A
I had the meanest mther in the whle wrld. While ther kids ate candy fr breakfast, I had t have cereal, eggs r tast. When thers had ckes and candy fr lunch, I had t eat a sandwich. As yu can guess, my supper was different frm the ther kids' als. But at least, I wasn't alne in my sufferings. My sister and tw brthers had the same mean mther as I did.
My mther insisted upn knwing where we were at all times. Yu'd think we were n a chain gang. She had t knw wh ur friends were and where we were ging. She insisted if we said we'd be gne an hur, that we be gne ne hur r less — nt ne hur and ne minute.
We had t wear clean clthes and take a bath everyday. The ther kids always wre their clthes fr days. We reached the height f insults because she made ur clthes herself, just t save mney.
The wrst is yet t cme. We had t be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next mrning. We culdn't sleep till nn like ur friends. S while they slept --- my mther actually had the nerve t break the Child Labr Law. She made us wrk. We had t wash dishes, make beds, learn t ck and all srts f cruel things. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things t d t us.
Thrugh the years, things didn't imprve a bit. We culd nt lie in bed, "sick" like ur friends did, and miss schl. Our marks in schl had t be up t par. Our friends' reprt cards had beautiful clrs n them, black fr passing, red fr failing. My mther, being as different as she was, wuld settle fr nthing less than ugly black marks.
As the years rlled by, first ne and then the ther f us was put t shame. We were graduated frm high schl. With ur mther behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, nne f us was allwed the pleasure f being a drp-ut.
My mther was a cmplete failure as a mther. Out f fur children, a cuple f us attained sme higher educatin. Nne f us have ever been arrested r divrced. Each f my brthers served his time in the service f this cuntry. She frced us t grw up int Gd-fearing, educated, hnest adults. Using this as a backgrund, I am nw trying t raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children call me mean. Why? Because nw I thank Gd every day fr giving me the meanest mther in the whle wrld.
21. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. The authr is nt happy t have such a mean mther.
B. The authr's mther brke the Child Labr Law t make mney.
C. The authr's mther failed t educate her children t be hnest adults
D. The authr is strict with her children.
22. Why culdn’t the authr eat candy fr breakfast?
A. Because she preferred cereal, eggs r tast t candy.
B. Because her mther culdn’t affrd fr candy.
C. Because her mther thught it nt gd t eat candy fr breakfast.
D. Because her mther had t gave candy t the authr’s sister and tw brthers.
23. The authr’s mther made her children wrk because _________ .
A. she had truble falling int sleep

Hwever，its ppularity has just earned it anther hnur-being vted the mst annying and verused term f the past 12 mnths. But I’d like t ffer that maybe it isn’t s bad.
Accrding t the Oxfrd nline dictinary, selfie is a pht that ne takes f neself， ften frm a smart phne，and send them t a scial media website. Wmen and men alike decrate their Facebk and Twitter accunts with these pictures，smetimes with exaggerated facial expressins，such as large smiles r puckered lips(噘嘴).
Let’s think abut it. Smene takes abut 10 selfies each time they d，and they nly end up psting ne r tw f thse. They pick the ne that they feel makes them lk the best. Isn’t that beautiful? In that ne picture，smebdy has given himself r herself cnfidence. Self-image is vital. In tday’s sciety，we are s crazy abut being perfect. But perhaps，with that ne selfie，we feel as if we fit that need. We feel handsme，beautiful，cnfident，smart，happy，and cntent. Fr that mment，everything bad r terrible that has ever happened t us seemed t have been erased，fr that smile r that pucker is what gives us the determinatin t lve urselves.
A spken-wrd pem I saw lately set me thinking：If I ask yu what yu lve，the answers will mst likely rll f yur tngue. Yu lve t read. Yu lve t write. Yu lve birds，music…yur mm，yur brther，yur sister，yur daughter，yur best friend，yur dg. Hw lng d yu think yu culd g n and n befre yu said，“I lve myself.”?
The pem hit me like a tn f bricks. I’ve struggled with cnfidence all f my life. And I still d. And in n way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway t that cnfidence. Hwever，the selfie des deserve sme credit fr allwing individuals t express themselves. Just as Pamela Rutledge put it，“There are many mre phtgraphs available nw f real peple than mdels.”
24. Accrding t the writer, we live in a sciety where ________.

【名师点睛】
推理判断题属于高层次阅读理解题。做好该题型要从整体上把握语篇内容，在语篇的表面意义与隐含意义、已知信息与未知信息间架起桥梁，透过字里行间，去体会作者的“弦外之音”。推理判断题常常可以分为如下几类：（1）细节推断。如时间、地点、人物关系等；（2）逻辑推断。根据已知的结果推断导致结果产生的可能原因；（3）目的、意图、态度推断。根据文章的论述，推断作者的写作目的以及作者的情感态度；（4）预测想象推断。文章没有明确说明，要求根据语篇对文章可能涉及的内容进行预测判断。例如小题1。
此题属于推理判断题中的（2）逻辑推断。根据已知的结果推断导致结果产生的可能原因。答案需要从文章的Several recent studies have fund that being randmly (随机地) assigned t a rmmate f anther race can lead t increased tlerance but als t a greater likelihd (可能性)f cnflict.进行推断。
【答案定位】根据第一段Several recent studies have fund that being randmly (随机地) assigned t a rmmate f anther race can lead t increased tlerance but als t a greater likelihd (可能性)f cnflict.可知，让不同的种族的学生混合住在一起可能减少偏见增强容忍性，也可能让他们之间产生更多的冲突。

Recently a study，led by Pedr Hallal f the Federal University，suggests that nearly a third f adults，31%，are nt getting enugh exercise. That rates f exercise have declined is hardly a new discvery. Since the beginning f the industrial revlutin，technlgy and ecnmic grwth have helped t create a wrld in which taking exercise is mre and mre an ptin rather than a necessity. But nly recently have enugh gd data been cllected frm enugh places t carry ut the srt f analysis Dr. Hallal and his clleagues have engaged in.
There are cmmn themes in different places. Unsurprisingly，peple in rich cuntries are less active than thse in pr nes，and ld peple are less active than yung nes. Less bviusly，wmen tend t exercise less than men—34% are inactive，cmpared with 28% f men. But there are exceptins. The wmen f Cratia，Finland，Iraq and Luxemburg，fr example，mve mre than their male cuntrymen.
Malta wins the race fr mst slthful cuntry，with 72% f adults getting t little exercise，and Swaziland and Saudi Arabia are in clse behind，with 69%. In Bangladesh，just 5% f adults fail t exercise enugh. Surprisingly，six Americans in ten are active enugh accrding t Dr. Hallal’s study，cmpared with fewer than fur in ten British.
These high rates f inactivity are wrrying. Human beings seem t have evlved t benefit frm exercise while deliberately aviding it whenever they can. In a state f nature it wuld be impssible t live a life that did nt prvide enugh f it. But that is n lnger the case. Actually lack f enugh activity these days has nearly the same effect n life span as smking.
32. We may learn frm Paragraph 1 that ________.
A. the decline f exercise rates is newly discvered
B. the study suggests 31% f female adults get t little exercise
C. the industrial revlutin has changed the way peple live t sme degree
D. the gd enugh data has been cllected frm nly ne cuntry
33. Accrding t the study, wmen f Luxemburg ________.
A. have little time t exercise
B. hate t get regular exercise
C. take mre exercise t lse weight
D. exercise mre than men in their cuntry
34. The underlined wrd “slthful” in Paragraph 3 mst prbably means “________”．
A. lazyB. rich
C. pwerfulD. unppular
35. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Benefits f Taking Exercise
B. New Health Discvery
C. Evlvement f Human Beings

5. harms→ harm 6. cause→ causing 7. had→ had 8.删除the 9. r→ and
10. aviding→ avid
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是雨水对我们的重要性
【详解】1.考查形容词。句意：雨对我们来说非常重要。此处imprtance为名词，意为“重要性”，用形容词来修饰，故将greatly改成great。
2.考查被动语态。句意：我们的水供应将被切断。water supply和cut ff之间是被动关系，同时句子表示的是对现在的虚拟，故应该使用过去将来时态的被动语态，故在wuld后加be。
3.考查s的用法。句意：没有雨水，我们的水供应就会被切断，我们就会死去，植物和动物也会死去。s + be动词/助动词/情态动词+另一主语，此句型中需将主语和谓语倒装。表示前句所述的肯定情况也适用于另外一个人或物，其中的s作“也这样，也如此”。故将such改成s。
4.考查副词。句意：没有雨水，我们的水供应就会被切断，我们就会死去，植物和动物也会死去。然而，太多的雨水对我们造成了很大的伤害。前后表示一种转折关系，同时该单词置于句首，首字母应该大写。故将Therefre改成Hwever。
5.考查固定搭配。句意：同上。d harm t sb.为固定搭配，意为“对某人造成伤害”。故将harms改成harm。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意：它淹没了田野、城镇和城市，结果给我们带来了巨大的损失。句中fld为谓语动词，同时it与cause之间是主动关系且表示结果，故此处是现在分词作结果状语。故将cause改成causing。
7.考查时态。句意：到目前为止，人类对雨水的控制从未停止过。根据s far可知句子用现在完成时态，句子主语是cntrl，是单数第三人称。故将had改成has。
8.考查冠词。句意：如果我们能更有效地控制雨水，我们就能享受到更多的自由。nature做“大自然”讲时，前面不用冠词，故将frm后面的the去掉。
9.考查并列连词。句意：幸运地是，我们人类已经采取了一些措施，比如种植更多的树木和使用天气预报，以帮助避免洪水破坏和保护我们的供水。此处是递进的并列关系，故将r改成and。
10.考查固定搭配。句意：同上。help(t)d sth.帮助做某事。故将aviding改成avid。
