W: Not really. The reception is bad on some of the stations.
M: OK. I will have it checked out next week.

I was with my mom one day as we took a walk while window shopping. We both knew we wouldn’t be buying much.
I remember I was looking up at the people we passed as we walked. Ladies wore bright clothing. Men wore expensive suits. An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest. I was ashamed of my mother.
We were in a high-class neighborhood — I knew that. We lived in a small, overpriced apartment building at the edge of our country. Mom chose to move there because she knew the schools were good. I realized for the first time that we didn’t belong there.
I could see the heavy lines around mom’s eyes and mouth. She wore cheap clothes. Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet, and her hair was too grey for her age. My mom is nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment, she stood out because she was just common. I didn’t want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway. I felt embarrassed about being at her side.
We were standing in the middle of a high-end store, and mom was holding a sweater.
She said, “This will look good on you. Do you want it?”
It was much too expensive, but I almost thoughtlessly answered “yes”.
Then I took a closer look at the small, tired woman with a big smile and a sweater in her hands, happy to be giving me something so nice. My words died in my throat.
Her clothes were worn and old because she spent her money buying me new ones. She looked so tired because she was busy working to provide for me. She didn’t wear jewelry because she was content with spending what little money she had on me.
Suddenly, mom was beautiful and extraordinarily wonderful in my eyes.
I was no longer ashamed of her, but of myself.
“Do you want it?” mom repeated.
“No, thanks.”
24. Why did the author describe the passers-by while window shopping?
A. To stress her mother’s being ordinary. B. To express her curiosity about others.
C. To explain the present fashion trends. D. To show her envy toward rich people.
25. What most likely made the author feel uneasy?
A. The feeling of being awkward about her mom.
B. The feeling of not belonging in the neighborhood.

D. The feeling of being uncomfortable in high-end stores.
26. Why did the author’s words die in her throat?
A. She was too tired to talk. B. She didn’t want the sweater.
C. She was upset with her mom. D. She became aware of her mother’s love.
27. How would the author probably feel about her earlier attitude to her mom?
A. Pleased. B. Regretful.
C. Annoyed. D. Understanding
【24~27题答案】
【答案】24. A 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者和母亲在一个高档小区，在一次逛街时，因母亲的平凡让作者感到羞愧，而后发生的事情使作者意识到母亲一切都是为了孩子，原来都是对母亲的误解。作者感到不再为母亲感到羞耻，而是为自己感到羞耻。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Ladies wore bright clothing. Men wore expensive suits. An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest. I was ashamed of my mother. (女人穿着鲜艳的衣服。男人穿昂贵的西装。一种不安的感觉开始在我的心中扎根。我为我的母亲感到羞耻)”以及第四段中的“I could see the heavy lines around mom’s eyes and mouth. She wore cheap clothes. Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet, and her hair was too grey for her age.(我可以看到妈妈眼睛和嘴巴周围粗粗的线条。她穿着廉价的衣服。为了维持生计，她的眼睛因长时间工作而疲惫不堪，与她的年龄相比，她的头发太白了)”可知，作者通过描写逛街时遇到的路人，是为了要将母亲和穿着光鲜的人对比，从而强调母亲的普通和平凡。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“My mom is nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment, she stood out because she was just common. I didn’t want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway. I felt embarrassed about being at her side.(她没有什么特别的，在那一刻，她的与众不同凸显是因为她是如此平凡。我不想被人看到和她在一起，尽管周围也没有重要的人来看我。我觉得陪在她身边很尴尬)”可知，最有可能让作者感到不安的是作者由于母亲的普通而让自己感到尴尬的感觉。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第五段“Her clothes were worn and old because she spent her money buying me new ones. She looked so tired because she was busy working to provide for me. She didn’t wear jewelry because she was content with spending what little money she had on me.(她的衣服又旧又破，因为她花钱给我买了新的。她看起来很累，因为她忙着工作来养活我。她不戴首饰，也不抹香水，因为她满足于把自己仅有的一点钱花在我身上)”及倒数第四段“Suddenly, mom was beautiful and extraordinarily wonderful in my eyes.(突然间，妈妈在我眼里变得美丽非凡)”可知，作者的话哽住了，因为她突然意识到了母亲的爱。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I felt embarrassed about being at her side.(我觉得陪在她身边很尴尬)”， 倒数第四段“Suddenly, mom was beautiful and extraordinarily wonderful in my eyes.(突然间，妈妈在我眼里变得美丽非凡)”和倒数第三段“I was no longer ashamed of her, but of myself.(我不再以她为耻，而是以我自己为耻)”可知，作者早期对母亲的态度很恶劣，突然间意识到了母亲的爱，从而对自己先前的态度而羞愧不已。由此可知，annoyed(恼怒的)符合题意。故选C。
C
There are 195 countries in the world today and actually none of them have purple on their national flags. Throughout history, purple was never used to represent a kingdom.
So what’s wrong with purple? It’s such a popular color today. The answer is really quite simple. Purple was just far too expensive.
The color purple has been related to royal power and wealth for centuries. Queen Elizabeth I didn’t allow anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purple’s unique position comes from the rarity and high cost of the dye used to produce it. The dye was from a small sea snail that was only found in the Tyre area of the Mediterranean. Over 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of Tyrian purple; not to mention lots of work went into producing the dye, which made purple dye so expensive even for some royal families. Third century Roman Emperor Aurelio famously wouldn’t allow his wife to buy a scarf made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold, which equals 56,000 dollars today. Therefore, even the richest countries couldn’t spend that much having purple on their flags.
In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin by accident created a man-made purple dye while attempting to produce an anti-malaria drug. He noticed that it could be used to dye cloth. He patented the dye and mass-produced it. Therefore everybody could afford it.
Till now, a handful of new national flags have been designed and a few of them have chosen to use purple.
28. Why was color purple expensive in the past?
A. Because only royal families were allowed to wear purple.
B. Because it took a long time to get purple dye from snails.
C. Because purple was worth as much as its weight in gold.
D. Because purple dye used to be uncommon and hard to produce.
29. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The anti-malaria drug. B. Snails.
C. The man-made purple dye. D. Tyrian purple.
30. What can we infer from the passage ?
A. A few new national flags have chosen to use purple.
B. William Henry Perkin got rich by producing the purple dye.
C. Royal families stop using purple because it’s not expensive.
D. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold.
31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. No Purple Flags? B. Purple vs. Gold
C. How to Produce Purple Dye? D. The Birth of Purple Color
【28~31题答案】
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了没有国家使用紫色来生产国旗的原因是紫色在过去很贵，因为紫色染料过去不常见而且很难生产，且介绍了人造紫色染料的发现。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Purple’s unique position comes from the rarity and high cost of the dye used to produce it.(紫色的独特之处在于它的稀有和昂贵的生产成本)”可知，紫色在过去很贵是因为紫色染料过去不常见而且很难生产。故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin by accident created a man-made purple dye while attempting to produce an anti-malaria drug.(1856年，18岁的英国化学家William Henry Perkin在试图生产一种抗疟疾药物时，偶然发明了一种人造紫色染料)”以及画线词后文“could be used to dye cloth”可知，英国化学家William Henry Perkin偶然发现了一种人造紫色染料，并且他注意到这种人造紫色染料可以用来染布。故it指的是“人造紫色染料”。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin by accident created a man-made purple dye while attempting to produce an anti-malaria drug. He noticed that it could be used to dye cloth. He patented the dye and mass-produced it.(1856年，18岁的英国化学家William Henry Perkin在试图生产一种抗疟疾药物时，偶然发明了一种人造紫色染料。他注意到它可以用来染布。 他为这种染料申请了专利并大量生产)”可推知，William Henry Perkin通过生产紫色染料致富。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“There are 195 countries in the world today and actually none of them have purple on their national flags. Throughout history, purple was never used to represent a kingdom.(现在世界上有195个国家，实际上没有一个国家的国旗是紫色的。纵观历史，紫色从未被用来代表一个王国)”结合文章主要说明了没有国家使用紫色来生产国旗的原因是紫色在过去很贵，因为紫色染料过去不常见而且很难生产，且介绍了人造紫色染料的发现。可知，A选项“没有紫色国旗？”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
Are you right-handed or left-handed? Have you ever wondered why?
With 10% of all humans being left-handed, lefties have been looked down upon as being unlucky. In the past, left-handers were thought to be strange, and left-handedness was thought to be caused by how anxious a pregnant (怀孕的) woman was during her pregnancy. However, we might now be closer to discovering the genetic reasons behind handedness.
We know that the human body is made up of cells, each of which contains a nucleus (细胞核). Inside the nucleus are thread-like structures called chromosomes (染色体) which can be stretched out to what is known as DNA. Sections of this DNA are referred to as genes — one section of DNA would show clearly your hair color and others, the shape of your nose!
The University of Oxford research team examined the genomes (基因组) of 400,000 volunteers in the UK Biobank, of whom 38,332 were left-handed. The team discovered four genetic regions, three of which had proteins (蛋白质) that play a key role in the formation of the physical structure of the cells.
By studying the brain scans of 9000 volunteers, researchers noticed that in people who were left-handed, the left and right halves of their brain that dealt with language worked in a much more intentionally matched manner. This led them to conclude that the genetic differences they had observed in left-handed people were responsible for differences in the white matter that connects language regions of the brain.
The team also found that the regions of left-handers’ brains that set them apart from right-handers gave them a slightly higher chance of getting some mental diseases, but a slightly lower chance of getting Parkinson’s disease. This study is the first to find a link between handedness, genes, and the language areas of the brains.
32. Why does the writer use two questions at the beginning?
A To show the importance of genes.
B. To invite the readers to answer them.
C. To draw the readers’ attention to the topic.
D. To test the readers’ knowledge about being left-handed.
33. What can we say about being left-handed?
A. It is caused by the anxious pregnant woman.
B. It has something to do with genes.
C. It means greater creativity.
D. It is regarded as being strange.
34. How did the researchers get their finding?
A. By asking volunteers questions.
B. By testing volunteers’ intelligence.
C. By examining genomes and studying brain scans.
D. By comparing the acts of people with different hands.
35. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Right-handers are better than left-handers.
B. Left-handers have a smaller chance of getting Parkinson’s disease.
C. Handedness is decided by the white matter of the brain.
D. There is a connection between handedness and genes.
【32~35题答案】
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对左撇子的研究，研究发现了用手习惯和基因之间的联系。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Are you right-handed or left-handed? Have you ever wondered why?(你是右撇子还是左撇子？你有没有想过为什么？)”及下文介绍可知，作者在开头用了两个问句是为了引起读者对主题的注意。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The University of Oxford research team examined the genomes (基因组) of 400,000 volunteers in the UK Biobank, of whom 38,332 were left-handed.
