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
Last summer, Katie Steller stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her car window. “Hey” She shouted. “I’m driving around giving free haircuts. If I go grab my chair, do you want one right now?” “No problem.” he said. “I’ll be right back.” Steller said. She drove off, went to the salon she owns, and loaded a red chair into her car. Then she drove back. The man, named Edward, took a seat, and she cut his curly graying hair. After Steller was done, Edward looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.
To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. These clients are all living on the margins, and she is fully aware of the power of her cleanup job. “It’s more than a haircut.” she says. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships.”
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers: as a teen, she suffered from a disease called ulcerative colitis (淡疡性结肠炎) that was so severe and her hair thinned suddenly. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut. “To sit down and have somebody talk to me like a person, it helped me feel cared about.” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project.
Steller listens to people’s stories of loss, addiction, and struggle to get back on their feet. The attention apparently works. When she was cutting a woman’s hair one day, someone drove by and yelled, “You look amazing!”
The woman in the chair smiled very happily. “I’m not unnoticed.” she exclaimed. “Look, people see me!” “The way you show up in the world matters.” says Steller. You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them.
1. Steller gives haircuts to those who ________.
A. live on a farm
B. live in the countryside
C. live on the margins of the city
D. live in small communities
2. What inspired Steller to start her Red Chair Project?
A. Her generosity to the poor.
B. Her skill of doing hair.
C. Her fear of being alone.
D. Her experience in illness.
3. How did the woman in the chair feel?
A Confident.
B. Cheerful.
C. Shocked.
D. Shy.
4. Which is the best title for the text?
A. The Power of Free Cuts.
B. A Successful Salon Owner.
C. Last Summer.
D. The Change of Life.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 4. A

“Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago.”
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedman. I can tell you that what they are saying is not nice and not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip (闲话). I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic — breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out — at a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor (传言) can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group.” In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority (优越).
Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do’s and don’ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.
5. The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to ________.
A. clarify his writing purpose
B. present an argument
C. describe the characters
D introduce a topic
6. An important negative effects of gossip is that it ________.
A. causes unpleasant experiences
B. embarrasses the listener
C. spreads information around
D. breaks op relationships
7. In the author’s opinion, many people like to gossip because it ________.
A. help them to make more friends
B. gives them a feeling of pleasure
C. makes them better at telling stories
D. enables them to meet important people
8. Professor David Wilson thinks that gossip can ________.
A. help people watch their own behaviors
B. provide students with written rules
C. force school to improve student handbooks
D. attract the police’s attention to group behaviors
9. What advice does the author give in the passage 7?
A. Never become a gossiper.
B. Think twice before you gossip.
C. Don’t let gossip tum into lies.
D. Stay away from gossipers.
【答案】5. D 6. A 7. B 8. A 9. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了日常生活中我们经常和好友私下谈论传播关于某人的闲话。作者把闲话流言给人们带来的影响分为三类，分别进行了论说。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段和第二段““Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori.With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago.”(“你听说上周五亚当发生什么事了吗?”林赛小声对托丽说。她的眼睛闪闪发光，Tori吹嘘道，“当然是我，Sean两天前告诉我的。”)”和文章第三段“I have noticed three effects of gossip(我注意到闲话的三种影响)”可知，作者开头引用了两个同学谈论另外一个同学的闲话，然后作者说自己注意到闲话带来的三种影响。由此可知，作者用这个谈话来引出本文的话题。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about.(八卦的一个重要的负面影响是它会伤害被谈论的人)”可知，八卦的一个重要的负面影响是它会带来不愉快的经历。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us.(如果我们知道闲话是有害的，那么为什么还有那么多人这么做呢？答案在于闲话的另一种效果：它给我们带来的满足感)”和“In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority.(换句话说，闲话是令人满意的，因为它给人一种归属感甚至优越感)”可知，在作者看来，许多人喜欢闲话是因为它给他们一种快乐的感觉。故选B。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group.(闲话还有第三种效果：它强化了关于人们应该如何行动的不成文、不成文的规则。大卫·威尔逊教授解释说，闲话在监督群体行为方面很重要)”可知，大卫·威尔逊教授认为八卦可以帮助人们观察自己的行为。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.(下次你想传播最新消息的时候，想想为什么你想说闲话，你的“有趣的故事”可能会产生什么影响)”可知，作者建议我们在说别人闲话之前要三思。故选D。
C
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither (四处), in an unmanageable course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy (狂喜) -ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness---that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature: the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what---at lest---I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux, A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressor helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole of loneliness, poverty, and pain made a mockery of what life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, and I too suffer.
This has been my life. 1have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
10. What did the author seek?
A. Love.
B. Knowledge.
C. Love and knowledge.
D. Love knowledge and the suffering of mankind.
11. According to the text, how can we describe the author?
A. Shallow and keen.
B. Lonely and tender.
C. Passionate and sympathetic.
D. Immature and optimistic.
【答案】10. C 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇散文。出自于罗素自传的序言《我为什么而活》。作者主要介绍了主宰自己一生的三种激情与渴望，一曰渴望爱情，二曰求索知识，三曰悲悯吾类之无尽苦难。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.（吾生三愿，纯朴却激越:一曰渴望爱情，二曰求索知识，三曰悲悯吾类之无尽苦难。）”可知，C选项“Love and knowledge.（爱与知识）”是作者所求。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy (狂喜) -ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy.（我寻求爱，首先是因为它使人心醉神迷——这种沉醉是如此强烈，使我常常愿意用余生去换取几个小时这样的快乐。）”可以推断作者是一个有激情的人（passionate）。根据第四段第三、四句“Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressor helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole of loneliness, poverty, and pain made a mockery of what life should be.（痛苦的呼喊在我心中回荡。忍饥挨饿的孩子，被压迫者折磨的受害者，被子女视为可憎负担的、无助的老人，以及到处都是孤独、贫穷和痛苦，使原本该有的生活成为了笑柄。）”可以推断，作者是一个富有同情心的人（sympathetic）。故选C项。
D
Someday a stranger will read your e-mall without your permission or scan the Websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse. girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen --the 2lst century equivalent of being caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is: Does that matter?
For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no.”
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me”.
But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-offcoupon (优惠券).
But privacy does mater--at least sometimes. It’s like health: When you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.
12. What does the author mean by saying “the 2lst century equivalent of being caught naked”?
A. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.
B. In the 2lst century people try every means to look into others’ secrets.
C. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.
D. People’s personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge
13. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?
A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B. There should be a distance even between friends.
C. Friends should always be faithful to each other.
D. There should be fewer disputes between friends.
14. Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”?
A. Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.
B. There are always people who are curious about others affairs.
C. People leave traces around when using modern technology.
D. Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.
15. According to the passage, privacy is like health in that ________.
A. people don’t cherish it until they lose it.
B. its importance is rarely understood.
C. it is something that can easily be lost.
D. people will make every effort to keep it
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了信息时代的隐私保护问题。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“Someday a stranger will read your e-mall without your permission or scan the Websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.（有一天，一个陌生人会在未经你允许的情况下阅读你的电子邮件或浏览你访问过的网站。或者有人会不经意地浏览你的信用卡消费或手机账单，以发现你的购物偏好或通话习惯。）”和文章第二段“In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse. girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal.（事实上，这些事情很可能已经发生在你身上了。没有你的允许谁会监视你?可能是配偶。女朋友，营销公司，老板，警察或者罪犯。）”可知，不管是谁，他们会以一种你从未想过的方式看到你——相当于在21世纪被人发现赤身裸体。划线部分的意思为“人们的个人信息很容易在他们不知情的情况下被访问”。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times.（心理学家告诉我们，保持界限是健康的，在适当的时候，分阶段地向朋友、家人和爱人展示你自己是很重要的。）”可知，心理学家建议即使是朋友之间也应该有距离。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.（你随处留下的数字“面包屑”让陌生人很容易重建你是谁，你在哪里，你喜欢什么。在某些情况下，一个简单的谷歌搜索可以揭示您的想法。不管你喜不喜欢，我们越来越生活在一个无法保守秘密的世界里。）”可推知，因为人们在使用现代科技的时候会留下痕迹。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But privacy does mater--at least sometimes. It’s like health: When you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.（但隐私确实很重要——至少有时是这样。这就像健康：当你拥有它的时候，你不会注意到它。只有当它消失时，你才会希望自己做了更多来保护它。）”可知，根据文章，隐私就像健康一样，人们直到失去时才会珍惜它。故选A。

【36题详解】

考查形容词。句意：如果你的孩子是自信的，他更有可能是坚定的，积极的，投入的，热情的和持久的。空处作表语，应用形容词determined。故填determined。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：例如，一个自信的十几岁女孩如果被男朋友甩了，她可能会难过一阵子。此处为定语从句修饰先行词a confident teenage girl，先行词在从句中作定语，故用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。

The Ex-Footballer
I eventually managed to persuade my parents to buy me a new football shirt for the school matches. My old shirt had worn out and made me depressed every time I put it on. But now I had a brand-new shirt! I was so excited. The next school match wasn’t until next week though! How could I wait that long? I couldn’t. So I decided to wear it today for the first time during a kick about in our street. I wish I hadn’t! As soon as we had been playing for ten minutes, the shirt sleeve ripped (裂开) when I made a turn. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first. “I’ll sew it back together after the match” I thought. But then I noticed that it wasn’t just the stitch (针脚) that had come out, the whole sleeve was torn. Only a professional can mend it now. I couldn’t tell my mum and dad that my new football shirt was ruined. I needed a tailor. As I walked home, feeling totally at a loss what to do, I was startled to suddenly come across a shop sign “All kinds of repairs and services!” I went inside immediately. However, I hadn’t seen the step in front of the door and I tripped into the shop hitting a wooden sculpture to the left of the entrance. When I crashed into it, it broke! I looked around the shop feeling embarrassed and blushing bright red. A man with white bushy hair said calmly, “Welcome!” “I’m sorry. I broke your sculpture.” “You’ve broken it in just the right place. This is a repair shop. Repairs are my job! I looked around the shop. I saw an iron, broken toys and a broken chair. “I guess this is the wrong place. What I really need is a tailor’s” I said, putting my fingers through the tear (裂口) in the shirt. “It’s OK. I’ve been waiting a long, long time to repair a football shirt. “Are you serious?” I held the shirt tight so he couldn’t take it from me.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
But the man didn’t let me move and took the shirt from me. “Are you a football player? ”he asked. “Yes, I play for both the street and the school team and how did you know?” I replied. “You have many years ahead of you. We may see you play for a professional team one day.” “Impossible! My dad doesn't see football as a profession. He thinks I should be an engineer, a doctor or an economist.” “Not at all. People who choose a career they really desire become successful and happy.” The man was repairing the tear with thread. He showed me the patch that he was sewing onto the tear.
Paragraph 2:
When I said “Thank you”, I noticed a photo of a football team attached to the sewing machine (缝纫机). It was a black and white photo next to the sewing machine. I couldn't make out which team it was or any of the players from where I was sitting. I asked him if he liked football. He nodded his head with passion. “Why didn't you become a football player then?” I asked. He shook with laughter. He was silent and didn’t say anything else. He put my repaired shirt in a bag and patted me on the shoulder as I started to leave. “Follow your dreams.” he said.
