Ⅴ.阅读理解

Born in London in 1825,Thomas Henry Huxley was one of the greatest men of the nineteenth century.In 1846 Thomas Henry Huxley was appointed assistant doctor aboard H.M.S.Rattlesnake.The ship had been asked to survey areas of the Great Barrier Reef and the neighbouring seas.This gave Thomas Henry Huxley an opportunity to study animal life and was the start of his biological career.The voyage lasted four years,during which time he gathered much information on plankton (浮游生物).

On his return from the voyage,Thomas Henry Huxley was made a member of the Royal Society in recognition of his scientific work.Although he continued to publish papers about plankton,his interest was turning towards vertebrate (有脊椎的) animals.For some time Thomas Henry Huxley and his workmates had been discussing the possibility that animal species had evolved (进化),one from another.No satisfactory theories had been put forward,but in 1859 Darwin’s OriginofSpecies appeared.Thomas Henry Huxley at once realised its importance and how the theory of natural selection provided “the working hypothesis (假说) we sought”.

For the rest of his life Thomas Henry Huxley struggled to ensure the full recognition of Darwin’s work.In 1863 Thomas Henry Huxley published Man’sPlaceinNature in which he compared man and great apes (猿).He clearly showed similarities.

Despite his many achievements,he was given no award by the British state until late in his life.From about 1870,Thomas Henry Huxley was too involved in other things to continue actual research.He had always been interested in education.He pioneered the teaching of biology and his method of selecting “type animals” is still followed today.He spent the last ten years of his life writing essays mainly on biology.

Ⅵ.七选五

HowtoRememberWhatYouRead

Reading is important.But the next step is to make sure that you remember what you’ve read!　1　 You may have just read the text,but the ideas,concepts and images (形象) may fly right out of your head.Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read. 

●　2　 

If the plot,characters,or word usage is confusing for you,you probably won’t be able to remember what you read.It’s a bit like reading a foreign language.If you don’t understand what you’re reading,how would you remember it?But there are a few things you can do...Use a dictionary;look up the difficult words.

●Are you connected?

Does a character remind you of a friend?Does the setting make you want to visit the place?Does the book inspire you,and make you want to read more?With some books,you may feel a connection right away.　3　 How willing are you to make the connections happen? 

●Read it;hear it;be it!

Read the lines.Then,speak them out loud.And,put some characters into the words.When he was writing his novels,Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters.He’d make faces in the mirror,and change his voice for each character.　4　 

●How often do you read?

If you read frequently,you’ll likely have an easier time with remembering what you’re reading (and what you’ve read).　5　 As you make reading a regular part of your life,you’ll make more connections,stay more focused and understand the text better.You’ll learn to enjoy literature—as you remember what you read! 

A.Are you confused?

B.Practice makes perfect.

C.What’s your motivation?

D.Memory is sometimes a tricky thing.

E.Marking helps you remember what you read.

F.But other books require a bit more work on your part.

G.You can do the same thing when you are reading the text!

答案与解析

【语篇解读】本文为说明文。文章就如何记忆读过的文章给出了几个小诀窍。

1.D　空后表示“你或许刚刚读完文章,但大意、概念和形象可能从你的大脑中丢失”。刚刚读完文章,就会忘记,因此记忆有时就是件很“麻烦的(tricky)”事。

2.A　空格处单独一行,且与下面的标题句并列,由此推断,该句应为概括性语句,再结合下文的“confusing”和“don’tunderstandwhatyou’rereading”可知,本段是对产生的“困惑”给出小诀窍,故A项“你困惑吗?”为最佳选项。

3.F　根据空格前面内容可知,读书需要联想,对于有些书,你或许马上能建立联想。前面有somebooks,后面可能有other之类的与之对应的词,而F项“Butotherbooksrequireabitmoreworkonyourpart.”满足这个条件。

4.G　空格位于段末,根据文章的写作思路推测,此处应是段落总结性的句子,再分析空格前的内容可知,本段给出的方法是全身心投入到所读内容中去,所以G项“你读书时也可以这样做!”符合语境。

5.B　空格前一句“如果经常阅读,你可能会更容易记住你正在读的内容(和读过的内容)”,空格后一句“当阅读成为你日常生活的一部分,你就会建立更多的联系,更加专注,同时更好地理解文章”,通过frequently,regular等词汇推知,要多阅读,才能记住文章。此处B项“熟能生巧”符合语境。

Ⅶ.完形填空

The first day at school has left a deep　1　 on me.I’ll never forget it. 

As soon as I rushed into the classroom,the bell rang.A young beautiful woman came in,but she was 　2　,no smile on her face.“You are not permitted to 　3　 me in the course of class unless...” She was speaking when I heard a 　4　“Lily,Lily” from outside the door.My grandmother was standing there with a pair of socks in her hand.I didn’t realise I was bare feet until then.I wanted to 　5　 them,but I dare not do that.I shook my head,　6　“Don’t wait here any longer.Leave quickly.” As I did so,I still 　7　 my eyes on my teacher.I really didn’t want her to take 　8　 of me,but she did.She went out to get the socks.When she gave them to me,she looked at me for a while.My face suddenly turned red and my heart 　9　 faster.I began to put the socks on.Unfortunately I was so nervous that my 　10　 hands couldn’t get them onto my feet easily.Just then I heard my name called.I rose from my seat quickly.“Can you 　11　 the numbers from one to one hundred?” the teacher asked.I nodded.To her surprise,I did very well.Finally she said,“Be 　12　,please.Study hard.” I looked up at her to find a smile on her face.I felt 　13　 at last. 

The first day at school has stayed in my　14　 as something embarrassing but 　15　.

Ladies and gentlemen, 

Good morning!I’m Li Hua.I feel it an honour to give a speech here about“What I Want to Learn in Senior School?”.Actually,what I want to learn most is as follows. 

To begin with,I am supposed to have good learning ways and habits to make certain that I will learn well.Clearly,successful study is based on good ways and habits.Besides,a class is like a family where I should get along well with others.But how can I?As we know,only if we are sincere and kind to others can we have good relationships with them.Finally,I will learn to develop good qualities like being determined,being optimistic and so on.Of course,don’t forget to set a dream and make all efforts to realise it.It is our determination that helps us to challenge difficulties and it is a dream that leads us forward.

I believe I will live my life to the fullest in senior school.

Thanks for listening. 

Ⅸ.概要写作

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的概要。

Look inside any family home in the evening,and you might see a typical enough scene:Mum and Dad,each on their own laptops or tablets,streaming movies,catching up on work or maybe answering emails on their smartphones.Meanwhile,one child is chatting online with one school friend while texting another.The other is playing a video game with a friend on the other side of the city at the same time.Each member of the family is totally absorbed in his or her own piece of technology.

According to some experts,the effect of technology on human relationships is worrying as technology becomes a substitute for face-to-face human relationships.It appears to be the case that many people would rather spend time with their electronic gadgets(电子产品) than with one another.Young people say it is difficult to get their parents’ attention and they have to compete with smartphones,tablets and other technology.

However,a report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project offers a more helpful and encouraging view,suggesting that far from replacing human contact,technology can actually better family relationships.Just over half of the 2,253 people surveyed agreed that technology had enabled them to increase their contact with distant family members and 47 percent said it had improved the communication with the people they lived with.Moreover,even the closest members of families need time away from each other at some point to seek their own interests.Family members who might otherwise have sat in separate rooms can now be in the same one while still occupying a different mental space.

Look back at our typical family scene above.Is it any different from four people reading their own books?Or is it driving families apart?Where technology will lead us remains to be seen.Yet there is no need to worry.As a matter of fact,how it affects our family relationships depends on our attitude toward technology.

参考范文

Nowadays family members are often found lost in their own electronic products.(要点1) Some experts fear that technology can affect family relationships for lack of face-to-face communication.(要点2) However,a report has found technology benefits family bonds in that it makes members closer and provides private mental space as well.(要点3) Actually,not technology itself but people’s attitude towards it influences family relations.(要点4)
