).I
turned
58
the
engine
of
our
car
59
(warm)
up
the
car
and
put
Pam
in
her
car
seat, 60

was
in

locked
the
car
door.Then
I
put
the
basket
of
laundry
in
the
back
seat
and
locked
the
other
door. 61
(sudden),I
realized
I
had
locked
the
62
(key)
and
my
baby
in
the
car
and
locked
63
(I)
out.I
immediately
went
into
panic
mode.My
neighbors
had
gone
to
work,and
there
were
no
cell
phones
back
then.As
I
looked
up
the
street,I
saw
a
red
Ford
pickup
64
(drive)
toward
me.The
driver
stopped
when
he
saw
me
crying
and
waving
my
hands.The
man
on
the
passenger
side
of
the
truck
got
out
and
said,“I
have
a

just
like
this
one;let
me
see
if

It

have

She
got
up
early
to
be
ready
for
the
post.From
the
second
floor
of
the
flat
she
could
see
the
postman
when
he
came
down
the
street,and
the
little
boy,Johnnie,from
the
ground
floor
brought
up
her
letters
on
rare
occasions
when
anything
came.
Today
she
was
sure
there
would
be
something.Her
daughter,Myra,wouldn’t
forget
her
birthday,even
if
Myra
seldom
wrote
at
other
times.Of
course,Myra
was
busy.The
old
lady
was
proud
of
Myra,who
was
successful
both
in
her
company
and
family.
The
old
lady
was
eighty
today.She
had
put
on
her
best
dress.Perhaps
Myra
might
come.After
all,eighty
was
a
special
birthday.
Even
if
Myra
did
not
come,she
would
send
a
present.The
old
lady
was
sure
of
that.Two
spots
of
color
brightened
her
cheeks.She
was
excited—like
a
child.She
would
enjoy
her
day.
Mrs.Morison
upstairs
had
brought
a
card
and
a
bunch
of
flowers
to
her.Mrs.Grant
downstairs
had
made
a
cake,and
in
the
afternoon
she
was
going
down
there
to
tea.Johnnie
had
brought
up
with
a
packet
of
sweets,and
said
he
wouldn’t
go
out
to
play
until
the
post
had
come.“I
guess
you’ll
get
lots
of
presents.”
he
said.
What
would
she
like?A
pair
of
comfortable
shoes
perhaps.Or
a
new
coat.A
coat
would
be
lovely.Blue
is
such
a
pretty
color.Or
a
table
lamp.Or
a
book,a
travel
book,with
pictures.Or
a
little
clock,with
clear
black
numbers.So
many
lovely
things.

W:One
day
I’d
like
to
buy
an
electric
car.They’re
much
cleaner
than
petrol
cars.But
I’m
not
sure
if
I’ll
see
many
on
the
road
in
the
near
future.
M:But
you
can
already
buy
them.
W:Really?
M:Sure,and
they
have
the
most
powerful
type
of
engine.Unfortunately
they’re
much
more
expensive
than
petrol
cars.But
what
makes
me
anxious
is
that
when
they’re
cheaper,more
people
will
buy
them.With
more
cars
on
the
road,we’ll
have
more
traffic
jams,especially
at
eight
in
the
morning.It’s
the
worst
time
of
the
day.
W:Yes.I
try
to
avoid
the
rush
hour
now.I
leave
home
before
seven.
M:In
Melbourne,drivers
are
not
allowed
to
park
cars
along
busy
roads
during
rush
hours
to
create
an
extra
passage
for
traffic.This
town
needs
better
public
transport.The
buses
don’t
go
to
the
right
places.And
they
are
always
late.Last
week
I
waited
for
a
No.29
bus
for
over
an
hour.
10.For

think
this
town
needs
to
do?

the
roads.
B.Limit
the
number
of
cars.
C.Improve
public
transport.

W:Zoltan,you’re
studying
snakes
all
around
the
world.So,you
have
to
travel
a
lot.Do
you
ever
take
holidays?
M:No,not
often.My
work
is
also
my
hobby.I’ve
been
to
Paris,Rome,and
the
Pyramids
in
Cairo.I
went
sightseeing
there
but
it
was
always
because
my
work
took
me
there.For
my
last
trip
I
was
in
Sudan
and
I
went
to
look
for
snakes.
W:But
you
must
take
a
holiday
sometimes?
M:Well,once
or
twice
I
have
travelled
to
places
not
connected
to
snakes.For
example,I
spent
a
holiday
in
the
Seychelles
with
some
friends.They
enjoyed
the
beach
and
the
markets
while
I
went
diving
with
my
underwater
camera.
W:Is
that
your
most
important
thing
when
you
travel—your
camera?
M:Yes,my
camera
and
my
sleeping
bag.With
a
sleeping
bag,you
can
sleep
anywhere
you
want.
W:So,do
you
ever
stay
in
hotels?
M:If
I
go
with
friends,I
might
stay
at
a
hotel
or
a
guesthouse,but
normally
I’m
on
my
own
so
I
rarely
book
a
hotel
in
advance.I
can
fall
asleep
in
a
sleeping
bag
anytime
and
everywhere.

here
at
the

training
programmes.To
begin
with,we
expect
you
to
attend
team
meetings.These
take
place
in
the
last

of
each
term.They
will
give
you
the
chance
to
share
experience
with
colleagues,discuss
problems
and
inform
us
of
any
training
requirements.If
training
is
required,the
college
will
pay
the
costs.The
members
of
staff
who
attend
training

be
asked
to

The
all-college

days
take

twice
a

and
are
held
over
an
entire

of
staff
can
choose
from
kinds
of
events
the
ones
they’d

lot
of
fresh
information
through
them.Most
importantly,our
all-college
training
programmes
make
sure
our
students
get
excellent
service
from
us.Finally,each
team
will
be
given
the
chance
to
enjoy
an
“away
day”.These
are
full-day
events,sometimes
held
at
a
hotel
or
a
holiday
centre.However,most
teams
like
to
spend
the
day
doing
activities
such
as
ice-skating,or
rock
climbing,so
we
plan
to
spend
the
“away
day”
in
the
Forest
Park
this
year.And
the
college
covers
all
the
costs
for
these
events.17.How
often
do
team
meetings
take
place?
A.Once
a
term.
B.Once
a
week.
C.Twice
a
year.

★SPRING
is
coming,together
with
butterflies!On
March
31,the
Natural
History
Museum
in
London,the
UK,had
a
butterfly
show.Children
came
over
and
played
with
these
beautiful
creatures.They
also
got
to
know
how
butterflies
grow
up.Colourful
butterflies
flew
freely
at
the
show.They
sometimes
landed
on
visitors.Look!A
large
blue
butterfly
sits
on
the
nose
of
the
girl.
★Earlier
in
April
2014,Sanlian
Taofen
Bookstore
became
the
first
24-hour
bookstore
in
Beijing.It
hoped
to
encourage
more
people
to
read
books.
“We
welcome
everyone
who
loves
to
read
books
at
any
time.”
The
general
manager
of
the
store
told
China
Youth
Daily.
Although
many
people
can
now
buy
books
online,many
readers
still
like
the
feeling
in
bookstores.They
can
touch
the
books
and
smell
the
print.
★
In
recent
years,many
children
in
the
UK
have
had
a
new
language
to
study:Chinese.
Students
aged
7-11
in
the
UK
need
to
study
one
of
seven
foreign
languages.They
can
choose
from
French,German,Spanish,Italian,Latin,Greek
and
Chinese.
The
British
government
is
offering
to
train
a
group
of
Chinese-language
teachers.They
will
teach
Chinese
to
more
than
3,000
primary
school
students.
China
and
the
UK
work
together
in
many
fields.So
it’s
important
that
the
future
generation(一代人)
can
speak
Chinese.

Mike
Myers
is
a
teacher
at
Chauncey
Rose
High
School
in
Terre
Haute,Indiana.Last
year,he
taught
his
students
about
the
world’s
rainforests.They
learned
that
rainforests
are
important
because
the
plants
and
animals
of
the
rainforests
give
us
food,wood,and
medicine.
Destruction
of
the
world’s
rainforests
is
a
serious
problem.Unluckily,rainforests
are
disappearing
at
a
rate
of
80
acres
per
minute!As
part
of
a
class
project,Myers’
students
bought
three
acres
of
the
rainforest
in
Central
America.They
paid
$25
per
acre.The
students
hope
that
the
land
they
bought
will
be
protected
and
not
destroyed.The
students
became
so
interested
in
rainforests
that
they
decided
to
get
a
closer
look
at
a
real
rainforest.
So
last
June,Myers
and
four
of
his
students
took
a
boat
ride
down
a
river.They
saw
alligators
and
crocodiles.In
the
middle
of
the
week,a
guide
took
Myers
and
his
students
into
the
rainforest.“The
monkeys
were
not
happy
that
we
were
in
their
forest.They
broke
small
branches
off
the
trees
and
threw
them
at
us,”
one
of
the
students
said,“It
was
a
great
learning
experience
for
all
of
us,”
said
Myers.
Each
student
chose
something
specific
about
Costa
Rica
to
study
involving
the
plants,animals,food,and
culture.During
the
last
few
days
the
group
had
time
to
do
fun
activities.They
went
whitewater
rafting
and
horseback
riding,and
visited
Costa
Rica’s
active
volcano.
Myers
hopes
to
make
the
trip
every
year
with
a
different
group
of
kids.

C
For
Canaan
Elementary’s
second
grade
in
Patchogue,N.Y.,today
is
speech
day,and
right
now
it’s
Chris
Palaez’s
turn.The
8-year-old
is
the
joker
of
the
class.With
shining
dark
eyes,he
seems
like
the
kind
of
kid
who
would
enjoy
public
speaking.
But
he’s
nervous.“I’m
here
to
tell
you
today
why
you
should
...
should
...”
Chris
trips
on
the
“-ld”,
a
pronunciation
difficulty
for
many
non-native
English
speakers.His
teacher,Thomas
Whaley,is
next
to
him,whispering
support.“...
Vote
for
...
me
...”
Except
for
some
stumbles,Chris
is
doing
amazingly
well.When
he
brings
his
speech
to
a
nice
conclusion,Whaley
invites
the
rest
of
the
class
to
praise
him.
A
son
of
immigrants,Chris
started
learning
English
a
little
over
three
years
ago.Whaley
recalls
(回想起)
how
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,when
called
upon
to
read,Chris
would
excuse
himself
to
go
to
the
bathroom.
Learning
English
as
a
second
language
can
be
a
painful
experience.What
you
need
is
a
great
teacher
who
lets
you
make
mistakes.“It
takes
a
lot
for
any
student,”
Whaley
explains,“especially
for
a
student
who
is
learning
English
as
their
new
language,to
feel
confident
enough
to
say,‘I
don’t
know,but
I
want
to
know.’”
Whaley
got
the
idea
of
this
second-grade
presidential
campaign
project
when
he
asked
the
children
one
day
to
raise
their
hands
if
they
thought
they
could
never
be
a
president.The
answer
broke
his
heart.Whaley
says
the
project
is
about
more
than
just
learning
to
read
and
speak
in
public.He
wants
these
kids
to
learn
to
boast
(夸耀)
about
themselves.
“Boasting
about
yourself,and
your
best
qualities,”
Whaley
says,“is
very
difficult
for
a
child
who
came
into
the
classroom
not
feeling
confident.”
【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了小学教师Whaley通过组织学生演讲来帮助学生增强自信的教学实践。
28.What
made
Chris
nervous?
A.Telling
a
story.
B.Making
a
speech.
C.Taking
a
test.
D.Answering
a
question.
答案B
解析根据题干中的关键词nervous可直接定位到第二段第一句,然后找他紧张的原因,应继续从前文中找信息句。根据第一段中的“...today
is
speech
day,and
right
now
it’s
Chris
Palaez’s
turn.”和“...he
seems
like
the
kind
of
kid
who
would
enjoy
public
speaking.”可知,今天是演讲日,现在轮到了Chris,虽然他看起来是那种喜欢在公众场合演讲的孩子,但是他很紧张。由此可知,演讲使Chris很紧张。
29.What
does
the
underlined
word
“stumbles”
in
paragraph
2
refer
to?
A.Improper
pauses.
B.Bad
manners.
C.Spelling
mistakes.
D.Silly
jokes.
答案A
解析根据第二段中的“you
should
...
should...”以及“...Vote
for
...
me
...”这样的语句特点可知,Chris的演讲不流畅,也就是有不恰当的停顿。故选A项。
30.We
can
infer
that
the
purpose
of
Whaley’s
project
is
to
.?
A.help
students
see
their
own
strengths
B.assess
students’
public
speaking
skills
C.prepare
students
for
their
future
jobs
D.inspire
students’
love
for
politics
答案A
解析根据倒数第二段中的“Whaley
says
the
project
is
about
more
than
just
learning
to
read
and
speak
in
public.He
wants
these
kids
to
learn
to
boast
about
themselves.”可知,Whaley创办“总统竞选”项目的目的不仅仅是让学生学习在公共场合阅读和演讲,他还想帮助学生看到自己的优势。
31.Which
of
the
following
best
describes
Whaley
as
a
teacher?
A.Humorous.
B.Ambitious.
C.Caring.
D.Demanding.
答案C
解析文章介绍了Whaley老师通过创办“总统竞选”的演讲项目,组织学生演讲来帮助学生增强自信。根据第二段中的“His
teacher,Thomas
Whaley,is
next
to
him,whispering
support.”“...Whaley
invites
the
rest
of
the
class
to
praise
him.”等细节也可看出Whaley老师很关心学生。
D
Some
parents
will
buy
any
high-tech
toy
if
they
think
it
will
help
their
child,but
researchers
said
puzzles
help
children
with
math-related
skills.
Psychologist
Susan
Levine,an
expert
on
mathematics
development
in
young
children
at
the
University
of
Chicago,found
children
who
play
with
puzzles
between
ages
2
and
4
later
develop
better
spatial
skills.Puzzle
play
was
found
to
be
a
significant
predictor
of
cognition(认知)
after
controlling
for
differences
in
parents’
income,education
and
the
amount
of
parent
talk,Levine
said.
The
researchers
analyzed
video
recordings
of
53
child-parent
pairs
during
everyday
activities
at
home
and
found
children
who
play
with
puzzles
between
26
and
46
months
of
age
have
better
spatial
skills
when
assessed
at
54
months
of
age.
“The
children
who
played
with
puzzles
performed
better
than
those
who
did
not,on
tasks
that
assessed
their
ability
to
rotate(旋转)
and
translate
shapes,”Levine
said
in
a
statement.
The
parents
were
asked
to
interact
with
their
children
as
they
normally
would,and
about
half
of
the
children
in
the
study
played
with
puzzles
at
one
time.Higher-income
parents
tended
to
have
children
play
with
puzzles
more
frequently,and
both
boys
and
girls
who
played
with
puzzles
had
better
spatial
skills.However,boys
tended
to
play
with
more
complex
puzzles
than
girls,and
the
parents
of
boys
provided
more
spatial
language
and
were
more
active
during
puzzle
play
than
the
parents
of
girls.
The
findings
were
published
in
the
journal
Developmental
Science.
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。研究人员发现,玩拼图游戏能帮助孩子们掌握与数学相关的技能,尤其是空间想象技能。

children
benefit
from
puzzle
play?
A.Building
confidence.
B.Developing
spatial
skills.
C.Learning
self-control.
D.Gaining
high-tech
knowledge.
答案B
解析根据第二段第一句内容可知,两岁到四岁之间的孩子玩拼图,能够发展更好的空间技能。故选B项。
33.What
did
Levine
take
into
consideration
when
designing
her
experiment?
A.Parents’
age.
B.Children’s
imagination.
C.Parents’
education.
D.Child-parent
relationship.
答案C
解析根据第二段的最后一句可知,设计实验时,Levine考虑到了父母的收入以及受教育的程度。故选C项。
34.How
do
boys
differ
from
girls
in
puzzle
play?
A.They
play
with
puzzles
more
often.
B.They
tend
to

less
during
the
game.
C.They
prefer
to
use
more
spatial
language.
D.They
are
likely
to
play
with
tougher
puzzles.
答案D
解析根据倒数第二段最后一句可知,男孩们倾向于玩更复杂一些的拼图。故选D项。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
HSC,mid-terms,finals,no
matter
how
you
describe
them,exams
have
something
in
common
—
including
how
to
study
well. 36 ?
Plan
a
study
timetable.
Make
sure
you
will
cover
your
material
in
time
with
a
realistic
study
timetable. 37
With
a
plan
in
place,you’ll
be
less
likely
to
put
off
your
work
as
knowing
how
you
will
use
your
time
will
also
mean
you
make
the
best
use
of
it.?
38 ?
Give
yourself
the
best
environment
by
choosing
somewhere
with
enough
light,a
comfortable
chair,and
little
to
no
distractions.Sit
down
with
all
that
you
need
—
and
only
the
things
you’ll
need
—
like
any
books,notes
or
pens,as
well
as
some
water
and
healthy
snacks
on
hand.Also
ask
what
you
don’t
need.A
rule
of
thumb
is
that
if
it
doesn’t
help
you
study,it
shouldn’t
be
on
your
desk.It
may
look
so
simple
but
is
really
effective
to
help
you
focus
on
your
study.
Keep
healthy:sleep,eat
and
move.
When
exams
come
around,somehow
there
never
seems
enough
time
for
the
basic
things
like
sleep
and
exercise.Taking
care
of
your
health
and
well-being
will
really
help
you
study
at
your
best
by
improving
your
memory,mood
and
energy
levels,and
keeping
those
stress
levels
down. 39
Eating
three
meals
and
sticking
to
healthy
snacks
throughout
the
day
will
give
you
the
energy
you
need
to
focus. 40
A
good
aim
is
20-30
minutes
of
exercise
but
even
a
walk
nearby
during
study
breaks
will
do
you
good!?
A.Focus
on
your
study.
B.Prepare
your
study
area.
C.Put
your
timetable
aside
if
it
doesn’t
work.
D.When
it
comes
to
sleep,seven
to
nine
hours
is
suggested.
E.If
you’re
feeling
a
bit
tired,try
getting
outside
for
some
fresh
air.
F.It’ll
help
you
know
where
to
start
and
what
you’re
aiming
to
achieve
for
the
day.
G.Get
ready
and
use
your
time
well
with
our
expert

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是应用文。文章介绍了关于如何准备考试的几个技巧。
36.G 根据上文“HSC,mid-terms,finals,no
matter
how
you
describe
them,exams
have
something
in
common—including
how
to
study
well.”可知,不管是什么类型的考试,它们是有共同之处的。根据下文每段的小标题可知,本文是介绍考试技巧,G项“Get
ready
and
use
your
time
well
with
our
expert
advice
on
how
to
study
for
exams.”切题。故选G项。
37.F 根据上文“Make
sure
you
will
cover
your
material
in
time
with
a
realistic
study
timetable.”可知,你可以利用符合实际的学习计划表来确保自己能及时的学完学习材料。F项进一步解释了为什么要有时间表。F项的It与前文中的a
realistic
study
timetable呼应。故选F项。
38.B 根据“Give
yourself
the
best
environment
by
choosing
somewhere
with
enough
light,a
comfortable
chair,and
little
to
no
distractions.”可知,这一段是建议你选择一个光线充足、椅子舒适、几乎没有干扰的地方,给自己一个最好的环境,也就是选择学习的地方,B项“Prepare
your
study
area.(准备一个学习区域。)”概括了本段大意,适合做本段的小标题,故选B项。
39.D 根据本段小标题“Keep
healthy:sleep,eat
and
move.”可知,这一段是关于睡眠、饮食和运动的,后文“Eating
three
meals
and
sticking
to
healthy
snacks
throughout
the
day
will
give
you
the
energy
you
need
to
focus.”已经谈到了三餐和健康的饮食可以保持健康;“A
good
aim
is
20-30
minutes
of
exercise
but
even
a
walk
nearby
during
study
breaks
will
do
you
good!”与运动相关。根据eat
和move两个要点可以推测,这里应该是谈论睡眠的,D项“When
it
comes
to
sleep,seven
to
nine
hours
is
suggested.(说到睡眠,建议睡7到9个小时。)”切题,故选D项。
40.E 根据后文“A
good
aim
is
20-30
minutes
of
exercise
but
even
a
walk
nearby
during
study
breaks
will
do
you
good!”可知,即使是在学习休息时间在附近散步也会对你有好处!E项“If
you’re
feeling
a
bit
tired,try
getting
outside
for
some
fresh
air.(如果你感到有点儿累,试着出去呼吸一些新鲜空气。)”切题。故选E项。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
A
group
of
graduates,successful
in
their
careers,got
together
to
visit
their
old
university
professor.Conversation
soon
turned
into
complaint
about
stress
in
work
and
life.
Before
offering
his
guests
coffee,the
professor
went
to
the
kitchen
and
returned
with
a
large
pot
of
coffee
and
a
variety
of 41
—
porcelain,plastic,glass,crystal
(水晶),some
plain-looking
and
42 ,some
delicate
(精致的)
and
expensive
—
telling
them
to
43
themselves
to
the
coffee.?
When
all
the
students
had
a
cup
of
coffee
in
hand,the
professor
said,“If
you 44 ,all
the
nice-looking
and
expensive
cups
were
45 ,leaving
behind
the
plain
and
cheap
ones.While
it
is
46
for
you
to
want
only
the
best
for
yourselves,that
is
the
47
of
your
problems
and
stress.It
is
definite
that
the
cup
itself
adds
no
quality
to
the
coffee. 48
all
of
you
really
wanted
was
coffee,not
the
cup,but
you
all
went
for
the
49
cups.And
then
you
began
50
each
other’s
cups.?
Now
consider
this:Life
is
the
coffee;the
jobs,money
and 51
in
society
are
the
cups.They
are
just
tools
to
hold
and
52
life,and
the
type
of
cup
we
have
does
not
change
the
53
of
life
we
live.Sometimes,by
54
only
on
the
cup,we
fail
to
55
the
coffee.?
【语篇解读】本文是夹叙夹议文。教授通过杯子和咖啡告诉学生要追求生活的本质,不要被外表所迷惑。
41.A.tools
B.materials
C.cups
D.gifts
答案C
解析句意:在给客人提供咖啡之前,教授到厨房拿了一大壶咖啡和各种各样的杯子回来——陶瓷的、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的,一些看起来普通又便宜,一些精致又昂贵——告诉他们自己喝咖啡。根据空前的“offering
his
guests
coffee”可知,喝咖啡自然要用杯子,故C项正确。
42.A.cheap
B.simple
C.beautiful
D.valuable
答案A
解析根据空前的“plain-looking”及空后的“delicate
and
expensive”可知,此处与“精致又昂贵”相对,指的是“看起来普通又便宜”,故A项正确。
43.A.invite
B.allow
C.help
D.adapt
答案C
解析端上咖啡和杯子后,教授让学生们自己喝咖啡,help
oneself
to
sth表示“自取,随便吃/喝”,故C项正确。
44.A.noticed
B.admitted
C.accepted
D.relaxed
答案A
解析根据空后的“all
the
nice-looking
and
expensive
cups
were
45 ,leaving
behind
the
plain
and
cheap
ones”可知,此处表示如果你们留意的话,所有好看和昂贵的杯子都被拿走了,剩下的是普通和便宜的杯子,故A项正确。?
45.A.sold
out
B.taken
up
C.broken
D.abandoned
答案B
解析根据空后的“leaving
behind
the
plain
and
cheap
ones”可知,剩下的是普通和便宜的杯子,这说明好看和昂贵的杯子都被拿(占用)了,故B项正确。sell
out“售罄”;take
up“占用”;break“打碎”;abandon“遗弃”。
46.A.normal
B.unfair
C.selfish
D.painful
答案A
解析根据空后的“for
you
to
want
only
the
best
for
yourselves”可知,你们想要得到最好的东西,这一点是很正常的,故A项正确。normal“正常的”;unfair“不公平的”;selfish“自私的”;painful“痛苦的”。
47.A.way
B.value
C.judgement
D.source
答案D
解析根据上文中的“Conversation
soon
turned
into
complaint
about
stress
in
work
and
life.”可知,学生们开始抱怨工作和生活中的压力,教授用杯子告诉他们想要得到最好的东西正是他们的问题和压力的根源所在,故D项正确。
48.A.Why
B.Although
C.Unless
D.What
答案D
解析句意:你们真正想要的是咖啡,不是杯子,但你们都去拿最好的杯子。分析句子结构可知此处为主语从句,从句中的wanted缺少宾语,所以用what引导主语从句,故D项正确。
49.A.ordinary
B.best
C.special
D.strange
答案B
解析根据上文中的“...all
the
nice-looking
and
expensive
cups
were
45 ,leaving
behind
the
plain
and
cheap
ones.”可知,所有好看和昂贵的杯子都被拿走了,剩下的是普通和便宜的杯子,这说明学生们都去拿最好的杯子,上文中的“want
only
the
best
for
yourselves”也是提示,故B项正确。?
50.A.using
B.washing
C.eyeing
D.introducing
答案C
解析上文提到学生们都去为自己挑选最好的杯子,然后就开始注视别人的杯子(与自己的比较),故C项正确。
51.A.position
B.kindness
C.character
D.temper
答案A
解析根据空前的“the
jobs,money”可知,此处指社会地位,故A项正确。position“位置,地位”;kindness“善良”;character“特征”;temper“性情”。
52.A.improve
B.contain
C.mix
D.limit
答案B
解析句意:它们只是承载和容纳生活的工具,我们拥有的杯子的种类并不会改变我们生活的质量。根据空前的“hold”可知,此处指容纳,故B项正确。improve“改进”;contain“容纳”;mix“混合”;limit“限制”。
53.A.way B.pace
C.direction D.quality
答案D
解析根据上文中的“It
is
definite
that
the
cup
itself
adds
no
quality
to
the
coffee.”可知,杯子本身并不能提高咖啡的质量,同样,生活中的那些“杯子”也不会改变我们生活的质量,故D项正确。
54.A.concentrating
B.relying
C.keeping
D.holding
答案A
解析根据空后的“only
on
the
cup,we
fail
to
55
the
coffee”可知,只专注于杯子,我们没能享受咖啡的醇香,故A项正确。concentrate
on“专注于”;rely
on“依靠”;keep
on“继续”;hold
on“别挂断”。?
55.A.drink B.enjoy
C.share D.boil
答案B
解析根据上文语境及空后的“the
coffee”可知,如果只专注于杯子,我们没能享受咖啡的醇香,故B项正确。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一个寒冷的早晨作者不小心把孩子和钥匙锁在了车里,幸运的是,一个正好有相同型号车钥匙的陌生人帮作者打开了车门。
56.lovely 考查形容词。句意:我们找到了一套漂亮的公寓,很快就安顿下来了。修饰名词apartment用形容词,lovely表示“美丽的,令人愉快的”,故填lovely。
57.headed 考查动词时态。句意:一个寒冷的早晨,我前往洗衣店。根据时间状语可知,事情发生在过去,应该用一般过去时,故填headed。
58.on 考查介词。句意:我打开车的引擎,让车预热,把帕姆放在她的车座上,当时她坐在前座上。turn
on表示“打开”,故填on。
59.to
warm 考查非谓语动词。此处表示目的,应该用不定式作目的状语,故填to
warm。
60.which 考查非限定性定语从句。此处为非限定性定语从句,先行词为her
car
seat,关系词在从句中作主语,故填which。
61.Suddenly 考查副词。句意:突然,我意识到我把钥匙和孩子锁在车里,把自己锁在了外面。修饰整个句子用副词,故填Suddenly。
62.keys 考查名词复数。通常一串钥匙不止一把,此处用可数名词复数形式,故填keys。
63.myself 考查代词。此处表示“我自己”,故填myself。
64.driving 考查非谓语动词。句意:我朝街上望去,看见一辆红色的福特小货车正朝我开过来。see
sb/sth
doing表示“看见某人/某物正在做某事”,故填driving。

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。
She
got
up
early
to
be
ready
for
the
post.From
the
second
floor
of
the
flat
she
could
see
the
postman
when
he
came
down
the
street,and
the
little
boy,Johnnie,from
the
ground
floor
brought
up
her
letters
on
rare
occasions
when
anything
came.
Today
she
was
sure
there
would
be
something.Her
daughter,Myra,wouldn’t
forget
her
birthday,even
if
Myra
seldom
wrote
at
other
times.Of
course,Myra
was
busy.The
old
lady
was
proud
of
Myra,who
was
successful
both
in
her
company
and
family.
The
old
lady
was
eighty
today.She
had
put
on
her
best
dress.Perhaps
Myra
might
come.After
all,eighty
was
a
special
birthday.
Even
if
Myra
did
not
come,she
would
send
a
present.The
old
lady
was
sure
of
that.Two
spots
of
color
brightened
her
cheeks.She
was
excited—like
a
child.She
would
enjoy
her
day.
Mrs.Morison
upstairs
had
brought
a
card
and
a
bunch
of
flowers
to
her.Mrs.Grant
downstairs
had
made
a
cake,and
in
the
afternoon
she
was
going
down
there
to
tea.Johnnie
had
brought
up
with
a
packet
of
sweets,and
said
he
wouldn’t
go
out
to
play
until
the
post
had
come.“I
guess
you’ll
get
lots
of
presents.”
he
said.
What
would
she
like?A
pair
of
comfortable
shoes
perhaps.Or
a
new
coat.A
coat
would
be
lovely.Blue
is
such
a
pretty
color.Or
a
table
lamp.Or
a
book,a
travel
book,with
pictures.Or
a
little
clock,with
clear
black
numbers.So
many
lovely
things.

参考范文
She
stood
by
the
window,watching.The
postman
turned
round
the
corner
on
his
bike.Her
heart
beat
fast.Johnnie
had
seen
him
too
and
ran
to
the
bike.After
a
while,Johnnie
ran
up
and
knocked
at
her
door.“Granny,Granny,”
he
shouted,“I’ve
got
your
post.”
He
gave
her
four
envelopes.Three
were
unsealed
cards
from
old
friends.The
fourth
was
sealed
in
Myra’s
writing.“No
parcel,Johnnie?”
“No,Granny.”
Maybe
the
parcel
was
too
large
to
come
by
letter
post.That
was
it.It
would
come
later
by
parcel
post.She
must
be
patient.
Almost
unwillingly,she
tore
the
envelope
open.Folded
in
the
card
was
a
piece
of
paper.Written
on
the
card
was
a
message
under
the
printed
Happy
Birthday—Buy
yourself
something
nice
with
the
cheque,Myra
and
Harold.The
cheque
fluttered
to
the
floor
like
a
bird
with
a
broken
wing.Slowly
the
old
lady
bent
to
pick
it
up.Her
present,her
lovely
present.With
trembling
fingers
she
tore
it
into
little
pieces.
