三、阅读理解
17．（2013·湖南）阅读理解
Planning a visit to the UK Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost 169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost 118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you're looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was 95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was 75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just 62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, available for 420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London's ‘Boris bikes' have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or 5 per day). (358 words)
（1）The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may __________.
A．help travelers pass time
B．attract lots of travelers to the UK
C．allow travelers to make flexible plans

（2）“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably __________.
A．a hotel away from the train station
B．the tube line to Covent Garden
C．an ideal holiday destination
D．the name of a travel agency
（3）The passage shows that the O'Neill Flat __________.
A．lies on the ground floor
B．is located in central London
C．provides cooking facilities for tourists
D．costs over 100 on average per day in late September

A．half an hour B．one hour
C．one hour and a half D．two hours
（5）The main purpose of the passage is __________.
A．to tell visitors how to book in advance
B．to supply visitors with hotel information
C．to show visitors the importance of self-help
D．to offer visitors some money-saving tips
【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）C
（4）A
（5）D
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；日常生活类
【解析】【分析】本篇是一篇说明文，给读者讲解了去英国节约开支的途径。
（1）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation.....”可推知知，主要是为了说明在有大事期间游客付费呀更高一些。故选D。
（2）考查推理判断。根据第五段中的“ A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was 75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just 62.95.”可知，只因为距离车站的距离不同，价格相差很大，可推知 Farringdon是一家车站附近的旅馆，故选C。
（3）考查细节理解。第六段中的“a great example is the historic O'Neil flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile ,available for 42 for five days in late September with room for four adults.”四个大人，五天才用420英镑。要在这家旅馆生活几天，所以要为旅客提供烹饪设施。选C。

18．（2013·湖南）阅读理解
In my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.
Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.
From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy's classroom. I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don't know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.
Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things. (360 words)

19．（2013·湖南）阅读理解
It's such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it's pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
It's a library built with love.
A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That's what we're going to do for our spring break!”
Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn't see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy horses, and made a door of glass.
After adding the library's final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
They stocked it with 20 or so books they'd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids' favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.
Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
The project's best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.” (317 words)

A．It owns a yellow roof.

（2）Janey got the idea to build a library from __________.
A．a visit to Brian Williams
B．a spring break with her family
C．a book sent by one of her neighbors
D．a report on a Wisconsin-based organization
（3）The library was built __________.
A．by a ship supply company B．on the basis of toy horses
C．like a mailbox D．with glass
（4）What can we infer about the signboard
A．It was made by a user of the library.
B．It marked a final touch to the library.
C．It aimed at making the library last long.
D．It indicated the library was a family property.
（5）The passage tells us that the users __________.

B．get paid to collect books for the library
C．receive thank-you notes for using the library
D．visit the library over 5 times on average daily
【答案】（1）B

四、短文填空
20．（2013·湖南）Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.
When kids in parts of the world want to play, they often make soccer balls out of trash tied together with string. “ the areas used for playing fields are often rough and rocky, millions of real balls go flat (变瘪) 24 hours,” says Tim Jahnigen, a California businessman. Determined to solve this problem, created an indestructible ball called the One World Futbol.
The ball is made of special material, ethylene-vinyl acetate foam. It's lightweight, it's flexible, and— important—it holds its shape.
The One World Futbol needs no pump won't wear out, even on rough surfaces. When tested, withstood (经受住) being crushed by a car, and even being chewed on by a lion.
Although it costs more to produce a typical soccer ball, Jahnigen estimates the One World Futbol can last 30 years. So far, it's been given to kids in 143 countries.
【答案】Because；within /in；he；a；most；and；it；than
【知识点】语法填空
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，由于真正的足球容易变形损坏，因此Tim Jahnigen发明了一种耐用的新式足球。

（3）考查代词。指代前面的Tim Jahnigen,a California businessman, 故用指代男性的he。

（5）考查副词。前面列举了足球是一种特殊的物质制成，它有······，此处是“最重要的是”，故填most。
（6）考查连词。The One World Futbol足球不需要打气筒，也不会磨损。中间表并列，故用and。

21．（2013·湖南）任务型阅读
Currently offered by some famous universities, MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education, or who do not have formal qualifications. They also allow participants to study at their own pace.
The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast—they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation. They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses, they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.
However, it is still very early days for MOOCs. The quality of the education provision is highly variable, with many courses offering only recordings of lectures, and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes, research projects or extensive library access. Besides, wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource. Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class.
Considering the challenges, some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate (蒸发). But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education, are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands, and are well worthy of serious consideration.
【答案】①MOOCs；②no requirement；③cannot afford；④no formal qualification；⑤Potentials；⑥providing；⑦Challenges；⑧evaporating；⑨particularly difficult delivery；⑩considering。

22．（2013·湖南）Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
“Let's Talk”：The Free Advice Project
A few weeks ago, I took a walk around Washington Square Park. I met all the usual people：street performers, the Pigeon Guy, a group of guitarists singing in harmony. But off to the side, sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different—giving free advice.
A week or two later, I set up an interview with her and we discussed her project at length.
Lisa Podell, 32, started the Free Advice Project this past May. It began as an experiment；she sat in Washington Square Park for a day with a sign that read “Free Advice” as a simple way to reach out to people. Podell was astonished at the strong response.
Podell admits that she was doubtful at first, but now she describes the project as mutually (相互地) beneficial. People learn from her—but she also learns from them. She says that the majority of those who come to her are dealing with some pretty heavy issues, and they expect her not only to listen, but also provide real answers.
Having worked as a full time teacher and now as an adolescent advisor, Podell believes that talking things out is an important in the decision-making process.
Sometimes, people walk around all day, keeping their problems in their own head and thinking about them in the same way. Podell simply strives to provide people with perspective.
I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project. Podell said she would like to promote it to each public space in New York, which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city.
It was truly inspiring to meet someone with such a big heart, especially in New York—where it is sometimes very hard to find anybody to listen.(303 words)
（1）In what way was Podell different from other people in the park (No more than 6 words)
（2）What do people in need expect Podell to do (No more than 10 words)
（3）According to Podell, what should people do when making decisions
(No more than 6 words)
（4）How would Podell promote her project in New York (No more than 15 words)
【答案】（1）She was giving free advice.
（2）They expect her to listen and provide real answers
（3）They should talk things out.
（4）She would promote it to each public space with the help of volunteers.
【知识点】任务型阅读；读写任务
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了由Lisa Podell在今年 5 月创办的"我们谈谈"一项免费的咨询项目。作为一个全职老师和现在青少年的顾问，Lisa Podell认为谈论是决策过程中有很重要的作用。Lisa Podell说她想在整个纽约市的公共空间开展由志愿者参与的这项活动。
（1）根据第一段中的“But off to the side, sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different—giving free advice.”再通过第三段中的”Lisa Podell, 32, started the Free Advice Project this past May“可知a woman就是Podell，故答案为：She was giving free advice.
（2）根据第四段中的“and they expect her not only to listen, but also provide real answers.”由于字数限制，这里需要将答案改为简单句：They expect her to listen and provide real answer.
（3）根据第五段中的“Podell believes that talking things out is an important in the decision-making process.”得出答案为：They should talk things out.
（4）根据倒数第二段中的“I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project. Podell said she would like to promote it to each public space in New York, which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city. ”由于字数限制可将从句合并到简单句中变成： She would promote it to each public space with the help of volunteers.

Planning a visit to the UK Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost 169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost 118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you're looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was 95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was 75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just 62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, available for 420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London's ‘Boris bikes' have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or 5 per day). (358 words)
（1）The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may __________.

In my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.
Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.
From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy's classroom. I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don't know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.
Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things. (360 words)
（1）“Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.
A．a program directed by Dorothy
B．a course given by the author
C．an activity held by the students
D．an organization sponsored by Union college
（2）In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing __________.
A．the long track B．the poor houses
C．the same train D．the winding road
（3）Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by __________.
A．a warm welcome B．the sight of poke greens
C．Dorothy's latest projects D．a big dinner made for her
（4）What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph
A．She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.
B．She got a pen as a gift from the author.
C．She passed the required assessment.
D．She received her Ph.
（5）What does the author mainly intend to tell us
A．Whatever you do, you must do it carefully.
B．Whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment.
C．However poor you are, you have the right to education,
D．Wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.

It's such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it's pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
It's a library built with love.
A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That's what we're going to do for our spring break!”
Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn't see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy horses, and made a door of glass.
After adding the library's final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
They stocked it with 20 or so books they'd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids' favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.
Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
The project's best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.” (317 words)
（1）In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”
A．It owns a yellow roof.
B．It stands near a sidewalk.
C．It protects book lovers from the sun.
D．It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.
（2）Janey got the idea to build a library from __________.
A．a visit to Brian Williams
B．a spring break with her family
C．a book sent by one of her neighbors
D．a report on a Wisconsin-based organization
（3）The library was built __________.
A．by a ship supply company B．on the basis of toy horses
C．like a mailbox D．with glass
（4）What can we infer about the signboard
A．It was made by a user of the library.
B．It marked a final touch to the library.
C．It aimed at making the library last long.
D．It indicated the library was a family property.
（5）The passage tells us that the users __________.
A．donate books to the library
B．get paid to collect books for the library
C．receive thank-you notes for using the library
D．visit the library over 5 times on average daily
四、短文填空
20．（2013·湖南）Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.
When kids in parts of the world want to play, they often make soccer balls out of trash tied together with string. “ the areas used for playing fields are often rough and rocky, millions of real balls go flat (变瘪) 24 hours,” says Tim Jahnigen, a California businessman. Determined to solve this problem, created an indestructible ball called the One World Futbol.
The ball is made of special material, ethylene-vinyl acetate foam. It's lightweight, it's flexible, and— important—it holds its shape.
The One World Futbol needs no pump won't wear out, even on rough surfaces. When tested, withstood (经受住) being crushed by a car, and even being chewed on by a lion.
Although it costs more to produce a typical soccer ball, Jahnigen estimates the One World Futbol can last 30 years. So far, it's been given to kids in 143 countries.
