【答案】11. has got
12. published
13. less
【解析】

【11题详解】
考查时态。句意：本周一发布的一份报告显示，在过去十年中，我国儿童和青少年睡眠不足问题日益严重，超过80%的儿童和青少年在校期间睡眠不足。根据句中时间状语in the past ten years可知，用一般现在时。句中主语为Lack of sleep，不可数，所以谓语动词用has。故填has got。
【12题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：本周一发布的一份报告显示，在过去十年中，我国儿童和青少年睡眠不足问题日益严重，超过80%的儿童和青少年在校期间睡眠不足。名词report与publish之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语。故填published。

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章对“牛”的精神和内涵进行了介绍。
【14题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意：几个世纪以前，大多数人靠务农为生。根据Centuries ago可知，此处应用一般过去时。故填earned。
【15题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：今天，“牛精神”仍然是指克服任何可能出现的障碍。定语从句“may present itself as an obstacle”中缺少主语，且先行词anything为不定代词，所以只能用关系代词that。故填that。
【16题详解】
考查被动语态和一般现在时。句意：这种精神受到高度赞扬，许多人把它作为他们的工作原则。动词praise意为“表扬”，和主语spirit构成被动关系。此处描述客观事实，应用一般现在时。故填is praised。
【17题详解】

【19题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：就像以前的电脑一样，智能手机正在改变我们的生活。宾语从句“computers achieved before”中缺少achieved的宾语，且指事物，所以应用what。故填what。
【20题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：那就是我经常发现自己心不在焉的原因。主语和宾语都是“我”，所以应用反身代词作宾语。故填myself。

B
Growing up in rural Malawi, Africa, William Kamkwamba learned to accept that life was hard. He lived with his parents and seven sisters in a small clay house without electricity or running water. Like most boys in his village, William was expected to assist his parents on the family farm, as well as keep up with his school work. Each night, like most Malawians, his family went to bed early because the kerosene oil they needed to light the lamps was costly.
When he was 10, a terrible drought left many Malawians hungry and William’s family was no exception. At the age of 13, William and many other children were forced to drop out of school when their parents could no longer afford his schooling. William had to work even harder to help his family, but he wasn’t ready to give up his education. He went to the local library and took out some books to study. One book, called Using Energy, sparked William’s interest in science and gave him an idea that significantly changed his future.
In the book, William found a picture of a windmill, and a brief description of how it could be used to generate electricity from wind. He knew that there was plenty of wind in his village, and realized that if he could build a windmill like that, he could give his family and the people in his village a much better life. There was just one problem. The book didn’t explain how to build a windmill, and neither did any of the other books in the library.
What happened over the next year demonstrated William’s incredible ambition and determination. He began to collect any kinds of materials he thought could be useful—scraps of wood, broken bicycles, old shoes—and started to build a windmill next to his family’s house. He endured many challenges and failures. Other people in his village called him crazy and said his idea would never work. Finally, at the age of 14, William completed his first windmill. When they saw electric lights and heard the sound of music on the radio coming from William’s house, the village people came running. He had done it. William Kamkwamba had found a way to capture the wind.
Kamkwamba’s autobiography, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, tells the story of how the rest of the world came to know about his achievements. With the help of international supporters, his village now has clean running water, solar powered lighting, and electric power. As a result of his actions, Kamkwamba was invited to study engineering at Dartmouth College, one of the top-ranking universities in the U. S. He also travels the world and gives talks about how he made his dream a reality.
24. William went to the local library because ________.
A. he wanted to find some materials for his invention B. it was his favorite way to kill time and relax
C. it was believed to be a way to change his fate D. he wanted to continue his education
25. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A. why the windmill is so attractive B. how William got inspired by a book
C. why William decided to continue his education D. how a windmill works to produce electricity
26. William Kamkwamba can be best described as ________.
A. brave and patient B. honest and forgiving
C. ambitious and determined D. reasonable and humorous
27. What is the message conveyed in the passage?
A. We should strike while the iron is hot.
B. A good beginning makes a good end.
C. One who lives his dream can make a difference.
D. You’d better not put all the eggs in one basket.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了William Kamkwamba从一本书得到灵感，凭借着雄心和决心修建了自己的风车，他还环游世界，并发表演讲，讲述他是如何实现自己的梦想的。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“William had to work even harder to help his family, but he wasn’t ready to give up his education. He went to the local library and took out some books to study.(William不得不更加努力地工作来帮助他的家庭，但他不准备放弃学业。他去了当地的图书馆，拿出了一些书来学习)”可知，William去了当地的图书馆，因为他想继续他的教育。故选D。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“In the book, William found a picture of a windmill, and a brief description of how it could be used to generate electricity from wind. He knew that there was plenty of wind in his village, and realized that if he could build a windmill like that, he could give his family and the people in his village a much better life. There was just one problem. The book didn’t explain how to build a windmill, and neither did any of the other books in the library.(在这本书中，William找到了一张风车的图片，并简要描述了风车是如何利用风力发电的。他知道他的村子里有很多风，并且意识到如果他能建一个这样的风车，他可以给他的家人和村子里的人更好的生活。只有一个问题。这本书没有解释如何建造风车，图书馆里的其他书也没有)”可知，第三段主要是关于William是如何从一本书中得到灵感的。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“What happened over the next year demonstrated William’s incredible ambition and determination. He began to collect any kinds of materials he thought could be useful—scraps of wood, broken bicycles, old shoes—and started to build a windmill next to his family’s house. He endured many challenges and failures. Other people in his village called him crazy and said his idea would never work. Finally, at the age of 14, William completed his first windmill. When they saw electric lights and heard the sound of music on the radio coming from William’s house, the village people came running. He had done it. William Kamkwamba had found a way to capture the wind. (接下来的一年里发生的事情显示了William不可思议的雄心和决心。他开始收集任何他认为可能有用的材料——碎木头、破自行车、旧鞋子——并开始在他家附近建造一座风车。他经受了许多挑战和失败。村里的其他人都说他疯了，说他的想法根本行不通。 最终，在14岁的时候，威廉完成了他的第一座风车。当他们看到电灯，听到从威廉家传来的收音机里传来的音乐声时，村民们都跑了过来。他做到了。 William Kamkwamba找到了一种捕捉风的方法)”可推知，对William Kamkwamba最恰当的描述是：雄心勃勃和决心坚定。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Kamkwamba’s autobiography, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, tells the story of how the rest of the world came to know about his achievements. With the help of international supporters, his village now has clean running water, solar powered lighting, and electric power. As a result of his actions, Kamkwamba was invited to study engineering at Dartmouth College, one of the top-ranking universities in the U. S. He also travels the world and gives talks about how he made his dream a reality.(Kamkwamba的自传《驾驭风的男孩》讲述了世界上其他人是如何知道他的成就的。在国际支持者的帮助下，他的村庄现在有了清洁的自来水、太阳能照明和电力。由于他的行动，Kamkwamba被邀请到达特茅斯学院学习工程学，这是美国最顶尖的大学之一。他还环游世界，并发表演讲，讲述他是如何实现自己的梦想的)”结合文章主要讲述了William Kamkwamba从一本书得到灵感，凭借着雄心和决心修建了自己的风车，他还环游世界，并发表演讲，讲述他是如何实现自己的梦想的。可推知，这篇文章传达的信息是一个实现梦想的人可以改变世界。故选C。
C
Cycling
You need only look at a professional cyclist to appreciate the potential effects of cycling on the body. But what about the mind? It’s a question that has long challenged anyone who has wondered how riding a bike can offer what feels close to a state of emptying your mind.
Dr. John Ratey thinks cycling increases “the chemistry in your brain that makes you feel calm,” but also that carrying out multiple operations while cycling can be an effective treatment, as shown in a German study involving 115 children, half of whom did activities such as cycling that involved complex movements, while the rest performed more straightforward exercises with the same aerobic (有氧的) demands. Both groups did better than they previously had in concentration tests, but the “complex” group did a lot better.
There have been other interesting findings too. In 2003, Dr. Jay Alberts rode a tandem bicycle, a bicycle built for two riders sitting one behind the other, across the American state of Ohio with a friend who has Parkinson’s (帕金森) disease, a condition affecting the nervous system. The idea was to raise awareness of the disease, but to the surprise of both riders, the patient showed significant improvements. Dr. Jay Alberts then scanned the brains of 26 Parkinson’s patients during and after an eight-week exercise programme using bikes. Half the patients were allowed to ride at their own paces, while the others were pushed harder. All patients improved, and the group which was pushed harder showed particularly significant increases in connectivity between areas of intelligence responsible for functions such as walking and picking things up.
We don’t know how this happens, but there is more evidence of the link between Parkinson’s and cycling. A video on the Internet shows a 58-year-old man with severe Parkinson’s. At first, we watch the patient trying to walk. He can barely stand and his hands shake uncontrollably. Then we see the man on a bicycle being supported by others. With a push, he’s off, cycling past cars with perfect balance. Doctors don’t fully understand this discrepancy either, but say that cycling may act as some sort of action that helped the patient’s brain.
The science of cycling is incomplete, but perhaps the most remarkable thing for the everyday rider is that it can require no conscious focus at all. The mindlessness of cycling can not only make us happier, but also leave room for other thoughts. On the seat of my bike, I’ve solved problems at work and made life decisions, as, I’m sure, have countless others.
28. What does the study described in Paragraph 2 suggest?
A. Cycling has a good effect on physical fitness.
B. The tasks involved in cycling can be hard for children.
C. Lack of exercise like cycling causes lack of concentration.
D. Cycling can improve the ability to focus attention on a task.
29. Studies of people with Parkinson’s show that ______.
A. cycling does more good if sufferers put more effort into it
B. cycling on tandem bikes has a better effect on the disease
C. not every person with Parkinson’s will benefit from cycling
D. social awareness is more important for Parkinson’s sufferers
30. What does the underlined part “this discrepancy” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Why Parkinson’s affects some people and not others.
B. Why someone with Parkinson’s can cycle but not walk.
C. How cycling could be included in treatment for Parkinson’s.
D. How a link between cycling and Parkinson’s was discovered.
31. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The effect of cycling is not yet fully understood.
B. Cycling is believed to be both complex and mindless.
C. Cycling has a significant influence on people’s mind.
D. People may be more intelligent with the help of cycling,
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【分析】本文属于科普文章。骑自行车不仅可以强身健体，而且对于人的脑子也有益处。比如骑自行车可使人对任务的注意力有所提高，患帕金森症的病人骑自行车后，投入的时间越多恢复的越好。对此虽然不够科学，但确实存在。骑自行车对人的身心有很大的影响。

推理判断题。根据第二段“as shown in a German study involving 115 children, half of whom did activities such as cycling that involved complex movements,…Both groups did better than they previously had in concentration tests, but the “complex” group did a lot better.”中可知，在德国的一项涉及115名儿童，其中一半人是骑自行车，活动中涉及到复杂的动作，而其余的直接进行相同的有氧的运动。两组在注意力集中在任务上的测试时都比做运动以前好，但是骑自行车等复杂性动词的人表现的更好。分析选项可知D项（骑自行车可以提高注意力集中在任务上的能力）还有同义词组concentrate（文中的名词concentration）= focus on。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Dr. Jay Alberts then scanned the brains of 26 Parkinson’s patients during and after an eight-week exercise programme using bikes. Half the patients were allowed to ride at their own paces, while the others were pushed harder. All patients improved, and the group which was pushed harder showed particularly significant increases in connectivity between areas of intelligence responsible for functions such as walking and picking things up.”可知，Jay Alberts博士接着扫描26帕金森病人的脑中，使用自行车八周锻炼后。一半的病人被允许按自己的速度骑，其他的则被推得更用力。所有的病人都得到了改善，骑车人投入更多的精力，许多功能区连通性显著增加，恢复的更好。由此可知骑自行车对于这种病的恢复有显著的影响，投入的精力越多，治疗的效果越好。分析选项可知A项符合题意，故选A。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段内容可知本段主要叙述了患帕金森症人的恢复与骑自行车有一定的关系。患有帕金森症的开始连站都不能，也不能走路，但骑上自行车后却能掌握平衡。可知本段所说的“this discrepancy”（这种差异）就是指患有帕金森症的人能骑自行车却不能步行。分析选项可知B项与题意相符，故选B项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章的第一段中提出了骑自行车有益于身体健康，接着提出了问题是否对人的脑子有影响。而且骑自行车对人的脑子有影响这个问题一直困扰着人们。在第二段John Ratey博士用实验证明了骑自行车对人对任务的注意力有提高，第三段Jay Alberts博士又发现了患帕金森症的病人骑自行车投入的时间越多，恢复的越好。最后一段作者用自己的事例再一次证明骑自行车对人的头脑有很大的影响，由此可知C符合题意。

Homework
Do arithmetic problems 15 through 25. State the different forms of the verbs on page 50 of your French workbook. Read pages 12 through 20 of the Shakespeare play, and don't forget to fill in the missing chemical symbols on the worksheet.
Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nights — or maybe even just for tonight? ____32____ It's your teachers' way of evaluating how much you know what's going on in class. And it helps strengthen important concepts.
____33____ It's inviting to start with the easy things to get them out of the way. However, you'll have the most energy and focus when you begin, so it's best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging. Later, when you're more tired, you can focus on the simpler things. If you get stuck on a problem, try to figure it out as well as you can — but don't spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night. ____34____ But don’t pick someone whom you'll be up all night chatting with, or you'll never get it done!
Most people’s attention spans aren't very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people. ____35____
Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack — there's nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you can't find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister. ____36____ Now you're free to hang out.
A. Homework is a major part of going to school.
B. Luckily, you can do a few things to do less homework.
C. If you need to, ask an adult for help or call or email a classmate for advice.
D. And no teacher still believes that "chewed by the dog" line — even when it's true!
E. When you start your homework, deal with the hardest tasks first.
F. But if you're really concentrating, wait until it's a good time to stop.
G. In conclusion, no one is expected to stay long, and people have very different learning styles.
【答案】32. A 33. E 34. C 35. F 36. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。家庭作业是上学的一个主要部分，是老师评估你对课堂内容理解程度的一种方式。它有助于强化概念。文章主要就如何完成作业提出了一些建议。
【32题详解】
根据上文“Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nights — or maybe even just for tonight?(听起来像是你接下来几天晚上的作业清单——或者甚至只是今晚的作业？)”以及后文“It's your teachers' way of evaluating how much you know what's going on in class. And it helps strengthen important concepts.(这是老师评估你对课堂内容理解程度的一种方式。它有助于强化概念)”可知，上文提到了家庭作业，后文则在解释家庭作业的作用，可知本句为过渡句，承上启下说明家庭作业的作用，A选项中Homework与上文homework相对应。A选项“家庭作业是上学的一个主要部分”符合语境，故选A。
【33题详解】
根据后文“It's inviting to start with the easy things to get them out of the way. However, you'll have the most energy and focus when you begin, so it's best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging. Later, when you're more tired, you can focus on the simpler things. (从简单的事情开始，先把它们完成，这很诱人。然而，当你开始的时候，你会有最多的精力和注意力，所以最好把这种精神力量用在最具挑战性的课题上。之后，当你更累的时候，你可以专注于更简单的事情)”可知，后文提到最开始写作业时，精力和注意力更好，之后，当你更累的时候，你可以专注于更简单的事情，可推知本句作为本段的中心句，是在建议先从最难的作业开始写起。E选项中the hardest tasks对应后文中subjects that are most challenging。E选项“当你开始做家庭作业时，先处理最难的作业”符合语境，故选E。
【34题详解】
根据上文“If you get stuck on a problem, try to figure it out as well as you can — but don't spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night. (如果你被一个问题困住了，试着尽可能地把它弄清楚——但不要在它上面花太多时间，因为这会打乱你剩下的晚上的家庭作业计划)”以及后文“But don’t pick someone whom you'll be up all night chatting with, or you'll never get it done! ( 但是不要选择一个你会和他整晚聊天的人，否则你永远也不会完成作业！)”可知，上文提到写作业遇到了难题，后文则提到不要选择爱和你聊天的人，可推知本句是在说明向他人求助，后文则提到了求助时的注意事项。C选项“如果你需要的话，可以向成年人寻求帮助，或者打电话或发邮件向同学寻求建议”符合语境，故选C。
【35题详解】
根据上文“Most people’s attention spans aren't very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.(大多数人注意力持续时间都不长，所以做作业时不妨休息一下。坐太久而不放松会使你的工作效率不如你经常停下来。对大多数人来说，每小时休息15分钟是个不错的主意)”可知，本段主要是在说明写作业时注意力持续时间的问题，F选项中concentrating对应上文中attention spans。F选项“但是如果你的注意力真的很集中，那就等到合适的时候停下来”符合语境，故选F。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack — there's nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you can't find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister. (一旦你的作业完成了，如果你有多余的时间，你可以检查一下。一定要把它安全地放在背包里——再没有比完成作业第二天找不到或者被粗心的兄弟姐妹毁了更糟糕的事情了)”可知，本段主要是说明作业完成后的存放问题，且上文提到了找不到作业，或是作业被毁的情况，D选项“没有一个老师仍然相信‘作业被狗吃了’的谎言——即使它是真的！”符合语境，故选D。
第三节 阅读短文，回答问题（共3小题，57、58小题各2分，59小题4分，共8分）
阅读短文，回答问题
It was a hot July day. The five boys and I wanted to find some new tricks to play. “Hey!” Ned said, “We haven’t climbed the cliff for a long while. ” “Let’s go!” said someone else. And off they went. I hesitated. I longed to be brave and active, like them, but I’d been a sickly child most of my eight years and my mother often told me not to adventure.
“Come on!” called Jerry, my best friend. “Just because you’ve been sick is no reason to be timid. ” “I’m coming!” I yelled, and ran along after them.
Through the park and into the woods, we finally approached the cliff, which was only about 60 feet high, but to me it just seemed impossible because it was almost vertical (垂直的).
One by one, the other boys began to climb upward. Then trembling and sweating, I began to climb, my heart beating widely in my skinny chest. At some point, I looked back and was horrified. The ground at the base of the cliff seemed very far below; one slip and I would fall. Soon, the boys were up to the top. Then they left, leaving me clinging (紧握) to the rock alone.
I looked down and was overcome by dizziness: I could never climb back down. It was much too far to go and I would fall and die. But the way up to the top was even worse --- higher, steeper and more dangerous; I would never make it.
Time passed and it was getting dark. I began to sob.
After what seemed one hundred years, I heard my father’s comforting voice: “Come on down, boy. ”
“No, I can’t,” I howled. “It’s too far, it is too hard, I can’t do it. ”
“Listen to me,” my father said. “Don’t think about how far it is and all you have to think about is taking one little step. ” I inched backward. Eventually I took the last step down onto rocks at the bottom.
Now whenever I’m faced with a frightening situation, I’ll remind myself not to look at the rocks far below, but at the first small and relatively easy step, feeling a sense of accomplishment with each move, until I have done what I wanted to do.
37. Why did the writer hesitate to climb the cliff at first?
38. What was the embarrassing situation the writer had to face in Paragraph 5?
39. What’s your attitude towards “fear” in life? Please explain it. (about 40 words)
【答案】37. Because he was not strong. / Because he was sickly. / Because his mother warned him not to adventure.
38. He neither dared to climb up nor climb back. / He couldn’t climb up the cliff and dared not climb back.
39. It’s normal to have fears. When facing fear, I tend to accept it with a positive view and try my best to analyze the situation. I think fears can be overcome if we have a committed and focused will. (39 w)
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者和五个男孩一起去爬悬崖，其他男孩都爬到了山顶，但是作者不敢，在爸爸的鼓励下作者迈出了最后一步，踏上了底部的岩石，现在每当作者面对可怕的情况时都会提醒自己当时爸爸的鼓励。
【37题详解】
考查细节理解题。根据第一段的“I longed to be brave and active, like them, but I’d been a sickly child most of my eight years and my mother often told me not to adventure.（我渴望像他们一样勇敢和活跃，但在我8岁的大部分时间里，我一直是一个多病的孩子，母亲经常告诉我不要冒险。）”可知，作者一开始对攀登悬崖犹豫不决是因为他不强壮，爱生病，他妈妈警告他不要冒险。故答案为Because he was not strong. / Because he was sickly. / Because his mother warned him not to adventure.。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的“I looked down and was overcome by dizziness: I could never climb back down. It was much too far to go and I would fall and die. But the way up to the top was even worse --- higher, steeper and more dangerous; I would never make it.（我低头一看，感到一阵头晕，再也爬不下去了。它太远了，我会掉下去死掉。但通往山顶的路更糟糕——更高、更陡、更危险;我永远也做不到。）”可知，作者在第5段中不得不面对的尴尬局面是他既不敢爬上去，也不敢爬回去，故答案为He neither dared to climb up nor climb back./He couldn’t climb up the cliff and dared not climb back.。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。短文主要讲的是作者和五个男孩一起去爬悬崖，其他男孩都爬到了山顶，但是作者不敢，在爸爸的鼓励下作者迈出了最后一步，踏上了底部的岩石，现在每当作者面对可怕的情况时都会提醒自己当时爸爸的鼓励。所以我对恐惧的态度是有恐惧是正常的。当面对恐惧时，我倾向于以积极的态度去接受它，并尽我所能去分析情况。我认为如果我们有坚定和专注的意志，恐惧是可以克服的。故答案为It’s normal to have fears. When facing fear, I tend to accept it with a positive view and try my best to analyze the situation. I think fears can be overcome if we have a committed and focused will.。

【答案】Dear Chris,
I’m sorry to learn that you’ve been under a lot of pressure lately due to the upcoming A-Level test. Anyone in your situation would suffer a certain amount of stress. But don’t worry too much, or you may find yourself having problems with sleep, appetite, or even memory. Here are some ways I think that can deal with stress.
The first thing you can try is to exercise. Exercises like walking or running not only boost energy but also build confidence. Another way is to enjoy some games with friends, which can take your mind off the stress and make you more relaxed. It might also be a good idea to talk to someone who is a good listener; having someone to listen to your problems can make you feel better.
I believe it will all work out. Cheer up! Let me know if I can help further.
Yours,
Li Hua
