At a farm off Narrow Lane near Lexington,Kentucky,U.S.,old-fashioned houses look over the little red barn (畜舍).The farm is mostly empty now.Jim Mahan and his family,who lived there for generations,have moved to a different plot of land in northern Fayette County.As land is sold,houses go up where there once were fields.
But during the summer,the barn is filled with city kids who have come to enjoy the farm.They’re members of the Fayette County Livestock (FCL) Club,which showcases skills as varied as cutting wool.The barn is where they look after the animals.“A lot of Lexington kids don’t know anything about farm life,” said Adria Meier,17,who has looked after goats and sheep for three years.“There is so much to learn.”
The dozen or so children who take care of their goats and sheep at the little red barn must do a six-hour class before they get an animal.They pay for their own animals but get special club programs,such as one that provides vet (兽医) care.
Mahan lets the group use the barn for free,and the kids spend up to three hours a day there during the summer.But as his land gets sold,he doesn’t know whether the club can continue.What makes the FCL Club special is that most of the kids can’t just walk out their doors and take care of their animals.Most are driven to the barn by their mothers,who usually hang around and chat as their kids feed and exercise the animals.
There are valuable lessons learned along the way.For instance,don’t cut wool off your goat when there is wind,and sheep are social animals and will cry loudly when separated.“Tending to animals helps teach us responsibility.Unlike learning to shoot an arrow,caring for an animal isn’t something you can simply abandon,” said Carly Playforth,16,of Lexington.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一群城里的孩子来到乡间农场体验不同的生活并照顾农场动物的故事。

Young trees don’t just grow;they develop a personality and learn more about their environment and how they should best behave in it.They also help each other out whenever there’s trouble.
Personality,just as among people,varies among trees.Some are anxious,some bold.On the author’s land,there are three oak trees growing close together.One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others.Since they all experience the same temperature,the same soil and the same length of day,such variables can’t be the explanation.So what’s happening?Well,this tree is simply more careful than the others.Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis(光合作用) and store more nutrients.However,the longer a tree keeps its leaves,the higher the risk of injury.
Not only do trees make their own decisions,they also learn from their mistakes.A tree,for example,keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again.This leads to several other conclusions:trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere.Obviously,trees don’t have brains,but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences.
But trees aren’t only clever when it comes to caring for themselves.They also support each other whenever there’s trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients.For example,one time the author found a very old tree stump.Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil.But the wood on the outside of the stump was still living.How was this possible?Well,the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system,and had been for at least 400 years!
Why do trees do such a thing?It’s simple:it’s better together.Trees need the forest;it protects them from storms,provides the right microclimate and warns them of attacks.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了树的智慧:每棵树都有其不同的个性,遇到困难时它们也会互相帮助。研究发现,树不但能自己做决定,还能从自己的错误中吸取教训。
28.Why does the author mention the three oak trees?
A.To illustrate trees can learn from experiences.
B.To show trees can make independent decisions.
C.To explain trees are quite supportive to each other.
D.To prove trees have the same personalities as humans.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第二段第四句可知,三棵橡树中,有一棵总比其他两棵先落叶;结合第三段第一句可知,树木能自己做决定。据此可推知,作者提及三棵橡树旨在说明树木可以自己做决定,故B项正确。
29.According to the text,which of the following best describes general features of trees?
A.Anxious and bold.
B.Smart and adventurous.
C.Helpful and well-behaved.
D.Adaptable and supportive.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第三段第一句并结合第三段内容可知,树木不仅能自己做决定,还能从自己的错误中吸取教训。据此可推知,树木的适应能力强。根据第四段第一、二句可知,树木不仅善于照顾自己,当遇到困难时,它们还相互支持,甚至照顾生病、虚弱的同类。据此可推知,树木之间互帮互助,故D项正确。
30.What does the underlined phrase “do such a thing” mean?
A.Give warnings. B.Offer assistance.
C.Depend on others. D.Provide nutrients.
答案B
解析词义猜测题。根据第四段尾句可知,树桩是由它的邻居从根处给予营养来滋养的;结合第五段第一句和其后的内容可知,该处表示“为什么树木要互相帮助”,显然该短语是指提供帮助,故B项正确。
31.Where does this text most probably come from?
A.A public lecture.
B.A science book.
C.An experiment report.
D.A travel journal.
答案B
解析推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了树的智慧。据此可推知,本文最可能选自科学书籍,故B项正确。
D
In today’s society,language plays a key role in defining gender (性别) by vocabulary,and also the non-verbal (非语言的) vocabulary.Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.
Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women.It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men.This is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are,and also have the ability to speak more clearly,precisely,and more quickly than men.In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting,as opposed to the thirteen-minute average it took men to describe it.
Men and women also tend to have a very different nonverbal way of communicating,which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say.Men’s body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women.Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them.Men avoid other people’s body space while talking,and they also tend to sit back when talking.All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom.Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.
Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral.After learning about our styles of communicating with each other,I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating,what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”?The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost.The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex,“I wonder if there’s something there?” would no longer exist.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了男性和女性因性别差异而导致在沟通方式上也有所不同的现象。
32.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The differences between men’s and women’s languages.
B.The different speed of men’s and women’s speech.
C.The ability of men’s and women’s spoken language.
D.The non-verbal vocabulary of men and women.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据语境可知,代词this指代的是前面的句子“Ithasalsobeenproventhatwomentendtospeakfasterthanmen”,可见,此处的this指的是女性比男性说话快的现象,故选B项。
33.In what way do men and women differ according to the third paragraph?
A.Speed of understanding.
B.Understanding of speech roles.
C.Politeness of communication.
D.Application of body language.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第三段的整体内容,尤其是该段第二句“Men’sbodylanguageismuchmorereservedwhentheyaretalkingtowomen.”可推知,本段主要讲的是男性和女性在非语言表达方式上的不同,即肢体语言使用上的差异,故选D项。
34.What is the author’s attitude to the differences between men’s and women’s communication?
A.Cautious.
B.Favorable.
C.Ambiguous.
D.Skeptical.
答案B
解析观点态度题。根据最后一段第二句和第三句可推知,作者对男性和女性在沟通的差异性上持赞成态度,故选B项。
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.Women,Born Excellent Talkers
B.Men’s and Women’s Social Roles
C.Vocabulary and Communication
D.Opposite Gender,Different Language
答案D
解析主旨大意题。根据第一段的话题导入,并结合全文的整体内容可推知,本文主要讲的是男性和女性因性别差异而导致在沟通方式上也有所不同,故选D项。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As is known to all,we are always consuming various foods.We have to spend large parts of our days finding,buying,cooking and eating our food.Did you ever think it might be nice to be able to make your own food like plants do? 36 They perform a process called photosynthesis(光合作用) using light from the sun,water and carbon dioxide.The end result of this chemical reaction is sugar for the plant to eat.The plant gives off water and oxygen.
37 Plants have special structures called chloroplasts (叶绿体) that animals don’t have.These structures are filled with chlorophyll,which gives leafy green plants their green color.Their main job is to absorb light from the sun.Chloroplasts can absorb every color except green.Light makes chlorophyll active.It creates an energy that separates water out into hydrogen and oxygen.
38 Hydrogen from the water combines with carbon from the carbon dioxide we breathe out.Oxygen is sent out into the air.
39 Plants rely on the carbon dioxide that we breathe out,and we rely on the oxygen that they breathe out.This is one good reason for protecting plant life on Earth.Many plants can produce a constant supply of oxygen for us.We need plants in order to survive.
Conservation (保护) projects around the globe are aimed at protecting our natural resources,including numerous species of plants. 40
A.Plants are producers.
B.Chemical reactions take place.
C.Animals can’t live without water.
D.People and plants make perfect partners.
E.So how do plants do it,and why can’t we?
F.There would be too much carbon dioxide in the air.
G.Our quality of life and the fresh air we breathe depend upon our green plant partners.

解析根据该空后的“bytheeffecttheexperiencehadonhermother—shecouldseeMomstaringatherscars”可知,Sylvia发现妈妈悲伤地凝视着自己遍体的伤痕,深受触动(touched),认识到自己被烫伤一事对妈妈的影响也极大。silence“使安静”;disappoint“使失望”;annoy“使恼怒”。
49.A.quiet B.beautiful
C.angry D.sad
答案D
解析根据该空前的“bytheeffecttheexperiencehadonhermother”,妈妈凝视着她的伤疤可知,妈妈很伤心(sad)。quiet“安静的”;beautiful“漂亮的”;angry“生气的”。
50.A.happened B.started
C.pretended D.agreed
答案B
解析根据该空后的“toposetomakehermom”,为使妈妈重现笑颜,Sylvia开始(start)摆造型。Sylvia或许是强颜欢笑,但姿势不是假摆,故pretended不妥。happen“发生”;pretend“假装”;agree“同意”。
51.A.return B.move
C.smile D.improve
答案C
解析根据上文可知,Sylvia看到妈妈很伤心可推断出,为了让妈妈开心(smile),她摆姿势。return“返回”;move“移动”;improve“改善”。
52.A.rebuilt B.destroyed
C.ended D.saved
答案B
解析根据上下文可知,Sylvia认识到烫伤事故不仅严重影响了她自己,几乎也毁了(destroyed)全家的生活,由妈妈的表现即可看出。rebuild“重建”;end“结束”;save“节省,拯救”。
53.A.think B.learn
C.decide D.change
答案D
解析根据该空后的“notjusttomakeachangeherself”可知,她想要不仅仅自己做出改变(change)。think“认为”;learn“学到”;decide“决定”。
54.A.unique B.uneasy
C.hopeful D.equal
答案A
解析根据该空后的“Weshouldacceptourbodiesthewaytheylook.”可知,“每个人都是独一无二的(unique),我们理应接受身体本来的样子”。uneasy“不舒服的”;hopeful“有希望的”;equal“平等的”。
55.A.benefits B.requires
C.means D.maters
答案C
解析根据该空前的“Shealsoorganizedaswimwearshowfeaturingmodelswithdifferentdisfigurementsandwantedpeopletoseewhatittruly...”可知,Sylvia举办由有缺陷美的模特走的泳衣秀,让人们认识到什么才意味着(means)真正地接受自我,接受每个人真实的样子。benefit“有益于”;require“要求”;matter“要紧”。

阅读下面短文,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段使之构成一个完整的短文。
The event that stands out in Tom’s memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old.He was at home with his elder sister Jane.Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices.At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud,but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick!Quick!Remove the motorcycles from the shop,” someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air.When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate,a thick cloud of smoke greeted him.The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane,who had been playing the violin in her room,hurried to the living room.They rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊)through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track.She turned around and headed back the way they came.Tom had no idea what she was doing,but he followed suit.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them,who they called Makcik Malay for auntie.Jane began banging on Makcik’s door,but got no answer.As the smoke thickened around them,Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety.The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried.However,Jane refused to give up.“I know Makcik’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping.She pounded the door.“Go downstairs.Go now!Go!”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Tom noticed the flame was reaching up.
Luckily,some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help.
参考范文
Tomnoticedtheflamewasreachingup.Frozen with fear,he stood rooted to the spot.He comprehended the gravity of the situation and held Jane’s hand tightly.By then,both of them were coughing and their eyes were stinging.Time seemed to stand still,though they were probably there for only two or three minutes.Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible.Jane tried to shield her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head.She kept pounding against the door.Tom burst out crying.
Luckily,someneighbourspassingbystoppedandofferedhelp.A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane’s mind.She told them Makcik must be still in the room.They forced the door open with all their might.Sure enough,Makcik was lying in bed,unconscious.She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital,where she finally came to herself.People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom’s joy was immense.

At a farm off Narrow Lane near Lexington,Kentucky,U.S.,old-fashioned houses look over the little red barn (畜舍).The farm is mostly empty now.Jim Mahan and his family,who lived there for generations,have moved to a different plot of land in northern Fayette County.As land is sold,houses go up where there once were fields.
But during the summer,the barn is filled with city kids who have come to enjoy the farm.They’re members of the Fayette County Livestock (FCL) Club,which showcases skills as varied as cutting wool.The barn is where they look after the animals.“A lot of Lexington kids don’t know anything about farm life,” said Adria Meier,17,who has looked after goats and sheep for three years.“There is so much to learn.”
The dozen or so children who take care of their goats and sheep at the little red barn must do a six-hour class before they get an animal.They pay for their own animals but get special club programs,such as one that provides vet (兽医) care.
Mahan lets the group use the barn for free,and the kids spend up to three hours a day there during the summer.But as his land gets sold,he doesn’t know whether the club can continue.What makes the FCL Club special is that most of the kids can’t just walk out their doors and take care of their animals.Most are driven to the barn by their mothers,who usually hang around and chat as their kids feed and exercise the animals.
There are valuable lessons learned along the way.For instance,don’t cut wool off your goat when there is wind,and sheep are social animals and will cry loudly when separated.“Tending to animals helps teach us responsibility.Unlike learning to shoot an arrow,caring for an animal isn’t something you can simply abandon,” said Carly Playforth,16,of Lexington.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一群城里的孩子来到乡间农场体验不同的生活并照顾农场动物的故事。

A.Kids’ life on a sold farm.
B.Valuable lessons learned on the farm.
C.A special club intended for Lexington kids.
D.A club activity of caring for farm animals.

Young trees don’t just grow;they develop a personality and learn more about their environment and how they should best behave in it.They also help each other out whenever there’s trouble.
Personality,just as among people,varies among trees.Some are anxious,some bold.On the author’s land,there are three oak trees growing close together.One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others.Since they all experience the same temperature,the same soil and the same length of day,such variables can’t be the explanation.So what’s happening?Well,this tree is simply more careful than the others.Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis(光合作用) and store more nutrients.However,the longer a tree keeps its leaves,the higher the risk of injury.
Not only do trees make their own decisions,they also learn from their mistakes.A tree,for example,keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again.This leads to several other conclusions:trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere.Obviously,trees don’t have brains,but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences.
But trees aren’t only clever when it comes to caring for themselves.They also support each other whenever there’s trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients.For example,one time the author found a very old tree stump.Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil.But the wood on the outside of the stump was still living.How was this possible?Well,the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system,and had been for at least 400 years!
Why do trees do such a thing?It’s simple:it’s better together.Trees need the forest;it protects them from storms,provides the right microclimate and warns them of attacks.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了树的智慧:每棵树都有其不同的个性,遇到困难时它们也会互相帮助。研究发现,树不但能自己做决定,还能从自己的错误中吸取教训。
28.Why does the author mention the three oak trees?
A.To illustrate trees can learn from experiences.
B.To show trees can make independent decisions.
C.To explain trees are quite supportive to each other.
D.To prove trees have the same personalities as humans.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第二段第四句可知,三棵橡树中,有一棵总比其他两棵先落叶;结合第三段第一句可知,树木能自己做决定。据此可推知,作者提及三棵橡树旨在说明树木可以自己做决定,故B项正确。
29.According to the text,which of the following best describes general features of trees?
A.Anxious and bold.
B.Smart and adventurous.
C.Helpful and well-behaved.
D.Adaptable and supportive.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第三段第一句并结合第三段内容可知,树木不仅能自己做决定,还能从自己的错误中吸取教训。据此可推知,树木的适应能力强。根据第四段第一、二句可知,树木不仅善于照顾自己,当遇到困难时,它们还相互支持,甚至照顾生病、虚弱的同类。据此可推知,树木之间互帮互助,故D项正确。
30.What does the underlined phrase “do such a thing” mean?
A.Give warnings. B.Offer assistance.
C.Depend on others. D.Provide nutrients.
答案B
解析词义猜测题。根据第四段尾句可知,树桩是由它的邻居从根处给予营养来滋养的;结合第五段第一句和其后的内容可知,该处表示“为什么树木要互相帮助”,显然该短语是指提供帮助,故B项正确。
31.Where does this text most probably come from?
A.A public lecture.
B.A science book.
C.An experiment report.
D.A travel journal.
答案B
解析推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了树的智慧。据此可推知,本文最可能选自科学书籍,故B项正确。
D
In today’s society,language plays a key role in defining gender (性别) by vocabulary,and also the non-verbal (非语言的) vocabulary.Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.
Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women.It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men.This is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are,and also have the ability to speak more clearly,precisely,and more quickly than men.In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting,as opposed to the thirteen-minute average it took men to describe it.
Men and women also tend to have a very different nonverbal way of communicating,which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say.Men’s body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women.Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them.Men avoid other people’s body space while talking,and they also tend to sit back when talking.All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom.Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.
Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral.After learning about our styles of communicating with each other,I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating,what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”?The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost.The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex,“I wonder if there’s something there?” would no longer exist.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As is known to all,we are always consuming various foods.We have to spend large parts of our days finding,buying,cooking and eating our food.Did you ever think it might be nice to be able to make your own food like plants do? 36 They perform a process called photosynthesis(光合作用) using light from the sun,water and carbon dioxide.The end result of this chemical reaction is sugar for the plant to eat.The plant gives off water and oxygen.
37 Plants have special structures called chloroplasts (叶绿体) that animals don’t have.These structures are filled with chlorophyll,which gives leafy green plants their green color.Their main job is to absorb light from the sun.Chloroplasts can absorb every color except green.Light makes chlorophyll active.It creates an energy that separates water out into hydrogen and oxygen.
38 Hydrogen from the water combines with carbon from the carbon dioxide we breathe out.Oxygen is sent out into the air.
39 Plants rely on the carbon dioxide that we breathe out,and we rely on the oxygen that they breathe out.This is one good reason for protecting plant life on Earth.Many plants can produce a constant supply of oxygen for us.We need plants in order to survive.
Conservation (保护) projects around the globe are aimed at protecting our natural resources,including numerous species of plants. 40
A.Plants are producers.
B.Chemical reactions take place.
C.Animals can’t live without water.
D.People and plants make perfect partners.
E.So how do plants do it,and why can’t we?
F.There would be too much carbon dioxide in the air.
G.Our quality of life and the fresh air we breathe depend upon our green plant partners.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段使之构成一个完整的短文。
The event that stands out in Tom’s memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old.He was at home with his elder sister Jane.Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices.At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud,but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick!Quick!Remove the motorcycles from the shop,” someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air.When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate,a thick cloud of smoke greeted him.The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane,who had been playing the violin in her room,hurried to the living room.They rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊)through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track.She turned around and headed back the way they came.Tom had no idea what she was doing,but he followed suit.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them,who they called Makcik Malay for auntie.Jane began banging on Makcik’s door,but got no answer.As the smoke thickened around them,Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety.The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried.However,Jane refused to give up.“I know Makcik’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping.She pounded the door.“Go downstairs.Go now!Go!”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Tom noticed the flame was reaching up.
Luckily,some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help.
参考范文
Tomnoticedtheflamewasreachingup.Frozen with fear,he stood rooted to the spot.He comprehended the gravity of the situation and held Jane’s hand tightly.By then,both of them were coughing and their eyes were stinging.Time seemed to stand still,though they were probably there for only two or three minutes.Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible.Jane tried to shield her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head.She kept pounding against the door.Tom burst out crying.
Luckily,someneighbourspassingbystoppedandofferedhelp.A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane’s mind.She told them Makcik must be still in the room.They forced the door open with all their might.Sure enough,Makcik was lying in bed,unconscious.She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital,where she finally came to herself.People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom’s joy was immense.
