B
At seventy-three, Marcia Pollock’s father was a man of great independence and pride. The kids called him “Poppy”, a name that everybody used.
Poppy lived in his old neighborhood and he had a part-time job at a local pharmacy（药房）. After Marcia’s mother died, Poppy firmly refused Marcia and Jack’s invitation to come and live with them. He was stubborn about not crowding their little house, about not becoming a burden.
In fact, he was always helpful. The kids loved him because he listened to them and because he always brought them something. He also brought special gifts to Marcia and Jack, never arriving empty-handed.
And so it was with shock and bewilderment（迷惑）that Marcia went to see Poppy in the hospital that summer after he had fallen down in the street. The doctor said that Poppy had been living on coffee and doughnuts. Later that day, the pharmacist told Marcia, “He has practically no money at all—just the government cheque and what little he makes here. Yet I myself saw him spend most of his last cheque on your little boy’s bicycle.”
She became stern with Poppy.“You’re foolish, Poppy,” she said. “I have my pride,” Poppy answered. “False pride,” she hurled（斥责）back at him.
During autumn, Poppy didn’t come around as often as he had in the past, but when he did, he would still arrive with little gifts in hand. Then, just before the holidays, Poppy told Marcia that he couldn’t visit them on Christmas Day because he would watch the store, but Marcia knew the shop was not open on Christmas.
She felt worried and called Poppy, telling him that he was one of them and that they all loved him. Half an hour before the turkey went on the table on Christmas, Poppy came. The kids rushed to him and gave him more hugs and kisses than he had ever had before. Poppy held out his arms to Marcia, and his hands were empty — yet never had they been more filled.
4. Which is Poppy’s reason for not living with his daughter?
A. He had a part-time job. B. He was stubborn sometimes.
C. He liked living independently. D. He didn’t want to become a burden to her .
5. Why was Marcia puzzled after hearing the doctor’s words?
A. She didn’t know who had knocked Poppy down.
B. She thought Poppy had enough money for living.
C. She wondered how to take care of him later.
D. She thought the doctor didn’t know his living condition.
6. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “stern” in paragraph 5?
A. patient B. angry
C. respectful D. afraid.
7. Why does the author say that Poppy’s hands were filled at last?
A. Poppy learned that he was loved.
B. Poppy had brought enough gifts before.
C. Poppy still held his independence and pride.
D. Poppy had found reasons for Marcia’s rudeness.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了Marcia的母亲去世后，Poppy坚决拒绝女儿Marcia和女婿Jack的邀请，不和他们住在一起。他固执地不去挤他们的小房子，不想成为他们的负担。每次Poppy去看望女儿一家，都会给他们带礼物。所以，Marcia一直认为自己的父亲有足够的钱生活。一次意外发生，当医生告诉Marcia，他的父亲根本没有钱的时候，Marcia很困惑，没有钱还给孩子们买礼物。于是，Marcia和父亲吵了一架。后来，在圣诞节时，Marcia邀请父亲来家里，并且告诉他，他是他们中的一员，他们都爱他。这次Poppy终于空手来了，放下了他所谓的“骄傲”。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第二段After Marcia’s mother died, Poppy firmly refused Marcia and Jack’s invitation to come and live with them. He was stubborn about not crowding their little house, about not becoming a burden.（Marcia的母亲去世后，Poppy坚决拒绝Marcia和Jack的邀请，不和他们住在一起。他固执地不去挤他们的小房子，不想成为他们的负担。）由此可知，Poppy不和他女儿住在一起的原因是他不想成为她的负担，故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段In fact, he was always helpful. The kids loved him because he listened to them and because he always brought them something. He also brought special gifts to Marcia and Jack, never arriving empty-handed.（事实上，他总是乐于助人。孩子们爱他，因为他听他们说话，因为他总是给他们带来一些东西。他还给Marcia和Jack带来了特别的礼物，从来没有空手而来。）和第四段The doctor said that Poppy had been living on coffee and doughnuts. Later that day, the pharmacist told Marcia, “He has practically no money at all—just the government cheque and what little he makes here. Yet I myself saw him spend most of his last cheque on your little boy’s bicycle.”（ 医生说Poppy一直靠咖啡和甜甜圈生活。那天晚些时候，药剂师告诉Marcia，“他实际上什么钱也没有——只有一张政府支票和他在这里挣的一点点钱。可是我亲眼看见他把最后一张支票的大部分都花在你儿子的自行车上了。”）Marcia的父亲一直给他们买礼物，所以Marcia认为自己的父亲有足够的钱生活。当医生告诉Marcia，他的父亲根本没有钱的时候，Marcia很困惑，故选B。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。下文“You’re foolish, Poppy,” she said. “I have my pride,” Poppy answered. “False pride,” she hurled（斥责）back at him.意思是“你真傻，Poppy”她说。“我有我的骄傲，” Poppy回答。“错误的骄傲，”她狠狠地回击他。由此可知She became stern with Poppy.意思是她对Poppy很生气。“stern”意思是生气的，A. patient有耐心的；B. angry生气的；C. respectful尊敬的；D. afraid.害怕的，故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段She felt worried and called Poppy, telling him that he was one of them and that they all loved him.（她很担心，给Poppy打了电话，告诉他，他是他们中的一员，他们都爱他。）由此推断出，作者说Poppy的手最后被填满了是因为Poppy知道他被家人爱着，故选A。
【点睛】细节理解题的解题思路：
细节理解题就是我们常见的wh-题，它们大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节，做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。例如小题1，答案定位在第二段After Marcia’s mother died, Poppy firmly refused Marcia and Jack’s invitation to come and live with them. He was stubborn about not crowding their little house, about not becoming a burden.（Marcia的母亲去世后，Poppy坚决拒绝Marcia和Jack的邀请，不和他们住在一起。他固执地不去挤他们的小房子，不想成为他们的负担。）由此可知，Poppy不和他女儿住在一起的原因是他不想成为她的负担，故选D。

C
Encouraging children to use gestures as they think can help them come up with more creative ideas, according to new research.
“Our findings show that children naturally gesture when they think of unusual ways to use everyday items, ”says psychological scientist Elizabeth Kirk. “When we then asked children to move their hands, they were able to come up with even more creative ideas. ”
“Gesturing may allow us to explore the properties（特性）of the items — for example, how the item could be held, its size, its shape, etc. — and doing so can help us come up with ideas for creative uses, ” Kirk explains.
In their first study， the researchers compared the creativity of children who spontaneously (自发地）gestured with those who either did not or could not gesture.
A total of 78 children, aged 9-11, saw a series of images of ordinary items, such as a newspaper, a tin can, and a kettle. The researchers asked the children to look at each image and list as many uses as they could think of. A group of participants completed the task twice — on one version of the task, they wore mittens（连指手套）that limited their ability to gesture.
Restricting children’s ability to gesture did not affect their ability to come up with creative uses for the objects; Children who were free to gesture produced about the same number of ideas as those who wore the mittens and could not gesture.
In a second experiment, 54 children completed the same alternative-uses task. In some cases, children gestured normally; in other cases, the researchers encouraged the children to“use your hands to show me how you could use the object in different ways”.
The encouragement worked: Children who were specifically encouraged to gesture produced a greater number of creative uses for the objects than did the children who were not given any special instruction.
“Our findings add to the growing body of evidence showing the significant role of gesture in thinking and have applications to the classroom,” Kirk concluded in their paper.
8. What did the researchers intend to find out in the first experiment?
A. The number of creative ideas the children could think of.
B. How the children would explore the properties of the items.
C. Whether encouraging gesture would help to produce more new ideas.
D. The difference between thinking with gestures and without gestures.
9. Why were mittens used in the experiment?
A. To restrict gestures.
B. To limit creative thinking.
C. To test the ability to gesture,
D. To increase creative ideas.
10. When did the children think of the most new ideas?
A. When wearing mittens.
B. When encouraged to gesture.
C. When naturally gesturing.
D. When not using their hands.
11. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Communicate with Gestures
B. Think with Your Hands
C. Use Everyday Items Creatively
D. Make Gestures when Necessary
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了一项最新研究表明，鼓励孩子们按照自己认为的方式使用手势，可以帮助他们想出更具创意的点子。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第四段In their first study， the researchers compared the creativity of children who spontaneously gestured with those who either did not or could not gesture.由此可知，研究人员打算在第一个实验中发现用手势思考和不用手势思考的区别，故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第五段A group of participants completed the task twice — on one version of the task, they wore mittens（连指手套）that limited their ability to gesture.（一组参与者完成了两项任务——其中一项任务中，他们戴着手套，这限制了他们做手势的能力。）由此可知，实验中使用连指手套是为了限制手势，故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在倒数第二段The encouragement worked: Children who were specifically encouraged to gesture produced a greater number of creative uses for the objects than did the children who were not given any special instruction.（这种鼓励起了作用:与没有接受任何特殊指导的孩子相比，特别鼓励做手势的孩子对这些物品产生了更多的创造性用途。）由此可知，当孩子们被鼓励做手势的时候想出的新点子最多，故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段Encouraging children to use gestures as they think can help them come up with more creative ideas, according to new research.是全文的主题句，结合全文内容可知，这篇文章主要讲了一项最新研究表明，鼓励孩子们按照自己认为的方式使用手势，可以帮助他们想出更具创意的点子。这篇文章最好的题目是用手思考，故选B。

New App Helps People Remember Faces
Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people’s names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.

The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. “It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody,” says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.
After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee’s face, the app identifies the individual, displays the person’s name, and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users’ data after an event.
Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app’s creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”
The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness,” a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app.
12. SocialRecall is used to ________.
A. take photos B. identify people
C. organize events D. make friends
13. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A. how the app works
B. how the app was created
C. what makes the app popular
D. what people can do with the app
14. SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by ________.
A. giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones
B. collecting information previously entered in the phone
C. providing the information of a person when they first meet
D. showing the person’s information when it spots a stored face
15. What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage?
A. It may put people’s privacy at risk.
B. It has caused unintended consequences.
C. It can prevent some communication disorders.
D. It is praised by users for its protective measures.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
本文是一篇科普类短文阅读。文章主要介绍一款新的应用程序帮助人们识别面孔，但也有可能泄露隐私。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions.可知，这款名为SocialRecall的应用软件可以通过智能手机摄像头和面部识别功能将名字和人脸联系起来，从而避免了正式介绍的必要，从而可以推断出，是用来识别人。故选B。
【13题详解】
段落大意题。根据文章第三段本主要讲述在收到活动组织者发出邀请后，用户需要自拍两张照片并通过社交媒体登录，在活动中，该应用程序在之前定义的地理区域内处于活动状态。当用户将他或她的手机摄像头对准出席者的脸时，该应用程序就会识别这个人，显示这个人的名字，并链接到他或她的社交媒体个人资料，故本段主要介绍SocialRecall这款应用软件工作原理。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app.可知，用户使用智能手机的摄像头或照片中获取某人的面部图像，然后给它加上一个名字。当摄像机在现实生活中发现相同的人脸时，就会显示之前输入的信息，从而帮助脸盲症患者识别此人的信息。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”可知，当人们选择将自己的个人信息分享给应用程序时，他们应该知道，在未来可能会出现意想不到的后果，从而可以推断出SocialRecall这款应用程序可能会危及人们的隐私。故选A。

第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Rising through stages to realize ourselves
Many modern people have the problem that they don’t know who they are and what their purpose is. ____16____ Once high school seniors graduate, they seem to lose their identity. They once studied hard. But after they stop working, they begin to lose their way.
In the theory of the Hierarchy of Needs（需求理论）, Abraham Maslo, put forward a similar situation, which consists of the five levels of a person’s need. The fifth and final level is self-realization, which is where our final achievement lies. ___17___
I think self- realization has three major aspects. The first stage is acceptance, the second stage is discovery and the last stage is perseverance.
Acceptance is the first stage. We should be reminded that we are all born unique, so we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. Only when we understand these, can we pursue them or
change them. ___18___
Once we’ve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be. _____19_____but indeed we should live for ourselves. So before we start working towards a purpose, we should ask ourselves “Is this what we truly desire?” and “Is this going to change the situation we’re in?”
The last stage is perseverance.____20____ Those who can self-realize are people who focus on the things they want to change.
Through the three stages, we could gain recognition of ourselves. And by this point, whatever our lives were like, we would be able to stand tall, confident of ourselves.
A. It’s nothing to a man of perseverance
B. Only by acceptance of the past can we change it
C. This is especially common among college students
D. Many people tend to go along with social expectations
E. Being objective and yet tolerant is the key to acceptance
F. It is the process of knowing ourselves and finding a purpose
G. Exploring our potential isn’t going to be done in a short time
【答案】16. C 17. F
18. E 19. D
20. G
【解析】
【分析】
本文属于说明文，介绍要实现自我的三个方面。
【16题详解】
根据后一句Once high school seniors graduate, they seem to lose their identity.可知，一旦高年级学生毕业，他们就似乎丧失了自我，C选项，这种情况在大学生中很常见，下文是对本句的具体阐述，切题，故选C。
【17题详解】
根据前一句The fifth and final level is self-realization, which is where our final achievement lies.可知，根据马斯洛的理论，第五阶段也是最后阶段是自我实现，这就是我们最终成就的地方。F选项，这是一个了解我们自己，寻找目标的过程，是对上一句的具体阐述，切题，故选F。
【18题详解】
根据前一句Only when we understand these, can we pursue them or change them.可知，只有当我们理解了这些，我们才能去追求他们或者改变他们。E选项，客观和包容是接受的关键，阐述接受的关键地方，切题，故选E。
【19题详解】
根据前一句Once we’ve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be.以及后一句but indeed we should live for ourselves可知，只有接受了我们自己，才能发现自己感兴趣的东西，D选项，很多人跟着社会的要求行动，与后文，的确我们应该为自己生活，但是不一定都是自己真正想要的，连贯一致，切题，故选D。
【20题详解】
根据后一句Those who can self-realize are people who focus on the things they want to change.可知，能够实现自我的人都是那些能够集中精力在自己想要改变的事情上，G选项，探索自己的潜能不是短时间就能完成的，故强调坚持的重要性，切题，故选G。
【点睛】七选五题型看似简单，实际上有时完全作对并不容易，需要方法和分析能力及足够的耐力。这种题一般可从以下方面来做：
（1）看首段，跳过空格快速通读全篇，了解文章大意。首段的末句一般是全文的主题所在，首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义。
（2）首先快速浏览一遍七个备选答案，先确定哪个选项适合放在文章的什么位置
（3）精读空格前后两句，利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。比如小题4，根据前一句Once we’ve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be.以及后一句but indeed we should live for ourselves可知，只有接受了我们自己，才能发现自己感兴趣的东西，D选项，很多人跟着社会的要求行动，与后文，的确我们应该为自己生活，但是不一定都是自己真正想要的，连贯一致，切题，故选D。

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了作者为自己深爱的祖母亲手制作了一件特别的生日礼物。当祖母看到这个特别的礼物时，她深情地拥抱了作者，泪水在她的眼睛里打转，这让作者的父母由衷地笑了。
【详解】第一处：考查名词所有格。句意：上周一，我突然想到我深爱的祖母的生日就要到了。文中表示“祖母的生日”，用名词所有格，所以grandmother改成grandmother’s。
第二处：考查冠词。句意：我决定给她做一件独一无二的礼物。泛指“一件独一无二的礼物”，unique的首字母发音是辅音，所以an改成a。
第三处：考查固定用法。句意：我毫不犹豫地投入创作这张无价的专辑。throw oneself into投身于，该用法是固定用法，所以me改成myself。
第四处：考查动词。句意：我打开电脑，仔细地选择了一些照片，添加了一些装饰，仔细地设计了每一页。add是及物动词，后面直接接宾语，所以去掉up。
第五处：考查名词单复数。句意：我打开电脑，仔细地选择了一些照片，添加了一些装饰，仔细地设计了每一页。被each修饰，用名词单数，所以pages改成page。
第六处：考查时态和语态。描述发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时。“相册”和“制作”之间是被动关系，用被动语态，an album是单数，所以在produced之前，加was。
第七处：考查非谓语动词。句意：我满意地看着我的作品，不禁想象我的祖母会有多么高兴。“看着”的逻辑主语是“我”，它们之间是主动关系，用现在分词作状语，所以Looked改成Looking。
第八处：考查形容词。句意：我满意地看着我的作品，不禁想象我的祖母会有多么高兴。how之后接形容词，所以delightedly改成delighted。
第九处：考查时态。句意：当她看到这个特别的礼物时，她深情地拥抱了我，泪水在她的眼睛里打转，这让我的父母由衷地笑了。描述发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以hugs改成 hugged。
第十处：考查非限制性定语从句。这里含有一个非限制性定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，指代整个主句内容，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，所以what改成which。
