选择题部分
第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分)(略)
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)
第一节(共10个小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
“That one looks just like a sheep! And look over there.That one looks like a horse!” Do you remember lying on your back in a grassy field on a summer afternoon,discovering the soft shapes in the clouds in the sky? Those were the good old days when you could see anything and everything in the clouds.
But now people look at the sky and see clouds in the shape of a motor company’s advertising logo (商标),or a message inviting them to go out and buy a certain brand (品牌) of beer.These cloud pictures are not products of their imaginations.Instead,they are produced by a machine.These new floating advertisements are called Flogos;the name stands for “floating logos.” They’ re made from a mixture of soapy foam (泡沫)and a lighter-than-air gas such as helium,and they can be made into different sizes and shapes depending on the advertisement.
Flogos can last up to an hour if weather conditions are good,and they can fly several kilometers high.Advertisers can rent a Flogo machine for$2,500 a day.The set-up is normally performed within 1 to 2 hours,and it will release four Flogos per minute.Advertisers can fill the air with any shape or message they want.
Some people are worried that the Flogos might not be pollution-free.However,the Flogo’ s inventor insists that the soap he uses is natural,and that a Flogo just dissipates in the air,leaving nothing behind.Though it may be true that Flogos are environmentally friendly,some people believe that the natural clouds in our memory may be replaced by man-made ones.They are afraid that soon there will be nowhere left where their imaginations can float freely.
21.The author mentions the animal-like clouds to show that .
A.clouds remind us of the good old days
B.clouds can become any interesting shape
C.weather conditions were much better in the past
D.people observed the sky more carefully in the old days
22.What does the underlined word “dissipates” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Hides. B.Travels. C.Remains. D.Disappears.
23.We can infer from the end of the text that some people .
A.believe what the Flogos’ inventor says
B.prefer the new floating advertisements to others
C.fear that Flogos will leave nothing to their imaginations
D.hope that companies will advertise by using natural clouds
语篇解读:云朵机可以制作出各种形状的云朵,常用于广告宣传活动。
答案及剖析:
21.A 推理判断题。根据第一段中Do you remember lying on your back in a grassy field on a summer afternoon,discovering the soft shapes in the clouds in the sky? Those were the good old days when you could see anything and everything in the clouds.可以推测,作者在第一段提到形状像动物的云朵是为了表达对那些过去美好时光的回忆。所以答案为A项。
22.D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的leaving nothing behind可知,这些泡沫会消失得无影无踪。所以答案为D项。
23.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的some people believe that the natural clouds in our memory may be replaced by man-made ones.They are afraid that soon there will be nowhere left where their imaginations can float freely.可知,有些人担心这些人工制造的类似云朵的广告会剥夺他们想象的自由。所以答案选C项。
B
Reading may be fundamental, but how the brain gives meaning to letters on a page has been a mystery.Two new studies fill in some details on how the brains of efficient readers handle words.One of the studies, published in the April 30 Neuron, suggests that a visual-processing area of the brain recognizes common words as whole units.Another study, published online April 27 in PLOSONE, makes it known that the brain operates two fast parallel systems for reading, linking visual recognition of words to speech.
Maximilian Riesenhuber, a neuroscientist at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., wanted to know whether the brain reads words letter by letter or recognizes words as whole objects.He and his colleagues showed sets of real words or nonsense(无意义的词语)words to volunteers undergoing FMRI scans.The words differed in only one letter, such as “farm” and “form” or “soat” and “poat”, or were completely different, such as “farm” and “coat”or “poat” and “hime”.The researchers were particularly interested in what happens in the visual word form area, or VWFA, an area on the left side of the brain just behind the ear that is involved in recognizing words.
Riesenhuber and his colleagues found that neurons(神经元)in the VWFA respond strongly to changes in real words.Changing “farm” to “form”, for example, produced as great a change in activity as changing “farm” to“coat”, the team reports in Neuron.The area responded slowly to single-letter changes in made-up words.
The data suggests that readers grasp real words as whole objects, rather than focusing on letters or letter combinations.And as a reader’s exposure to a word increases, the brain comes to recognize the shape of the word.“Meaning is passed on after recognition in the brain”,Riesenhuber says.
The researchers don’t yet know how longer and less familiar words are recognized, or if the brain can be trained to recognize nonsense words as a unit.
24.Riesenhuber’s research probably focuses on whether the brain .
A.recognizes words as a unit or reads them letter by letter
B.operates two fast parallel systems for reading
C.takes longer to read less familiar words or not
D.handles nonsense words as a unit
25.Riesenhuber and his colleagues carried out their research by .
A.giving pairs of real words totally different
B.arranging the words in different order
C.showing pairs of different words
D.making volunteers read some longer words
26.Riesenhuber’s research is significant in that it shows how the brain .
A.responds to familiar words B.relates meaning to letters
C.recognizes the form of a word D.reacts to made-up words
语篇解读:文章主要介绍了大脑是如何识别并认知语言词汇的。
答案及剖析:
24.A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的Maximilian Riesenhuber...wanted to know whether the brain reads words letter by letter or recognizes words as whole objects...可知,该研究探讨大脑是否是以单元识别词汇还是以字母诵读,故选A项。
25.C 推断判断题。根据文章第二段中的The words differed in only one letter, such as “farm” and “form” or “soat” and “poat”, or were completely different, such as “farm” and “coat”or “poat” and “hime”.可知,该研究通过词汇对比的方式而开展的,故选C项。
26.C 推理判断题。根据全文并结合第一段和最后一段知,该研究主要关注了大脑识别词汇的方式,故选C项。
C
(2018·浙江高考仿真测试)
Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)?When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included,he can give you a false picture.
For example,someone might say,“I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票).It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner,right? Maybe,maybe not.We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets,and only one was a winner.He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false,but he left out important information on purpose.That’s called a half-truth.Half-truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick.Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks another term.One of her opponents(对手) says,“During Governor Smith’s term,the state lost one million jobs!”That’s true.However,an honest statement would have been,“During Governor Smith’s term,the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say,“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too often.It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
27.How much did the lottery winner lose?
A.One hundred dollars. B.Two hundred dollars.
C.Three hundred dollars. D.Four hundred dollars.
28.We may infer that the author believes people should .
A.buy lottery tickets B.make use of half-truths
C.be careful about what they are told D.not trust the Yucky Company
29.What do the underlined words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Final increase. B.Big advantage. C.Large share. D.Total saving.
30.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A.He’s really a big loser!
B.Sometimes the truth can lie as well.
C.Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.
D.It’s against the law to make false statements.
语篇解读:文章主要阐述了一个道理:谎言永远是谎言,但是有的时候事实同样会撒谎。
答案及剖析:
27.A 事实细节题。由第三段中的 “We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets” 可知,中了100美元却花了200美元,可见这个买彩票的人损失了100美元,故正确答案为A。
28.C 推理判断题。由第一段第二句 “When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included,he can give you a false picture.” 可推知,有的时候事实也能造成误导,所以一定要小心别人告知你的话,所以C项正确。
29.A 词义猜测题。由第五段第二句 “Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.”可知,在史密斯的领导下,减少了100万工作岗位的同时又增加了新的300万个工作岗位,故实际上最终增加了200万个工作岗位,故划线处应为“净增加”或“最终增加”之意,故正确答案为A。
30.B 主旨大意题。由最后一段最后一句 “It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well” 可知,文章主要阐述了一个道理:谎言永远是谎言,但是有的时候事实同样会撒谎。前面几段分别用几个例子佐证了这一观点,故正确答案为B。

Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself
In all one’s life time it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with.31.
When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate(高估) yourself.It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach.32. It’s likely that you think it wise for yourself to stay away from the outer world.Actually,to get a thorough understanding of oneself,you may as well keep the following tips in mind.
Gain a correct view of oneself.You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much,for dreams can never be fully realized.You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts.33.
Self-appreciate.Whether you compare yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass,a high mountain or a small stone,you represent a state of nature.34. If you earnestly (诚挚地) admire yourself you’ll have a real sense of self-appreciation.
35. In time of anger,do yourself a favor by releasing (释放) it in a quiet place so that you won’t be hurt by its flames;in time of sadness,do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a bad mood into a cheerful one;in time of tiredness,do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep.
Get a full control of one’s life.Then one will find one’s life full of color and flavor.
A.It has its own value.
B.Do oneself a favor when it’s needed.
C.Do yourself a favor when you resist the attack of illness.
D.But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of.
E.Especially if it is well within your reach,you are just too blind to see it.
F.When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself for your own incompetence.
G.So long as you have a perfect knowledge of yourself,there won’t be difficulties you can’t overcome.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。生活中总有些人高估或低估自己,这是因为他们不了解自己。本文就如何全面了解自己提出了几条建议。
答案及剖析:
31.D 第一段第一句是强调句型,和D项句式相同,但意思相反,前后两句之间为转折关系,“But”起着衔接的作用,符合语境。故选D。
32.F 空格前提到“在人生的上升阶段你倾向于高估自己,似乎你所追求的一切都触手可及”;F项意为“当你走下坡路时,你倾向于因自己的无能而低估自己”,与上文句式相同,说明两种情况,与下文的“stay away from the outer world”紧密衔接。故选F。
33.G 根据该段的小标题 “获得对自己的正确评价”可知,G项“只要你对自己非常了解,就没有克服不了的困难”符合语境。故选G。
34.A 空格前提到“不管你把自己比作什么事物,实际上你代表的是一种自然形态”,与A项“它有自己的价值”紧密衔接,符合语境。故选A。
35.B 本段主要建议“在你生气、悲伤、劳累时,可通过适当的方式对自己好一些”;B项“在需要的时候对自己好一些”符合该段大意,适合做本段小标题。关键词“do yourself a favor”也是选择的依据。故选B。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
There once was a forest filled with happy animals.One day a raccoon(浣熊) found some socks left behind by picnickers,and 56. (decide) to wear them.They fitted so well,and felt so 57. (comfort),that he kept them on.He spent his days 58. (walk) through the forest in his new socks.
Other animals became envious of the raccoon’s new look and followed his trend.First it was squirrels in 59. (shirt),then rabbits 60. hats on,and finally birds wearing underpants!
Doctor Bear,61. forest physician,disapproved and tried to warn the clothes-wearers.But no one listened.Instead,they urged him to follow the 62. (late) trend too.
Soon,the problems started.The squirrel caught his shirt on a branch and crashed to the ground.The rabbit tried entering his hole while wearing his hat and got stuck.Even the raccoon,thanks to his 63. (bright) coloured socks,slipped into the river and almost died.
When the 64. (injure) animals came to see Doctor Bear,he told them,“Your clothes are killing you.You don’t need them.”
Those 65. listened to the doctor’s advice finally understood they didn’t need clothes.They’d only started wearing clothes to make others envy them.
语篇解读:本文讲述动物因为嫉妒纷纷穿上了衣服,但这些衣服对它们并无好处。
答案及剖析:
56.decided 考查时态。and为连词,连接并列成分,根据时间状语One day及谓语动词found可知,此处用一般过去时,故填decided。
57.comfortable 考查形容词的用法。felt是系动词,后接形容词作表语,所以用comfort的形容词形式comfortable。
58.walking 考查非谓语动词的用法。本句用了spend time (in) doing sth.句型,空前省略介词in,所以用动名词walking。
59.shirts 考查名词单复数的用法。由squirrels是复数可知超过一件衬衫,用shirt的复数形式shirts。
60.with 考查介词的用法。with+名词,表示兔子戴帽子的状态。
61.the 考查冠词的用法。分析句子结构可知,forest physician为Doctor Bear的同位语。表特指,故填定冠词the。
62.latest 考查形容词的最高级用法。the latest trend意为“最新的潮流”。
63.brightly 考查副词的用法。修饰形容词coloured用副词brightly。
64.injured 考查非谓语动词的用法。injured animals意为“受伤的动物”。injure与animals构成被动关系,用过去分词。
65.who 考查定语从句的关系词。本句先行词是those,指那些以前穿人类服装的动物,用who引导定语从句,who在从句中作主语。

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Wanted:Violin.Can’t pay much.Contact...”
I rarely read the classified advertisements,so why did I notice that one? I laid the paper on my lap and closed my eyes,remembering what had happened many years before,during the Great Depression when my family struggled to make a living on our farm.I,too,had wanted a violin.
When my older twin sisters began showing an interest in music,Harriet Anne learned to play Grandma’s piano,while Suzanne turned to Daddy’s violin.Simple tunes became lovely melodies.My baby brother danced; Daddy hummed and Mother whistled.I just listened.
When my arms grew long enough,I tried to play Suzanne’s violin.Oh,how I wanted one!But I knew it was out of the question.
One evening as the twins played in the school orchestra.I closed my eyes tight to capture the picture firmly in my mind.Some day,I’ll sit up there,I vowed silently.
It was not a good year.At harvest the crops didn’t bring as much as we had hoped.Yet even though times were hard,I couldn’t wait any longer to ask,“Daddy,may I have a violin of my own?”
“Can’t you use Suzanne’s?”
“I’d like to be in the orchestra too,and we can’t both use the same violin at the same time.”
Daddy’s face looked sad.That night,and many following nights,I heard him remind God in our family prayers,“...and Lord,Mary Lou wants her own violin.”
One evening we all sat round the table.The twins and I studied.Mother sewed and Daddy wrote a letter to his friend,George Finkle,in Columbus,Ohio.Mr Finkle,Daddy said,was a fine violinist.
When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later,he asked me,“Mary Lou,do you want to go with me to visit Mr.Finkle?”
He drove us to Columbus and we came to a fine,old house.A tall man opened the door.He and Daddy heartily shook hands,both talking at once.
“Mary Lou,I’ve been hearing things about you.Your Daddy has arranged a surprise for you!” He picked up a case,opened it,lifted out a violin and started to play.The melody surged and spoke like waterfalls.Oh,to play like him,I thought.
Finishing the piece,he turned to Daddy.“I found it in a pawnshop(当铺)for seven dollars.It’s a good violin.Mary Lou should be able to make a beautiful music with it.” Then he handed the violin to me.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;
3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1:
I noticed the tears in Daddy’s eyes as I finally comprehended.It was mine!
Paragraph 2:
I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement.
One possible version:
I noticed the tears in Daddy’s eyes as I finally comprehended.It was mine!“It’s beautiful.” I said,barely breathing.I knew Daddy’s prayer,and mine,had been answered.Back home,I practiced daily,feeling no tiredness.When I was ready to join the school orchestra,I trembled with excitement.Daddy and Mother smiled proudly in the audience at their little girl who held her cherished violin for the whole world to admire.The years seemed to run more swiftly then.I packed my violin in its case and stepped into the grown-up world.Nurse’s training,marriage,working,bringing up four daughters filled my years.Yet none of my children cared about the violin.
I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement.Laying the paper aside,I went to find my violin.And I dialed the number.Later that afternoon,an old car stopped in my driveway.A man in his thirties with a young girl knocked on the door.“I’ve been praying someone would answer my advertisement.My daughter wants a violin so badly.” He said,“How much are you asking?” “Seven dollars,” I said.I handed the case to the girl.She opened the case and touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late-afternoon sun.Then she threw her arms round her smiling father.

第一节(共10个小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
“That one looks just like a sheep! And look over there.That one looks like a horse!” Do you remember lying on your back in a grassy field on a summer afternoon,discovering the soft shapes in the clouds in the sky? Those were the good old days when you could see anything and everything in the clouds.
But now people look at the sky and see clouds in the shape of a motor company’s advertising logo (商标),or a message inviting them to go out and buy a certain brand (品牌) of beer.These cloud pictures are not products of their imaginations.Instead,they are produced by a machine.These new floating advertisements are called Flogos;the name stands for “floating logos.” They’ re made from a mixture of soapy foam (泡沫)and a lighter-than-air gas such as helium,and they can be made into different sizes and shapes depending on the advertisement.
Flogos can last up to an hour if weather conditions are good,and they can fly several kilometers high.Advertisers can rent a Flogo machine for$2,500 a day.The set-up is normally performed within 1 to 2 hours,and it will release four Flogos per minute.Advertisers can fill the air with any shape or message they want.
Some people are worried that the Flogos might not be pollution-free.However,the Flogo’ s inventor insists that the soap he uses is natural,and that a Flogo just dissipates in the air,leaving nothing behind.Though it may be true that Flogos are environmentally friendly,some people believe that the natural clouds in our memory may be replaced by man-made ones.They are afraid that soon there will be nowhere left where their imaginations can float freely.
21.The author mentions the animal-like clouds to show that .
A.clouds remind us of the good old days
B.clouds can become any interesting shape
C.weather conditions were much better in the past
D.people observed the sky more carefully in the old days
22.What does the underlined word “dissipates” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Hides. B.Travels. C.Remains. D.Disappears.
23.We can infer from the end of the text that some people .
A.believe what the Flogos’ inventor says
B.prefer the new floating advertisements to others
C.fear that Flogos will leave nothing to their imaginations
D.hope that companies will advertise by using natural clouds
语篇解读:云朵机可以制作出各种形状的云朵,常用于广告宣传活动。
答案及剖析:
21.A 推理判断题。根据第一段中Do you remember lying on your back in a grassy field on a summer afternoon,discovering the soft shapes in the clouds in the sky? Those were the good old days when you could see anything and everything in the clouds.可以推测,作者在第一段提到形状像动物的云朵是为了表达对那些过去美好时光的回忆。所以答案为A项。
22.D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的leaving nothing behind可知,这些泡沫会消失得无影无踪。所以答案为D项。

Reading may be fundamental, but how the brain gives meaning to letters on a page has been a mystery.Two new studies fill in some details on how the brains of efficient readers handle words.One of the studies, published in the April 30 Neuron, suggests that a visual-processing area of the brain recognizes common words as whole units.Another study, published online April 27 in PLOSONE, makes it known that the brain operates two fast parallel systems for reading, linking visual recognition of words to speech.
Maximilian Riesenhuber, a neuroscientist at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., wanted to know whether the brain reads words letter by letter or recognizes words as whole objects.He and his colleagues showed sets of real words or nonsense(无意义的词语)words to volunteers undergoing FMRI scans.The words differed in only one letter, such as “farm” and “form” or “soat” and “poat”, or were completely different, such as “farm” and “coat”or “poat” and “hime”.The researchers were particularly interested in what happens in the visual word form area, or VWFA, an area on the left side of the brain just behind the ear that is involved in recognizing words.
Riesenhuber and his colleagues found that neurons(神经元)in the VWFA respond strongly to changes in real words.Changing “farm” to “form”, for example, produced as great a change in activity as changing “farm” to“coat”, the team reports in Neuron.The area responded slowly to single-letter changes in made-up words.
The data suggests that readers grasp real words as whole objects, rather than focusing on letters or letter combinations.And as a reader’s exposure to a word increases, the brain comes to recognize the shape of the word.“Meaning is passed on after recognition in the brain”,Riesenhuber says.
The researchers don’t yet know how longer and less familiar words are recognized, or if the brain can be trained to recognize nonsense words as a unit.
24.Riesenhuber’s research probably focuses on whether the brain .
A.recognizes words as a unit or reads them letter by letter
B.operates two fast parallel systems for reading
C.takes longer to read less familiar words or not
D.handles nonsense words as a unit
25.Riesenhuber and his colleagues carried out their research by .
A.giving pairs of real words totally different
B.arranging the words in different order
C.showing pairs of different words
D.making volunteers read some longer words
26.Riesenhuber’s research is significant in that it shows how the brain .
A.responds to familiar words B.relates meaning to letters
C.recognizes the form of a word D.reacts to made-up words
语篇解读:文章主要介绍了大脑是如何识别并认知语言词汇的。
答案及剖析:

25.C 推断判断题。根据文章第二段中的The words differed in only one letter, such as “farm” and “form” or “soat” and “poat”, or were completely different, such as “farm” and “coat”or “poat” and “hime”.可知,该研究通过词汇对比的方式而开展的,故选C项。
26.C 推理判断题。根据全文并结合第一段和最后一段知,该研究主要关注了大脑识别词汇的方式,故选C项。

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)?When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included,he can give you a false picture.
For example,someone might say,“I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票).It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner,right? Maybe,maybe not.We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets,and only one was a winner.He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false,but he left out important information on purpose.That’s called a half-truth.Half-truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick.Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks another term.One of her opponents(对手) says,“During Governor Smith’s term,the state lost one million jobs!”That’s true.However,an honest statement would have been,“During Governor Smith’s term,the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say,“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too often.It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
27.How much did the lottery winner lose?
A.One hundred dollars. B.Two hundred dollars.
C.Three hundred dollars. D.Four hundred dollars.
28.We may infer that the author believes people should .
A.buy lottery tickets B.make use of half-truths
C.be careful about what they are told D.not trust the Yucky Company
29.What do the underlined words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Final increase. B.Big advantage. C.Large share. D.Total saving.
30.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A.He’s really a big loser!
B.Sometimes the truth can lie as well.
C.Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.
D.It’s against the law to make false statements.
语篇解读:文章主要阐述了一个道理:谎言永远是谎言,但是有的时候事实同样会撒谎。
答案及剖析:
27.A 事实细节题。由第三段中的 “We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets” 可知,中了100美元却花了200美元,可见这个买彩票的人损失了100美元,故正确答案为A。
28.C 推理判断题。由第一段第二句 “When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included,he can give you a false picture.” 可推知,有的时候事实也能造成误导,所以一定要小心别人告知你的话,所以C项正确。
29.A 词义猜测题。由第五段第二句 “Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.”可知,在史密斯的领导下,减少了100万工作岗位的同时又增加了新的300万个工作岗位,故实际上最终增加了200万个工作岗位,故划线处应为“净增加”或“最终增加”之意,故正确答案为A。
30.B 主旨大意题。由最后一段最后一句 “It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well” 可知,文章主要阐述了一个道理:谎言永远是谎言,但是有的时候事实同样会撒谎。前面几段分别用几个例子佐证了这一观点,故正确答案为B。

Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself
In all one’s life time it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with.31.
When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate(高估) yourself.It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach.32. It’s likely that you think it wise for yourself to stay away from the outer world.Actually,to get a thorough understanding of oneself,you may as well keep the following tips in mind.
Gain a correct view of oneself.You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much,for dreams can never be fully realized.You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts.33.
Self-appreciate.Whether you compare yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass,a high mountain or a small stone,you represent a state of nature.34. If you earnestly (诚挚地) admire yourself you’ll have a real sense of self-appreciation.
35. In time of anger,do yourself a favor by releasing (释放) it in a quiet place so that you won’t be hurt by its flames;in time of sadness,do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a bad mood into a cheerful one;in time of tiredness,do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep.
Get a full control of one’s life.Then one will find one’s life full of color and flavor.
A.It has its own value.
B.Do oneself a favor when it’s needed.
C.Do yourself a favor when you resist the attack of illness.
D.But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of.
E.Especially if it is well within your reach,you are just too blind to see it.
F.When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself for your own incompetence.
G.So long as you have a perfect knowledge of yourself,there won’t be difficulties you can’t overcome.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。生活中总有些人高估或低估自己,这是因为他们不了解自己。本文就如何全面了解自己提出了几条建议。
答案及剖析:
31.D 第一段第一句是强调句型,和D项句式相同,但意思相反,前后两句之间为转折关系,“But”起着衔接的作用,符合语境。故选D。
32.F 空格前提到“在人生的上升阶段你倾向于高估自己,似乎你所追求的一切都触手可及”;F项意为“当你走下坡路时,你倾向于因自己的无能而低估自己”,与上文句式相同,说明两种情况,与下文的“stay away from the outer world”紧密衔接。故选F。
33.G 根据该段的小标题 “获得对自己的正确评价”可知,G项“只要你对自己非常了解,就没有克服不了的困难”符合语境。故选G。
34.A 空格前提到“不管你把自己比作什么事物,实际上你代表的是一种自然形态”,与A项“它有自己的价值”紧密衔接,符合语境。故选A。
35.B 本段主要建议“在你生气、悲伤、劳累时,可通过适当的方式对自己好一些”;B项“在需要的时候对自己好一些”符合该段大意,适合做本段小标题。关键词“do yourself a favor”也是选择的依据。故选B。

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
There once was a forest filled with happy animals.One day a raccoon(浣熊) found some socks left behind by picnickers,and 56. (decide) to wear them.They fitted so well,and felt so 57. (comfort),that he kept them on.He spent his days 58. (walk) through the forest in his new socks.
Other animals became envious of the raccoon’s new look and followed his trend.First it was squirrels in 59. (shirt),then rabbits 60. hats on,and finally birds wearing underpants!
Doctor Bear,61. forest physician,disapproved and tried to warn the clothes-wearers.But no one listened.Instead,they urged him to follow the 62. (late) trend too.
Soon,the problems started.The squirrel caught his shirt on a branch and crashed to the ground.The rabbit tried entering his hole while wearing his hat and got stuck.Even the raccoon,thanks to his 63. (bright) coloured socks,slipped into the river and almost died.
When the 64. (injure) animals came to see Doctor Bear,he told them,“Your clothes are killing you.You don’t need them.”
Those 65. listened to the doctor’s advice finally understood they didn’t need clothes.They’d only started wearing clothes to make others envy them.
语篇解读:本文讲述动物因为嫉妒纷纷穿上了衣服,但这些衣服对它们并无好处。
答案及剖析:
56.decided 考查时态。and为连词,连接并列成分,根据时间状语One day及谓语动词found可知,此处用一般过去时,故填decided。
57.comfortable 考查形容词的用法。felt是系动词,后接形容词作表语,所以用comfort的形容词形式comfortable。
58.walking 考查非谓语动词的用法。本句用了spend time (in) doing sth.句型,空前省略介词in,所以用动名词walking。
59.shirts 考查名词单复数的用法。由squirrels是复数可知超过一件衬衫,用shirt的复数形式shirts。
60.with 考查介词的用法。with+名词,表示兔子戴帽子的状态。
61.the 考查冠词的用法。分析句子结构可知,forest physician为Doctor Bear的同位语。表特指,故填定冠词the。
62.latest 考查形容词的最高级用法。the latest trend意为“最新的潮流”。
63.brightly 考查副词的用法。修饰形容词coloured用副词brightly。
64.injured 考查非谓语动词的用法。injured animals意为“受伤的动物”。injure与animals构成被动关系,用过去分词。
65.who 考查定语从句的关系词。本句先行词是those,指那些以前穿人类服装的动物,用who引导定语从句,who在从句中作主语。

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Wanted:Violin.Can’t pay much.Contact...”
I rarely read the classified advertisements,so why did I notice that one? I laid the paper on my lap and closed my eyes,remembering what had happened many years before,during the Great Depression when my family struggled to make a living on our farm.I,too,had wanted a violin.
When my older twin sisters began showing an interest in music,Harriet Anne learned to play Grandma’s piano,while Suzanne turned to Daddy’s violin.Simple tunes became lovely melodies.My baby brother danced; Daddy hummed and Mother whistled.I just listened.
When my arms grew long enough,I tried to play Suzanne’s violin.Oh,how I wanted one!But I knew it was out of the question.
One evening as the twins played in the school orchestra.I closed my eyes tight to capture the picture firmly in my mind.Some day,I’ll sit up there,I vowed silently.
It was not a good year.At harvest the crops didn’t bring as much as we had hoped.Yet even though times were hard,I couldn’t wait any longer to ask,“Daddy,may I have a violin of my own?”
“Can’t you use Suzanne’s?”
“I’d like to be in the orchestra too,and we can’t both use the same violin at the same time.”
Daddy’s face looked sad.That night,and many following nights,I heard him remind God in our family prayers,“...and Lord,Mary Lou wants her own violin.”
One evening we all sat round the table.The twins and I studied.Mother sewed and Daddy wrote a letter to his friend,George Finkle,in Columbus,Ohio.Mr Finkle,Daddy said,was a fine violinist.
When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later,he asked me,“Mary Lou,do you want to go with me to visit Mr.Finkle?”
He drove us to Columbus and we came to a fine,old house.A tall man opened the door.He and Daddy heartily shook hands,both talking at once.
“Mary Lou,I’ve been hearing things about you.Your Daddy has arranged a surprise for you!” He picked up a case,opened it,lifted out a violin and started to play.The melody surged and spoke like waterfalls.Oh,to play like him,I thought.
Finishing the piece,he turned to Daddy.“I found it in a pawnshop(当铺)for seven dollars.It’s a good violin.Mary Lou should be able to make a beautiful music with it.” Then he handed the violin to me.

Paragraph 1:
I noticed the tears in Daddy’s eyes as I finally comprehended.It was mine!
Paragraph 2:
I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement.
One possible version:
I noticed the tears in Daddy’s eyes as I finally comprehended.It was mine!“It’s beautiful.” I said,barely breathing.I knew Daddy’s prayer,and mine,had been answered.Back home,I practiced daily,feeling no tiredness.When I was ready to join the school orchestra,I trembled with excitement.Daddy and Mother smiled proudly in the audience at their little girl who held her cherished violin for the whole world to admire.The years seemed to run more swiftly then.I packed my violin in its case and stepped into the grown-up world.Nurse’s training,marriage,working,bringing up four daughters filled my years.Yet none of my children cared about the violin.
I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement.Laying the paper aside,I went to find my violin.And I dialed the number.Later that afternoon,an old car stopped in my driveway.A man in his thirties with a young girl knocked on the door.“I’ve been praying someone would answer my advertisement.My daughter wants a violin so badly.” He said,“How much are you asking?” “Seven dollars,” I said.I handed the case to the girl.She opened the case and touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late-afternoon sun.Then she threw her arms round her smiling father.
