Ⅰ.阅读理解AIn what can only be described as a heroic act，a golden  retriever managed to save his owner's life by lying on top of him for almost 24 hours to keep him from freezing to death after slipping on ice and breaking his neck.On New Year's Eve,64­year­old Bob，who chose not to reveal his last name for privacy reasons，of Petoskey，Michigan，was watching a football game between Clemson and Ohio State.It was around 10 : 30 p．m.when he decided to go outside and fetch some more wood for his fireplace wearing only long underpants，slippers and a shirt.He had taken the short,15­foot walk to the firewood shed thousands of times before，but this time his poor choice of footwear made him slip，and the fall left him unable to move.“I was screaming for help，but my nearest neighbor is about a quarter mile away and it was 10: 30 p．m.，but my Kelsey came，”Bob recalls.“By morning my voice was gone and I couldn't yell for help，but Kelsey didn't stop barking.She kept barking for help，but never left my side.She kept me warm and alert.I knew I had to hold on through this and that was my choice to stay alive.”[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一条金毛猎犬在寒冷的夜晚救了自己主人的性命的故事。1．Who saved Bob's life?A．His friend.B．His neighbor.C．His son.D．His dog.解析：细节理解题。从文章第一段第一句中的“a golden retriever managed to save his owner's life”可知，是鲍勃的狗救了他的性命。故选D项。答案：D2．What was the reason for Bob's slipping?A．He seldom went out at night.B．He didn't wear proper shoes.C．It was too dark to see clearly.D．The weather was freezing cold.解析：细节理解题。从文章第二段最后一句的“but this time his poor choice of footwear made him slip，and the fall left him unable to move”可知，他穿不合适的鞋是他摔倒的主要原因。故选B项。答案：B3．What can be learned about Bob from the story?A．He was shy in public.B．He liked playing football.C．He lived all by himself.D．He got on well with neighbors.解析：推理判断题。从文章第三段第一句的“but my nearest neighbor is about a quarter mile away”可以看出，鲍勃并没有提及家人，且最后是他的爱犬救了他，故可推断出鲍勃是独自生活。答案：CBIt is such a common occurrence that no one ever wonders from where it came.But the telephone has a fascinating story behind it.It is the story of Alexander Graham Bell.He was born in Edinburgh，Scotland in 1847.The son of a man who was bitten by the workings of the human voice，how it is produced and used，and especially teaching the deaf how to use it，young Alexander Graham Bell grew up with his father's such strong feelings.In 1870，because of poor health，he migrated to Canada.It was not long before his success in teaching the deaf to speak brought him to the attention of a wealthy merchant in Boston who wanted Bell to help her daughter，Mabel.Finally，Mr.Bell and Mabel fell in love. It was she who inspired him to develop the  remarkable instrument that transformed speech into electrical impulses (脉冲)  that could then be changed back into human speech at the end of a wire.In 1877，he and Mabel were married.He later became an American citizen.Alexander Graham Bell was showered with the praise of the world.Honors came to him from all the points of the compass.He went on to other discoveries，many of them.But in his own view，he was most proud of his efforts to help the deaf.So，when the government of France awarded him the Volta Prize for inventing the telephone，he combined this monetary award with the money he made from selling the patent on another invention to establish the Volta Bureau in Washington，D.C.Its purpose was to fund research on deafness.Today，it is called the Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.Its role has been changed to providing the latest information for the deaf of the world on how best to deal with their disability.[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章简单介绍了有关贝尔的情况、他的伟大发明以及他对聋人所做的贡献。4．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “bitten by”？A．Fed up with.　　　 B．Familiar with.C．In harmony with. D．Enthusiastic about.解析：词义猜测题。根据画线部分后的“the workings of the human voice，how it is produced and used，and especially teaching the deaf how to use it，young Alexander Graham Bell grew up with his father's such strong feelings”可知，Bell伴着父亲的这种强烈的感情长大，再根据第三段中提到的Bell教聋人说话可知，Bell的父亲应是热衷于人类的声音。故D项“对……感兴趣，热衷于……”与画线部分意义相近。答案：D5．What does the author say about Bell?A．He married a deaf woman.B．He taught the deaf to use telephones.C．He was funded by a merchant.D．He was inspired by his father to invent telephones.解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“his success in teaching the deaf to speak brought him to the attention of a wealthy merchant in Boston who wanted Bell to help her daughter, Mabel”可知，Bell在教聋人说话方面的成功使他被一名波士顿富商注意到，他想请Bell帮帮他的女儿Mabel，由此可推知，Mabel也是一名聋人。后来Bell和Mabel结婚了，因此A项“Bell娶了一名聋人”正确。答案：A6．What is the Volta Bureau mentioned to show?A．The necessity to care about the deaf.B．Bell's other discoveries.C．Bell's passion in helping the deaf.D．The purpose of the organization.解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“he was most proud of his efforts to help the deaf”和“he combined this monetary award with the money he made from selling the patent on another invention to establish the Volta Bureau...fund research on deafness”，再结合上文提到的他受到父亲热衷人类声音、教聋人说话等的影响，自己也教聋人说话的内容可知，成立Volta Bureau进一步说明了Bell对帮助聋人的热情。答案：C7．What may the paragraph that follows be about?A．The development of the Association.B．Examples of Bell's other inventions.C．Something about his family.D．Bell's death and his influence.解析：推理判断题。本题初看四个选项，仿佛每项的内容都可以入选，但是第四段已经简单介绍了Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing的前身和现在的作用，因此下一段不会再介绍它的发展了；第四段中提到Bell有多项发明，但他最为自豪的还是帮助聋人的努力，并且建立了一个帮助聋人的组织，因此下一段也不会介绍他的其他发明；第二段和第三段已经提到了Bell的父亲和妻子了，因此下一段亦不会再介绍他的家人。本文介绍了Bell的成长环境、移居加拿大、结婚、成为美国公民和获奖等人生大事，可推知本文的写作目的是简要介绍Bell的生平和成就，因此下一段很可能会提到Bell的逝世和他的影响。答案：DⅡ.阅读七选五Why is volunteering important?When it comes to service work，it is important to realize that the actual goal should be getting the most out of your voluntary work.　1　Gaining new/social experiencesVolunteering allows students to get involved with new things and develop social and academic skills that couldn't be learned in a classroom environment.　2　Giving and helping othersVolunteers create better environments for others；they create healthier communities and they brighten lives.Jill，a senior student，has been a volunteer in her community for more than three years.　3　 “They always tell me how great we sound and how they wish they had taken time to learn an instrument in their youth.”Creating connections with people　4　Not only does the voluntary work you do show who you are as a person，but it reflects many positive qualities that possibly employers and admission officers want to see.Volunteering allows you to meet a wide variety of people from all sorts of walks of life.　5　Volunteering isn't one of the most attractive jobs，but it is one of the most beneficial  and uplifting (令人振奋的)．It's taking some time out of your day and helping others.Voluntary work makes us feel good.It builds self­confidence and lifts up the spirits.A．Building career choicesB．Developing a sense of achievementC．Volunteering means a lot more.D．Building relationships with people is very important.E.
