第二部分阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题，满分40分）第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

41．（10分）From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation．When children are little we make them read aloud，before the teacher and other children，so that we can be sure they\"know\"all the words they are reading．This means that when they don't know a word，they are going to make a mistake，right in front of everyone．After having taught fifth﹣grade classes for four years，I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books，and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously．

One day soon after school had started，I said to them，\"Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before．I would like you to read a lot of books this year，but I want you to read them only for pleasure．I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not．If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it，that's enough for me．And I'm not going to ask you what words mean．\" The children sat stunned and silent．Was this a teacher talking？One girl，who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time，looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished．Then，still looking at me，she said slowly and seriously，\"Mr．Holt，do you really mean that？\"I said just as seriously，\"I mean every word of it．\"

During the spring she really astonished me．One day，she was reading at her desk．From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was．I said to myself，\"It can't be，\"and went to take a closer look．Sure enough，she was reading Moby Dick，in the edition with woodcuts．I said，\"Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going？\"She answered，\"Oh，sure，but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part．\"

This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is﹣﹣﹣an exciting，joyous adventure．Find something，dive into it，take the good parts，skip the bad parts，get what you can out of it，go on to something else．How different is our mean﹣spirited，picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of\"understanding\"that can be dug out of a book．

41．According to the passage，children's fear and dislike of books may result from ．

A．reading little and think little． B．reading often and adventurously C．being made to read too much

D．being made to read aloud before others 42、The teacher told his students to read ． A．for enjoyment B．for knowledge

C．for a larger vocabulary D．for higher scores in exams

43．Upon hearing the teacher's talk，the children probably felt that ． A．it sounded stupid

B．it was not surprising at all C．it sounded too good to be true

D．it was no different from other teachers'talk

44．Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage？

A．She skipped over those easy parts while reading．

B．She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks． C．She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books． D．She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school． 45．From the teacher's point of view， ．

A．children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading B．children should be left to decide what to read and how to read C．reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school D．reading involves understanding every little piece of information．

46．（8分）Graphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information，especially numbers，percentages，and other data．A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret．That can be a lot more efficient than pages and pages explaining the data．

Graphs can seem frightening，but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story．The graph has a title，a main idea，and supporting details．You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text． Most graphs have a few basic parts：a caption or introduction paragraph，a title，a legend or key，and labeled axes．An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data．Captions will usually tell you where the data from（for example，a scientific study of 400African elephants from 1980to 2005）．Captions usually summarize the author's main point as well．The title is very important．It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown．A legend，also called a key，is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph．Many graphs，including bar graphs and line graphs，have two axes that form a corner．Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph．Each axis will always have a label tells you what each axis measures． Bar Graphs

A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts．In Graph 1，we see that the x﹣axis showsgrades students earned，and the y﹣axis shows how many students earned each grade．You can see that 6students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6on the vertical measurement．There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this （See Graph 1） Line Graphs

A line graph looks similar to a bar graph，but instead ofbars，it plots points and connects them with a line．It has thesame parts as a bar graph﹣﹣﹣two labeled axes﹣﹣﹣and can be read the same way．To read a line graph，it's important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points．This type of graph is most commonly used to show howsomething changes over time．Here is a graph that charts howfar a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration （See Graph 2）．

The unit of measurement for the x﹣axis is days．The unit of measurement for the y﹣axis is kilometers．Thuswe can see that，on the first day，the pipit flew 20kilometers．The line segment goes up between Day 1and Day 2，which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2．If the line segment angled down，as between Day 4and Day 5，it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before．This line graph is a quick，visual way to tell the reader about the bird's migration． Pie Graphs

A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie．The circle is divided intosections，

and each section represents a fraction of the data．The graph iscommonly used to show percentages； the whole pie represents 100percent，so each piece is a fraction of the whole．

A pie graph might include a legend，or it might use icons or labels within each slice．This pie graph shows one month's expenses（See Graph 3）． Food 25Movies12 Clothing 36Savings20 Books $7

46．When used in a graph，a legend is ． A．a guide to the symbols and colors B．an introduction paragraph C．the main idea D．the data

47．What is the total number of students who earned a C or better？ A.4． B.6． C.10． D.20．

48．The bird covered the longest distance on ． A．Day 1． B．Day 2． C．Day 3． D．Day 4． 49．Which of the following cost Amy most？

A．Food． B．Books． C．Movies． D．Clothing．

50．（10分）If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars，we would go in darkness happily，the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal（夜间活动的）species on this planet．Instead，we are diurnal creatures，with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light．This is a basic evolutionary fact，even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings．Yet it's the only way to explain what we've done to the night：We've engineered it to receive us by filling it with light．

The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences﹣﹣﹣called light pollution﹣﹣﹣whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study．Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design，which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into sky．Ill﹣designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels﹣﹣﹣and light rhythms﹣﹣﹣to which many forms of life，including ourselves，have adapted．Wherever human light spills into the natural world，some aspect of life is affected． In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars，leaving behind a vacant haze（霾） that mirrors our fear of the dark．We've grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night﹣﹣﹣dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadows on Earth﹣﹣﹣is wholly beyond our experience，beyond memory almost．

We've lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country，when nothing could be further from the truth．Among mammals alone，the number of nocturnal species is astonishing．Light is a powerful biological force，and on many species it acts as a magnet（磁铁）．The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds

and seabirds being\"captured\"by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms．Migrating at night，birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings．

Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal，throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint，including their nighttime breeding choruses．Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs．Like most other creatures，we do need darkness．Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare，to our internal clockwork，as light itself．

Living in a glare of our own making，we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage﹣﹣﹣the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night．In a very real sense，light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe，to forget the scale of our being，which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way﹣﹣﹣the edge of our galaxy﹣﹣﹣arching overhead．

50．According to the passage，human beings ． A．prefer to live in the darkness B．are used to living in the day light C．were curious about the midnight world

D．had to stay at home with the light of the moon

51．What does\"it\"（Paragraph 1）most probably refer to？ A．The night B．The moon C．The sky D．The planet

52．The writer mentions birds and frogs to ． A．provide examples of animal protection B．show how light pollution affects animals C．compare the living habits of other species

D．explain why the number of certain species has declined 53．It is implied in the last paragraph that ． A．light pollution does harm to the eyesight of animals B．light pollution has destroyed some of the world heritages C．human beings cannot go to the outer space

D．human beings should reflect on their position in the universe． ． ．What might be the best title for the passage？ A．The Magic Light B．The Orange Haze C．The Disappearing Night D．The Rhythms of Nature．

55．（12分）In 2004，when my daughter Becky was ten，she and my husband，Joe，were united in their desire for a dog．As for me，I shared none of their canine lust．

But why，they pleaded．\"Because I don't have time to take care of a dog．\"But we'll do it．\"Really？You're going to walk the dog？Feed the dog？Bathe the dog？\"Yes，yes and yes．\"I don't believe you．\"We will．We promise．

They didn't．From day two （everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day），neither thought to walk the dog．While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots，to schedule her vet appointments，to feed and clean her，Misty knew this on day one．As she looked up at the three new humans in her

life （small，medium，and large），she calculated，\"The medium one is the sucker in the pack．\"

Quickly，she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld（心灵融合）．She'd look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers，beam her need，and then wait，trusting I would understand﹣﹣﹣which，strangely，I almost always did．In no time，she became my fifth appendage（附肢），snoring on my stomach as I watched television．

Even so，part of me continued to resent walking duty．Joe and Becky had promised．Not fair，I'd balk（不心甘情愿地做） silently as she and I walked．\"Not fair，\"I'd loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home．

Then one day﹣﹣﹣January 1，2007，to be exact﹣﹣﹣my husband's doctor uttered an unthinkable word：leukemia （白血病）．With that，I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital，doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort．During those six months of hospitalizations，Becky，12at that time，adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school．My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies．Every part of my life changed； no part of my old routine remained． Save one：Misty still needed walking．At the beginning，when friends offered to take her through her paces，I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with．

As the months went by，I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty．The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet，peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded．The

evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise．

When serious illness visits your household，it's not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar．Pretty much everyone you know acts differently．

Not Misty．Take her for a walk，and she had no interest in Joe's blood or bone marrow test results．On the street or in the park，she had only one thing on her mind：squirrels!She was so joyful that even on the worst days，she could make me smile．On a daily basis，she reminded me that life goes on． After Joe died in 2009，Misty slept on his pillow．

I'm grateful﹣﹣﹣to a point．The truth is，after years of balking，I've come to enjoy my walks with Misty．As I watch her chase a squirrel，throwing her whole being into the here﹣and﹣now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory，she reminded me，too，that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future，there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment．

55．Why didn't the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story？ ． A．She was afraid the dog would get the family into trouble． B．It would be her business to take care of the dog． C．Her husband and daughter were united as one． D．She didn't want to spoil her daughter．

56．Which of the following is the closestin meaning to\"The medium one is the sucker in the pack．\" ．

A．\"The middle﹣aged person loves me most．\" B．\"The medium﹣sized woman is the hostess．\"

C．\"The man in the middle is the one who has the final say．\" D．\"The woman is the kind and trustworthy one in the family．\" 57．It can be inferred from Paragraph 3that ． A．Misty was quite clever

B．Misty could solve math problems C．the write was a slow learner D．no one walked Misty the first day

58．The story came to its turning point when ． A．Joe died in 2009 B．Joe fell ill in 2007

C．the writer began to walk the dog D．the dog tried to please the writer

59．Why did the writer continue to walk Misty while Joe was in hospital？ A．Misty couldn't live without her． B．Her friends didn't offer any help．

C．The walk provided her with spiritual comfort． D．She didn't want Misty to be others'companion．

60．What is the message the writer wants to convey in the passage？ A．One should learn to enjoy hard times． B．A disaster can change everything in life．

C．Moments of joy suggest that there is still hope ahead．

D．People will change their attitude toward you when you are in difficulty..

61．（10分）下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句（第61﹣65题）．请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出适合各段落的首句，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑．选项中有一项是多余选项．

A．Come in with something to say． B．Prepare general comments． C．Bring materials with you． D．Don't make them wait． E．Have no fear． F．Go it alone．

One of the best things you can do any time in the semester is go see the professor．So hoof on over to an office hour and have some one﹣on﹣one face time with someone who'll help you master the material and improve your grade，to boot．But how should you have this conversation with the professor？Here are five insider tips about how to make that office hour really count．

61． No need to get all bent out of shape about going to see the professor．The professor would actually like to see you and answer your questions．Believe it or not，he or she is on your side and is eager to see you do well．And besides，he or she has seen many students stupider than you，so nothing you're going toask will set the record for stupidity．

62． Even though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner，the office hour will go better if it's just you and the professor．You'll get in more questions，the discussion will be tailored to whatyou need most help on，and two﹣party communication is almost always more productive than committee work．Your friend can wait outside for the discussion．

63． If you can't make the official office hours，most professors are willing to make individual appointments to help you out．If you're lucky enough to land such an accommodation，though，be sure you're 100percent on time．There's nothing that ticks off a professor more than making him﹣or herself available for a custom office hour only to find that you don't care enough to come on time．And besides，the professor might leave after ten minutes，which would make your trip a total loss．

． If you're meeting with the professor to go over a paper or test，or to ask questions about a particular lecture or reading，make sure you bring that paper or test，or your lecture notes or a copy of the article．The professor doesn't remember the comments he or she wrote on your individual piece of work﹣﹣﹣though he or she will be able to recall them after just a brief glance at your work．And if you have your lecture notes or the article in hand，you and the professor will be able to examine specific points that are confusing to you，rather than just talking in a general way about the contents．

65． Office hours almost always go better if you bring a few specific questions to the meeting．It's almost never good to start a meeting with general comments such as\"I didn't understand what you said about[main topic of the course]\"or\"I

couldn't understand any of your lectures last week．\"Much better is to come in with two or three conversation﹣starters about a specific concept，point，or problem you didn't understand．Keep in mind that in a fifteen﹣minute office hour （which is how long these things usually last），two or three questions are usually the most you'll have time to discuss．

第三部分：写作（共两节，满分10分）第一节：短文改错（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）

66．（10分）下面短文中有10处语言错误．请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词． 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写上该加的词． 删除：把多余的词用斜线（\\）划掉．

修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写上修改后的词． 注意：1．每处错误及修改均仅限一词；

2．只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分．

My old classroom was interesting because three side of the classroom were made from glass．I enjoyed sit close to the windows and looking at the view．On the left﹣hand side of the class，I could easy see the football field．In the morning，it was full of the students exercising．The view from the back of the classroom is also splendid．Close to the school there was a beautiful park with many trees around them．Farther in the distance，I could not enjoy the view of snowy mountains．On the right side of the class was the road，I was always interested to see the drivers in hurry in the morning．The position of the classroom with its view made me felt like I was dreaming．If I was only a child when I studied

in that classroom，I will never forget it．

41．（10分）（2015•浙江）From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation．When children are

little we make them read aloud，before the teacher and other children，so that we can be sure they\"know\"all the words they are reading．This means that when they don't know a word，they are going to make a mistake，right in front of everyone．After having taught fifth﹣grade classes for four years，I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books，and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously．

One day soon after school had started，I said to them，\"Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before．I would like you to read a lot of books this year，but I want you to read them only for pleasure．I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not．If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it，that's enough for me．And I'm not going to ask you what words mean．\" The children sat stunned and silent．Was this a teacher talking？One girl，who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time，looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished．Then，still looking at me，she said slowly and seriously，\"Mr．Holt，do you really mean that？\"I said just as seriously，\"I mean every word of it．\"

During the spring she really astonished me．One day，she was reading at her desk．From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was．I said to myself，\"It can't be，\"and went to take a closer look．Sure enough，she was reading Moby Dick，in the edition with woodcuts．I said，\"Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going？\"She answered，\"Oh，sure，but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part．\"

This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is﹣﹣﹣an exciting，joyous adventure．Find something，dive into it，take the good parts，skip the bad parts，get what you can out of it，go on to something else．How different is our mean﹣spirited，picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of\"understanding\"that can be dug out of a book．

41．According to the passage，children's fear and dislike of books may result from D ．

A．reading little and think little． B．reading often and adventurously C．being made to read too much

D．being made to read aloud before others 42、The teacher told his students to read A ． A．for enjoyment B．for knowledge

passage？ C

A．She skipped over those easy parts while reading．

B．She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks． C．She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books． D．She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school． 45．From the teacher's point of view， B ．

A．children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading B．children should be left to decide what to read and how to read C．reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school D．reading involves understanding every little piece of information．

【解答】41．D 细节理解题．由第一段第三句\"This means that when they don't know a word，they are going to make a mistake，right in front of everyone．\"可知当他们不知道单词的时候，他们会犯错，而且是在所有的人面前犯错，这会给他们带来一些害怕，故选D．

46．（8分）（2015•浙江）Graphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information，especially numbers，percentages，and other data．A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret．That can be a lot more efficient than pages and pages explaining the data．

Graphs can seem frightening，but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story．The graph has a title，a main idea，and supporting details．You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text． Most graphs have a few basic parts：a caption or introduction paragraph，a title，a legend or key，and labeled axes．An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data．Captions will usually tell you where the data from（for example，a scientific study of 400African elephants from 1980to 2005）．Captions usually summarize the author's main point as well．The title is very important．It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown．A legend，also called a key，is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph．Many graphs，including bar graphs and line graphs，

have two axes that form a corner．Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph．Each axis will always have a label tells you what each axis measures． Bar Graphs

A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts．In Graph 1，we see that the x﹣axis showsgrades students earned，and the y﹣axis shows how many students earned each grade．You can see that 6students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6on the vertical measurement．There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this （See Graph 1） Line Graphs

A line graph looks similar to a bar graph，but instead ofbars，it plots points and connects them with a line．It has thesame parts as a bar graph﹣﹣﹣two labeled axes﹣﹣﹣and can be read the same way．To read a line graph，it's important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points．This type of graph is most commonly used to show howsomething changes over time．Here is a graph that charts howfar a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration （See Graph 2）．

The unit of measurement for the x﹣axis is days．The unit of measurement for the y﹣axis is kilometers．Thuswe can see that，on the first day，the pipit flew 20kilometers．The line segment goes up between Day 1and Day 2，which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2．If the line segment angled down，as between Day 4and Day 5，it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day

before．This line graph is a quick，visual way to tell the reader about the bird's migration． Pie Graphs

A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie．The circle is divided intosections，and each section represents a fraction of the data．The graph iscommonly used to show percentages； the whole pie represents 100percent，so each piece is a fraction of the whole．

A pie graph might include a legend，or it might use icons or labels within each slice．This pie graph shows one month's expenses（See Graph 3）． Food 25Movies12 Clothing 36Savings20 Books $7

46．When used in a graph，a legend is A ． A．a guide to the symbols and colors B．an introduction paragraph C．the main idea D．the data

47．What is the total number of students who earned a C or better？ D A.4． B.6． C.10． D.20．

48．The bird covered the longest distance on C ． A．Day 1． B．Day 2． C．Day 3． D．Day 4． 49．Which of the following cost Amy most？ D

A．Food． B．Books． C．Movies． D．Clothing．

【分析】这是一篇说明文．介绍的是图表的类型及其相关作用，通过对条形图，线形图和饼形图的介绍，让学生学会读图，培养学生运用读图解决实际问题的能力．

【解答】46．A 细节理解题．根据第三段的\"A legend，also called a key，is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph．\"可知：一个图例，是指一个指导图中使用的颜色和符号，答案可以直接从原文中找到，与答案A表述一致，故答案选A． 47．D 推理判断题．根据文中\"In Graph 1，we see that the x﹣axis shows grades that students earned，and the y﹣axis shows bow many students earned each grade．You can see that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the vertical measurement．\"这句话的表述可以得出答案．另外其实不需要看文字说明，直接看图读图就可以得出答案．C以上就是包含A，B，C，其中A为6，B 为10，C为4，所以答案为20，故答案选D．

48．C 细节理解题．不需要看文字说明，直接看图读图就可以得出答案．从曲线图可以得出答案是Day3，故答案选C．

49．D 细节理解题．不需要看文字说明，直接看图读图就可以得出答案． 从扇形图可以得出Clothing占比例最多，故答案选D．

50．（10分）（2015•浙江）If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars，we would go in darkness happily，the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal（夜间活动的）species on this planet．Instead，

we are diurnal creatures，with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light．This is a basic evolutionary fact，even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings．Yet it's the only way to explain what we've done to the night：We've engineered it to receive us by filling it with light．

The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences﹣﹣﹣called light pollution﹣﹣﹣whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study．Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design，which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into sky．Ill﹣designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels﹣﹣﹣and light rhythms﹣﹣﹣to which many forms of life，including ourselves，have adapted．Wherever human light spills into the natural world，some aspect of life is affected． In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars，leaving behind a vacant haze（霾） that mirrors our fear of the dark．We've grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night﹣﹣﹣dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadows on Earth﹣﹣﹣is wholly beyond our experience，beyond memory almost．

We've lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country，when nothing could be further from the truth．Among mammals alone，the number of nocturnal species is astonishing．Light is a powerful biological force，and on many species it acts as a magnet（磁铁）．The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being\"captured\"by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms．Migrating at night，birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings．

Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal，throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint，including their nighttime breeding choruses．Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs．Like most other creatures，we do need darkness．Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare，to our internal clockwork，as light itself．

Living in a glare of our own making，we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage﹣﹣﹣the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night．In a very real sense，light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe，to forget the scale of our being，which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way﹣﹣﹣the edge of our galaxy﹣﹣﹣arching overhead．

50．According to the passage，human beings B ． A．prefer to live in the darkness B．are used to living in the day light C．were curious about the midnight world

D．had to stay at home with the light of the moon

51．What does\"it\"（Paragraph 1）most probably refer to？ A A．The night B．The moon C．The sky D．The planet 52．The writer mentions birds and frogs to B ． A．provide examples of animal protection B．show how light pollution affects animals

C．compare the living habits of other species

D．human beings should reflect on their position in the universe． C ． ．What might be the best title for the passage？ A．The Magic Light B．The Orange Haze C．The Disappearing Night D．The Rhythms of Nature．

【分析】如果人类正常的生活在月光和星光下，我们将会快乐地走到黑暗中．我们可见的午夜世界，是在这个星球上的大量夜间活动的物种．相反，我们是日行动物，眼睛适应了太阳的光线．这是一个进化的基本事实，尽管我们大多数人不认为自己是日间活动的生物，但这是唯一的方法去解释我们对于夜晚做了什么：我们设计了光，让光充满星空． 这种工程的益处带来的是所谓的光污染﹣﹣﹣科学家只是现在才开始研究它的影响．光污染很大程度上是设计光线的结果，它允许人造的光照向天空．设计不充分的灯光会洗刷夜晚的黑暗，彻底改变光的水平﹣﹣﹣和光的节奏﹣﹣﹣包括我们自己在内的许多生命形式都已经适应了，只要人造的光照到自然界，生活的某些方面就会受到影响． 在大多数的城市，天空好像被掏空了星星，只留下一个空的阴霾，反射了我们对黑暗的恐惧．我们已经如此的习惯了这种橙色霾以致于一个黑夜原本的壮观﹣﹣﹣黑暗足以让金星在地球上投下阴影﹣﹣已经完全超越我们的感受，几乎超出了我们的记忆． 当什么也不可能是事实的时候，我们已经点亮了夜晚，好像它是一个没被占领的国家．仅哺乳动物中，夜行动物的数量都是惊人的．光是一个强大的生物力，并在许多物种

中担当着一块磁铁的角色．影响是如此的强大，以致于科学家说到鸣禽和海鸟被\"捕获\"都是通过在陆地上的探照灯或是在海上石油平台的轻气弹的光．夜间迁徙的时候，鸟往往撞向明亮的高层建筑．

生活在灯火通明的公路附近的青蛙遭受的夜间光照水平比正常情况下要高一百万倍，在几乎每个方面它们的行为都发生混乱，包括夜间育种．人类所受到的光污染并不比青蛙少．像其他大多数的生物一样，我们也需要黑暗，黑暗和光本身一样是我们必不可少的生物福利，是我们内部的发条．

生活在一个我们自己制造的强光里，我们已经远离了进化和文化遗产﹣﹣﹣星星及昼夜节律的光．在一个非常真实的意义上，光污染使我们在宇宙中失去真我，忘记了我们权衡与银河系在一起的深夜的范围﹣﹣﹣银河系的边缘﹣﹣﹣空中的拱的生存规模． 【解答】答案：

50 选B 细节理解题 据第一段第二行with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light眼睛适应了太阳的光线，可知道答案．其中adapted to和 used to 同义，译为习惯于，故选B

51 选A 词义猜测题 Yet it's the only way…filling it with light．但这是唯一的方法去解释我们对于夜晚做了什么：我们设计了光，让光充满星空．根据语境分析可知it指代the night．故选A

52 选B 写作目的题 根据第二段的第一句 The benefits of this kind…consequences这项工程带来好处的同时也带来了坏处．和最后一句Wherever human…life is affected．无论光洒在什么地方，生活都会受到影响．由此可知，光影响了人们的生活及地球上的环境．所以，答案是show how light pollution affects animals，作者举例是为了说明光污染影响动物．故选B

53 选D 推理题 根据最后一段we have cut…of day and night．生活在一个刺眼的世

界，我们已经远离了进化与文化遗产：星星与昼夜节律的光．\"In a very real sense，…forget the scale of our being．\"\"在一个非常真实的意义上，光污染使我们在宇宙中失去真我等语句可知：光污染使我们失去了很多．D．human beings should reflect on their position in the universe．人类应该反思自己的行为．符合语境，故选D

选C 主旨大意题 根据文章最多出现light和night我们可以知道答案是C．之所以不选A，是因为它所使用的形容词Magic意思是奇幻的，这个单词具有褒义的意思．故选C

55．（12分）（2015•浙江）In 2004，when my daughter Becky was ten，she and my husband，Joe，were united in their desire for a dog．As for me，I shared none of their canine lust．

But why，they pleaded．\"Because I don't have time to take care of a dog．\"But we'll do it．\"Really？You're going to walk the dog？Feed the dog？Bathe the dog？\"Yes，yes and yes．\"I don't believe you．\"We will．We promise．

They didn't．From day two （everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day），neither thought to walk the dog．While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots，to schedule her vet appointments，to feed and clean her，Misty knew this on day one．As she looked up at the three new humans in her life （small，medium，and large），she calculated，\"The medium one is the sucker in the pack．\"

Quickly，she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld（心灵融合）．She'd look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers，beam her need，and then wait，trusting I would understand﹣﹣﹣which，strangely，I almost always did．In no time，she became my fifth appendage（附肢），snoring on my stomach as I watched

television．

Even so，part of me continued to resent walking duty．Joe and Becky had promised．Not fair，I'd balk（不心甘情愿地做） silently as she and I walked．\"Not fair，\"I'd loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home．

Then one day﹣﹣﹣January 1，2007，to be exact﹣﹣﹣my husband's doctor uttered an unthinkable word：leukemia （白血病）．With that，I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital，doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort．During those six months of hospitalizations，Becky，12at that time，adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school．My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies．Every part of my life changed； no part of my old routine remained． Save one：Misty still needed walking．At the beginning，when friends offered to take her through her paces，I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with．

As the months went by，I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty．The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet，peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded．The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise．

When serious illness visits your household，it's not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar．Pretty much everyone you know acts differently．

Not Misty．Take her for a walk，and she had no interest in Joe's blood or bone

marrow test results．On the street or in the park，she had only one thing on her mind：squirrels!She was so joyful that even on the worst days，she could make me smile．On a daily basis，she reminded me that life goes on． After Joe died in 2009，Misty slept on his pillow．

I'm grateful﹣﹣﹣to a point．The truth is，after years of balking，I've come to enjoy my walks with Misty．As I watch her chase a squirrel，throwing her whole being into the here﹣and﹣now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory，she reminded me，too，that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future，there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment．

55．Why didn't the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story？ B ．

A．She was afraid the dog would get the family into trouble． B．It would be her business to take care of the dog． C．Her husband and daughter were united as one． D．She didn't want to spoil her daughter．

56．Which of the following is the closestin meaning to\"The medium one is the sucker in the pack．\" D ．

A．\"The middle﹣aged person loves me most．\" B．\"The medium﹣sized woman is the hostess．\"

C．\"The man in the middle is the one who has the final say．\" D．\"The woman is the kind and trustworthy one in the family．\" 57．It can be inferred from Paragraph 3that A ．

A．Misty was quite clever

B．Misty could solve math problems C．the write was a slow learner D．no one walked Misty the first day

58．The story came to its turning point when B ． A．Joe died in 2009 B．Joe fell ill in 2007

C．the writer began to walk the dog D．the dog tried to please the writer

59．Why did the writer continue to walk Misty while Joe was in hospital？ C A．Misty couldn't live without her． B．Her friends didn't offer any help．

C．The walk provided her with spiritual comfort． D．She didn't want Misty to be others'companion．

60．What is the message the writer wants to convey in the passage？ C A．One should learn to enjoy hard times． B．A disaster can change everything in life．

C．Moments of joy suggest that there is still hope ahead．

D．People will change their attitude toward you when you are in difficulty.. 【分析】文章大意：这是一篇记叙文，女儿十岁时，女儿和丈夫想要一只狗，\"我\"不同意，认为没有时间照顾它．尽管父女俩答应照顾狗，但是第二天他们就不乐意去遛狗了，\"我\"慢慢接受了照顾狗这个事情．丈夫患病期间，狗狗陪伴作者来去医院的路上，人很悲伤，但狗还是和平常一样开心，由此，作者悟出生活的哲理﹣﹣尽管有时生活艰难、前途难测，

但人生总有希望和快乐．

【解答】55．B 细节理解题．根据第三段第三句话\"While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots，to schedule her vet appointments，to feed and clean her\"可知，作者慢慢地意识到她要代替父女俩给狗狗打针，安排见宠物医生等．这意味着最终将由她来照顾这一只狗．所以本题选择B．

56．D 猜词题，根据这3个单词的意思不难知道small指的是作者的女儿，medium指的是作者，一个woman； and large指的是作者的丈夫．根据后文他们有了心灵相通不难得出答案小狗认为这个妇女（也就是作者）是最信任的和最好心的．所以选择D．

57．A 推理题，本题使用排除法．根据第三段\"Misty knew this on day one它在第一天就知道\"和\"she calculated它在计算\"可以得出答案这只狗是非常聪明的．另外也可以根据意思排除选项BCD．B．Misty could solve math problems就算文章中出现了一个计算的词语，但也不能够得出能够解答数学题的结论，而且根据常识也可以把它排除．C．the writer was a slow learner这个内容没有提及，D．no one walked Misty the first day这个选项的答案，与原文\"它在第一天就知道了\"是不一致的．

58．B 细节理解题，根据第六段第一句话\"Then one day﹣January 1，2007，to be exact﹣my husband‘s doctor uttered an unthinkable word：leukemia （ 白血病）．然后，2007年1月1日，确切地说是丈夫的医生宣布了丈夫得了白血病\"，说明这一天是一个转折点，所以可以得出答案为B．

59．C 细节理解题，根据第八段中的\"quiet，peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded安静，安静的时间来收集我的想法\"，所有的这一切都是精神上的一些安慰，所以答案选择The walk provided her with spiritual comfort．这个散步给她带来了心灵的安慰．

60．C 推理题，根据文章最后一句话no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable

the future，there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment．不管现在是多么困难或者将来是多么的难以预计，总是有一些提取快乐的方法．此题易错选A，虽然这句话是正确的．但是这篇文章并不是在说在困难时期享受快乐．

61．（10分）（2015•浙江）下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句（第61﹣65题）．请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出适合各段落的首句，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑．选项中有一项是多余选项． A．Come in with something to say． B．Prepare general comments． C．Bring materials with you． D．Don't make them wait． E．Have no fear． F．Go it alone．

One of the best things you can do any time in the semester is go see the professor．So hoof on over to an office hour and have some one﹣on﹣one face time with someone who'll help you master the material and improve your grade，to boot．But how should you have this conversation with the professor？Here are five insider tips about how to make that office hour really count．

61． E No need to get all bent out of shape about going to see the professor．The professor would actually like to see you and answer your questions．Believe it or not，he or she is on your side and is eager to see you do well．And besides，

he or she has seen many students stupider than you，so nothing you're going toask will set the record for stupidity．

62． F Even though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner，the office hour will go better if it's just you and the professor．You'll get in more questions，the discussion will be tailored to whatyou need most help on，and two﹣party communication is almost always more productive than committee work．Your friend can wait outside for the discussion．

63． D If you can't make the official office hours，most professors are willing to make individual appointments to help you out．If you're lucky enough to land such an accommodation，though，be sure you're 100percent on time．There's nothing that ticks off a professor more than making him﹣or herself available for a custom office hour only to find that you don't care enough to come on time．And besides，the professor might leave after ten minutes，which would make your trip a total loss．

． C If you're meeting with the professor to go over a paper or test，or to ask questions about a particular lecture or reading，make sure you bring that paper or test，or your lecture notes or a copy of the article．The professor doesn't remember the comments he or she wrote on your individual piece of work﹣﹣﹣though he or she will be able to recall them after just a brief glance at your work．And if you have your lecture notes or the article in hand，you and the professor will be able to examine specific points that are confusing to you，rather than just talking in a general way about the contents．

65． A Office hours almost always go better if you bring a few specific questions

to the meeting．It's almost never good to start a meeting with general comments such as\"I didn't understand what you said about[main topic of the course]\"or\"I couldn't understand any of your lectures last week．\"Much better is to come in with two or three conversation﹣starters about a specific concept，point，or problem you didn't understand．Keep in mind that in a fifteen﹣minute office hour （which is how long these things usually last），two or three questions are usually the most you'll have time to discuss．

【分析】本文主要就在大学期间怎样去拜访教授给出了一些建议． A：进来时，要有话可说． B：准备好一般的评论． C：带着材料去拜访． D：不要让他们等你． E：不要害怕． F：自己一个人去．

【解答】61 E 意为\"不要害怕\"．属于词汇衔接． 根据\"No need to get all bent out of shape about going to see the professor．\"可知，上一句为E．

62 F 意为\"自己一个人去（拜访）\"．属于逻辑衔接．根据\"Even though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner，the office hour will go better if it's just you and the professor．\"可知，答案F合适．

63 D 意为\"不要让他们等你\"．属于逻辑衔接．根据\"If you can't make the official office hours，most professors are willing to make individual appointments to help you out．\"可知，答案D合适．

C 意为\"带着材料去拜访\"．属于逻辑衔接．根据\"If you're meeting with the professor

to go over a paper or test，or to ask questions about a particular lecture or reading，make sure you bring that paper or test，or your lecture notes or a copy of the article．\"

65 A 意为\"进来时，要有话可说\"． 属于逻辑衔接．根据下文的意思可知，你进办公室的时候要有话可说．即：要有一些问题要问．A句统领下文．故正确．

第三部分：写作（共两节，满分10分）第一节：短文改错（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）

66．（10分）（2015•浙江）下面短文中有10处语言错误．请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词．

增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写上该加的词． 删除：把多余的词用斜线（\\）划掉．

修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写上修改后的词． 注意：1．每处错误及修改均仅限一词；

2．只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分．

My old classroom was interesting because three side of the classroom were made from glass．I enjoyed sit close to the windows and looking at the view．On the left﹣hand side of the class，I could easy see the football field．In the morning，it was full of the students exercising．The view from the back of the classroom is also splendid．Close to the school there was a beautiful park with many trees around them．Farther in the distance，I could not enjoy the view of snowy mountains．On the right side of the class was the road，I was always interested to see the drivers in hurry in the morning．The position of the classroom with

its view made me felt like I was dreaming．If I was only a child when I studied in that classroom，I will never forget it．

【分析】改错题要注意代词，连词以及词性、人称的转化．

做好短文改错题，可以从以下三方面去考虑：1．快速阅读短文，如抓住中心思想，从整体上对短文有个了解． 2．充分运用语言的基础知识，从句型结构、词的变化、词类选择、词的搭配、习惯用法出发，进行分析判断，尽快找出错误在何处． 3．重视整体和语境，从上下文关系中找出表达连接关系或逻辑关系的词或词组，判断是递进关系还是转折关系，是因果关系还是让步关系．

【解答】1．side→sides three为数词，修饰可数名词的复数洗，所以side要用复数形式sides，指教室的三面都是由玻璃制成的．

2．from→of be made of表示看得出原材料的\"制成\"，be made from表示看不出原材料的\"制成\"，教室的墙由玻璃制成，自然是看得出原材料，所以用be made of． 3．sit→sitting 动词enjoy后面只能跟动词的ing形式（动名词）作宾语．

4．easy→easily 用来修饰动词短语see the football field的必须是副词，不能用形容词．

5．is→was 本篇文章中动词的时态都是用的过去时，所以，此处也应该用一般过去时． 6．them→it 这里的it指代前面的a beautiful park． 7．去掉not 这是对学校环境的赞美，从远处我能够欣赏到美景．

8．in hurry→in a hurry in a hurry为一固定短语，用来修饰动词短语see the drivers． 9．felt→feel 使役动词make后面要用省略to的不定式作宾语补足语． 10．If→Although/Though 这两个句子前后是一种转折关系．
