Ⅰ.阅读理解
One
of
the
most
important
things
in
the
world
is
friendship.In
order
to
have
friends,
you
have
to
be
a
friend.But
how
can
you
be
a
good
friend
at
school?
Listen－Listen
when
they
are
talking.Don't
say
anything
unless
they
ask
you
a
question.Sometimes
it's
not
necessary
for
you
to
have
anything
to
say;
they
just
need
someone
to
talk
to
about
their
feelings.
Help
them－If
your
friend
is
ever
in
need
of
some?thing,
be
there
to
help
them.
You
should
try
to
put
them
first,
but
make
sure
you
don't
do
everything
they
want
you
to
do.Try
to
take
an
extra
(额外的)
pencil
or
pen
with
you
to
classes
in
case
(以防)
they
forget
one.Have
a
little
extra
money
in
your
pocket
in
case
they
forget
something
they
need.
Be
there
for
them－Try
to
make
something
for
your
friend
to
help
make
them
feel
better
in
hard
times.Making
cards
and
encouraging
them
are
among
the
nicest
things
you
can
do
for
a
friend.Marilyn
Monroe,
a
famous
US
actor,
once
said,
“I
often
make
mistakes.Sometimes
I
am
out
of
control.
But
if
you
can't
stay
with
me
at
my
worst,
you
are
sure
not
to
deserve
(值得)
to
be
with
me
at
my
best.”
Always
remember
this!
If
you
don't
want
to
stay
with
your
friends
when
they're
in
hard
times,
then
you
don't
deserve
to
be
with
them
when
they're
having
a
good
time!
Make
plans－Try
to
make
plans
with
your
friends.Go
shopping,
go
for
ice
cream,
have
a
party,
go
to
a
movie
and
so
on.Take
time
to
know
each
other
even
better
by
doing
something
you
both
enjoy.By
planning
things
together,
you
both
can
have
a
good
time.And
you'll
remember
these
things
when
you're
all
old!
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要说明了在学校我们该如何做才能成为别人的好朋友。

her
feelings,

him
or
her
some
advice
B．just
listen
unless
asked
C．calm
him
or
her
down
D．share
your
feelings
as
well
B [细节理解题。从第二段的“Don't

A．try
to
do

should
try
to
put
them
first，but
make
sure
you
don't
do
everything
they
want
you
to
do.”可知，如果朋友需要帮助，我们应该把对方的利益置于自己之上，故B项正确。]
3．What
can
we

Marilyn
Monroe's
words?
A．Life
without
a
friend

death.

friend

friend.
B．How
to
help
friends
in
trouble.
C．How
to
be
a
good
friend.
D．How
to
make
more
friends.
C [主旨大意题。从第一段的“But
how
can
you
be
a
good
friend
at
school？”及文章大意可知，本文主要介绍了如何做一个好朋友，故选C项。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
When
you
learn
a
new
subject,
you
may
always
consider
how
much
time
you
need
to
truly
understand
it
all.Here
we
give
you
some
advice
about
how
to
study,
so
you'll
be
able
to
take
on
more
information
with
shorter
study
sessions(时段)．
?Study
in
small
sessions.Our
ability
to
store
the
information
we
take
reduces(降低)after
around
30
minutes,
so
you'd
better
cut
your
studying
sessions
into
smaller
parts.
1
?Find
a
study
area.
Don't
study
in
a
place
where
you
sleep!
Don't
study
in
your
bed,
where
you
play
games,
or
in
front
of
the
TV.Why？
2
You
need
to
program
your
mind
to
study
in
a
place
where
you
always
study
and
nowhere
else.
?Take
good
notes.
3
And
review
them
after
class
to
increase
your
understanding.
?
4
To
be
a
good
student,
you
should
be
a
good
teacher.You
cannot
teach
something
you
do
not
know.
?Read
your
textbook
effectively(有效地)．Always
use
the
SQ3R
method.You
need
to
survey,
question,
read,
recite(背诵)，review
to
actively
remember
the
information.
5
A．Train
your
mind.
B．Just
reading
it
is
not
enough.
C．Be
ready
to
teach
what
you've
learned.
D．It's
a
good
idea
to
study
in
a
familiar
place.
E．You
can
do
some
fun
activities
during
your
breaks.
F．Find
a
note?taking
method
that
works
best
for
you.
G．Doing
so
will
only
mix
up
your
mind
as
to
what
to
do.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了几种有效学习的方法。
1．E [E项中的“do
some
fun
activities
during
your
breaks”与该空前的“Our
ability...reduces
after
around
30
minutes...cut
your
studying
sessions
into
smaller
parts”相呼应，此处作者建议读者在休息时做一些有趣的事来调整自己。]
2．G [由该空后的“need
to
program
your
mind”可知，G项中的“mix
up
your
mind
as
to
what
to
do”是对前文不能在床上或电视机前学习的解释。]
3．F [F项中的“Find
a
note?taking
method”和本段小标题“Take
good
notes”相呼应。]
4．C [C项中的“teach
what
you've
learned”和下一句中的“You
cannot
teach
something
you
do
not
know”相呼应。]
5．B [由本段小标题“Read
your
textbook
effectively”和下一句的“Always
use
the
SQ3R
method”可知，读书只读是不够的，还需要用方法有效率地读，故选B项。]
Ⅲ.完形填空
My
father
used
to
like
drinking.Every
time
when
he
got
1
，
he
would
shout
loudly
and
beat
my

，

and
I

I
went

a
boarding(寄宿)
3

was
thirteen,
and
I
finally
didn't
have
to
see
my
father
drunk
every
day.However,
I
didn't
talk
to
anybody
and
4
all
my
spare
time
alone
in
school
because
of
the
pain
in
my
heart.When
other
boys
were
5
on
the
playground,
I
would
sit
there
alone.This
lasted
for
several
weeks
until
a
new
6
who
was
about
forty
came
to
our
class.She,
of
course,
7
I
was
different.She
asked
me
to
answer
her
question
in
her
first
class.I
8
and
answered
her
question
in
a
very
9
voice,
with
my
head
down.That
noon,
after
lunch,
she
found
me
and
had
a
10
with
me.She
asked
me
11
I
needed
any
help.Nobody
had
ever
cared
about
me
like
that.I
12
told
her
everything
about
my
family.
“Things
won't
get
13
，”she
said.
From
that
day
on,
every
time
she
saw
me,
she
would
give
me
a
14
．She
often
asked
me
to
answer
her
questions
in
class,
and
she
helped
me
with
my
15
after
class.As
time
went
by,
I
didn't
feel
so
16
as
before.
The
day
I
left
that
school,
I
17
her
why
she
did
all
that
for
me.
“My
mother
18
when
I
was
ten.I
know
how
hard
it
is
19
a
mother,
”
she
said.
I
will
never
20
her—my
dearest
teacher.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
In
the
late
1990s，a
family
visited
the
school
where
I
taught
deaf
students.They
said
they
would
be
moving
here
and
planned
to
send
their
deaf
daughter
to
my
school
as
a
first
grader.They
were
upset
that
their
child's
kindergarten
teacher
told
them
not
to
have
high
hopes
for
her.The
teacher
painted
a
bleak(暗淡的)picture
for
their
little
girl's
future.Standing
behind
them
was
Katherine,
a
beautiful
five?year?old
girl
with
long
hair
and
dark
eyes.The
whole
time
her
parents
were
there
she
didn't
make
a
sound
or
use
sign
language,
even
when
her
parents
asked
her
to
do
so.
After
a
few
weeks
with
Katherine,
I
discovered
I
was
dealing
with
a
very
bright
child.Although
I
was
able
to
make
her
join
in
different
learning
activities,
writing
was
always
a
struggle.I
tried
all
kinds
of
methods
to
interest
her
in
writing.Every
time
the
pencils
came
out,
she
would
refuse
to
write.
One
day
Katherine
got
off
her
bus
and
stood
in
front
of
the
school
crying.The
teachers
there
did
not
know
enough
sign
language
to
ask
her
what
happened.Finally
they
led
her
into
the
office
where
they
handed
her
a
pen
and
a
piece
of
paper.Katherine
wrote:
“PAC
BAK.”
Immediately
the
teachers
realized
she
left
her
backpack
on
the
bus.They
called
the
bus
driver
back
to
school
and
soon
Katherine
got
her
backpack
back.
That
day
Katherine
discovered
the
power
of
the
pen．From
then
on
she
fell
in
love
with
writing.She
is
a
young
woman
now
and
has
become
an
excellent
writer,
public
speaker
and
student
leader.

a
first
grader.”可知D项正确。]
B
Here's
something
to
think
about
the
next
time
you
ask
your
teacher
for
help:
trying
hard
to
do
schoolwork
on
your
own
can
help
you
learn.According
to
a
recent
study,
the
more
you
try
while
you
are
learning
new
information,
the
better
you
can
remember
it
later.
This
might
surprise
you.When
teachers
are
presenting
new
information,
they
often
give
students
lots
of
help.But
a
new
study
shows
this
may
not
be
the
best
way
to
support
learning.“Don't
be
too
quick
to
get
help
when
learning
something
new，”
educational
expert
Manu
Kapur
said.“Try
to
work
on
it
yourself
even
if
it
means
trying
different
ways.”
Kapur
came
up
with
the
idea
that
trying
hard
can
lead
to
better
learning.Then
he
tested
it
out
on
students
in
Singapore.He
separated
students
into
two
groups.In
the
first
group,
students
were
asked
to
solve
maths
problems
with
the
teacher's
help.In
the
second
group,
students
were
asked
to
solve
the
same
problems
by
helping
one
another,
instead
of
getting
help
from
the
teacher.
With
the
teacher's
help,
students
in
the
first
group
were
able
to
find
the
correct
answers.Students
in
the
second
group
did
not
solve
the
problems
correctly.But
they
did
come
up
with
a
lot
of
good
ideas.
The
students
were
then
tested
on
what
they
had
learned.The
group
without
any
help
from
a
teacher
scored
much
higher
than
the
group
who
had
help.Kapur
said
working
to
find
the
answers
helped
students
understand
the
process(过程)，not
just
the
solution.
Kapur's
advice
for
kids
is
to
put
a
lot
of
effort(努力)into
learning
something
new
rather
than
going
to
your
teacher
for
help.“Simply
doing
a
little
work
or
nothing
at
all
won't
work，”
says
Kapur.“Try
to
solve
a
problem
in
as
many
ways
as
possible.”
【语篇解读】 学生遇到问题当然想着去问老师。而教育专家Kapur却坚持让学生独自解决难题。

【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。文中讲述了作者高中阶段在老师的帮助下对英语有了兴趣，并取得了很大的进步的故事。
1．started [考查时态。此处作者谈及高中开始学英语的时候的情况，所以用一般过去时。]
2．different [考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，此处用形容词作宾补，与空前的difficult构成并列关系。]
3．The [考查冠词。此处用The特指上文提到的那位老师。]
4．whose [考查定语从句。从句中的classes与先行词the
one之间有所属关系，所以用whose引导定语从句。]
5．With [考查介词。with
the
help
of为习惯搭配，意为“在……的帮助下”。]
6．importance [考查名词。分析句子结构和空前的冠词the可知，此处应用名词importance作动词realized的宾语。]
7．(should)
read [考查虚拟语气。suggest表“建议”时，后面的宾语从句使用虚拟语气，即谓语动词用“(should＋)动词原形”。]
8．so [考查连词。根据语境可知，前后表示因果关系，且为前因后果，故填so。]
9．learned [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，lessons与learn之间为被动关系，且此处表示一个完成的动作，所以用过去分词作定语。]
10．more
interested [考查形容词比较级。根据语境可知，此处应用interested的比较级。]

【导读】 《飘》是美国女作家玛格丽特·米切尔十年磨一剑的作品，也是其唯一的作品。作品刻画了那个时代的许多美国南方人的形象，成功地再现了林肯领导的南北战争和美国南方地区的社会生活。下面是经典名著《飘》的英语段落摘抄，欢迎大家阅读！
Gone
with
the
Wind(excerpt)
If
the
educational
equipment
which
Gerald
brought
to
America
was
scant，he
did
not
even
know
it.Nor
would
he
have
cared
if
he
had
been
told.His
mother
had
taught
him
to
read
and
to
write
in
a
clear
hand.He
was
adept
at
ciphering.And
there
his
book
knowledge
stopped.The
only
Latin
he
knew
was
the
responses
of
the
Mass
and
the
only
history
was
the
manifold
wrongs
of
Ireland.He
knew
no
poetry
save
that
of
Moore
and
no
music
except
the
songs
of
Ireland
that
had
come
down
through
the
years.While
he
entertained
the
liveliest
respect
for
those
who
had
more
book
learning
than
he，he
never
felt
his
own
lack.And
what
need
had
he
of
these
things
in
a
new
country
where
the
most
ignorant
of
bogtrotters
had
made
great
fortunes
in
this
country
which
asked
only
that
a
man
be
strong
and
unafraid
of
work?
He
liked
the
South，and
he
soon
became，in
his
own
opinion，a
Southerner.There
was
much
about
the
South
and
Southerners
that
he
would
never
comprehend；but，with
the
wholeheartedness
that
was
his
nature，he
adopted
its
ideas
and
customs，as
he
understood
them，for
his
own—poker
and
horse
racing，red?hot
politics
and
the
code
duello，States'
Rights
and
damnation
to
all
Yankees，slavery
and
King
Cotton，contempt
for
white
trash
and
exaggerated
courtesy
to
women.He
even
learned
to
chew
tobacco.There
was
no
need
for
him
to
acquire
a
good
head
for
whisky；he
had
been
born
with
one.
But
Gerald
remained
Gerald.His
habits
of
living
and
his
ideas
changed，but
his
manners
he
would
not
change，even
had
he
been
able
to
change
them.He
admired
the
drawling
elegance
of
the
wealthy
rice
and
cotton
planters，who
rode
into
Savannah
from
their
moss?hung
kingdoms，mounted
on
thoroughbred
horses
and
followed
by
the
carriages
of
their
equally
elegant
ladies
and
the
wagons
of
their
slaves.But
Gerald
could
never
attain
elegance.Their
lazy，blurred
voices
fell
pleasantly
on
his
ears，but
his
own
brisk
brogue
clung
to
his
tongue.He
liked
the
casual
grace
with
which
they
conducted
affairs
of
importance，risking
a
fortune，a
plantation
or
a
slave
on
the
turn
of
a
card
and
writing
off
their
losses
with
careless
good
humor
and
no
more
ado
than
when
they
scattered
pennies
to
pickaninnies.
飘(节选)
到美国来之前，杰拉尔德没有受过多少教育，可是他对此并不怎么有自知之明。其实，即使别人给他指出，他也不会在意。他母亲教他读书和工整书写。他很善于做算术题。他的书本知识就只有这些。他唯一懂得的拉丁文是做弥撒时应答牧师的用语，唯一的历史知识则是爱尔兰的种种冤屈。他在诗歌方面，只知道穆尔的作品，音乐则限于历代流传下来的爱尔兰歌曲。他尽管对那些比他有学问的人怀有敬意，可是从来也没感觉到自己的不足。而且，在一个新的国家，在一个连那些最愚昧的爱尔兰人也在此发了大财的国家，在一个只要求你强壮不怕干活的国家，他需要这些东西干什么呢？
他喜欢南方，并且自己以为自己很快就成了南方人。的确，关于南方和南方人，有许多东西是他永远也不会理解的，不过，南方人的有些思想习惯，如玩扑克、赛马、争论政治和举行决斗、争取州权和咒骂北方佬、维护奴隶制和棉花至上主义、轻视下流白人和过分讨好妇女等，他一旦理解便全心全意地接受，并且使它们成为他自己的。他甚至学会了咀嚼烟叶。至于喝威士忌的本领，他生来就已经具备，那是不用学的。
然而，杰拉尔德还是杰拉尔德。他的生活习惯和思想变了，但他不愿改变自己的态度，即使他能够改变。他羡慕那些种稻米和棉花的富裕种植园主，羡慕他们慢条斯理、温文尔雅地骑着纯种马，后面是载着他们文质彬彬的太太们的马车和载着奴隶们的大车，从他们的古旧王国向萨凡纳迤逦而来。可是杰拉尔德永远也学不会文雅。他们那种懒洋洋的含糊不清的声音，他听着特别悦耳，但他自己那轻快的土腔却总是依附于舌头上摆脱不了。他们处理重大事务时、在一张牌上赌押一笔财产、一个种植园或一个奴隶时，以及像向黑人孩子撒钱币似的将他们的损失惬意地立即勾销时，那种满不在乎的神气是他十分喜爱的。
[知识积累]
1．educational
adj.教育的，有教育意义的
2．comprehend
vt.理解
3．exaggerated
adj.夸张的，言过其实的
4．mount
v．登上；骑上
5．conduct
vt.管理；引导；表现
6．If
the
educational
equipment
which
Gerald
brought
to
America
was
scant，he
did
not
even
know
it.
分析：该句含有if引导的条件状语从句，其中which引导的定语从句修饰先行词equipment。

《飘》是美国作家玛格丽特·米切尔创作的长篇小说，该作品1937年获得普利策文学奖。
小说以亚特兰大以及附近的一个种植园为故事场景，描绘了内战前后美国南方人的生活。作品刻画了那个时代的许多南方人的形象，占中心位置的斯佳丽、瑞德、艾希礼、梅兰妮等人是其中的典型代表。他们的习俗礼仪、言行举止、精神观念、政治态度，通过对斯佳丽与白瑞德的爱情纠缠为主线，成功地再现了林肯领导的南北战争，美国南方地区的社会生活。
