第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 37.5 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The Firegathering
18-20May
The Fire gathering festival returns to an unidentified place somewhere in the Sussex countryside this May. The ticket price is a very agreeable 40, an amount that the organisers promise covers only the costs of staging the event. As well as the night-club singers and dancers and circus performers, you can expect live performances from local stars. If this looks like it might be right for you, you'd be well advised to book your ticket soon; the event has sold out every year since its beginning four years ago.
Sheep Music
20-22July
Sheep Music started life as a garden party and has developed into a full-scale(全面的)community event. Even though the advertising has always been limited to word of mouth, the huge number of people two years ago left organisers worried that the large crowds could ruin the festival's family feel. Luckily July sees the return of this brilliant party. The climax(高潮) comes in the shape of Saturday night's full- scale parade that you just would not expect to happen in the otherwise sleepy Welsh borders.
The Big Chill
3-5 August
Ten years on and The Big Chill could very well be close to becoming a big pop festival like Glastonbury. That said, the many thousands in attendance are still able to relax in the beautiful Eastnor deer park and listen to plenty of music that would otherwise pass them by. Families have always been given a warm welcome and it's fair to say that The Big Chill is probably the most child-friendly of all the medium-sized festivals. If you've never been, you should certainly go.
Summer Sundae
10-12August
Although only a year old this summer, Summer Sundae has quickly inspired the imaginations of Leicesteks music lovers. Last year's event was a success, noted by more than a few mentions at the UK Festival Awards. It is set in the impressive grounds of De Montfort Hall. Although the performers are still to be confirmed, the cabins(小屋) are sure to be there. These small buildings are made from wood and carpets, storage space, and can fit a family for the night.

B
A “watch” is the collective noun for nightingales. The term comes from the way nightingales sing from dawn until dusk and into the hours of darkness, keeping watch. It is one of the Britain's best loved but most endangered songbirds, which arrive in spring from West Africa, bringing with them a beautiful song that has inspired poets and musicians from many cultures that the birds have caused over the centuries.
The male nightingales start singing as soon as they return and continue into early June. Rested in the bushes, male nightingales remain unnoticed while their song passes into dark ness to enchant female nightingales and indirectly appeal to human listeners. This combination of performance, beauty, romantic love and night action creates a mythic power that makes nightingales unique among songbirds.
What does a nightingale sound like? Its tune may appeal to human senses but “song” feels like a shorthand description of what the nightingale actually does. The sound comes from the syrinx, an instrument similar to our throat but closer to the bird's heart and which produces an extraordinary range of high and low frequency notes. The nightingale's daytime song is beautiful enough, but as darkness falls and other birds fall quiet, “great jagged sticks of lyrical music are thrown into the summer night sky”, in the words of poet Simon Armitage and broadcaster Tim Dee in their book, A Poetry of Birds.
The song is also very loud. Ornithologist Tim Birkhead recalls being kept awake all night by a nearby nightingale. At 90 decibels, he could feel its song resonating in his chest. Computer recordings of birdsong can detect sounds of less than one tenth of a second. Human ears can't pick them out but female birds certainly respond to these “sexy-syllables”. Although we don't fully understand the nightingale song, it is one of the most celebrated bird songs in the world, and you can hear it in the UK for a brief period in spring-our guide to the best places to hear a nightingale sing this spring.
4.Why are nightingales called “watch”?
A.Because of the artists' love for them. B.Because of the way of their singing.
C.Because of the beauty of their songs. D.Because of the human desire for their arrival.
5.What does the underlined word “enchant” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Threaten. B.Enhance. C.Guard. D.Attract.
6.What does the author want to show by quoting from A Poetry of Birds?
A.Nightingales' songs stand out at night. B.Nightingales are very quiet at daytime.
C.Nightingales' songs are similar to humans’. D.Nightingales have the same senses as humans.
7.What will the author most probably talk about next?
A.Why nightingales are under threat. B.How to record nightingales' sound.
C.When nightingales return to Britain. D.Where to hear nightingales in Britain.
C
Amanda hated how history seemed to be all about war. Jose didn't like memorizing names and dates. Gerald was convinced that nothing that had happened in the past was relevant to his life. Caitlyn hated tricky true-false questions.
Armed with the feedback (反馈) my students had given me, I began hatching a plan. These kids were bright. They were motivated. My honors class deserved to be taught in a way that would speak to them.
We'd study social and economic history, not just battles and generals. We'd read novels to bring home the humanity of history. Tests would cover the facts, but also require higher level thinking skills. No tricky true-false questions.
At first, I was surprised by how many of my students used poor grammar and lacked writing skills. And some seemed to hesitate when reading out loud. But we worked on those skills repeatedly while we were learning history. The school year came to an end more quickly than I could have imagined. Most had earned A and B.No one had averaged lower than C.
Before summer break. Mrs. Anderson, the headmaster, called me into her office for my end-of-year evaluation. “I want to congratulate you on a great freshman season,” she said with a smile. “Especially on how well you did with your remedial (矫正) kids.”
“Remedial kids? I don’t understand.”
Mrs. Anderson looked at me in a strange way. “Your first period class was a remedial. Surely you saw that indicated at the top of the roll (名单),” She pulled a file folder from a drawer and handed it to me. I opened it. There at the top, was the word HONORS. I showed it to Mrs. Anderson.
“Oh. dear,” she said. “What a mistake! How did you ever manage, treating slow students as though they were...”
I couldn't help but finish the sentence for her. “As though they were bright? I think we've both learned a lesson from this, one they didn't teach in any of the education courses I took, but one I'll never forget.”
8.Why does the author mention several students at the beginning?
A.To introduce these bright students. B.To present the teaching problems.
C.To show the success of his plans. D.To praise the wisdom of his pupils.
9.What is the initial surprise to the author according to the passage?
A.Her honors class hesitated to improve skills. B.The headmaster gave her a wrong class roll.
C.Most of her class achieved high grades later. D.Her students were at lower language levels.
10.What is the author like according to the passage?
A.Easygoing and kind. B.Motivated and generous.
C.Patient and creative. D.Understanding and strict.
11.What lesson did the author learn from her experience?
A.Students should be taught according to their interest.
B.Traditional teaching methods might work effectively.
C.Students should be evaluated based on their scores.
D.Teachers should have confidence in their students.
D
With unfamiliar environments, a heavier workload (工作量), and social challenges, the change from primary school to high school is difficult.
When 800 new high schoolers graded their feelings of worry on a scale (量表) of one to ten, one quarter said seven or more, suggesting serious stress (压力). Disturbingly, these uneasy youth were the most likely to cut classes, start smoking or even get involved in (卷入) self-harm, according to McGill University researcher Dr. Nancy Heath, who has studied the students for three years.
Luckily, there’s a good cure for your high schooler’s worries — volunteering. Parents are already struggling with over-scheduled kids, but the mental-health benefits of this particular after-school activity are widely recognized. “There’s clear evidence (证据) that doing something for others can help people manage stress,” Heath says. The biggest benefit is making new friends. High school is a social minefield (雷区). Teens struggling to find new friends can feel lonely.
They need a back-up social scene outside the classroom, Heath suggests. “Volunteering and getting involved gives a sense of community and belonging.” Team sports and some hobbies are social, but they can’t match the other benefits of volunteering. Serving food in a soup kitchen or chatting with lonely old people forces a teenager to focus on the needs of others, instead of thinking about their own worries.
We’ve found that, among youth who volunteer through our service programs, 61 percent report feeling increased self-respect. They’re 1.3 times more likely to have a strong sense of self than their peers (同龄人), and are more comfortable adapting to (适应) changes, according to an independent study by research firm Mission Measurement.
This winter, encourage the new high school student in your house to find a cause they’re interested in and get involved. It won’t help them find their locker, but it will ease the stress.
12.What would anxious high schoolers probably do according to Heath?
A.Disturb their schoolmates. B.Damage the environment.
C.Stay away from school. D.Harm other students.
13.Why does the author encourage kids to volunteer?
A.It may reduce their mental pressure.
B.It may be good for their physical health.
C.It may help improve their learning skills.
D.It may free them from their busy schedules.
14.What can we learn about youth volunteers form Mission Measurement’s study?
A.They are glad to help their peers.
B.They begin to respect other people.
C.They are able to fit in with the new conditions.
D.They know more about their problems than peers.
15.For whom is the text mainly written?
A.Researchers. B.Teachers.
C.Students. D.Parents.

47.读后续写
School was over, the day was fading and it started to drizzle (毛毛雨). I stood at the school gate, with a loaded backpack on my shoulders. It was Friday again: a weekend of joy with unlimited sleeping hours and dinner courses specially made to my taste. A weekend at home. I waved goodbye to my friends as they jumped into their fathers’ warm and comfortable cars. Curiously, this gave rise to a disturbing feeling in me. It was not exactly what they called jealousy (嫉妒), but something like dismay (沮丧). I knew all I could expect was an old bike Mom would ride along on, with the badly-oiled chain creaking (嘎吱作响) against the wheel to announce her arrival.
Every Friday when Mom came to pick me up for the weekend, it was a moment full of great expectation and great unease. I always felt my face burning as we rode our way in and out of the numerous cars and saw my friends’ faces sticking out of the car windows. It was like stepping into a ballroom with beautifully dressed ladies and finding yourself in a smelly T-shirt.
To tell you the truth, Mom is quite a headache occasionally. She looks like a homely middle-aged housewife. Being a skilled person of DIY, she knits (编织) most of my sweaters, chiefly in old styles. Whenever caught by some curious classmates asking what brand my sweaters are, I’d force a smile and reply in a half-joking manner: homemade. She simply doesn’t seem to understand what’s in fashion; Chanel or Banana Republic doesn’t mean anything to her.
I couldn’t remember when I started to find her such an embarrassment. As a little boy, I relied on her so much. She had been working at home, cooking in the kitchen, knitting by the lamp, or riding across town to buy me a book I badly needed. It had always been fun riding with her. I had enjoyed watching our shadows growing longer and shorter in an alternate fashion by the light of the streetlamps along the road. Just now there seemed to be something standing between us, something that made her so strange to me and me to her.

参考答案
1.B 2.A 3.C
这是一篇应用文。短文介绍了四个节日的相关信息。
1.细节理解题。根据Sheep Music 中的“20-22July ”可知,Sheep Music举办的时间为7月20日至7月22日。所以你只在7月有空,可以选择参加Sheep Music。故选B项。
2.细节理解题。根据The Big Chill中的“That said, the many thousands in attendance are still able to relax in the beautiful Eastnor deer park and listen to plenty of music”(也就是说,数以千计的参观者仍然可以在美丽的东鹿公园里放松,聆听大量的音乐)。由此可知节日将在一个公园里举行。故选A项。
3.细节理解题。根据The Firegathering中的“As well as the night-club singers and dancers and circus performers, you can expect live performances from local stars.”(除了夜总会的歌手、舞者和马戏团演员,你还可以期待当地明星的现场表演)根据Sheep Music中的“Sheep Music started life as a garden party and has developed into a full-scale(全面的)community event”(绵羊音乐节起源于一个游园会,现已发展成为一个全面的社区活动)根据The Big Chill中的“That said, the many thousands in attendance are still able to relax in the beautiful Eastnor deer park and listen to plenty of music”(也就是说,数以千计的参观者仍然可以在美丽的东鹿公园里放松,聆听大量的音乐)根据Summer Sundae中的“Although only a year old this summer, Summer Sundae has quickly inspired the imaginations of Leicesteks music lovers.”(虽然Summer Sundae只举办过一次,但它已经迅速激发了莱斯特克斯音乐爱好者的想象力。)由此可知,这四个节日的共同之处是游客可以欣赏音乐。故选C项。
4.B 5.D 6.A 7.D
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了夜莺这种鸟类的一些习性和它们歌声的特点。
4.细节理解题。根据第一段中“A “watch” is the collective noun for nightingales. The term comes from the way nightingales sing from dawn until dusk and into the hours of darkness, keeping watch.(“守望”是夜莺的集体名词。这个词来自于夜莺从黎明到黄昏的歌唱方式,以及在黑暗中的守候)”可知,夜莺被称为“守望”是因为它们唱歌的方式。故选B。
5.词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Rested in the bushes, male nightingales remain unnoticed while their song passes into dark ness to”以及后文“female nightingales and indirectly appeal to human listeners”可知,雄性夜莺的歌声是为了吸引雌性夜莺,间接吸引人类听众。故划线词意思是“吸引”。A. Threaten.威胁;B. Enhance.增强;C. Guard.守卫;D. Attract.吸引。故选D。
6.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The nightingale's daytime song is beautiful enough, but as darkness falls and other birds fall quiet, “great jagged sticks of lyrical music are thrown into the summer night sky”, in the words of poet Simon Armitage and broadcaster Tim Dee in their book, A Poetry of Birds.(夜莺白天的歌声足够优美,但当夜幕降临,其他鸟儿安静下来时,诗人Simon Armitage和播音员Tim Dee在他们的《鸟之诗》一书中写道:“巨大的锯齿状抒情音乐被抛向夏季的夜空。”)”可推知,作者引用《鸟之诗》想要表达夜莺的歌声在晚上很突出。故选A。
7.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Although we don't fully understand the nightingale song, it is one of the most celebrated bird songs in the world, and you can hear it in the UK for a brief period in spring-our guide to the best places to hear a nightingale sing this spring.(尽管我们并不完全理解夜莺的歌声,但它是世界上最著名的鸟类之歌之一,你可以在英国的春天里短暂地听到它一段时间——我们的指南是今年春天听到夜莺歌唱的最佳地点)”可推知,接下来作者最有可能谈论在英国哪里可以听到夜莺。故选D。
8.B 9.D 10.C 11.D
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。因为一个错误,作者误把需要补课的学生当成了优等生,结果这些学生取得了非常出色的成绩,作者得到校长的赞扬时,才明白了这个错误,作者从中感悟深刻。
8.推理判断题。第一段“Amanda hated how history seemed to be all about war. Jose didn't like memorizing names and dates. Gerald was convinced that nothing that had happened in the past was relevant to his life. Caitlyn hated tricky true-false questions. (Amanda痛恨历史似乎都是关于战争的。Jose不喜欢记住名字和日期。Gerald确信过去发生的一切都与他的生活无关。Caitlyn讨厌狡猾的真假问题)”根据第二段“Armed with the feedback (反馈) my students had given me, I began hatching a plan. (带着学生们给我的反馈,我开始构思一个计划)”可知,学生反馈表明学生学习历史时是消极的,这是作者教学中需要解决的问题,所以,作者才构思计划想着改变。所以开头提到这么多学生是为了提出教学问题,故选B。
9.细节理解题。根据第四段中“At first, I was surprised by how many of my students used poor grammar and lacked writing skills. And some seemed to hesitate when reading out loud. (起初,我很惊讶我的学生中有这么多人语法不好,缺乏写作技巧。有些人在大声朗读时似乎有些犹豫)”可知,作者最初惊讶的是他的学生语法、写作以及朗读不好,也就是语言水平较低。故选D。
10.推理判断题。根据第三段中“We'd study social and economic history, not just battles and generals. We'd read novels to bring home the humanity of history. Tests would cover the facts, but also require higher level thinking skills. No tricky true-false questions. (我们要学习社会和经济史,而不仅仅是战争和将军。我们读小说是为了让人们了解历史的人性。测试将涵盖事实,但也需要更高水平的思维能力。没有棘手的真假问题)”可知,作者在教学过程中很有创造性,不是只照搬刻板的历史,还关注历史相关的很多方面,注重历史人性,测试也富有创造性。根据第四段中“At first, I was surprised by how many of my students used poor grammar and lacked writing skills. And some seemed to hesitate when reading out loud. But we worked on those skills repeatedly while we were learning history. (起初,我很惊讶我的学生中有这么多人语法不好,缺乏写作技巧。有些人在大声朗读时似乎有些犹豫。但我们在学习历史的过程中反复学习这些技能) ”可知,即便作者是教授历史的,但是当作者知道学生语言水平低,很耐心地帮助学生反复练习,所以作者是很有耐心的。综合可知,作者是一个有耐心而且富有创造性的人,故选C。
11.推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中““Your first period class was a remedial. Surely you saw that indicated at the top of the roll (名单),” She pulled a file folder from a drawer and handed it to me. I opened it. There at the top, was the word HONORS. (“你的第一节课是补课。你肯定看到了上面的指示。”她从抽屉里拿出一个文件夹递给我。我打开了。最上面写着优等班)”可知,作者误把补课班当成了优等班。根据第二段中“These kids were bright. They were motivated. (这些孩子很聪明。他们很有动力) ”以及第四段中“Most had earned A and B. No one had averaged lower than C. (大多数人都得了A和B。没有人平均得分低于C)”可知作者误把需要补课的学生当成优等生,认为他们很聪明,而且当学期结束时,这些学生的成绩非常出色,所以作者从这个事情明白了,即便学生原本成绩不理想,老师也要相信学生,他们也是可能会取得优异成绩的,故选D。

13.细节理解题。根据最后一段“This winter, encourage the new high school student in your house to find a cause they’re interested in and get involved. It won’t help them find their locker, but it will ease the stress.”可知,今年冬天,鼓励你家里的新高中生找到他们感兴趣的事业,并参与其中。虽然不能完全帮他们摆脱烦恼,但却能帮助缓解压力。由此可知,为什么作者鼓励孩子们去做志愿者是因为它可以减少他们的精神压力。故选A项。

本文为一篇说明文,介绍了著名画家毕加索的个人信息及绘画生涯中的几个重要阶段。
36.考查定语从句关系词。句意:人们普遍认为,巴勃罗·毕加索(生于1881年,卒于1973年)是20世纪西方最伟大的画家。分析句子可知,空处缺少关系代词引导非限制性定语从句,先行词Pablo Picasso作从句的主语,表示人,用who。故填who。
37.考查冠词。句意:他出生在西班牙,10岁时就已经是一名优秀的画家。artist(画家)是可数名词单数,此处要用不定冠词限定,excellent音标中第一个章节是元音音素/e/。故填an。
38.考查动词时态。句意:他在16岁时举行了他的第一次展览。根据at the age of 16可知,句子时态为一般过去时,动词用过去式。故填had。
39.考查介词。句意:毕加索曾在西班牙学习艺术,但在20岁出头时移居法国。in one’s twenties(在某人二十岁的时候)固定短语。故填in。
40.考查名词。句意:从1902年到1904年,他画了一系列以蓝色为主要颜色的画。picture(画)为可数名词,此处放在a series of后用名词复数。故填pictures。
41.考查动词时态和语态。句意:这些画描绘的是贫穷、不快乐的人们,这一时期被称为毕加索的“蓝色时期”。根据句意可知,this period与know构成逻辑上的被动关系,且“这一时期”在过去,用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was known。
42.考查形容词比较级。句意:从1904年到1906年,毕加索用粉红色画的画要快乐得多。根据much可知,空处用形容词happy的比较级作定语修饰pictures。故填happier。
43.考查非谓语动词。句意:后来,毕加索和另一位名叫乔治·布拉克的西班牙艺术家一起,发起了一场重要的新艺术运动——立体主义。空处作Spanish artist的定语,artist与name构成逻辑上的被动关系,用过去分词。故填:named。
44.考查名词。句意同上。分析句子可知,空处作movement的定语,用形容词。故填important。
45.考查非谓语动词。句意:人们一致认为,毕加索最伟大的立体派画作是《格尔尼卡》,画这幅画是为了表达他对20世纪30年代西班牙战争期间这座小镇所发生的事情的感受。根据句意可知,毕加索画Guernica的目的是为了表达他的感受,空处用不定式作目的状语。故填to show。
46.Dear Editor,
I’m writing to offer some suggestions on the theme campaign of “Green Campus”. The following is what I have worked out for saving energy, the purpose of which is to make our school a better place to study and live in.
As a top priority, it’s necessary for us to take effective measures to protect our campus from pollution and waste. For example, we can call on students to switch off taps and lights after using them to save water and electricity. Secondly, I really suggest building a botanical garden in the school, for not only can it make our campus more beautiful and lively, but also provide us with a close contact with nature so that we may be deeply aware of the importance of energy-saving and protection of environment.
I would appreciate it very much if you could take my advice into account and I would be proud if my advice can be of help to save energy and build a greener campus.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Ming

47.One possible version
Today she showed up in a raincoat. Once she saw me, Mom called my name excitedly. Almost everybody present looked in her direction.I swallowed hard and fixed my stare on the middle of the road, sweat forming in tiny droplets on my forehead. When she tried to cover me with the back of her raincoat, I simply threw it aside. In silence, I shot her a blaming glance and threw my backpack heavily into the front basket of the bike. Without a single word, I jumped onto the backseat.
Mom tried to cover me with the back of the raincoat again as a storm set in. Reluctantly, I pulled it over. With the wind roaring angrily and the raincoat dancing, it felt warm and secure inside. Mom bent forward and pedaled with all her strength, her waist twitching with tension. I started to feel guilty of my coldness, tears welling up in my eyes. Quietly, I slipped my hands around Mom’s waist and gently pressed my face against her back. In the crying wind and pouring rain, I found myself hugging my mother, tighter than ever.
