三、阅读理解
17.(2013·福建)阅读理解
When I was 12, all I wanted was a signet (图章) ring. They were the "in" thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being "replaced". We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the " new" stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.
Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. " You'll recognize this one," she said, smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.
(1)The underlined word "in" in the first paragraph probably means "_____".
A.fashionable B.available C.practical D.renewable
(2)When she got the ring back, the writer was about _____.
A.13 years old B.15 years old C.26 years old D.28 years old
(3)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The writer's family moved several times.
B. The writer never stopped looking for her ring.
C. The writer's ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.
D. The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off.
(4)What would be the best title for the passage
A.My New Ring B.Lost and Found
C.Lost and Replaced D.An Expensive Ring
【答案】(1)A
(2)D
(3)A
(4)B
【知识点】推理判断题;词义猜测题;故事阅读类;记叙文;标题选择
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者讲述了自己渴望得到的一枚有字母的戒指不小心丢失了,但是在多年后,奇迹般的找回的故事。
(1)考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的”it seemed every girl except me had one.“,除了我好像每个女孩都有这样的戒指,应该是“时尚的”,或者根据大家都知道的out(过时),可推知,选A。
(2)考查数字计算。根据第一段中的”On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it.“可知作者在13岁的时候,妈妈给了她戒指做礼物;根据第三段中的”two years later, we sold the house and moved away.“可知两年后,作者家卖了房子,搬走了;根据第五段中的”The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets.“可知在13年后作者又得到了这枚丢失的戒指。这是作者应该是28岁找回戒指的,选D。
(3)考查细节理解。根据第四段中的”Years passed, and a couple of moves later,“,可知作者搬了几次家。句中的a couple of和A项的several意思相近。选A。
(4)考查主旨大意。根据整篇文章的主旨可知:本文主要讲述了作者的戒指失而复得的故事,所以B项 Lost and Found是最好的标题。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解、数字计算、词义猜测和主旨大意四个题型的考查,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,通过上下文的逻辑关系,进一步分析、推理、概括和归纳,选出正确答案。
18.(2013·福建)阅读理解
Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
“ I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the [bar and wanted to see what was open,” said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
“ As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs,” said Sam Biddle, who writes for . “ We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things,” he added, “and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”
9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
“It's just like smartphones 10 years ago,” Weintraub said. “A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural,” he said. “ There's gonna be improvements to that, and this a step there.”
(1)One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ____.
A.program the opening hours of a bar
B.supply you with a picture of the future
C.provide information about your surroundings
D.update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
(2)The underlined phrase "pop up" in the third paragraph probably means " ____".
A.develop rapidly B.get round quickly
C.appear immediately D.go over automatically
(3)According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are ____.
A.necessary for teenagers B.attractive to New Yorkers
C.available to people worldwide D.expensive for average consumers
(4)We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ____.
A.may have a potential market
B.are as common as smartphones
C.are popular among young adults
D.will be improved by a new technology
【答案】(1)C
(2)C
(3)D
(4)A
【知识点】推理判断题;词义猜测题;细节理解题;说明文;环境保护类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一种使用智能技术的新型眼镜,这种眼镜可以向用户提供周围环境的具体信息。
(1)考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings.”可知Google眼镜这一技术可以给你提供周围环境的信息。故C正确。
(2)考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“indicators wouldpop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.”以及“that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings.”可知只有这一技术可以迅速得知你周围事物的信息,故该词表示C项含义。
(3)考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. "可知目前这一产品的价格还不是普通人能够承受的。故D正确。
(4)考查推理判断。根据最后两段可知10年前人们认为智能手机是不可能的,但是10年以后这都是很常见的个人物品。作者以此来类推这一新技术,也就是说作者认为这一技术的潜在市场也是巨大的。故A正确。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解、推理判断和词义猜测三个题型的考查,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,通过上下文的逻辑关系,进一步分析、推理、概括和归纳,选出正确答案。

Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman
Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's most famous work, might be updated, 200 years on.
Austen's popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here's my own suggestion.
It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.
" My dear husband," said his hopeful wife one day, " have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman "
Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not. "But it is, it is," she replied excitedly. Mr Dull-Husband made no reply.
"Don't you want to know her plans " she cried with some impatience.
"Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head. .. so I'd better listen. "
"Well, my dear, the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month. " "What is her name " "Bingley. "
"Is she married or single "
"What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys. " "How so How can it possibly affect them "
"My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going. "
" Is that her point in settling here Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place. "
" Nonsense, my love, how little you've noticed the world has changed. She's got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, I'm told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call. "
" Me No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job. " "Oh, that's not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think I'll go along all the same. "
And Mrs Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company.
It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more "female" dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city's business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she'd no doubt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.
(1)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A.Austen was born 200 years ago.
B.Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.
C.Austen's success lies in her wisdom.
D.Austen's updated work gains popularity.
(2)The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet ____.
A.had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley
B.felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley
C.was extremely anxious to meet Bingley
D.had a great curiosity about Bingley
(3)In the eyes of Mrs Bennet, Bingley surely needed one of their boys to ____.
A.get married to B.work for her
C.help her move in D.take over her store
(4)What does the writer intend to tell us
A.Women with brains can also be as successful as men.
B.Women have to pay a high price for success.
C.A judgment must be made free from prejudice.
D.Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.

A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said; "We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.
"We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.
"At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. " Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).
The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. " Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazing," he said, " We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon. "
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.
Kieran said: " It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August. "

From the picture, we can see a family of three walking on a long red carpet.
【答案】From the picture we can see a family of three walking on a long red carpet. The son, well dressed, waves proudly in the middle while the father behind bends forward to hold the jacket and the mother in front rolls out the carpet, sweating.
It shows a common phenomenon nowadays that children are the focus of families, shouldering the hope of their parents. Parents arrange everything for their children and spare no effort to pave the way for their success. As a consequence, children become so reliant on their parents that they have no independent thought or creative ideas.
Such a situation is of great concern. In my opinion, overprotection and too much care are extremely bad for children's
development. Instead of doing everything for them, parents should encourage their children to overcome difficulties and inspire them to develop by themselves. Only in this way can they grow up to be independent and become truly successful.

【点评】本文内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当。同时注意应用较高级的短语和句子为文章增色不少。例如:The son, well dressed, waves proudly in the middle while the father behind bends forward to hold the jacket and the mother in front rolls out the carpet, sweating.本句含有while表示对比;It shows a common phenomenon nowadays that children are the focus of families, shouldering the hope of their parents.含有非谓语动词;Only in this way can they grow up to be independent and become truly successful.用了倒装句。

When I was 12, all I wanted was a signet (图章) ring. They were the "in" thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being "replaced". We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the " new" stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.
Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. " You'll recognize this one," she said, smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.
(1)The underlined word "in" in the first paragraph probably means "_____".
A.fashionable B.available C.practical D.renewable
(2)When she got the ring back, the writer was about _____.
A.13 years old B.15 years old C.26 years old D.28 years old
(3)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The writer's family moved several times.
B. The writer never stopped looking for her ring.
C. The writer's ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.
D. The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off.
(4)What would be the best title for the passage
A.My New Ring B.Lost and Found
C.Lost and Replaced D.An Expensive Ring

Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
“ I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the [bar and wanted to see what was open,” said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
“ As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs,” said Sam Biddle, who writes for . “ We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things,” he added, “and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”
9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
“It's just like smartphones 10 years ago,” Weintraub said. “A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural,” he said. “ There's gonna be improvements to that, and this a step there.”
(1)One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ____.
A.program the opening hours of a bar
B.supply you with a picture of the future
C.provide information about your surroundings
D.update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
(2)The underlined phrase "pop up" in the third paragraph probably means " ____".
A.develop rapidly B.get round quickly
C.appear immediately D.go over automatically
(3)According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are ____.
A.necessary for teenagers B.attractive to New Yorkers
C.available to people worldwide D.expensive for average consumers
(4)We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ____.
A.may have a potential market
B.are as common as smartphones
C.are popular among young adults
D.will be improved by a new technology

Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman
Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's most famous work, might be updated, 200 years on.
Austen's popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here's my own suggestion.
It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.
" My dear husband," said his hopeful wife one day, " have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman "
Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not. "But it is, it is," she replied excitedly. Mr Dull-Husband made no reply.
"Don't you want to know her plans " she cried with some impatience.
"Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head. .. so I'd better listen. "
"Well, my dear, the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month. " "What is her name " "Bingley. "
"Is she married or single "
"What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys. " "How so How can it possibly affect them "
"My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going. "
" Is that her point in settling here Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place. "
" Nonsense, my love, how little you've noticed the world has changed. She's got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, I'm told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call. "
" Me No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job. " "Oh, that's not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think I'll go along all the same. "
And Mrs Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company.
It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more "female" dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city's business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she'd no doubt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.

A.Austen was born 200 years ago.
B.Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.

D.had a great curiosity about Bingley
(3)In the eyes of Mrs Bennet, Bingley surely needed one of their boys to ____.
A.get married to B.work for her
C.help her move in D.take over her store
(4)What does the writer intend to tell us
A.Women with brains can also be as successful as men.
B.Women have to pay a high price for success.
C.A judgment must be made free from prejudice.
D.Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.

A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said; "We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.
"We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.
"At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. " Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).
The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. " Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazing," he said, " We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon. "
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.
Kieran said: " It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August. "

(3)考查代词。句意:他应该服务社区,不是社区服务于他。用he的人称代词的宾格him。
(4)考查定语从句。先行词是ways、,定语从句用in which引导。
(5)考查连词。在你服务他人之前要学会一些技能和经验。填before。
(6)考查名词复数。activity“活动”,是可数名词,因为lots of所以填复数。
(7)考查动词短语。prepare sb for sth固定短语“使某人做好…...的准备”。故填for。
(8)考查动词短语。participate in固定短语“参与”。
(9)考查介词短语。in time of need介词短语“在需要的时候”。
(10)考查动词短语。grow up固定短语”长大,成长“。你会成长为有责任感的好公民。
【点评】本题考点涉及固定句型、主谓一致、代词、定语从句、连词、名词、动词短语以及介词短语等知识点的考查,要求考生根据上下文的逻辑关系、首写字母提示或者汉语提示,写出单词的正确形式,综合性强,需要在掌握知识点的同时,准确把握所填词汇的含义和用法。
23.【答案】From the picture we can see a family of three walking on a long red carpet. The son, well dressed, waves proudly in the middle while the father behind bends forward to hold the jacket and the mother in front rolls out the carpet, sweating.
It shows a common phenomenon nowadays that children are the focus of families, shouldering the hope of their parents. Parents arrange everything for their children and spare no effort to pave the way for their success. As a consequence, children become so reliant on their parents that they have no independent thought or creative ideas.
Such a situation is of great concern. In my opinion, overprotection and too much care are extremely bad for children's
development. Instead of doing everything for them, parents should encourage their children to overcome difficulties and inspire them to develop by themselves. Only in this way can they grow up to be independent and become truly successful.
【知识点】看图写话;图画式议论文;开放性作文
【解析】【分析】这篇书面表达以漫画的形式讲述"以孩子为中心的三口之家,孩子是小皇帝,父母是臣仆"这一社会现象,发人深省。漫画式作文就是通过漫画提供的图像信息写一篇短文,漫画作文就内容而言,可以写观察到的内容,也可以根据合理想象适当进行发挥来补充一些内容;就表达方式而言,可以单纯地理解、说明,也可以在说明中加以描写、叙述。写好漫画作文的要求是:认真审图,确立主题,提炼要点,展开联想或发表感想,变点为句,连句成篇。要达到这些要求,我们就必须认真审图,善于利用图中人物间的关系、人物的对话、人物的活动及所处场所,以及图(表)中的文字说明和标识来提炼要点;要围绕主题展开合理的想象,切忌游离于主题展开不着边际的联想或感想。写作时注意准确运用时态,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系,尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式,同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。特别注意在选择句式时要赋予变化。
【点评】本文内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当。同时注意应用较高级的短语和句子为文章增色不少。例如:The son, well dressed, waves proudly in the middle while the father behind bends forward to hold the jacket and the mother in front rolls out the carpet, sweating.本句含有while表示对比;It shows a common phenomenon nowadays that children are the focus of families, shouldering the hope of their parents.含有非谓语动词;Only in this way can they grow up to be independent and become truly successful.用了倒装句。
