1.
When mothers I know talk about their gifted kids, I will have a lot of conflicting emotions. I get it that the moms are proud, and surely, I don't mind hearing about the kids' other amazing achievements. It's the gifted thing that gets me.
I would probably feel differently if my daughter Violet was some great prodigy. Maybe I would be out there bragging (吹嘘) with some mothers if she was reading on an eighth grade level instead of struggling through "I'll Teach My Dog a Lot of Words". Like every other parent, I had dreams of Violet being some kind of combination of Lincoln and Mozart. But in schoolwork at least, Violet seems solidly normal, ahead of some in her class, behind when compared to others.
But why do I care? Normal is a good thing! Normal is great! As it is, what I'd like to brag about seems like a thing people never care about. My Violet is a really great little girl. She's a little hothead, with a temper, but she also cares about other people's feelings. When friends of hers are sick, she wants to make them little cards and pictures to help them feel well. A new little girl came to her classroom last week, and Violet noticed she was feeling lonely and scared, so she asked the new girl to play at break.
But no one brags how nice their kid is. Too bad. That's the kind of thing I'd like to hear. I don't think I'd mind listening to lots of stories of kindness. "Oh yeah? Well, my kid took his plate to the sink without asking!" "Yeah? My kid lined up his shoes in rows in his closet and then sat on my lap and told me I was pretty!" Listening to those kinds of stories makes me feel cheery. They make me feel like the world is a good place, full of people who care for each other. Unlike those about kids who are trying to be the best.
（1）Hearing other moms bragging about their gifted kids, the author feels______.
A.calm
B.proud
C.uncomfortable

（2）What does the underlined word "prodigy" in Paragraph 2 mean?

Teenagers' fitness (健康) is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientists Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: "First, you need to find out your present level (水平) of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier."
Dr. Lopez suggests that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. "Overweight" means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem. "Inactive" means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. "Active" refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.
According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy. "Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twentyminute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories." Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching (伸展) exercises, such as pushups and situps, starting with twenty each day. "Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger," said Dr. Lopez. The same principle applies to (适用于) active teenagers.
Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. "These are really important in order to prevent injuries，" Dr. Lopez said. Some weighttraining and other bodystrengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person's strength.
（1）What can we learn from the passage?
A.Active people always have a high fitness level.
B.Overweight people always take more exercise.
C.Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweight.
D.Keeping fit means changing teenagers' lifestyle.
（2）Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why physical exercise is important?
A.It can make the teenagers grow taller.
B.It can help teenagers become healthier.
C.It can help to burn up calories.
D.It can increase teenagers' strength.
（3）In order to prevent injuries, you should do some ________ exercises.
A.walking
B.stretching and bending
C.riding
D.weighttraining
（4）What is the best title for the passage?
A.Doing exercises
B.Teenagers' Fitness
C.Different lifestyles
D.Overweight Teenagers

Being physically fit at age 18 is linked to a higher IQ, a new study finds. The researchers also show that fitness predicts greater educational and professional achievements later in life. Earlier studies have found links between physical fitness and intelligence(智力)in animals, children and older adults. But the relationship in young adults hasn't been clear.
In the new study, researchers used data(数据)to examine over 1.2 million young men born in Sweden between 1950 and 1976. All the men had their physical fitness and intelligence assessed(评估) at age 18. The researchers compared this information to details of later achievements in academic(学术), social and economic aspects from other national databases and made some findings.
Fitness in the 18-year-olds was strongly linked to scores on intelligence tests. "Being fit means that you have good heart and lung capacity and that your brain gets plenty of oxygen, '' says Dr. Michael Nilsson of the University of Gothenburg. "This may be one of the reasons why we can see a clear link with fitness." The researchers also found that fit teens were more likely to get a university degree later in life. Fitness at age 18 was also linked to landing better jobs, with higher pay or management responsibilities.
The findings point to the importance of encouraging physical fitness in teens. "If so, physical education is a subject that has an important place in schools," says Dr. Maria Aberg of the University of Gothernburg.
（1）.What is the new study about?
A. The relationship among young adults.
B. IQ differences between children and adults.
C. Educational and professional achievements.
D. Teenagers' physical health and intelligence.
（2）.How did the researchers make the findings?
A. By comparing data. B. By listing some examples.
C. By giving intelligence tests. D. By interviewing young men.
（3）.What do the findings of the research suggest?
A. Similar researches should be made.
B. Jobs with higher pay are hard to get.
C. It's time to improve teenagers' intelligence.
D. Physical education should be stressed in schools.

No one has a temper naturally so good, that it does not need attention and cultivation, and no one has a temper so bad, but that, by proper culture, it may become pleasant. One of the best disciplined tempers ever seen, was that of a gentleman who was naturally quick, irritable, rash, and violent; but, by taking care of the sick, and especially of mentally deranged(疯狂的) people, he so completely mastered himself that he was never known to be thrown off his guard.
There is no misery so constant, so upsetting, and so intolerable to others, as that of having a character which is your master. There are corners at every turn in life, against which we may run, and at which we may break out in impatience, if we choose.
Look at Roger Sherman, who rose from a humble occupation to a seat in the first Congress of the United States, and whose judgment was received with great respect by that body of distinguished men. He made himself master of his temper and cultivated it as a great business in life. There are one or two instances which show this part of his character in a light that is beautiful.
One day, after having received his highest honors, he was sitting and reading in his sitting room. A student, in a room close by, held a lookingglass in such a position as to pour the reflected rays of the sun directly in Mr. Sherman's face. He moved his chair, and the thing was repeated. A third time the chair was moved, but the lookingglass still reflected the sun in his eyes. He laid aside his book, went to the window, and many witnesses of the rude behavior expected to see the ungentlemanly student severely punished. He raised the window gently, and then—shut the window blind!
I can not help providing another instance of the power he had acquired over himself. He was naturally possessed of strong passions, but over these he at length obtained an extraordinary control. He became habitually calm and selfpossessed. Mr Sherman was one of those men who are not ashamed to maintain the forms of religion in their families. One morning he called them all together as usual to lead them in prayer to God. The "old family Bible" was brought out and laid on the table.
Mr Sherman took his seat and placed beside him one of his children, a child of his old age. The rest of the family were seated around the room, several of whom were now grownups. Besides these, some of the tutors of the college were boarders in the family and were present at the time. His aged mother occupied a corner of the room, opposite the place where the distinguished Judge sat.
At length, he opened the Bible and began to read. The child who was seated beside him made some little disturbance, upon which Mr Sherman paused and told it to be still. Again he continued but again he had to pause to scold the little offender, whose playful character would scarcely permit it to be still. At this time he gently tapped its ear. The blow, if blow it might be called, caught the attention of his aged mother, who now with some effort rose from the seat and tottered across the room. At length, she reached the chair of Mr Sherman, and in a moment, most unexpectedly to him, she gave him a blow on the ear with all the force she could gather. "There," said she, "you strike your child, and I will strike mine."
For a moment, the blood was seen mounting to the face of Mr Sherman. But it was only for a moment and all was calm and mild as usual. He paused; he raised his glasses; he cast his eye upon his mother; again it fell upon the book from which he had been reading. Not a word escaped him; but again he calmly pursued the service, and soon sought in prayer an ability to set an example before his household which should be worthy of their imitation. Such a victory was worth more than the proudest one ever achieved on the field of battle.
（1）The following sentence should be put at the beginning of Paragraph ________.
The difference in the happiness which is received by the man who governs his temper and that by the man who does not is dramatic（戏剧性的，巨大的）.
A.Two B.Three C.Four D.Five

A.Grateful. B.Skeptical. C.Tolerant. D.Sympathetic.
（3）What can we learn about Roger Sherman?
A.He came from a distinguished family background.
B.He was not good at displaying his true inner feelings.
C.He severely punished a student who didn't behave himself.
D.He was a man conscious of the consequences of his behavior.
（4）What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A.Mr Sherman's face was covered with blood.
B.Mr Sherman was seeking strength in prayer.
C.Mr Sherman was then on the point of exploding.
D.Mr Sherman was ashamed of his mother's rude behavior.

六、语法填空
【答案】 where；To earn；was offered；tired；respectable；success；it；what；adapting；did
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者毕业后在纽约寻找工作遭遇挫折，后重返家乡小镇的过程。
（1）句意：所以我决定离开家去纽约，在那里我可能有更好的机会找到一份好工作。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词New York, 关系词代替它在从句中充当地点状语，应用关系副词where，意为“在那里”。故填where。
（2）句意：为了挣一些钱来支付日常开销，我开始在当地的一家咖啡馆里当服务员。本句已有谓语动词 started，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语，结合句意可知，此处应用动词不定式作目的状语，句首单词首字母需大写。故填To earn。
（3）句意： 我相信，一旦我得到一个好的职位，我就会立即辞职。此处为时间状语从句的谓语动词，主语I和offer之间是被动关系，应用被动语态；believed提示用一般过去时，主语是第一人称单数I，所以be动词需用was。故填was offered。
（4）考查形容词。句意：随着时间的推移，高昂的生活成本成了我已疲惫的肩膀上的负担。分析句子结构可知，空处需用形容词修饰名词shoulders，结合句意“感到疲惫的”，需形容词tired。故填tired。（5）句意：另一方面，我寻找一份体面的工作没有取得多少成功。空处需用形容词作定语修饰名词job，此处指体面的工作，需用形容词respectable“体面的”作定语。故填respectable。
（6）much后需接不可数名词, succeed的名词为success“成功”，抽象概念，不可数。故填success。
（7）句意： 因为我大学学习文学，我发现很难在大公司找到一份合适的工作。此处为find it + adj + to do结构，it为形式宾语，后面的不定式为真正的主语。故填it。
（8）句意：也许我母亲告诉我的话深深扎根在我的脑海里。设空处引导主语从句，从句缺少宾语，意为“所……的事”，应用连接代词what。故填what。
（9）句意：显然，我很难适应城市的生活，更不用说找一份合适的工作了。have difficulty (in) doing sth.固定短语，“做某事有困难”此处需用动名词作宾语。故填adapting。
（10）句意：直到我回来，我才意识到宁静的城市生活最适合我。not until+状语，置于句首，主句谓语动词需用部分倒装，即助动词/情态动词/be动词需提至主语前，根据returned可知，空处需用助动词did构成部分倒装。故填did。
【点评】考查语法填空，本题考点涉及定语从句，非谓语动词，时态语态，形容词，名词，代词，主语从句，倒装等多个知识点的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。
七、改错【答案】 ①a →the ②have →had ③water后添加to ④去掉which ⑤after →until⑥have →having ⑦he →I ⑧tried →tiring ⑨subject →subjects ⑩terribly →terrible
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者周日一天的 经历。
①考查冠词。句意：早上，我吃了一顿干巴巴的早餐。in the morning固定短语，“早上”故a改为the。
②考查时态。根据上文“I had a dry breakfast”可知应用一般过去时。故have改为had。
③考查非谓语动词。句意：我们没有水喝，因为停水了。此处修饰名词water，应用不定式作定语。have no water to drink“没有水喝”。故water后添加to。
④考查简单句。此处The water came back为简单句，中间不需要which。故去掉which。
⑤考查连词。句意：我一直到中午才停下来。not...until固定短语，“直到……才”，故after改为until。
⑥考查非谓语动词。after为介词，后跟动名词作宾语。故have改为having。
⑦考查代词。句意：然后我去上星期天的英语课。结合全文用的是第一人称，此处指“我”去上课应用I。故he改为I。
⑧考查形容词。此处修饰名词class应用-ing结尾形容词tiring，表示“累人的”，tried用于修饰人。故tried改为tiring。
⑨考查名词。subject为可数名词，由all修饰应用复数形式。故subject改为subjects。
⑩考查形容词。根据上文That's可知此处应用形容词terrible作表语。故terribly改为terrible。
【点评】本题考点涉及冠词，时态，非谓语动词，连词，代词，形容词以及名词等多个知识点的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，覆盖面广，综合性强，难度较大，区分度高。

1.
When mothers I know talk about their gifted kids, I will have a lot of conflicting emotions. I get it that the moms are proud, and surely, I don't mind hearing about the kids' other amazing achievements. It's the gifted thing that gets me.
I would probably feel differently if my daughter Violet was some great prodigy. Maybe I would be out there bragging (吹嘘) with some mothers if she was reading on an eighth grade level instead of struggling through "I'll Teach My Dog a Lot of Words". Like every other parent, I had dreams of Violet being some kind of combination of Lincoln and Mozart. But in schoolwork at least, Violet seems solidly normal, ahead of some in her class, behind when compared to others.
But why do I care? Normal is a good thing! Normal is great! As it is, what I'd like to brag about seems like a thing people never care about. My Violet is a really great little girl. She's a little hothead, with a temper, but she also cares about other people's feelings. When friends of hers are sick, she wants to make them little cards and pictures to help them feel well. A new little girl came to her classroom last week, and Violet noticed she was feeling lonely and scared, so she asked the new girl to play at break.
But no one brags how nice their kid is. Too bad. That's the kind of thing I'd like to hear. I don't think I'd mind listening to lots of stories of kindness. "Oh yeah? Well, my kid took his plate to the sink without asking!" "Yeah? My kid lined up his shoes in rows in his closet and then sat on my lap and told me I was pretty!" Listening to those kinds of stories makes me feel cheery. They make me feel like the world is a good place, full of people who care for each other. Unlike those about kids who are trying to be the best.
（1）Hearing other moms bragging about their gifted kids, the author feels______.
A.calm
B.proud
C.uncomfortable

（2）What does the underlined word "prodigy" in Paragraph 2 mean?

2.阅读理解
Teenagers' fitness (健康) is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientists Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: "First, you need to find out your present level (水平) of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier."
Dr. Lopez suggests that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. "Overweight" means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem. "Inactive" means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. "Active" refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.
According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy. "Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twentyminute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories." Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching (伸展) exercises, such as pushups and situps, starting with twenty each day. "Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger," said Dr. Lopez. The same principle applies to (适用于) active teenagers.
Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. "These are really important in order to prevent injuries，" Dr. Lopez said. Some weighttraining and other bodystrengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person's strength.
（1）What can we learn from the passage?
A.Active people always have a high fitness level.
B.Overweight people always take more exercise.
C.Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweight.
D.Keeping fit means changing teenagers' lifestyle.
（2）Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why physical exercise is important?
A.It can make the teenagers grow taller.
B.It can help teenagers become healthier.
C.It can help to burn up calories.
D.It can increase teenagers' strength.
（3）In order to prevent injuries, you should do some ________ exercises.

D.weighttraining
（4）What is the best title for the passage?

Being physically fit at age 18 is linked to a higher IQ, a new study finds. The researchers also show that fitness predicts greater educational and professional achievements later in life. Earlier studies have found links between physical fitness and intelligence(智力)in animals, children and older adults. But the relationship in young adults hasn't been clear.
In the new study, researchers used data(数据)to examine over 1.2 million young men born in Sweden between 1950 and 1976. All the men had their physical fitness and intelligence assessed(评估) at age 18. The researchers compared this information to details of later achievements in academic(学术), social and economic aspects from other national databases and made some findings.
Fitness in the 18-year-olds was strongly linked to scores on intelligence tests. "Being fit means that you have good heart and lung capacity and that your brain gets plenty of oxygen, '' says Dr. Michael Nilsson of the University of Gothenburg. "This may be one of the reasons why we can see a clear link with fitness." The researchers also found that fit teens were more likely to get a university degree later in life. Fitness at age 18 was also linked to landing better jobs, with higher pay or management responsibilities.
The findings point to the importance of encouraging physical fitness in teens. "If so, physical education is a subject that has an important place in schools," says Dr. Maria Aberg of the University of Gothernburg.
（1）.What is the new study about?
A. The relationship among young adults.

No one has a temper naturally so good, that it does not need attention and cultivation, and no one has a temper so bad, but that, by proper culture, it may become pleasant. One of the best disciplined tempers ever seen, was that of a gentleman who was naturally quick, irritable, rash, and violent; but, by taking care of the sick, and especially of mentally deranged(疯狂的) people, he so completely mastered himself that he was never known to be thrown off his guard.
There is no misery so constant, so upsetting, and so intolerable to others, as that of having a character which is your master. There are corners at every turn in life, against which we may run, and at which we may break out in impatience, if we choose.
Look at Roger Sherman, who rose from a humble occupation to a seat in the first Congress of the United States, and whose judgment was received with great respect by that body of distinguished men. He made himself master of his temper and cultivated it as a great business in life. There are one or two instances which show this part of his character in a light that is beautiful.
One day, after having received his highest honors, he was sitting and reading in his sitting room. A student, in a room close by, held a lookingglass in such a position as to pour the reflected rays of the sun directly in Mr. Sherman's face. He moved his chair, and the thing was repeated. A third time the chair was moved, but the lookingglass still reflected the sun in his eyes. He laid aside his book, went to the window, and many witnesses of the rude behavior expected to see the ungentlemanly student severely punished. He raised the window gently, and then—shut the window blind!
I can not help providing another instance of the power he had acquired over himself. He was naturally possessed of strong passions, but over these he at length obtained an extraordinary control. He became habitually calm and selfpossessed. Mr Sherman was one of those men who are not ashamed to maintain the forms of religion in their families. One morning he called them all together as usual to lead them in prayer to God. The "old family Bible" was brought out and laid on the table.
Mr Sherman took his seat and placed beside him one of his children, a child of his old age. The rest of the family were seated around the room, several of whom were now grownups. Besides these, some of the tutors of the college were boarders in the family and were present at the time. His aged mother occupied a corner of the room, opposite the place where the distinguished Judge sat.
At length, he opened the Bible and began to read. The child who was seated beside him made some little disturbance, upon which Mr Sherman paused and told it to be still. Again he continued but again he had to pause to scold the little offender, whose playful character would scarcely permit it to be still. At this time he gently tapped its ear. The blow, if blow it might be called, caught the attention of his aged mother, who now with some effort rose from the seat and tottered across the room. At length, she reached the chair of Mr Sherman, and in a moment, most unexpectedly to him, she gave him a blow on the ear with all the force she could gather. "There," said she, "you strike your child, and I will strike mine."
For a moment, the blood was seen mounting to the face of Mr Sherman. But it was only for a moment and all was calm and mild as usual. He paused; he raised his glasses; he cast his eye upon his mother; again it fell upon the book from which he had been reading. Not a word escaped him; but again he calmly pursued the service, and soon sought in prayer an ability to set an example before his household which should be worthy of their imitation. Such a victory was worth more than the proudest one ever achieved on the field of battle.

六、语法填空
【答案】 where；To earn；was offered；tired；respectable；success；it；what；adapting；did
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者毕业后在纽约寻找工作遭遇挫折，后重返家乡小镇的过程。
（1）句意：所以我决定离开家去纽约，在那里我可能有更好的机会找到一份好工作。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词New York, 关系词代替它在从句中充当地点状语，应用关系副词where，意为“在那里”。故填where。
（2）句意：为了挣一些钱来支付日常开销，我开始在当地的一家咖啡馆里当服务员。本句已有谓语动词 started，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语，结合句意可知，此处应用动词不定式作目的状语，句首单词首字母需大写。故填To earn。
（3）句意： 我相信，一旦我得到一个好的职位，我就会立即辞职。此处为时间状语从句的谓语动词，主语I和offer之间是被动关系，应用被动语态；believed提示用一般过去时，主语是第一人称单数I，所以be动词需用was。故填was offered。
（4）考查形容词。句意：随着时间的推移，高昂的生活成本成了我已疲惫的肩膀上的负担。分析句子结构可知，空处需用形容词修饰名词shoulders，结合句意“感到疲惫的”，需形容词tired。故填tired。（5）句意：另一方面，我寻找一份体面的工作没有取得多少成功。空处需用形容词作定语修饰名词job，此处指体面的工作，需用形容词respectable“体面的”作定语。故填respectable。
（6）much后需接不可数名词, succeed的名词为success“成功”，抽象概念，不可数。故填success。
（7）句意： 因为我大学学习文学，我发现很难在大公司找到一份合适的工作。此处为find it + adj + to do结构，it为形式宾语，后面的不定式为真正的主语。故填it。
（8）句意：也许我母亲告诉我的话深深扎根在我的脑海里。设空处引导主语从句，从句缺少宾语，意为“所……的事”，应用连接代词what。故填what。
（9）句意：显然，我很难适应城市的生活，更不用说找一份合适的工作了。have difficulty (in) doing sth.固定短语，“做某事有困难”此处需用动名词作宾语。故填adapting。
（10）句意：直到我回来，我才意识到宁静的城市生活最适合我。not until+状语，置于句首，主句谓语动词需用部分倒装，即助动词/情态动词/be动词需提至主语前，根据returned可知，空处需用助动词did构成部分倒装。故填did。
【点评】考查语法填空，本题考点涉及定语从句，非谓语动词，时态语态，形容词，名词，代词，主语从句，倒装等多个知识点的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。
七、改错【答案】 ①a →the ②have →had ③water后添加to ④去掉which ⑤after →until⑥have →having ⑦he →I ⑧tried →tiring ⑨subject →subjects ⑩terribly →terrible
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者周日一天的 经历。
①考查冠词。句意：早上，我吃了一顿干巴巴的早餐。in the morning固定短语，“早上”故a改为the。
②考查时态。根据上文“I had a dry breakfast”可知应用一般过去时。故have改为had。
③考查非谓语动词。句意：我们没有水喝，因为停水了。此处修饰名词water，应用不定式作定语。have no water to drink“没有水喝”。故water后添加to。
④考查简单句。此处The water came back为简单句，中间不需要which。故去掉which。
⑤考查连词。句意：我一直到中午才停下来。not...until固定短语，“直到……才”，故after改为until。
⑥考查非谓语动词。after为介词，后跟动名词作宾语。故have改为having。
⑦考查代词。句意：然后我去上星期天的英语课。结合全文用的是第一人称，此处指“我”去上课应用I。故he改为I。
⑧考查形容词。此处修饰名词class应用-ing结尾形容词tiring，表示“累人的”，tried用于修饰人。故tried改为tiring。
⑨考查名词。subject为可数名词，由all修饰应用复数形式。故subject改为subjects。
⑩考查形容词。根据上文That's可知此处应用形容词terrible作表语。故terribly改为terrible。
【点评】本题考点涉及冠词，时态，非谓语动词，连词，代词，形容词以及名词等多个知识点的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，覆盖面广，综合性强，难度较大，区分度高。
