13．（2015·四川）阅读理解
Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers, But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.
Mothers have long known that their home worked was just heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labors, they would earn as much as￡172,000 a year.
The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ￡30, 000 more than the Prime Minister earns.
By analyzing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week,40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18,it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labor, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jibs”, with psychologist（心理学家）a close second.
It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional（情感的）emand as the hardest thing about motherhood.
Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.
The study shoes mothers matter all year long and not just on, Mother's Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing（投入）in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.
（1）How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister
A．￡30,000. B．￡142,000. C．￡172,000. D．￡202,000.
（2）The biggest challenge for most mothers is from.
A．emotional demand B．low pay for work
C．heavy workload D．lack of training
（3）What is stressed in the last paragraph
A．Mothers' importance shows in family all year long.
B．The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.
C．Mothers' devotion to children can hardly be calculated.
D．Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.
（4）What can we conclude from the study
A．Mothers' working hours should be largely reduced.
B．Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.
C．Mothers' labor is of a higher value than it is realized.
D．Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.
14．（2015·四川）阅读理解
Their cheery song brightens many a winter's day. But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all night一as well as during the day, British-based researchers say.
David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.
Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.
He told people at a conference, "There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy."
And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, "In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying `You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls '.During the breeding(繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep."
Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.
However, some birds thrive(兴旺)in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.
（1）According to Dr Dominoni's study, what cause robins to sing so much
A．The breeding season. B．The light in modern life
C．The dangerous environment. D．The noise from heavy machinery.
（2）What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output
A．The environment might be polluted.
B．The birds' health might be damaged.
C．The industry cost might be increased.
D．The people's hearing might be affected.
（3）What does the underlined word "nocturnal" in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Active at night. B．Inactive at night.
C．Active during the day. D．Inactive during the day.
（4）Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments
A．Because there are fewer dangers.
B．Because there is more food to eat.
C．Because there is less light pollution
D．Because there are more places to take shelter.
15．（2015·四川）阅读理解
No one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rock‘n'roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden pole s to the stones and rolled then across the sand, the scientists say.
“Technically, I think what they're proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.
People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there's no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.
The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.
Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.
However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way , who led the new study . West said , “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction . I thought , ‘Why don't they just try rolling the things '“A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides , he realized . That , he notes , should make a block of stone” a lot easier to roll than a square”.
So he tried it.
He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.
They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.
West hasn't tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn't have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.
（1）It's widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ______.
A．rolling them on roads B．pushing them over the sand
C．sliding them on smooth paths D．dragging them on some poles
（2）The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means____.
A．made the path wet B．made the path hard
C．made the path wide D．made the path slippery
（3）What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 7 refer to
A．Rolling the blocks with poles attached.
B．Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.
C．Rolling poles to move the blocks.
D．Rolling the blocks with fat.
（4）Why is rolling better than sliding according to West
A．Because more force is needed for sliding.
B．Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.
C．Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.
D．Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.
（5）What is the text mainly about
A．An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.
B．An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.
C．An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.
D．An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.

五、阅读表达
17．（2015·四川）阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题，请清楚问题后的词数要求。
It was a hot summer day that found me running down the street with a dollar in my sweaty hand. The closer I got to Sam & Joe's Stationery Store, the more excited I was. After all, a dollar was a tidy sum for an 11-year-old boy in 1961.
Out of breath, I swung open the door and got a blast of cold air that instantly cooled me off. I was in a place of pure happiness. Sam & Joe's had it all—books, candy, toys, baseball cards，puzzles and games. I went directly to the bar and ordered a bottle of soda. There I sat, considering my next move.
Books always came first. I picked out five titles. Next came the candy, rows and rows of it. I chose five candy bars, which brought my total to 75 cents. Then a bottle of cold orange juice, a bag of chips and a pack of Ted Williams baseball cards. After paying the clerk, I still had 5 cents.
I hurried directly to my backyard, where an apple tree patiently waited for me. There, sitting in the shade against its strong trunk, I read my books, ate my candy and drank my orange juice.
As I sat in my own personal heaven, I started thinking about having more. That's when a fantastic life—changing idea popped into head: If I could get more money, I could buy more books I liked, buy anything I wanted. That's how it all started.
（1）How did the boy feel on his way to Sam & Joe's(no more than 5 words)
（2）What does “a tidy sum” mean in Paragraph 1 (no more than 5 words)
（3）What did the boy consider doing first after he ordered soda (no more than 5 words)

18．【答案】①加上to ； ②tell改为told； ③friend改为friends ； ④sing改为singing； ⑤many改为；⑥so改为but； ⑦How改为What； ⑧are改为were； ⑨him改为them ； ⑩去掉with。
【知识点】短文改错
【解析】【分析】文章主要通过一封求助信，写出了写信人的困扰。作者交了三个新朋友，经常一起去卡拉OK唱歌，但其实作者并不喜欢这样，他想知道自己该怎么做才不会失去这段友谊。
① 考查动词。句意为：我真地很想和你分享一下我经历的问题。want to do，固定短语“想要做......”，want用不定式担当状语，故加上to。
②考查时态。句意：正如我上次告诉你的那样。根据时间状语last time可知，此句需要用一般过去时，故把tell改成told。
③ 考查名词的复数。句意：我在这儿交了三个新朋友。名词friend为可数名词，其前有three修饰，需要用复数形式，故把friend改成friends。
④考查动名词担当宾语。本句考查句型spend…（in）doing sth结构，故把sing改成singing。
⑤考查代词。句意为：那真的花费很多。根据句意，指的是花费很多钱，故用much而非many。
⑥考查连词。上一分句意为：我不想再去；下一分句意为：我怕失去他们的友谊，两个分句之间有转折关系，故把so改成but。
⑦ 考查疑问词的选择。本句中do之后缺少宾语，表示事情，故用what而非how。注意首字母要大写。
⑧ 考查虚拟语气。句意：如果你是我,…。根据句子可知，此处为虚拟语气，与现在事实不相符，故把are改成were。
⑨考查代词。句意：你会和他们说吗？根据上文可知，作者交了三个朋友，故him改为them 。
⑩考查动词。句意：请帮帮我，给我一些建议。动词help为及物动词，其后接宾语时无需加介词，故去掉with。
【点评】本题考点涉及动词，时态，名词，代词，连词，虚拟语气等多个知识点的考查，覆盖面广，综合性强，难度较大，区分度高。

13．（2015·四川）阅读理解
Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers, But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.
Mothers have long known that their home worked was just heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labors, they would earn as much as￡172,000 a year.
The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ￡30, 000 more than the Prime Minister earns.
By analyzing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week,40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18,it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labor, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jibs”, with psychologist（心理学家）a close second.

14．（2015·四川）阅读理解
Their cheery song brightens many a winter's day. But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all night一as well as during the day, British-based researchers say.
David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.
Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.
He told people at a conference, "There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy."
And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, "In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying `You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls '.During the breeding(繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep."
Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.
However, some birds thrive(兴旺)in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.
（1）According to Dr Dominoni's study, what cause robins to sing so much
A．The breeding season. B．The light in modern life
C．The dangerous environment. D．The noise from heavy machinery.
（2）What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output
A．The environment might be polluted.
B．The birds' health might be damaged.
C．The industry cost might be increased.
D．The people's hearing might be affected.
（3）What does the underlined word "nocturnal" in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Active at night. B．Inactive at night.
C．Active during the day. D．Inactive during the day.
（4）Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments
A．Because there are fewer dangers.
B．Because there is more food to eat.
C．Because there is less light pollution
D．Because there are more places to take shelter.
【答案】（1）B
（2）B
（3）A
（4）A
【知识点】词义猜测题；细节理解题；科普环保类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项研究调查的结果，由于人类制造的光线问题，越来越多的鸟类如知更鸟在晚上也会唱歌，这极大地影响了鸟的健康。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, take away signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clock, leading to them being wide awake”可知选择B。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy."可知，唱歌唱得越多，就会损耗更多的能量，故选择B。
（3）考查词义猜测。根据第五段中的”And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being.“可知乌鸦和海鸥情况也一样，也就是说这两种鸟晚上也唱歌，故选择A，指晚上很兴奋。
（4）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的”It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.“可知，它们的天敌都去了安静的地方，故选择A，指在这些工业区，天敌更少，也就是危险更少。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和词义猜测两个题型的考查，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析、推理，从而选出正确答案。
15．（2015·四川）阅读理解
No one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rock‘n'roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden pole s to the stones and rolled then across the sand, the scientists say.
“Technically, I think what they're proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.
People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there's no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.
The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.
Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.
However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way , who led the new study . West said , “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction . I thought , ‘Why don't they just try rolling the things '“A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides , he realized . That , he notes , should make a block of stone” a lot easier to roll than a square”.
So he tried it.
He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.
They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.
West hasn't tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn't have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.
（1）It's widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ______.
A．rolling them on roads B．pushing them over the sand
C．sliding them on smooth paths D．dragging them on some poles
（2）The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means____.
A．made the path wet B．made the path hard
C．made the path wide D．made the path slippery
（3）What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 7 refer to
A．Rolling the blocks with poles attached.
B．Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.
C．Rolling poles to move the blocks.
D．Rolling the blocks with fat.
（4）Why is rolling better than sliding according to West
A．Because more force is needed for sliding.
B．Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.
C．Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.
D．Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.
（5）What is the text mainly about
A．An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.
B．An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.
C．An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.
D．An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.
【答案】（1）C
（2）D
（3）A
（4）D
（5）D

It was a hot summer day that found me running down the street with a dollar in my sweaty hand. The closer I got to Sam & Joe's Stationery Store, the more excited I was. After all, a dollar was a tidy sum for an 11-year-old boy in 1961.
Out of breath, I swung open the door and got a blast of cold air that instantly cooled me off. I was in a place of pure happiness. Sam & Joe's had it all—books, candy, toys, baseball cards，puzzles and games. I went directly to the bar and ordered a bottle of soda. There I sat, considering my next move.
Books always came first. I picked out five titles. Next came the candy, rows and rows of it. I chose five candy bars, which brought my total to 75 cents. Then a bottle of cold orange juice, a bag of chips and a pack of Ted Williams baseball cards. After paying the clerk, I still had 5 cents.
I hurried directly to my backyard, where an apple tree patiently waited for me. There, sitting in the shade against its strong trunk, I read my books, ate my candy and drank my orange juice.
As I sat in my own personal heaven, I started thinking about having more. That's when a fantastic life—changing idea popped into head: If I could get more money, I could buy more books I liked, buy anything I wanted. That's how it all started.
（1）How did the boy feel on his way to Sam & Joe's(no more than 5 words)
（2）What does “a tidy sum” mean in Paragraph 1 (no more than 5 words)
（3）What did the boy consider doing first after he ordered soda (no more than 5 words)
（4）What did the boy do while reading (no more than 5 words)
（5）Where was the boy's “personal heaven” (no more than 9 words)
【答案】（1）He felt excited
（2）Much/A lot of /A great amount of money
（3）He considered buying books

Grace
【答案】①加上to ； ②tell改为told； ③friend改为friends ； ④sing改为singing； ⑤many改为；⑥so改为but； ⑦How改为What； ⑧are改为were； ⑨him改为them ； ⑩去掉with。
【知识点】短文改错
【解析】【分析】文章主要通过一封求助信，写出了写信人的困扰。作者交了三个新朋友，经常一起去卡拉OK唱歌，但其实作者并不喜欢这样，他想知道自己该怎么做才不会失去这段友谊。
① 考查动词。句意为：我真地很想和你分享一下我经历的问题。want to do，固定短语“想要做......”，want用不定式担当状语，故加上to。
②考查时态。句意：正如我上次告诉你的那样。根据时间状语last time可知，此句需要用一般过去时，故把tell改成told。
③ 考查名词的复数。句意：我在这儿交了三个新朋友。名词friend为可数名词，其前有three修饰，需要用复数形式，故把friend改成friends。
④考查动名词担当宾语。本句考查句型spend…（in）doing sth结构，故把sing改成singing。
⑤考查代词。句意为：那真的花费很多。根据句意，指的是花费很多钱，故用much而非many。
⑥考查连词。上一分句意为：我不想再去；下一分句意为：我怕失去他们的友谊，两个分句之间有转折关系，故把so改成but。
⑦ 考查疑问词的选择。本句中do之后缺少宾语，表示事情，故用what而非how。注意首字母要大写。
⑧ 考查虚拟语气。句意：如果你是我,…。根据句子可知，此处为虚拟语气，与现在事实不相符，故把are改成were。
⑨考查代词。句意：你会和他们说吗？根据上文可知，作者交了三个朋友，故him改为them 。
⑩考查动词。句意：请帮帮我，给我一些建议。动词help为及物动词，其后接宾语时无需加介词，故去掉with。
【点评】本题考点涉及动词，时态，名词，代词，连词，虚拟语气等多个知识点的考查，覆盖面广，综合性强，难度较大，区分度高。
