Betty Azar is a world famous expert on teaching English grammar. Here are some of her opinions. Why do students need to learn grammar?
When teachers are deciding which grammar points to teach,they should first ask two questions. First,will understanding the point help students be understood—will it help them understand better?Next, will learning the grammar point help students be acceptable as English speakers? People usually think that grammar is all about memorizing rules. In fact,grammar is not just learning rules. It is a way to help students along the way to communication.
Teachers should know that students do not all learn in the same way. Each may have a different learning style when it comes to learning grammar. Some may see a pattern and understand the rule. Others need explanations and more practice. “But to teach grammar as a subject matter and test it as though you were testing the memorization of dates in history is sure to bore everybody and not reach the goals that you are trying to reach—successful communication experiences.” Why do some teachers hate teaching grammar?
Many teachers are not comfortable teaching grammar because they do not know how to answer their students' questions. “Most native speakers of English didn't learn it in school,\" she says. \"If you don't know any grammar of your own language and then you are asked to teach it,it's possible that your students may know more grammar than you and you can’t answer their questions.\"
Can teaching grammar really be fun?
Teachers should learn to make the teaching of grammar fun. She says,\"My students enjoy learning grammar as much as I enjoy teaching it. I think grammar is fascinating. It is the glue that holds language together. It is really beautiful when you get to know it. Grammar is quite a remarkable(不同寻常的) thing.\"
1．What should teachers do before teaching grammar points? A．Ask themselves questions. B．Develop a good teaching style. C．Find out students’ learning needs. D．Let students memorize some rules. 2．What does Betty Azar do? A．A student. A．boring
B．A reporter. B．beautiful
C．A teacher. C．hard to teach
D．A writer. D．easy to learn
3．Betty Azar thinks grammar is_________ . 4．According to Betty Azar,______ . A．grammar should be taught as a subject B．native speakers don’t need to learn grammar C．different students learn grammar in different ways D．it’s useful to memorize rules when learning grammar

This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13-19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America. Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that were usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family
rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it. ”
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American schools,” he said. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
1．The whole exchange program is mainly to ________. A．help teenagers in other countries know the real America B．send students in America to travel in Germany C．let students learn something about other countries D．have teenagers learn new languages 2．What is particular in American schools?
A．There is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings. B．There are a lot of outside activities. C．Students usually take 14 subjects in all. D．Students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.
3．What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life?
A．A better education should include something good from both America and Germany. B．German schools trained students to be better citizens. C．American schools were not as good as German schools. D．The easy life in the American school was more helpful to students. 4．What’s Mike’s attitude towards American education? A．Praise. C．Ignore.
B．Regret. D．Accuse (指责).
【答案】 1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【分析】

（与此同时，大约1300名美国青少年将前往其他国家学习新的语言，并对世界其他地区有新的了解。）”可知，在这项交换活动中，世界其他国家的孩子将有机会了解美国，同时，美国的孩子也将有机会了解世界其他地区。由此可知，整个交流计划主要是为了让学生了解其他国家。故选C项。 2．
细节理解题。根据最后一段关键句“In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities.（在德国，我们除了学习什么也不做。在这里，我们参加了许多户外活动。）”可知，在美国，学生可以参加许多户外活动，句中的“Here”代指的是“美国的学校”，由此可知，美国学校的特别之处在于有很多户外活动。故选B项。 3．
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句““I suppose I should criticize American schools,” he said. “It is far too easy by our level.（“我想我应该批评美国学校，”他说。“以我们的水平来说，这太容易了。”）”和“I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.（我认为也许你们的学校在培训公民方面更好。这两者之间应该有某种中间立场。）”可知，在Mike看来，美国学校的课程设置应该更难一些，这是美国学校应该向德国学校学习的地方，但美国学校的学生能够参加更多的户外活动，这是德国学校应该向美国学校学习的地方，由此可知，Mike在经历了美国的学校生活后认为，更好的教育应该包括来自美国和德国的好的方面，包括双方的优点。故选A项。 4．
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句““I suppose I should criticize American schools,” he said. “It is far too easy by our level.（“我想我应该批评美国学校，”他说。“以我们的水平来说，这太容易了。”）”可知，Mike对美国学校的教育持批评的态度，他认为美国学校的课程设置应该更难一些，由此可推断出，Mike对美国教育持指责态度。故选D项。

Back in 2001，Pen Hadow and I traveled to the North Pole.One morning we’d just taken down our tent and started skiing. Pen was in front，and I was following him.Suddenly I got a strange feeling that something was behind us. I stopped，looked back and saw a polar bear, walking towards us.
Pen and I planned to stay where we were, try and look big, and frighten it away. Pen had a shotgun that we’d bought in Russia.That was his job. My job was to look big and to take off my skis, hold the skis in the air, make lots of noise，and frighten away the bear. Pen raised the gun and fired into the air. However, it jammed and failed to work.
The bear was walking towards us. Pen tried again, but again it didn’t work.Then he walked towards the bear, and I thought，“Wow，Pen’s gone completely mad. He’s going to get eaten.What should I do?”
I thought maybe I could throw a ski at it or stab(刺) it with a ski pole or something.Suddenly, the bear stopped. Pen stopped. Bang! The gun went off in the air. There was a big cloud of smoke that I thought surprised Pen and me more than it surprised the bear.The animal looked up, looked down, turned around and walked off. Pen turned round and said, “Quick，get the camera and take a photograph,” and that was when suddenly I felt really nervous. I couldn’t even undo the zip on our bag.

On my first day of high school，I asked an eleventh grader where my class was. And he told me it was “on the fourth floor，next to the pool.” I found out five minutes later that we don't even have a fourth floor and there's no pool either! Besides that，I didn't have any trouble with the older kid.
I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school. I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours，so I had to learn how to make full use of time! Our class size is around 550，but joining in clubs，sports，music，and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.
The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself，not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I've prepared for the night before，gotten an A，and not remembered anything later. I've changed that this year，and I enjoy school so much more. Don't take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports，the first will prove to be a lot more useful!
While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools，they're also around in high school. I have a lot of friends who promised they'd never drink or smoke，but are now partying every weekend. If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying，you will regret it when you're applying for (申请) college. The “friends” who say you're a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all. It's hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions，but don't follow their footsteps. Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.
1．What does the author think of high school? A．There are very few activities.
B．It's hard to meet new people there. C．It requires hard work.
D．There isn't enough time for homework.
2．The author advises high school students to________． A．get ready for tests the night before B．give up sports C．choose useful classes D．try their best to get good grades 3．The text is probably written by________． A．a high school student C．a college student
B．a chemistry teacher D．a sports player
4．The last paragraph mainly tells us________． A．about the trouble caused by drinking and smoking B．not to go to any party in high school C．not to lose ourselves in high school D．about the importance of making friends
【答案】 1．C 2．C 3．A 4．A 【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一些对高中生的建议。
1．细节理解题。根据“I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school.”可知高中的功课量很大，所以他要求我们更加努力。故选C。
2．细节理解题。根据文意“Don't take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports, the first will prove to be a lot more useful”可知建议高中生要选择有用的课程,故选C。
3．推理判断题。根据首句“On my first day of high school，I asked an eleventh grader where my class was. And he told me it was “on the fourth floor，next to the pool.””他问别人自己的教室在哪里可以判断作者是一名高中生。故选A。
4．主旨大意题。文章最后一段句首“While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools”和“If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying, you will regret it when you’re applying for (申请) college.”可知，如果你享乐并且浪费夜晚时间而不是学习，当你申请大学的时候，你会后悔的。所以本段主要讲述了吸烟喝酒所带来的麻烦。故选A。 【点睛】
推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案:即对原文某句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer, suggest, imply, conclude. indicate等标志性词语。这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。比如，第3小题推理判断题。根据首句“On my first day of high school，I asked an eleventh grader where my class was. And he told me it was “on the fourth floor，next to the pool.””他问别人自己的教室在哪里可以判断作者是一名高中生。故选A。

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck，but when you are down, they will run away.
How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character，especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠)．
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener. At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me. Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor，he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding，I know I’ve found a friend! 1．Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend? A．Understanding.
B．Honesty.
C．Reliability.
D．A sense of humor.
2．If you have fair-weather friends, ________.
A．they will give you all that they have when you need help B．you will be refused when you get into trouble C．you can be sure that you get real friends D．you will become rich
3．This passage mainly discusses ________. A．the qualities of a friend B．where to choose friends C．how to get along with friends D．the importance of having a friend
4．How many qualities does the writer mention in the passage? A．Three.
B．Four.
C．Five.
D．Six.

I traveled to London, England in the spring of 2016. Actually, I traveled with CAPA International Education on a study program. At that time, I did a full three-month program but I traveled on weekends and during breaks.
I used to live in a small town outside New York. The idea of big cities has always excited me and I wanted to take advantage of that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It was a great opportunity for me to see how independent I could be in another country, because I hope to travel a lot more in the future.
I lived in a flat in Ealing Broadway with several other students from different American schools. The biggest surprise I found there was the culture shock I experienced. I had expected traveling to London to be an easy transition (转变) for me because I thought their culture was close to that of America. But you know the language and the people were greatly different from what I had expected. They had different accents. In fact, they were noisy and more free-thinking than most Americans I knew.
However, I tried to take part in their giant Chinese New Year celebration in Trafalgar Square.

The biggest soccer organization in the U.S. introduces new rules to make the sport safer. The U.S. Soccer Federation announced that players in its teams who are 10 or younger are no longer allowed to head the ball. Players aged from 11 to 13 have limits on how often they can practice heading.
The new rules are set to stop kids from getting hurt because of a blow to the head that shakes the brain. Players may get headaches by heading the ball. Even worse, they may also get concussions, which will cause lasting brain damage.
Heading the ball can be one of the most dangerous parts of soccer. Sometimes the force of hitting the ball with their heads gives players concussions. But more often, players receive concussions when they jump to head the ball and by accident knock heads with other players or fall and hit their heads on the grass.
“More concussions happen during the act of heading than any other action in soccer,” says Dr. Robert Cantu, an expert on brain damage.
So far, the new rules are only used by teams that are part of the U.S. Soccer Federation. But the group says it hopes more soccer teams will soon follow its example.
Former U.S. soccer star Brandi Chastain is one of the leaders of the activity to ban heading among young soccer players. She welcomes the rule change but wants the rule to include all players under 14.
1．The new rules are made to________． A．keep young players from being hurt B．teach young players how to practice heading C．make the U.S. Soccer Federation more famous D．encourage young players to improve their skills 2．What is Brandi Chastain’s attitude towards the new rules?
A．She is against them. C．She is unsure about them.
3．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．New rules in soccer.
C．Brain damage becomes more common. Federation.
B．She supports them. D．She doesn’t care about them. B．How to protect young players. D．The introduction of the U.S. Soccer
【答案】 1．A 2．B 3．A 【分析】

Language as a System of Symbols(符号)
Of all systems of symbols, language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language.
There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.
However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature; foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country
understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said, “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals, ” they feel that the symbol is inherently connected in some way with the things symbolized.
1．Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _______. A．have made use of language for centuries B．use our nervous systems to support language C．have made various noises stand for any events D．can make anything stand for anything by agreement 2．What can we conclude from Paragraph 2? A．Different noises may mean different things. B．Our culture determines what a symbol stands for. C．The language we use symbolizes our social positions. D．Our social positions determine the way we are dressed.
3．In Paragraph 3 the underlined phrase “take special pains” probably means “_______”. A．try very hard C．are very unhappy
A．adults often learn from their young B．“pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirty
C．words are not connected with the things they stand for D．people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language works
B．take our time D．feel especially painful
4．In Paragraph 3, the example of the little boy is used to show that _______.
【答案】 1．D 2．B 3．A 4．D 【分析】
这是一篇说明文。主要说明了语言作为高度发展了的符号体系，它与文化有着密切的联系。在所有的符号系统中，语言是最发达的，但这个符号和它所代表的事物之间没有必然的联系。文章就此展开说明。 1．
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything.(有人指出，人类通过约定俗成可以使任何事物代表任何事物)”由此可知，语言是一种高度发达的符号系统，因为人类可以通过约定俗成使任何事物代表任何事物。故选D。 2．
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live
in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in. (就像社会地位可以用头上戴的羽毛、手表链上的金子，或者根据我们所处的文化，用千百种其他东西来象征一样，饥饿的事实也可以根据我们所处的文化，用千百种不同的声音来象征)”可推知，我们的文化决定了一个符号代表什么。故选B。 3．
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem”可知无论这些事实第一眼看上去多么明显，它们实际上并不像它们看起来那样明显，除非我们花了特别的努力尝试去思考这个主题。可猜测出画线短语的意思是“努力尝试”。故A项正确。 4．
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature; foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said, “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals, ” they feel that the symbol is inherently connected in some way with the things symbolized.(比如说，有人觉得外语的本质是不合理的，外国人给事物起的名字很滑稽，为什么他们不能用正确的名字来称呼事物呢？ 这种感觉在那些英美游客身上表现得最为强烈，他们似乎相信，只要他们喊得足够大声，就能让任何国家的本地人听懂英语。就像那个小男孩说的那样，\"猪之所以叫猪，是因为它们是如此肮脏的动物\"，他们觉得这个符号与所象征的事物有某种内在的联系)”可推知，作者列举小男孩的例子是为了说明人们有时对语言是如何发挥作用有错误的认识。故选D。

If Confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States，at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is. 1．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________. A．provide some key facts about Confucius B．attract the readers' interest in the subject C．show great respect for the ancient thinker
D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
2．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________. A．have a great interest in studying Chinese B．take an active part in Chinese competitions C．try to get high scores in Chinese exams D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese 3．What is the best title for the passage? A．Forgotten Wisdom in America B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language C．Chinese Culture for Westerners D．Old Thinker with a Big Future
4．The passage is likely to appear in ________. A．a biography C．a newspaper
B．a history paper D．a philosophy textbook
【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【分析】
文章是新闻报道，主要讲述了外国人对中国文化的兴趣越来越浓，对于孔子的思想也越来越感兴趣这一社会现象。 1．
推理判断题，由第一段“If Confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake,”说如果孔子还活着话，将会用大蛋糕庆祝他的生日，可以推出是吸引读者的兴趣，故选B项。 2．
推理判断题，由第四段“Students in the United States，at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.” 与此同时，美国的学生也在竞相学习中文。可以推出美国学生对学习汉语有很大的兴趣，故选A项。
3．
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由倒数后三段“So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.”可知，因此，这位老思想家的思想仍然很活跃。今天的中国比以往任何时候都更吸引西方，它需要更多的教师来向西方介绍孔子和中国文化。至于这位老思想家，即使是他的生日，他也不会被西方人遗忘。由此可知，短文的最佳标题为“西方人也热衷学习孔子思想”。故选D项。 4．
推理判断题。本文主要讲述了外国人对中国文化的兴趣越来越浓，对于孔子的思想也越来越感兴趣。由此判断出短文很有可能是新闻报道的内容。故选C项。

On Monday, I stopped my car in front of my daughter Juliet’s middle school. She jumped in the front seat, feeling down. She asked me to help her study for her science test.
“Dad, I need to memorise a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.”
“You know memorising seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.”
Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.”
Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don’t do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorise the material. On Tuesday afternoon, Juliet sat down with her science book facing me and said, “Okay Dad, let’s study.” I wanted her to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldn’t be too hard on her. So instead we started with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not others. When she didn’t know the answers, I encouraged her to check the book.
She started checking things that didn’t make sense. And she was actively seeking to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasn’t memorising; she was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped she would do. 1．Why did Juliet feel down? A．Because she failed her science test. B．Because she had trouble memorising a unit. C．Because she knew nothing about planting. D．Because she couldn’t follow her teacher.
2．In the writer’s opinion, which was the key to best learning? A．Memorising. C．Questioning.
B．Testing. D．Understanding.
3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．Making her check the book. B．Using simple questions to test her. C．Encouraging her to read the unit. D．Asking her to teach me the unit.
4．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．A Creative Father B．An Unexpected Test C．Learning from Teaching D．Preparing for Teaching
【答案】 1．B 2．D 3．D 4．C 【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了爸爸通过让女儿教他来学习这种方式帮助女儿深入理解所学的知识。 1．
细节理解题。根据第二段““Dad, I need to memorise a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.””（ 爸爸，我需要记住一个关于植物繁殖周期的单元。但我很难做到）可知，朱丽叶感到沮丧是因为她记一个单元的知识点有困难，因此答案选B。 2．
细节理解题。根据第三段“You know memorising seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.”（ 你知道，记忆似乎是最好的学习方式，但事实上，如果你努力理解材料，你会在考试中表现得更好）可知，作者认为理解才是最佳学习的关键， 因此答案选D。 3．
词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea”可知，让她教我是一个不同寻常的主意，此处承接上文，说的是我决心这样做，因此it 指代的就是前面提到的“Asking her to teach me”，即让她教我这个单元的知识，因此答案选D。 4．
主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第五段“Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it.”（让她教我是一个不同寻常的主意，但我决心这样做）可知，本文主要讲的是爸爸通过让女儿教他来学习这种方式帮助女儿深入理解所学的知识，因而文章主旨是“从教中学习”，因此答案选C。

Along the hallway (走廊), I saw mixed expressions on the faces of my students: excited, nervous, and worried.No doubt about it: they were this term’s freshmen. My own first day at high school flashed into my mind.
Since our family had just moved to the place, I didn’t know anyone at the school. On arriving, I picked up a map and my schedule (日程表). Oh, my goodness, what a large school it was! Nervously, I looked about for where my first class was to be held.
When I finally found my class, everyone was talking and laughing together, and I felt so lonely. Throughout the day, each period brought some new faces I had not seen before. But when my English class came around, I had a surprise: an old classmate! It was Ben, who had left my middle school right after sixth grade. We talked and joked about middle school and the clubs we were in together. My nerves eased (放松) a little.
Next was the P E. class. This was the first class that I found without difficulty. Sitting through the boring introduction to the class by the teacher, I started talking to a girl sitting near me. I found out that her family had just moved here too, and she didn’t know anyone either. As we talked, we discovered that we had a lot in common, and had a lot of classes together.

The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they leant to. A few people are paid for sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional football player in England earns more than 300,000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500,000 dollars a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much as that.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply mean, “Buy our things”. It says, “Buy the same shirt and shoes as…” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.
1．From the passage we can learn that .
A．famous people spend too much money and time on sports B．the development of sports is slower than any other activity C．most people enjoy sports because they can earn a lot of money D．now sports is not only an amusement for people
2．In this passage “professional sportsmen” means people “_____________”. A．who teach others how to make money in sports B．who take sports as their jobs C．who are very fond of sports

To develop one's taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books extensively. Yet one may be at a loss to choose the appropriate books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.
My first English novel was Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It's not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen constructs sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too remote to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and straightforward (简洁的) style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you'd better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones. However, if you restrict yourself to novels you will miss a lot of treasures. English essays can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the elegance and the peculiar sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion — essays are indispensable.
Never follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous or influential (有很大影响的) the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison. With that in mind, we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.
1．What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand? A．Complicated conversations.
B．Sentences and Austen's thinking pattern. C．The old-fashioned vocabulary. D．Not knowing the social background.
2．Which can best replace the underlined word \"indispensable\"? A．Necessary
B．Challenging
C．Relevant
D．Inspirational
3．What advice does the author give in the last paragraph? A．Choose books that challenge us most. B．Read books that are instructive. C．Don't be affected by others' choices. D．Compare books before buying.
4．What is the author's purpose of writing the passage? A．Give comments on literature works. B．Tell beginners how to choose English books. C．Encourage people to read more English books. D．Recommend first class books to English learners.
【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．C
4．B 【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何选择适合自己的英文读物，作者给出了自己的建议。 1．
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It's not the vocabulary that troubled me，but…which seemed too remote to me at that time. ”(困扰我的不是她的词汇，而是奥斯汀的造句方式，以及她的思维方式，在当时我觉得这些都太遥远了。)可知，作者的第一本英文读物《傲慢与偏见》的句子结构和作者简·奥斯汀的思维方式使作者很难读懂这本书。故选B。 2．
词义猜测题。根据第三段“English essays can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. …His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. ”（英语短文可以立即给你信息，娱乐你，提高你的英语品位。最好的例子就是伯特兰·罗素的作品。它的语言平淡无奇，但你却不禁感受到它的优雅和独特的幽默感。他简单的语言使他的哲学通俗易懂。）可知，画线词前面的部分主要讲的是阅读英语文章的好处，由此可知此处指的应是文章也是必不可少的。故画线词的意思应是“必不可少的，必需的”，与A项necessary的意思相近。故选A。 3．
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Never follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous or influential (有很大影响的) the person might be. …As a saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison.”（不要盲目地听从别人的建议和意见，不管这个人有多有名，有多有影响力。我们应该接受各种意见，但总是要自己思考和决定。俗话说，一个人的佳肴可能是另一个人的毒药。）可知，作者在最后一段建议我们要自己做决定，不要盲目听从别人的建议，因为萝卜青菜各有所爱，即不要受别人选择的影响。故选C。 4．
推理判断题。根据第一段“To develop one's taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books extensively. ”（要培养一个人的英语品味，最有效的方法是广泛阅读英语书籍。）以及As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.”（作为一个土生土长的西班牙人，我想分享一些我的经验。）本文作者主要就如何选择适合自己的英文读物来读，给出了自己的建议。故选B。 【点睛】
推理判断题的推断对象主要包括隐含意思、目标读者、观点态度、文章出处、写作意图等。以推断隐含意义的题目居多。推断隐含意义，即要求根据文章的某个句子、段落或全文所提供的事实进行逻辑推理，推断出作者没有提到、没有明说或者可能发生的事实。题干中常含infer（推断），suggest（暗示），imply（暗示），indicate（暗示），conclude（推断，得出结论）等词语。解此类题，首先找到相关信息，然后细读、理解相关信息的字面意义，最后结合语境和常识，在字面意义的基础上进行符合逻辑的推断，从而理解作者的言外之意。根据第一段“To develop one's taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books extensively. …As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.” 要培养一个人的英语品味，最有效的方法是广泛阅读英语书籍。然而，一个人在选择合适的
书时可能会不知所措，尤其是对于初学者来说。作为一个土生土长的西班牙人，我想分享一些我的经验。本文作者主要就如何选择适合自己的英文读物来读，给出了自己的建议。故选B。

If you’ve ever had trouble getting your teen up in the morning or you’ve seen your teen fall asleep during the school day, you’re not alone. Many teens have difficulty in waking up early for school, and that’s because they sleep late at night.
The American Academy of Pediatrics’ Adolescent Sleep Working Group reviewed studies about sleep in teens. Researchers studied the harmful effects of not getting enough sleep-anything less than 8.5 to 9 hours of sleep on school nights-could have on young people. They discovered not getting enough sleep may cause poor grades at school. Not getting enough sleep has also been connected to a higher risk of car accidents in teens.
It may seem as though the way to solve the problem would be for teens to just go to sleep earlier. But researchers say that isn’t likely to work. Teens experience physical changes that make falling asleep earlier difficult. Their biological (生物的) clocks just won't allow them to fall asleep at 8 p.m., even when they’re tired.
Studies have shown that just delaying (推迟) school by 30 minutes can have a great effect on a teen's health and performance. So most researchers suggest the school start time be delayed until at least 8:30 a.m. for teenagers. Some of the benefits could include:
·Teens may be more likely to get the necessary amount of sleep. ·The delayed start time could help teens sleep during their natural sleep. ·Teens may be less likely to depend on coffee to stay awake during the day.
·Enough sleep could help teens study better in class, which could help them do better in exams. ·Sleeping longer could reduce health problems caused by a lack of sleep in the long run. ·Getting home later in the afternoon may reduce the amount of time when some teens are home alone, and could reduce the possibility that tens will take part in unhealthy activities. But doing that can also cause some problems. 1．What does Paragraph 1 show? A．Many teens find school too boring. B．Many teens fail to get enough sleep. C．Today’s teens have many difficulties. D．Today’s teens are too lazy to get up early.
2．What do researchers of the Adolescent Sleep Working Group find? A．Today’s teens have poor grades at school. B．Teens should get at least 8.5 hours of sleep daily. C．Today’s teens are in danger because of car accidents. D．Teens can be negatively influenced by not getting enough sleep.
3．Why can’t teens fall asleep earlier? A．Because their homework is too much, B．Because they love staying up late at night. C．Because their physical changes make it hard. D．Because they have unbalanced biological clocks. 4．What would the text most probably talk about next? A．The disadvantages of starting school later. B．The benefits of getting enough sleep for students. C．The methods of helping students get enough sleep. D．The advantages of putting off the school start time.
【答案】 1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了许多青少年睡眠不足，美国儿科学会的青少年睡眠工作小组研究了睡眠不足对青少年的有害影响，就此大多数研究人员建议学校上课时间应该至少推迟到早上8:30，这似乎有不少好处，但也有缺点。 1．
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Many teens have difficulty in waking up early for school, and that’s because they sleep late at night.（许多青少年很难早起去上学，这是因为他们晚上睡得很晚。）”可知，第一段说明了许多青少年睡眠不足。故选B项。 2．
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“They discovered not getting enough sleep may cause poor grades at school. Not getting enough sleep has also been connected to a higher risk of car accidents in teens.（他们发现，睡眠不足可能会导致学习成绩不佳。睡眠不足也会增加青少年发生车祸的风险。）”可知，青少年睡眠工作组的研究人员发现了青少年可能会受到睡眠不足的负面影响。故选D项。 3．
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Teens experience physical changes that make falling asleep earlier difficult. Their biological (生物的) clocks just won't allow them to fall asleep at 8 p.m., even when they’re tired.（青少年的生理变化会使他们难以早睡。他们的生物钟就是不允许他们在晚上8点入睡，即使在他们很累的时候。）”可知，因为青少年的生理变化使他们很难早睡。故选C项。 4．
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“But doing that can also cause some problems.（但是这样做也会导致一些问题。）”以及第四段中“So most researchers suggest the school start time be
delayed until at least 8:30 a.m. for teenagers.（因此，大多数研究人员建议，对青少年来说，学校上课时间应该推迟到至少早上8:30。）”可知，文章接下来最可能讨论晚点上学的缺点。故选A项。

Football is my favorite sport. I loved to watch it, but I had never played in a football game before I went to college. I lacked self－confidence and I doubted if I could do well in a team, which was why I hardly did sports together with others. I just loved practicing playing football in the backyard of my house.
About one month after I went to college, one day some of my classmates said they'd play a football game with some players of another class. I really looked forward to it but never thought I'd join them to play. That day finally came and I went to watch with my classmates. However, just about ten minutes after the game started, one member of our football team got injured and could no longer play. The other members looked worried. Then one of them came to me and asked, “Can you play?” At first, I shook my head, but then I nodded. “Great! Come and play,” he said. I followed him, having no idea at all what to do. To my joy, he asked me to play in defense (防守). Defense was my favorite because I found it more fun and less complicated (复杂的). Then the game began again. There weren't a lot of big kids on the offensive line (攻击线) of the other team and I suddenly gained some self－confidence. About five minutes later, the ball was kicked toward the guard. I thought it was a good opportunity for me. I quickly ran past the guard and got the ball. When the guard came to the offensive line, I kicked the ball. I scored and all my classmates cheered. You may not believe it, but I scored twice that time. The final score was 6—2 and we won. My teammates thought that I did very well and none of them believed I hadn't played in a game before.
That game really changed me. I am a really confident person now and often play football games with my teammates.
1．Why didn't the author play sports with others before? A．He wasn't interested in sports. B．He wasn't popular with others. C．He couldn't afford time for sports. D．He wasn't confident about his ability.
2．Seeing the author shaking his head at first, his classmates most probably felt ________. A．excited C．anxious
A．got nervous about watching football games B．decided to become a full－time football player C．was considered the best football player at school D．fell in love with joining others in playing football 4．What would be the best title for the text?
B．boring D．angry

A．My first football game.
B．My most unforgettable experience. C．My way of finding self－confidence. D．My way of scoring at football games.
【答案】 1．D 2．C 3．D 4．A 【分析】

Sure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life. In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable about asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues.
Here is a question: what if you don’t get along well with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn.But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (个性冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.
However, if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her, especially if you fulfill your basic responsibilities as a student. Here are some of those responsibilities:
Attend class ready to learn.
Be prepared for class with the right pencils, books, and completed assignments. Listen when your teacher is talking.
Do your best, whether it’s a classroom assignment, homework, or a test.
1．According to the passage, getting along well with your teachers will make you____. A．get the best scores in the exams B．have more pleasant time in the classroom C．have no problems with study D．get a better seat in the classroom
2．The underlined word “that” in the fourth paragraph refers to____. A．getting along very well with classmates B．the disappearance of personality differences C．a better relationship between you and your teacher D．the happy time you have in the classroom 3．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The importance of friendships in schools.
B．The importance of a good relationship with your teachers. C．Studying skills for students.
D．Useful skills to get along well with your teachers.
【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．B 【分析】

词义猜测题。根据“If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen.”可知，如果你向老师表明你想让你们之间的状况更好，她或他就会尽全力让这件事发生。故推测that指代的是“to make
the situation better”，即想要你们之间的状况更好。C. a better relationship between you and your teacher.(和老师之间有更好的关系)符合以上说法。故选C。 3．
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段的“Sure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.(当然，和老师相处融洽是件好事，因为这会使你在教室里的时间更愉快)”以及2-4段的内容可知，本文主要讲述了和老师关系和谐的重要性。故选B。

Recently, a woman who lives in a small apartment in San Francisco asked me a question. She wanted to know how to prepare for a big earthquake. In fact, it’s quite necessary for people in San Francisco to do that. Since she lives in an apartment, she cannot store water in a backyard or place a rain collection system. Here is my answer to her.
Firstly, you should store water and food. Storing water is actually very easy. A gallon per day is enough for you to drink. You can buy one of those 5-gallon spring water containers and put it in the kitchen. Check the expiration date (截止日期), and get some new water when needed. Food isn’t that hard, either. Get a few cans of soup, some canned fruit, and canned chickpeas or beans. Make sure they all can be eaten without heating. This will cost less than DS|20 and take up very little space in your kitchen. Throw a cheap canopener in there while you’re at it, tape (用胶带粘贴) it to the can, and forget about that one, too.
Secondly, first aid is going to let you stay out of limited medical facilities (装备), allowing you to avoid getting truly injured. In a big disaster, you’ll probably get hurt. Being able to clean and protect a skin wound is important. The Red Cross first-aid kit is cheap (DS|16) and small, and contains what you need.
Finally, information is almost as important as the other two. You really want a small radio to know what is going on around you. There are going to be shelters, first-aid facilities, and safe and unsafe areas. You need a radio to know where they are. The National Guard will be somewhere helping out, and you need to learn where. The network will probably be down, so you can’t count on that.
Therefore, you just need DS|60 and about 30 minutes of shopping, and then you can survive for 3 days without any help.
1．What was the woman’s problem? A．She was afraid of big earthquakes.
B．She didn’t have a backyard to store her things. C．She didn’t know how to prepare for a big earthquake. D．She didn’t know how to set up a rain collection system.
2．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means the woman should________. A．buy another can-opener B．just leave the can-opener there
C．forget everything she has done D．tape the can-opener to the can
3．What does the author think of preparing a first-aid kit? A．It’s not an easy thing to do. B．It can’t be used to save a life C．It’s important in an earthquake. D．It’s too limited for people in a disaster.
【答案】 1．C 2．B 3．C 【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章通过回答一位女士的问题，介绍了为预防大地震做准备工作。 1．
细节理解题。根据第一段中“She wanted to know how to prepare for a big earthquake.(她想知道如何为大地震做准备)”可知，她不知道如何为大地震做准备。故选C项。 2．
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Get a few cans of soup, some canned fruit, and canned chickpeas or beans. Make sure they all can be eaten without heating.(准备几罐汤，一些水果罐头，鹰嘴豆罐头或豆类罐头。确保它们不需要加热就能吃完)”可知，作者在讲，为地震后被困准备吃的东西，再根据划线词句“Throw a cheap canopener in there while you’re at it, tape (用胶带粘贴) it to the can, and forget about that one, too.(扔个便宜的开罐器在里面，把它粘在罐子上，forget about that one)”可以推测，作者的意思是，就把那个开罐器和罐子一起存放在那里，以备地震被困时用。故选B项。 3．
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In a big disaster, you’ll probably get hurt. Being able to clean and protect a skin wound is important. The Red Cross first-aid kit is cheap (DS|16) and small, and contains what you need.(在一场大灾难中，你可能会受伤。清洁和保护皮肤伤口是很重要的。红十字会的急救箱很便宜，而且很小，里面装有你需要的东西)”可知，作者之所以建议准备一个急救包，是因为在大地震中，这很重要。故选C项。

A little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in his sandbox(沙池).He had with him a box of cars and trucks，and a red plastic shovel. In the process of creating roads and tunnels in the sand，he discovered a large rock in the middle of the sandbox.
The boy dug around the rock，trying to get it out of the sand. With many struggles，he pushed the rock across the sandbox by using his feet. He was a very small boy and the rock was very huge. When the boy got the rock to the edge of the sandbox，however，he found that he couldn’t roll
it up and over the little wall.
Determined，the little boy shoved and pushed，but every time the rock tipped(倾斜) and then fell back into the sandbox. Finally，he burst into tears of frustration. All this time the boy’s father watched from his living room window. At the moment his tears fell，a large shadow fell across the boy and the sandbox. It was the boy’s father.
Gently but firmly he said，“Son，why didn’t you use all the strength that you had available？” Defeated，the boy answered，“But I did，Daddy. I used all the strength that I had！”“No，son，” said the father kindly.“You didn’t use all the strength you had. You didn’t ask me.” With that the father reached down，picked up the rock，and removed it from the sandbox. Do you have “rocks” in your life that need to be removed？Are you discovering that you don’t have what it takes to lift them？There is one who is always available and willing to give us the strength we need. Isn’t it funny that we try so hard to do things all by ourselves? 1．What did the boy want to do with the rock? A．To break it into smaller pieces. B．To remove it from the sandbox. C．To bury it deep under the ground. D．To carry it to a faraway place by hand. 2．In the father’s opinion，his son _______. A．must be punished for not working hard B．was strong enough to lift the rock by himself C．should have asked him to help with the rock D．was responsible for solving the problem 3．What may be the best title for the text? A．Secrets in the Sand B．Rock in the Sandbox C．Where Strength Is Needed D．When Help Is Not at Hand
【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．B 【分析】

I promised Michael I wouldn’t mention this until the season was over. Now l think it's time. Early last season, I wrote a column about an art of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the stadium. After it ran，I got a call from a marl in the western suburbs. He said，“I read what you wrote about Jordan. but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw. ” Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.
A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty neighborhood? \"Not two boys,\" Jordan said. \"But four.\"
And he named them. He said four names. And what did they talk about?
\"Everything,” Jordan said. \" Anything. I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check to see if they're paying attention to their study. If it turns out that one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it.\"
It's just one more part of Michael Jordan's life one more thing that no one knows about, and one more thing Jordan does fight for. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do J! When the expert reviewers begin to turn against Jordan as they surely will, I'll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.
1．The writer wrote this story about Jordan and his young friends because ______ A．he thought highly of Jordan's deeds B．he hated to see Jordan do something bad C．he believed it was time to help the disabled D．he felt sure he needn't keep the promise then 2．A man in the western suburbs made a call to ______ A．know why Jordan stopped in a bad area B．get a chance to become famous himself C．let the writer know Jordan was not that nice
D．offer an example to show how Jordan helped others 3．Jordan talked with the boys because he ______. A．needed their support B．had promised to do so

Hipster Greenport: 4 places to eat, shop and visit
Greenport may date back to the 1630s, but it’s feeling pretty of-the-moment right now. Here are four places that embody the old-meets-new energy of the village: Claudio’s
If you’ve been to Greenport, you can’t miss Claudio’s — it’s where generations of Long Islanders have made a tradition of eating, whether inside the main restaurant or at the floating dock-bar. The new owners have added fresh elements: Baccano Pizza by Nino, which offers a variety of slices and pies until as late as 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays — is right by the dock entrance. Little Creek Oyster Farm & Market
It’s little spots like this that tell the current Greenport story. There’s no sign or advertising for this tiny house changed from the cabin of an old ship that’s practically hidden down Bootlegger’s Alley near Mitchell Park. But there they are — streams of people who come to enjoy the fresh oysters while drinking local craft beer, with a waterside view. The Times Vintage
Nostalgia (怀旧) for bygone times runs high in this 1909 building, which once served as the base for the Suffolk Times newspaper. These days, this well-designed shop sells vinyl records (黑胶唱片) and loads of old-fashioned clothing and home decoration items including mid-century highball sets. Greenport Fire
Heat comes in many forms and several are sold here — hot sauces, cigars and candles. Consult the chalkboard for the current sauce offerings or browse cigars such as a hand-rolled Honduran Leaf by Oscar or the Gurkha Cellar Reserve made with 18-year-aged tobacco. 1．What’s special about Greenport? A．It is a place full of energy. B．It is a famous port in the world. C．It is a combination of new and old. D．It is a popular place of interest. 2．What can you do in The Times Vintage? A．You can enjoy delicious oysters. B．You can buy some old things. C．You can find hand-rolled cigars. D．You can have Baccano Pizza.
3．If you are a smoker, you may be interested in _________. A．Claudio’s B．Little Creek Oyster C．Greenport Fire D．The Times Vintage
【答案】 1．C 2．B 3．C 【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了绿港（Greenport）这个村庄里能体现新旧融合的四个地方。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中…but it’s feeling pretty of-the-moment right now. Here are four places that embody the old-meets-new energy of the village…但现在感觉很时髦。这里有四个地方体现了这个村庄新旧活力的融合。可知，绿港融合了新旧事物。故选C选。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中These days, this well-designed shop sells vinyl records (黑胶唱片) and loads of old-fashioned clothing and home decoration items including mid-century highball sets. 如今，这家精心设计的商店出售黑胶唱片、大量的老式服装和家居装饰用品，包括20世纪中期的highball电视机。可知，在The Times Vintage能买到一些老式的东西。故选B项。

Learning Chinese could be one of the most important decisions you ever make. Chinese is becoming the language to learn in the 2lst century. With the world’s largest population and a rapidly growing middle class, China stands to become the engine of the world’s economy in the coming years. This will make learning Chinese very important for people in many industries, or for those of us who wish to visit China or learn from its culture and history.
There is an ongoing effort to modernize the writing system and standardize the language. An increasing number of people learning Chinese are learning the Mandarin, so unless you
absolutely need to learn another dialect (such as Cantonese), be sure you are studying Mandarin. For native English speakers Chinese is one of the most difficult and most different languages to learn. The vocabulary is wholly unfamiliar and unlike anything we know. In addition, in the Chinese tone system, words are spoken in rising or falling tones, which help to distinguish between them. Furthermore, there is the Chinese writing system-a collection of thousands of individual ideograms (表意文字), or symbols, which represent a word or an idea. These ideograms have no phonetic value-that is to say, we can’t tell how the word is pronounced by how it is written. There is a method to present written Chinese in a phonetic script called Pinyin.
If you are learning Chinese, you’ll be working with this Pinyin system, but the beauty of the traditional writing system shouldn’t be passed up. All these factors make learning Chinese difficult for us. Yet, for a determined learner, there’s always a way to overcome it. 1．Learning Chinese is becoming more and more important, because . A．Chinese engines are very welcome B．China has the world’s largest population C．there are more and more rich people in China D．China has become important to the world economy 2．The last paragraph mainly tells us about . A．the difficulties of learning Chinese B．the advantages of learning Chinese C．the Chinese tone system D．the Chinese writing system
3．What would be probably written following this text? A．The sources of Chinese characters. B．The importance of learning Chinese. C．The advice on how to learn Chinese. D．The difficulties of learning other languages.
【答案】 1．D 2．A 3．C 【分析】

2．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中For native English speakers Chinese is one of the most difficult and most different languages to learn. The vocabulary is wholly unfamiliar and unlike anything we know.（对于以英语为母语的人来说，汉语是最难学的语言之一。词汇是完全陌生的，不像我们知道的任何东西。）可推知，本文最后一段主要介绍了学习汉语的难点。故选A。
3．推理判断题。本题推测下面的段落可能涉及的内容，前面介绍了学习汉语的困难，根据全文最后一句Yet，for a determined learner, there’s always a way to overcome it.“尽管如此，对于一个有决心的学习者来说，总是有办法克服它的”，可知接下来会介绍如何学习中文的

预测想象推理判断题。常见的与预测相关的问题主要有：
What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph？ What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write？ What would……do in the end？
做这类题时，应通读全文，把握作者的写作思路，如文章可能按时间发展的顺序描写，也可能按因果关系、对比关系等等来叙述。作者往往在前文提出几个要解决或说明的问题，或提出几个观点，然后在下文一一解释说明。因此，我们可通过下文，找出作者已经阐明的问题或观点。
如第三小题，本题推测下面的段落可能涉及的内容，前面介绍了学习汉语的困难，根据全文最后一句Yet，for a determined learner, there’s always a way to overcome it.“尽管如此，对于一个有决心的学习者来说，总是有办法克服它的”，可知接下来会介绍如何学习中文的建议。故选C。

WASHINGTON-Thousands of public schools have stopped teaching foreign languages in the last decade, according to a survey. But another contrary trend makes educators and policymakers abuzz: a rush by schools in all parts of America to give lessons in Chinese.
Some schools are paying for Chinese classes on their own, but hundreds are getting some help. The Chinese government is sending teachers from China to schools all over the world and paying part of their salaries.
No one keeps an exact count, but rough calculations based on the government’s survey suggest that perhaps 1,600American public and private schools are teaching Chinese, up from 300 or so a decade ago. And the number is growing fast.
“It’s really changing the language education landscape of this country,” said Nancy. Other indicators point to the same trend. “The number of students taking the Advanced Placement test in Chinese, introduced in 2007, has grown so fast that it is likely to pass German this year as the third most tested Advanced Placement language, after Spanish and French,” said Trevor Packer, vice president of the College Board.
“We’ve all been surprised that in such a short time Chinese would grow to surpass German,” Mr. Packer said.
A decade ago, most of the schools with Chinese programs were on the east and west coasts. But in recent years, many schools have started Chinese programs in heartland states, including Ohio and Illinois in the Midwest, Texas and Georgia in the South, and Colorado and Utah in the Rocky Mountain West.
America has had the study of a foreign language grow before, only to see the bubble burst. Many schools began teaching Japanese in the 1980s, after Japan emerged as an economic rival. But thousands of schools have dropped the language, the survey found. Japanese is not the only language that has declined. Thousands of schools that offered French, German or Russian have stopped teaching those languages, too, the survey found.
1．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “abuzz” in the first paragraph? A．Be noisy like the sound of a bee. B．Be interested in various activities. C．Cause people to discuss something hotly. D．Motivate people to march bravely.
2．What can we infer from what Mr. Packer said?
A．More and more people choose Chinese in the Advanced Placement test. B．The Advanced Placement test is the most difficult one in the world. C．Chinese is more important than Spanish and French. D．Chinese is a necessary subject in most important tests. 3．What can we know from the last two paragraphs?
A．Many schools started Chinese programs in the Midwest ten years ago. B．Chinese programs have been started in more areas in America recently. C．American schools have slopped teaching French, German and Russian. D．People are gradually fond of learning Chinese and Japanese in recent years. 4．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Chinese is being learned as an official language in America. B．Foreign languages fade in American schools except Chinese. C．Teaching Chinese in foreign countries has become a trend. D．Foreign languages are no longer being taught in America.
【答案】 1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 【分析】
这是一篇新闻报道。本文讲述了在美国很多门外语都遭遇了停课，但是中文的学习趋势却日益上升。
1．词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句But another contrary trend makes educators and policymakers abuzz: a rush by schools in all parts of America to give lessons in Chinese.可知，另一个相反的趋势却让教育工作者和政策制定者议论纷纷：美国各地的学校都在争先恐后地用中文授课,故推测画线词abuzz意为“议论纷纷”。 C. Cause people to discuss something hotly.（使人们纷纷议论某事）符合以上猜测，故选C项。
2．推理判断题。根据第四段的The number of students taking the Advanced Placement test in Chinese, introduced in 2007, has grown so fast that it is likely to pass German this year as the third most tested Advanced Placement language, after Spanish and French,” said Trevor Packer,许多学生开始参加中文的进阶课程考试，学生数量增长之快，很有可能超过德语考试，成为继西班牙语和法语后的第三门外语考试，故推测越来越多的人在进阶课程考试中选择中
文。A. More and more people choose Chinese in the Advanced Placement test.(越来越多的人在进阶课程考试中选择中文)符合以上推测，故选A项。
3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段A decade ago, most of the schools with Chinese programs were on the east and west coasts. But in recent years, many schools have started Chinese programs in heartland states, including Ohio and Illinois in the Midwest, Texas and Georgia in the South, and Colorado and Utah in the Rocky Mountain West.可知，10年前，大多数有中文班的学校都分布在东西海岸，但现在包括俄亥俄州、得克萨斯州等地的许多学校开始教授中文了。B. Chinese programs have been started in more areas in America recently.（最近中文计划已经开始在美国更多的地方开始）符合以上说法，故选B项。
4．主旨大意题。这是一篇新闻报道，文章第一段就是本文的主旨，根据第一段Thousands of public schools have stopped teaching foreign languages in the last decade, according to a survey. But another contrary trend makes educators and policymakers abuzz: a rush by schools in all parts of America to give lessons in Chinese.可知，近10年华盛顿地区的公立学校停止了外语的教学，但是中文的学习趋势却日益上升。B. Foreign languages fade in American schools except Chinese.（除了中文,在美国很多外语教学开始缩减），故选B项。 【点睛】
第4小题考查文章主旨
新闻报道的主旨一般在文章第一段，该段相当于新闻的导语，高度概括整篇文章讲述的内容。所以遇到这类文章，我们只需弄清第一自然段内容就可找出文章主旨。以本篇为例： 根据第一段Thousands of public schools have stopped teaching foreign languages in the last decade, according to a survey.

For most of us, swinging (摆动) 360 degrees around the spindle (轴) of a swing set is a distant childhood dream, but for some people in Estonia, it’s what they never grow out of. Not only do they still love struggling against gravity (重力), but they actually have created a competitive sport around their favorite entertainment. That sport is known as “kiiking”.
Swings are deep in Estonian culture, and you can still find various types of swings in villages and towns all around the country. They are used by children and adults alike, either for simple fun, or as a way for communities to bond during celebrations. So maybe it doesn’t come as a big surprise that Estonia has an extreme sport based on swinging. Some people see it as dull, others as pointless, but to those who practice it, kiiking is the coolest thing in the world.
The rules of kiiking are pretty simple. Competitors start swinging at a certain height, and if they can complete a full circuit (圈) around the spindle, they can try to do the same after the swing has been raised a little, and so on. Those who fail to do a full spindle are left with the result of their last successful try.
Watching kiiking videos might give you the impression that it’s an easy sport, but Laansalu, who has been practicing it since she was 8 years old, says it requires both great physical strength-strong legs and strong arms-and technique-knowing when to stand or sit in the swing chair, when to push yourself over the spindle of the swing and how to avoid injury.
Small groups of kiikers have been appearing in other countries, including the United States, but now it is still considered as an Estonian sport. There are no international kiiking competitions yet, but Estonia has several national kiiking events throughout the year. 1．What can we know about kiiking? A．It is very easy and safe. B．It is intended for children. C．It is an international sport. D．It is developed from swinging.
2．What should competitors pay attention to in kiiking according to the text? A．The strength of the swing. B．The way to push themselves. C．The time to stand or sit on the swing. D．The position where they end the sport. 3．What decides the success in kiiking? A．The number of circuits he completes. B．The height where he completes a full circuit. C．How long it takes to complete a full circuit. D．How long he performs on the swing.
【答案】 1．D 2．C 3．B 【分析】
本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了竞技秋千这种运动。它的规则非常简单。竞争者们在一定高度的秋千上开始摆动，只要他们能够围绕主轴旋转一圈，就可以尝试挑战高度增长几厘米的秋千，以此往复，取最后一次挑战成功的高度作为最终结果。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段Not only do they still love struggling against gravity, but they actually have created a competitive sport around their favorite entertainment. That sport is known as “kiiking”.（他们不仅仍然喜欢与地心引力作斗争，而且还围绕着他们最喜欢的娱乐活动创造了一项竞争性的运动。这项运动被称为“kiiking”。）可知kiiking是从荡秋千发展而来的。故选D。
2．推理判断题。根据第四段Watching kiiking videos might give you the impression that it’s an easy sport, but Laansalu, who has been practicing it since she was 8 years old, says it requires both great physical strength-strong legs and strong arms-and technique-knowing when to stand or sit in the swing chair, when to push yourself over the spindle of the swing and how to avoid
injury.（看kiiking的视频可能会给你一种很容易的感觉，但是Laansalu，她从8岁起就开始练习，她说这需要很强的身体力量，强壮的腿和有力的手臂，以及知道什么时候站或坐在秋千椅上，什么时候把自己推过秋千的轴，以及如何避免受伤。）可知比赛者要掌握在秋千上站起来和坐下的时间。故选C。
3．细节理解题。根据第三段Competitors start swinging at a certain height, and if they can complete a full circuit (圈) around the spindle, they can try to do the same after the swing has been raised a little, and so on. Those who fail to do a full spindle are left with the result of their last successful try.（竞争者们在一定高度的秋千上开始摆动，只要他们能够围绕主轴旋转一圈，就可以尝试挑战高度增长几厘米的秋千，以此往复，取最后一次挑战成功的高度作为最终结果。）可知，选手的成功取决于他完成动作的高度。故选B。

Take a look inside a high school classroom. You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: many of these students are not paying attention. Instead, they are dozing off (打盹) or even completely asleep.
Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack (缺乏) of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.
Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older. After puberty (青春期), the body’s internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m. So even if a student falls asleep at eleven, they would need to sleep until at least 8 a.m. to get a full night’s sleep. Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a.m.
However，there are schools that have paid attention to this research and delayed the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression (沮丧). The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider delaying their start time of their school day. 1．The second paragraph mainly discusses _____ . A．why high school students should get more sleep B．The life of high school students at present
C．why high school students feel sleepy in the classroom D．how to lighten high school students’ homework load
2．The underlined word “shifts” in Paragraph 3 probably means“______”. A．arrives
B．reduces
C．increases A．Disappointed. C．Puzzled.
D．changes B．Satisfied. D．Surprised.
3．How do the teachers feel about the results from delaying their school day?
【答案】 1．C 2．D 3．B 【分析】
本文介绍了现今高中生课业负担重，家庭作业多，导致学生睡眠不足而课上犯困、精力不集中的现象，因此学校应该减少课业，推迟上课时间，让学生能有足够的睡眠。 1．主旨大意题。根据第二段可知，现今学生们很早到学校，又在学校听讲、参加考试，放学到家后还要做很多家庭作业，这样学生们的睡眠时间就更少了，因此会在课堂上犯困打瞌睡。故第二段主要讨论的是学生课堂上犯困的原因。故选C。
2．词义猜测题。根据前句Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly.可知，大多数孩子每晚至少需要九个小时的睡眠。本句用Yet转折一下，故画线词所在句的意思为“然而随着孩子的长大，9小时的睡眠时间发生了改变”，故画线词意为“变化”。 故选D。
3．推理判断题。根据第四段中They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class，and report lower levels of depression(沮丧).可知，老师们注意到推迟上课后学生们旷课少，上课更专心，在课堂上表现得更好，抑郁程度更低。故可以推断出老师对这个结果是满意的。故选B。 【点睛】

More and more travellers in China nowadays prefer homestays rather than traditional hotels, as they seek private living experiences. The house-sharing model was first introduced by the website Couchsurfing.com in 2003. It is still the largest website for travellers to find accommodation (住宿) without much money to spend.
Encouraged by her great experience of homestays in France, Maggita, 30, considered short-term hire as her first choice in her future trips. She later went back to her hometown Shanghai and ran a \"shared accommodation\" business.
The short-term hire idea has been a win-win business model. For travellers, they can rent a special room at a reasonable price and also enjoy a firsthand experience of the local culture, compared with traditional hotels. For owners, they can gain much with daily rental. Now Maggita has quit her last job in an IT company and become a host of some 20 homestays, which enables her to earn a monthly income of around 40,000 — 50,000 yuan.
In recent years, China has seen many homestay booking websites such as Xiaozhu and Tujia. Chen Chi, the founder and CEO of Xiaozhu, said the model is to share rooms or apartments that are not in use with people who need them.

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如今越来越多的中国游客喜欢寄宿家庭而不是传统的旅游酒店，并介绍了寄宿家庭这种住宿方式的起源、经营方式以及目前面临的问题。 1．推理判断题。由第一段中的“It is still the largest website for travellers to find
accommodation(住宿) without much money to spend.（它仍然是没有很多钱花费的旅行者寻找住宿的最大的网站）”可知，寄宿家庭这种住宿方式是比较省钱的。故选C。 2．词义猜测题。划线单词所在的句子含有连词and，and前后一般连接并列的成分。由and后句子意思（她变成了20家寄宿家庭的主人）可知，Maggita是辞去了她在IT公司的工作。A. Taken up占用；B. Given up放弃；C. Looked for寻找；D. Gone for没有这种搭配。故选B。
3．细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“Instead of the traditional view that Chinese people feel uncomfortable living with strangers, Chen found that a large number of travellers got along well with house owners.（传统的观点认为中国人与陌生人住在一起回感觉不舒服，但是Chen发现很多旅行者与房子主人相处很好）”可知，不用的房间共享模式是被大家很好接受的。A. Useless没用的；B. Relaxing令人放松的；C. Well-accepted被广泛接受的；D. Uncomfortable
不舒服的。故选C。
4．推理判断题。由最后一段的内容“然而，一些专家指出了这一流行趋势带来的一系列问题。那些住宿共享网站缺少监督，服务质量和住宿安全问题得不到保障。专家建议在线的网站要与小区和当地警方紧密合作来改善服务”可推知，缺乏监管是家庭寄宿这一趋势目前面临的最大的问题。故选C。 【点睛】
猜测词义题在高考中有三种考查形式：生词猜测词义或熟词生义、猜测一句话的意思、指代关系猜词（代词或者名词）。从近三年考查形势看，三种考查方式同等重要。本文中考查的是生词猜测词义。这种题型的解法主要是在生词后找到其释义句。例如本文第二题考查的就是词义猜测题，由句子中的连词and可知，前后是两个并列的成份，由此可根据“她变成了20家寄宿家庭的主人”推知划线单词处表达的意思是她离开了原来的工作。据此可选出正确答案。

In high school I was very shy, content to hang around with my small group of friends and to concentrate on my courses. I was quickly labeled a \"brain.\" I did so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect grades and enough college credits to give up an entire quarter of coursework. But in early June of senior year, the principal called me into his office. He asked me to give a speech at graduation. I was surprised to look at him, my heart thumping. This was the reward for my hard work? I murmured something and fled the office, blaming myself for staying away from physics, a subject sure to have broken up my perfect record.
I finally agreed to a compromise. I would share the honor with five other students. I agreed to introduce my friend Judy, who would then give her own, full-length speech.
Graduation day soon arrived, I’d been practicing my speech for days, and I had it memorized. The first half hour of the ceremony passed in a blur, and then my moment came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the stage without falling down. I faced my classmates. My voice
trembled a little, but mostly it was clear and strong. But within seconds, I was done and heading back to my seat. I accomplished something I’d never dreamed of — I spoke in front of hundreds of people.
Although I didn’t realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the confidence to take part in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually break free of my shyness. I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation — or ever. But I’m glad I did. I no longer hesitate when I’m faced with the prospect of doing something I feared. I know it may very well turn out to be one of my shining moments. 1．Why was the writer called a \"brain\"? A．She was the most intelligent student. B．She was the head of her small group. C．She was a bookworm all the time. D．She did more coursework for good grades. 2．What can we learn from the second paragraph? A．She ruined her health by studying hard. B．She got the reward as was expected. C．She was grateful for giving a speech. D．She wasn't good at physics at school.
3．How did the author feel at the beginning of the graduation speech? A．Excited. C．Scared.
A．She had nothing to fear in life, B．She won enough college credits. C．She got rid of her sense of shyness. D．She desired to become a speaker.
B．Moved. D．Embarrassed
4．What did the speech bring to the author at last?

Recently, as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his school team, I was feeling sorry for myself and for him. His team was facing adversity(困境) on the court, trailing for three quarters of the game. As for me, I had just been dismissed from my job.
As I watched what my son was experiencing, I recalled the events earlier in the day—packing up everything in a box and saying goodbye to my colleagues. During the drive home, I kept telling myself that I will find work again—I am confident in my experience and abilities, but self-doubt was still sticking its foot in the door.
The game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still trailing. I saw the determination on his back to not only tie the game, but then go ahead by three points. Then, a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again. With a tie game and seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence, he made the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a foul(犯规).
As Nathan stood preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points, I saw the focus and determination on his face, with no room for self-doubt. After he made the free throw, his team managed to stop the other team from scoring, winning the game and moving on to the finals.
As I sat there, my heart bursting with pride, it dawned on me. I had taught him perseverance(毅力) in the face of adversity, and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He will play in the finals, but it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses. At this moment, we both won.
1．We can learn from the text that ________. A．I lost my job for lack of experience and abilities.
B．Nathans team won a narrow victory in the basketball game. C．I was proud of Nathan because he won the game in the finals. D．Nathan had never doubted himself whenever he was in trouble.
2．The underlined word “trailing” in the first paragraph probably means ________. A．losing C．being defeated
3．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
B．falling behind D．winning
A．My son would win in the finals and I would find a job soon. B．I had once taught my son face to face that we should never give up. C．It was my encouragement and help that made my son win the game. D．I would become more confident about my future after this experience. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．An Inspiring Game C．Lesson from My Son
B．A Moment of Self-doubt D．An Unforgettable Experience

Finally, I entered the university. Because of my careful savings, I did not have to work during the school year. Then, summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night, instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. I even decided to take a class at a community(社区) college. This class at the community college saved me $650. It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.
During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling, I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out. I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks, but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits(贷款) in Israel. About two weeks later my mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but
the loss of time to make money; however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.
This experience has shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic(伦理). Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.
1．Where did the writer probably work part-time before attending the university? A．In a restaurant. C．In a company.
A．Because she wanted to save money. B．Because life there was relatively easy. C．Because summer time was tiring. D．Because it was required by the university. 3．What is the passage mainly about?
A．How the writer made money on the college campus. B．How the writer managed to make full use of her vacation. C．How the writer was forced to support herself by her mother. D．How the writer was shaped by working part-time through college.
B．In the tennis camps.
D．In the campus admissions office.
2．Why did the writer take a class at a community college?
【答案】 1．A 2．A 3．D 【分析】

I come from a family that loves sports. My father coaches Little League baseball. My mother
swims nearly every weekend. My brother is on his high-school basketball team, and I am the best hitter on my middle-school volleyball team. All of us have benefited (受益) from sports. One of the most common ways for kids to take part in sports is to join a team. Joining a sports team should be a school requirement.
Playing sports is good for both the body and mind. Everyone knows that exercise helps people stay fit. For example, swimming helps your heart work better and it also helps build muscle strength (肌肉力量). In addition, school athletes often have a healthy diet. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and avoid fatty foods because I must stay in great condition.
Being on a team allows students to enjoy a healthier social life. They often make more friends and can be some of the most popular kids in school. Since joining the basketball team, my brother has made friends with a lot of his teammates and has showed more interest in spending time with them.
Kids who take part in school teams sometimes earn college scholarships (奖学金). My brother’s friend, Justin, played football in high school. His family did not have money to send him to college. However, a college invited him to play on its team. The college is paying for him to go to school. Joining a team turned out to be one of the best decisions he had ever made. Now he studies at a great college and plays on its football team. Not every school athlete gets a college scholarship, but joining a school team makes it possible.
Although some people may not like the idea of forcing students to join a school team, its many benefits such as keeping kids healthy, new friendships, and possible scholarships cannot be denied (否认).
1．What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2? A．Playing sports has health benefits. B．Students should spend more time exercising. C．Swimming is an excellent sport for students. D．School athletes must try to eat a healthy diet.
2．How did the author’s brother change after joining the team? A．He had a busier life. B．He got more chances. C．He worked much harder. D．He became more sociable. 3．What can we infer about Justin? A．He is a good football player. B．He will be given a scholarship. C．He is managing a school team. D．He comes from a wealthy family.
4．What is the author’s attitude to making students join school teams? A．He doubts it. B．He is in support of it. C．He is worried about it.
D．He pays little attention to it.

Going on vacation can be challenging for people with physical disabilities. Hotels aren't always clear about how accessible (可进入)they are and the adaptive equipment needed to participate in certain activities can be expensive or difficult to obtain.
This is where the online travel marketplace Wheel the World comes in. The website connects physically disabled people with special tour packages, depending on the person's needs. Today Wheel the World offers over 30 accessible destinations in the U.S. and abroad. They've served almost 900 disabled people, their family, and friends. Travelers can sign up for trips to destinations such as New York, Hawaii, Paris, London, and Kruger National Park in South Africa. Trip packages can include adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs, which can be used on the beach and in the ocean, and kayaks (皮艇)，which can help those disabled to kayak. The team also checks the accessibility of destinations themselves, evaluating things such as door widths, bed heights, bathrooms' accessibility and if lifts are functioning.
Silberstein, the company's founder, says there are some trips that are suitable for blind people, though Wheel the World focuses on people with mobility issues. And in the future, they plan to include trips for people with hearing loss, and people with emotional disabilities. “One of the biggest barriers for travelers with physical disabilities is finding information about accessible trips, which is a gap Wheel the World aims to close,” says Silberstein.
Wheel the World is working to enlarge tours in Europe-currently their website lists London and Paris as the only destinations on the continent, but their eventual goal is much higher. “We want to allow millions of disabled people to travel to thousands of destinations,” Silberstein says. 1．What is the function of the first paragraph?
A．To show the great success Wheel the World has gained. B．To tell us the difficulties the disabled face in life. C．To introduce the background of Wheel the World. D．To remind us of the problems with hotel service. 2．What does Wheel the World focus on? A．Collecting travel information for tourists. B．Increasing the online sales of wheelchairs. C．Extending travel business to the whole world. D．Providing proper travel services for the disabled. 3．What does the text mainly tell us?
A．Silberstein has made significant contributions to global tourism. B．Wheel the World helps people with disabilities enjoy their vacations. C．Advanced equipment is enabling the disabled to travel around the world. D．Tour packages intended for blind and deaf tourists have won wide recognition. 4．Which of the following can best describe Silberstein? A．Thoughtful and full-hearted. C．Flexible but aimless.
B．Determined and humorous. D．Creative but hesitant.
【答案】 1．C 2．D 3．B
4．A 【分析】

1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Going on vacation can be...are and the adaptive equipment needed to participate in certain activities can be expensive or difficult to obtain.”可知度假对于残疾人来说很难，接着第二段第一句“This is where the online travel marketplace Wheel the World comes in. ”表明这就是在线旅游市场网站Wheel the World起作用的地方。由此推断第一段就是为了介绍创办Wheel the World网站的背景。故选C项。
2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The website connects physically disabled people with special tour packages, depending on the person's needs.”可知该网站根据残疾人的需要，为残疾人提供特殊的旅游套餐。也就是为残疾人提供合适的旅游服务。故选D项。
3．主旨大意题。结合第1小题可知作者通过第一段介绍了Wheel the World网站出现的背景，第三段详细介绍了该网站是如何为残疾人提供旅游服务的，第四段围绕网站创始人阐述了网站的关注重点和未来计划，最后一段描述了该网站的努力方向。整篇文章都是围绕着Wheel the World这个为残疾人提供旅游服务的网站在写，故B项（Wheel the World帮助残疾人享受假期）最能够概括文章的大意。故选B项。
4．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“ they plan to include trips for people with hearing loss, and people with emotional disabilities. One of the biggest barriers for travelers with physical disabilities is finding information about accessible trips, which is a gap Wheel the World aims to close,” says Silberstein.”可知西尔伯斯坦说，在未来，他们计划为听力丧失的人和有情感障碍的人提供旅行服务。对身体残疾的旅行者来说，最大的障碍之一是寻找关于他们也可以去的旅行的信息，而他的网站旨在（帮助残疾人）克服这一障碍。由此可以看出西尔伯斯坦是个体贴（thoughtful）又全心全意为残疾人着想（full-hearted）的人。故选A项。

Many of us know about Russia’s Take Baikal from our textbook, or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian’s hit song, Lie Baikal. But over the years, the world’s deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.
Each March, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon. The 26-mile（41, 84 kilometers）journey starts on the lake’s eastern shore. In March, the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.
It’s believed that Lake Baikal’s beauty is incomparable. Known as the “blue eye of Siberia”, Lake Baikal has particularly clear waters. This means that its ice is almost perfectly transparent（透明的）. Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she were jogging through space. The scenery might be beautiful, but strong winds blast（侵袭）acorns the lake and forcible can occur within half an hour. Runners say the cold climate is what draws them and that running in such condition is a test of their limits.
“When you are in such an environment, you don’t have cars around and don’t have the noise
around. I think these extreme races push you to be alone” Alicia Badalona, a 64-year-old runner from the US said.
The place offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon The finishing line is visible（可见的）from the start, but the endless while offers no progress markers. Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to snapping sallies（自拍）and just ignore the runners. For runners, the absence of spectators（观众）makes the race more challenging, because it’s lonely. They must fight with themselves. “You are alone on Baikal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need to do is to defeat yourself.” Veronique Messina. a French runner, told the Telegraph.
1．What has kept lake Baikal being a focus over the years？ A．A famous Chinese singer. C．The Baikal ice marathon.
B．A popular song in Russian. D．The coldness of Lake Baikal.

淡水湖一直因为一个极限运动而受到关注。接着第二段就介绍了这个运动“Each March, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon.”每年三月有来自全世界150人左右来参加贝加尔湖冰上马拉松，由此可知，让贝加尔湖成为焦点的是这个冰上马拉松。故选C项。 2．
词义猜测题。this前面是“Lake Baikal has particularly clear waters.”贝加尔湖湖水清澈干净，正是因为湖水的清澈干净使得湖上的冰看起来几乎是完全透明的，由此可知，this是指代前面贝尔加湖水特别清澈干净这件事的。故选A项。 3．
细节理解题。由文中“Runners say the cold climate is what draws them and that running in such condition is a test of their limits.”可知，参加比赛的跑步者都说寒冷的天气吸引了他们，同时在这样条件下跑步，对他们来说是对他们极限的考验，由此可知，参加贝加尔湖冰上比赛的人是为了挑战他们自己的极限。故选D项。 4．
推理判断题。在最后一段第一句话“For runners, the absence of spectators（观众）makes the race more challenging, because it’s lonely. They must fight with themselves. ”首先提出了，对于参赛者，没有观众，就是一种挑战，因为这是会让参赛者感到是在独自比赛，他们必要挑战自己，紧接着就又提到了Veronique Messina和他所说的话“You are alone on Baikal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need to do is to defeat yourself.”来再次印证参赛者是独自比赛，比赛过程中必须要战胜自己。故选B项。 【点睛】
代词指代题是要求考生根据语境逻辑关系来判断画线的代词在文中指代对象。this是指示代词，需要阅读画线所在句的前后临近的内容，分析文中的逻辑关系从而准确找出所指代的对象。如第2小题，this前面是“Lake Baikal has particularly clear waters.”贝加尔湖湖水清澈干净，正是因为湖水的清澈干净使得湖上的冰看起来几乎是完全透明的，由此可知，this是指代前面贝尔加湖湖水清澈干净这件事的。

It was rush hour in the morning. Heather Sant, 36, was driving her white 2012 Mazda on the road with her nine-year-old daughter and ten-year-old son in the back. Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Sant turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda slide off the road and down an embankment(路堤) that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet. If the car didn’t stop, it would take off and dive into the road some 20 feet below. Then a bit of luck: as the car raced toward the edge, its undercarriage got stuck, stopping it suddenly.
The people inside, however, were far from safe. The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall(护墙), balancing on the edge of disaster. One sudden move by anyone inside could throw the car off balance and send it over. Jacob Rodriguez watched everything in terror from the nearby truck company where he works. As an experienced sailor, just like every time he met shipwreck, he whispered a sailing saying “Ship, shipmates, self”, then immediately he and four other men ran to the car. They leaped onto the trunk(后备箱) to balance the weight as the terrified kids in the back seat watched.
Meanwhile, Julio and his nephew Marco, were driving to their jobs at nearby Premier Automotive. Julio jumped out of the car to help while Marco went to the shop, grabbed a strong rope, and returned to the car. He tied the Mazda to an F-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers. With the car secured, the group carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out. But their departure shifted the cars weight, causing it to tip forward. The men, still on the trunk, begged Sant to jump into the back seat. She did and then inched out of the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe.
“Another foot,” Rodriguez told USA Today, “and this would be a different story. ” 1．What most probably caused the traffic accident? A．The Mazda was overloaded. C．The wheel failed to work. A．To open the back door of the car. C．To keep the balance of the car. A．The timely help offered by rescuers. B．The excellent cooperation of all the people. C．The dangerous position where the car stopped. D．The serious danger the rescuers faced.
4．Which of the following statements is consistent with the theme of the passage? A．Persistence will pay off. C．Many hands make light work.
B．One in trouble, all to help. D．Doing is better than saying. B．Sant was really speeding. D．The pickup cut in abruptly. B．To fasten the rope to the truck. D．To help the men get off the trunk.
2．Why did the men ask Sant to move to the back seat?
3．What does Rodriguez want to stress in the last paragraph?
【答案】 1．D
2．C 3．C 4．B 【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章描写了Heather Sant驾车外出，遭遇小货车抢道，致轿车于堤崖边，摇摇欲坠，危机四伏，幸亏周围及路过的陌生人慷慨施救，最终脱险的事情。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Sant turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda slide off the road and down an embankment that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet.可知突然，一辆红色的皮卡车挡住了他们的去路。Sant把方向盘猛地向右一转，马自达从路上滑了下去，滑下路堤，在大约50英尺（约合30米）的地方掉了下去。由此可知，最有可能导致交通事故的原因是小卡车突然出现。故选D。
2．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中But their departure shifted the cars weight, causing it to tip forward. The men, still on the trunk, begged Sant to jump into the back seat. She did and then inched out of the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe.可知但是他们的离开改变了汽车的重量，导致它向前倾。那些人还在行李箱上，恳求Sant跳上后座。她照做了，然后从后门爬了出去。最后，他们小心翼翼地从后备箱上下来。每个人都是安全的。由此可知，男人们让Sant坐到后排是为了保持汽车的平衡。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Another foot,” Rodriguez told USA Today, “and this would be a different story. ”可知“再多一英尺，” Rodriguez告诉《今日美国》，“这将是一个不同的故事。”由此可推知，Rodriguez在最后一段想强调汽车停下来的位置有多么危险。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章描写了Heather Sant驾车外出，遭遇小货车抢道，致轿车于堤崖边，摇摇欲坠，危机四伏，幸亏周围及路过的陌生人慷慨施救，最终脱险的事情。由此可知，B选项“一方有难，八方支援”符合文章主题。故选B。

Every year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that the answer is yes - and finds that alumni (毕业生)of arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years after the fact. The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to 36, were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.
Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated die teen program experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating family, school and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought that it was one of the most important experiences they'd ever had, regardless of age and two-thirds said that they were often in situations where then experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.
It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about arts even
after they reach adulthood: 96 percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of program alumni work in the arts as adults.
Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in museums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts. A decade of surveys the National Endowment for the Arts found that childhood experience with the arts have linked arts education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.
1．What does the underlined phrase “the fact” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Changing the course of children's life. B．Participating in childhood art programs C．Organizing arts-based museum programs. D．Remembering the time at museum events. 2．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A．The result of the study. B．The process of the study. C．The approach to the study. D．The object and content of the study.
3．What can be inferred of the study mentioned in the text? A．Passion for arts may remain long in kids' whole life. B．No other studies exist concerning the benefits of arts. C．Age matters in how people view their art experiences. D．Most children taking part in art programs will work in arts. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．How is Art Connected to Our Life? B．Can Art Education Affect Our Income? C．What Should Art Museums do for Kids? D．Should Children Walk into Art Museums?
【答案】 1．B 2．D 3．A 4．D 【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，博物馆艺术项目会对青少年的未来生活产生重要的积极影响。
1．词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“Every year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. ”中的关键词“teenagers participate in programs”提示和“A new report suggests that the answer is yes - and finds that alumni (毕业生)of arts-based museum
programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years after the fact.” 毕业生多年之后仍然能记得博物馆艺术项目改变他们的生活的事实，可以猜测出，the fact指代“童年参与艺术项目”。故选B。
2．段落大意题。根据文章第二段“The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are.”美国的一些博物馆及艺术中心要求研究人员以找出它们长期存在的青少年艺术项目到底有多有效，及后文中研究对象可知，此段主要陈述研究者研究的对象和内容。故选D。
3．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated die teen program experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives（75%的校友认为青少年活动对自己的生活影响最大）”及“A decade of surveys the National Endowment for the Arts found that childhood experience with the arts have linked arts education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.（儿童时期接触艺术的经历将艺术教育与方方面面联系在一起）”从而可知，对艺术的热爱可能会伴随孩子一生。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章全文特别是第二段“The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are.”可知，该研究的目的，并最终研究发现，博物馆艺术项目会对青少年的未来生活产生重要的积极影响。所以用“Should Children Walk into Art Museums?（儿童应该走进艺术博物馆吗?）”作为文章标题，以吸引读者阅读。故选D。 【点睛】
考查阅读理解选择最佳标题时，需要注意排除绝对化或片面的选项，要放眼全文寻找文章的主旨大意。小题4就是根据文章全文特别是第二段“The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are.” 可知，该研究的目的，并最终研究发现，博物馆艺术项目会对青少年的未来生活产生重要的积极影响。所以用“Should Children Walk into Art Museums?（儿童应该走进艺术博物馆吗?）”作为文章标题，以吸引读者阅读。
