23．Parents with a seven­year­old child driving to pay a whole­day visit to the museum should pay at least .
A．$38 B．$40 C．$54 D．$52
答案　D
解析　数字计算题。根据Admission下的“Adult：$14”，“Child(3－12)：$10”和Parking下的“At most $14 per day(until 4：30 am)”可知，14×2＋10＋14＝52。故选D。

A 12­year­old girl who had a feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right.
After raising the idea with her parents and pestering(纠缠) them for the best part of a year，Lydia took the test in her summer holidays.It turns out the test wasn’t that hard after all.
“I was really nervous before the test and I thought it was going to be really hard.But as I started the test，I thought it was a bit easier than I thought it was going to be，” she said.
Lydia Sebastian achieved the top score of 162 on Mensa’s Cattell Ⅲ B paper，showing she has a higher IQ than well­known geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.The comparison doesn’t sit well with the British student，who’s currently in Year 8 at a selective girl’s grammar school in Essex，England.
“I don’t think I can be compared to such great intellectuals as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.They’ve achieved so much.I don’t think it’s right，” Lydia told CNN.
To explain Lydia’s mark’s level，the top adult score in the Cattell Ⅲ B test，which mainly tests verbal(语言) reasoning，is 161.A top 2% score—which allows entry to Mensa，the club for those with high IQs—would be 148 or over.Lydia scored 162，placing her in the top 1% of the population.
Lydia’s not quite sure what she wants to do when she leaves school，although she’s leaning toward something “based around Maths，because it’s one of my favorite subjects.” “All I’m going to do is work as hard as I can，and see where that gets me，” she said.
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个只有12岁的小女孩的智商测试结果表明她的智商比爱因斯坦和霍金还要高，她并不清楚以后自己具体想要做什么，但她以后的计划倾向以数学为基础，因为数学是她最喜欢的学科之一。

24．Lydia wanted to have an IQ test because .
A．she felt that she might have a high IQ
B．the grammar school advised her to do so
C．all people around thought that she was smart
D．her parents strongly wanted her to do so
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A 12­year­old girl who had a feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test...”可知，莉蒂亚想做智商测试是因为她觉得自己的智商很高，故A项正确。
25．Which of the following can best explain the underlined words in the fourth paragraph?
A．Be satisfied with.
B．Be refused by.
C．Be related to.
D．Be accepted by.
答案　D
解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词前的内容可知，智商测试的分数表明莉蒂亚的智商比爱因斯坦和霍金还要高，这种比较与一个只有八年级的小女孩不太相符，由此可知画线词词义为“相符、被接受”，故D项正确。
26．What is Lydia’s plan about the future?
A．She is quite sure about what to do in the future.
B．She will drop out of the grammar school.
C．She has a tendency to focus around Maths.
D．She doesn’t have to work hard with her high IQ.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“...although she’s leaning toward something ‘based around Maths，because it’s one of my favorite subjects.’”可知，数学是莉蒂亚最喜欢的学科之一，她以后的计划倾向以数学为基础，故C项正确。
27．According to the text，which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Only adults with high IQs can enter Mensa.
B．Mensa is a club for those with high IQs at least 148.
C．No one has achieved a higher IQ than Lydia.
D．Whoever has a high IQ can enter Mensa.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“which allows entry to Mensa，the club for those with high IQs—would be 148 or over”可知Mensa是一个为智商在148或以上的人成立的俱乐部，故B项正确。
C
When a bee stings(蜇) you，it doesn’t just ruin your fun.The insect puts venom(毒液) into your skin，causing pain and swelling.But a chemist in Denmark believes he’s come up with a simple device that will draw the venom back out of the wound，bringing victims relief.

Martin Wenckens got the inspiration for the Bee­Patch(蜜蜂膏药) from a home treatment he saw shown on a Danish television program.After getting stung，a person would put a slight wet sugar cube over the wound.The idea is that through osmosis—the movement of a fluid from an area with a lower concentration of molecules(分子) to an area with a higher concentration—fluid moves from the small hole up into the sugar cube，carrying the venom along with it.
Because exposed sugar may attract more insects，Wenckens thought he could improve on the treatment.He put sugar inside a patch that can be worn like a bandage.The side touching the skin has a thin layer through which fluid can move.“After you get stung，place the patch on the injured skin and leave it for one hour，” Wenckens says.“This will lower both pain and swelling.” He cautions that people with insect allergies should continue to use medications recommended by their doctors.
Wenckens designed the Bee­Patch especially for children，but he reports that lifeguards and soccer players are also using it.“In many schools in Denmark，the Bee­Patch is already a part of first aid kits，” he says.“To have invented a small patch that can be used by so many people of course makes me very proud.”

28．Wenckens was inspired by .
A．his B．a TV program
C．a sugar producer D．his private doctor
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。由第二段开头的“...got the inspiration for the Bee­Patch(蜜蜂膏药) from a home treatment he saw shown on a Danish television program.”可知选B项。
29．What’s the advantage of the Bee­Patch over the original home treatment?
A．It is much safer.
B．It is more natural.
C．It is much cheaper.
D．It is more effective.
答案　A
解析　推理判断题。由第三段中的“Because exposed sugar may attract more insects，Wenckens thought he could improve...”可推断，改进后的发明将糖包起来，不易招惹更多的昆虫，因而比原来的更安全。故选A项。
30．The Bee­Patch created by Wenckens .
A．is not recommended to lifeguards
B．may not be helpful for some victims
C．will protect victims from bees for an hour
D．has an immediate effect on the injured skin
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“He cautions that people with insect allergies should continue to use medications recommended by their doctors.”可推断，对昆虫过敏的人被蜜蜂蜇伤后不应简单地使用这种方法治疗，而应采用医生推荐的方法。
31．The Bee­Patch is widely used .
A．by adults B．in hospitals
C．by students D．on football fields
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。由最后一段中的“In many schools in Denmark，the Bee­Patch is already a part of first aid kits...”可知，蜜蜂膏药被学生们广泛使用。
D
Do you have imagination? Do you like to solve problems? Can you think outside the box? If so，you could be the next great inventor.“But I’m just a kid，” you might say! Don’t worry about a little thing like age.For example，one famous inventor—Benjamin Franklin—got his start when he was only 12.At that young age，he created paddles for his hands to help him swim faster.Finally his creation led to what we know is called flippers!

So you don’t have to be an adult to be an inventor.One thing you do need，though，is something that kids have plenty of：curiosity and imagination.Kids are known for looking at things in new and unique ways.
So what should you do if you have what is a great idea for an invention? Talk to a friend or family member about it.Get input from others about your idea.Then ask them to help you create a working model—called a prototype(原型)—of your idea.
Once you have a prototype，you can test it.Sometimes your idea turns out to be not as great as you thought.At other times，though，you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you figure out how to make it even better.
If your idea is really a good one，an adult can help you contact companies that might be interested in it.You will also want an adult’s help to get a patent(专利权) for your idea，so that it is protected and can’t be stolen by someone else.If you need some inspiration，consider these kids and their inventions：
Jeanie Low invented the Kiddie Stool when she was just 11.It’s a folding stool that fits under the kitchen sink.Kids can unfold it and use it to reach the sink all by themselves.
At the age of 15，Louis Braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read.
Chelsea Lanmon received a patent when she was just 8 for the “pocket diaper”，a new type of diaper that includes a pocket for holding baby wipes and powder.
语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。孩子能成为发明家吗？答案是肯定的。作者列举了富兰克林、布莱叶等人的成功事例。

32．By saying “But I’m just a kid”，you probably mean you .
A．are too young to achieve anything
B．can do anything though you are young
C．are old enough to become an inventor
D．have to learn knowledge from other people
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Don’t worry about a little thing like age.”可知，你不用担心年龄这种小事情，也就是说年龄根本不是问题，所以你说自己太小，还不能取得任何成就的想法是不对的。由此可知A项正确。
33．Which of the following is the right order of an invention?
A．a patent—a prototype—a good idea—an invention
B．an invention—a good idea—a patent—a prototype
C．a good idea—a prototype—an invention—a patent
D．a prototype—a patent—a good idea—an invention
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。文章第三段中的“So what should you do if you have what is a great idea for an invention？”和“Then ask them to help you create a working model—called a prototype (原型)—of your idea.”表明发明顺序为a good idea→a prototype。再根据第五段的“You will also want an adult’s help to get a patent(专利权)...”可知，申请专利是发明的最后步骤。故C项正确。
34．Who invented something that helps the blind to read?
A．Jeanie Low.
B．Benjamin Franklin.
C．Chelsea Lanmon.
D．Louis Braille.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“...Louis Braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read.”可知答案。
35．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A．Kids Have Curiosity and Imagination
B．There Are Some World-famous Inventors
C．Kids Are Exactly Like Adults in a Way
D．It Is Possible for Kids to Be Inventors
答案　D
解析　标题归纳题。综观全文可知，文章通过举例说明了孩子一样可以成为发明家这一主题。故选D项。
第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago.People thought that there was a special danger from evil spirits，so friends and family came together to bring good thoughts and wishes and even presents. 36 But as time went by，children and then adults began to have their own birthday celebrations.There are some traditions—such as sending birthday cards，blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the “Happy Birthday” song，that you can find almost anywhere，any time. 37
In many English­speaking countries，a twenty­first birthday cake often has a key on top. 38 The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!
In the past in parts of Europe，men who reached the age of thirty and were still single，had to clean the stairs of the City Hall.This way every girl could see that the man didn’t have a girlfriend. 39
After the age of thirty，many people prefer to forget their birthdays rather than celebrate them...children often bring Mum (or Dad) breakfast in bed. 40 It’s also a day when your friends and family have to pay if you go out for drinks or a meal!
A．Birthday traditions are around the world.
B．At one time，only kings had birthday parties.
C．Or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key.
D．It’s traditional to give flowers and enjoy a special meal.
E．Family members put many sweets on the birthday cake.
F．They could also see how good he was at cleaning the house!
G．Others are more specific to certain ages and certain countries.

36．答案　B
解析　根据下一句“But as time went by，children and then adults began to have their own birthday celebrations.”可知，空格处和该句形成时间上的前后对比，故B项符合语境。
37．答案　G
解析　根据上一句“There are some traditions...that you can find almost anywhere，any time.”以及下文介绍的几个特别的生日习俗可知，G项在此承上启下。
38．答案　C
解析　根据上一句中的“a twenty­first birthday cake often has a key on top”和下一句中的“The key means that”可知，C项中的the shape of a key与之相呼应。
39．答案　F
解析　根据该段中的“had to clean the stairs of the City Hall”和“every girl could see...”可知，F项“她们也能借此看出这名男子很会打扫房子”符合此处语境。
40．答案　D
解析　根据上一句中的“many people prefer to forget their birthdays rather than celebrate them”和下一句中的“your friends and family have to pay if you go out for drinks or a meal”可知，30岁以后人们不再兴师动众庆祝生日，而是简单地度过。故D项“送花和吃顿饭”符合语境。
第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节　(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Fifteen years earlier，I was a single mom with two children，a 41 job and a long ．So I had to shop for groceries and plan for the next week on weekends. 42 ，I went shopping on Sunday.When I 43 to the cashier that the store was really quiet that day，she replied，“It’s always 44 on Mother’s Day.You must be the only 45 out there shopping.” I know she was 46 telling the truth and she did not mean to 47 me.Needless to say，all I could do was finish paying and get to my car.I hadn’t 48 realized it was Mother’s Day.My children were too young to know it.How 49 I really was!
I was excited to see my 50 soon.I decided to treat myself to an ice tea and 51 to the sandwich shop next door.It was 52 except for a mom and her son ahead of me. 53 this was a single mom，celebrating Mother’s Day with her son in the sandwich shop.When she finished 54 ，I handed the cashier a $20 bill and said，“This is my treat.Happy Mother’s Day！” The cashier and the woman were confused for a moment.
Wayne Dyer once talked about the power of kindness.He said studies showed that not only do the giver and receiver of an act of kindness 55 ，but an observer benefits in exactly the same way.

41．A. B．demanding
C．well­paid D．miserable
答案　B
解析　demanding意为“要求高的，费力的”。根据上下文可知，作者是位单亲母亲，且只能在周末才有空购买食品，为家人安排好下一周的伙食，可见非常辛苦。
42．A.As usual B．Seldom
C．Occasionally D．For once
答案　A
解析　从上一句的“on weekends”可知，作者通常(as usual)在周日去商店购物。
43．A.reported B．explained
C．commented D．suggested
答案　C
解析　comment意为“发表意见；评论”，此处是指作者在付款时和收银员闲聊。
44．A.classic B．crowded
C．special D．quiet
答案　D
解析　从上文的“the store was really quiet that day”可找到暗示。收银员说，通常在母亲节那天，商店总是非常安静(quiet)。
45．A.customer B．mother
C．parent D．driver
答案　B
解析　由于店里顾客很少，又是母亲节，所以收银员说作者是那天唯一前来购物的母亲(mother)。
46．A.simply B．deliberately
C．proudly D．politely
答案　A
解析　收银员只是(simply)在回答作者的问题，并非有意要伤害(hurt)作者。因为在母亲节那天，多数母亲都会和家人一起庆贺，而不会外出购物。
47．A.warn B．discourage
C．hurt D．remind
答案　C
解析　参见上题解析。
48．A.just B．still
C．ever D．even
答案　D
解析　从上文可知，作者甚至(even)没有意识到那天是母亲节，她是在听了收银员的话以后才意识到的。
49．A.defeated B．alone
C．stubborn D．warm­hearted
答案　B
解析　alone意为“孤单的；孤独的”。作者的孩子太小而不懂得母亲节的意义，也没有其他人给作者送来母亲节礼物，所以她感到非常孤单。
50．A.children B．husband
C．friends D．neighbors
答案　A
解析　作者外出购物，很想尽早回家见到孩子们(children)。
51．A.rode B．drove
C．walked D．escaped

语篇解读　众所周知，科学在我们的教育中充当着一个很重要的角色。文章向我们介绍了几个方便查询最新科技信息的网站。

56．答案　a
解析　考查冠词。play an important role in...为固定搭配，意为“在……中扮演重要角色(发挥重要作用)”，因为空后有发音以辅音音素开头的very，故填不定冠词a。
57．答案　with
解析　考查介词。句意为：你想跟上科技的最新研究和发现吗？keep up with为固定结构，意为“跟上，不落在……后面”。
58．答案　where
解析　考查定语从句的关系词。先行词为websites，空处在从句中作地点状语，所以用where，相当于on which。
59．答案 　covering
解析　考查非谓语动词。提示词为动词，该句中已经有谓语动词(report)，提示词cover和其所修饰的名词news之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，所以用cover的v.­ing形式作后置定语，在此相当于which covers。
60．答案 　suitable
解析　考查形容词。这里构成“find＋宾语＋形容词(宾补)”结构，所以用suit的形容词形式。
61．答案 　is called
解析　考查动词的时态和语态。“one that I check out every day”是主语Another wonderful site的同位语，且主语和call构成动宾关系，再结合全文的时态，确定此处用一般现在时的被动语态。
62．答案 　constantly
解析　考查副词。修饰动词updated，作状语，故用副词。
63．答案 　findings
解析　考查名词的数。finding为可数名词，其前无限定词修饰，且定语从句中谓语动词为“change”，为复数概念，所以应用复数形式。
64．答案 　posted
解析　考查动词的时态。这里指的是the past articles(以前的文章)，也就是说是以前发布的，所以用一般过去时。
65．答案 　is
解析　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。关系代词that指代的是先行词anything，并在从句中作主语，再结合全文的时态可知，应填is。

A Review of Robinson Crusoe
Robinson Crusoe is one of the most popular adventure novels by the English author Daniel Defoe，published in 1719.It is the story of Robinson Crusoe，an Englishman who is shipwrecked in a lonely tropical island.He builds himself a hut，grows his own food，and becomes self­sufficient.After 23 years he meets with a group of cannibals and rescues one of their prisoners，a young native whom he calls Friday.They become close friends，and when they are finally rescued four years later，both return to England.
Robinson Crusoe was partly based on the actual deeds of Alexander Selkirk，an 18th­century Scottish sailor who spent almost five years alone on a desert island.This novel is famous for its lovely details and its expression of belief in man’s ability when left alone in nature.
第二节　(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
I pulled the car into the garage and got out，just like every night for the past 16 years.The difference was that I wouldn’t have a job to take in the morning.I used to be a VP in technology for a national bank until it was closed.
I’d put my heart and soul into my job.Not only did I work long hours，but I was on call 24 hours a day，including weekends and holidays.My kids joked that，though they were the teenagers，I was the one who was glued to the cellphone and had to be told not to text at the dinner table.
My wife，Michelle，went back to work full­time once my job was threatened.But our kids would be going to college—our son，TJ，was a high school senior，and the girls，Sarah and Tara，were in ninth grade—and I wanted to give them the education and opportunities they deserved.God，if I can’t provide for my family，I asked，what good am I?
A ray of light streamed through the window，as if beckoning(召唤) me.I opened the door and stepped out into our yard.The lawn，the maple tree planted when I was young and the flower beds were overrun with weeds.They needed pruning(修剪)．
Treasure this time.The thought came out of nowhere.But clear，clear as it could be，I shook my head.I couldn’t get distracted by random thoughts.The clock was ticking.I needed to get busy finding a new job.
I went up to the house.“I’m sorry，Dad，” TJ said.“I know how much your job meant to you.”His concern was mirrored in the girls’ faces.Then Michelle added，“It’s going to be okay.We’ll get through this together.Maybe you should consider this time as a break.You deserve one.”
A break？Was she kidding？There was no time to rest.If anything，I needed to work even harder.
Paragraph 1：
The next morning I got up before everyone else and opened my laptop.



Paragraph 2：
Just a few hours here and there，the new lawn began to take shape and so did I．

The next morning I got up before everyone else and opened my laptop.To find a new job，I searched job sites，and companies with big technical departments，and e­mailed friends with connections.Then Michelle and the kids were up；the house was bustling.However，by midmorning the quiet of the house was driving me crazy.I walked to our yard to clear my head.My gaze fell on those overgrown flower beds.At least that was a problem I could do something about.Then I settled into a new routine.I still applied for jobs，but I took a break to do things I’d neglected.
Just a few hours here and there，the new lawn began to take shape and so did I．With the physical labor，the extra weight and concern dropped off，and I felt healthier.Maybe God had answered a prayer I hadn’t even said.He gave me this time to treasure，to be the husband and father my family needed.And I also had the chance to find a healthy balance between work and home—a balance that even after I land a new position with a great company，I will be sure to keep.
