Of all the American blockbusters, some popular movies are rolled out for the teenagers. With the preparation of popcorn, you can choose one of them for your teen to watch with you or their friends.
Dead Poets Society
An English teacher, called Mr. Keating, guides his students, who hope to be lawyers and doctors, to poetry and free-thinking. With each student coping with some issues, he urges them to set up the Dead Poets Society for reading and writing poems.
The Hunger Games
Based on a book by Suzanne Collins, the story is set in Panem, a destroyed country in North America. Each year, boys and girls, coming from 12 districts of Panem, take part in Hunger Games. This competition is exciting because all the participants play the games against death.
The Breakfast Club
It begins with five students at the Shermer High School, Claire, a princess, John, a criminal, Andrew, an athlete, Brian, a bookworm and Allison, an unfortunate person, who are forced to spend 9 hours together on a Saturday. In spite of their differences, they find that their social problems are more similar than they think.

John Constable was born in Suffolk, England, on 11 June, 1776. His family hoped that he would join his father's business, but he showed great interest in art when he was very young. Finally, his family allowed him to enter the Royal Academy of Arts, a very famous art college in England, at the age of twenty-three.
At the Royal Academy of Arts, he was a good student, spending all his spare time drawing and reading.
He showed his first painting in 1802. Constable believed the greatest art came from using the inspiration of nature, rather than using various techniques and imagination on art.
In his lifetime, Constable never had much money. His fame only grew after his death. He was unable to earn a living from the paintings. To support his family, Constable often drew portraits of others. But it was something he never really enjoyed. He was attracted by the beauty of the British countryside.
He sold more paintings in France than in his home country, England, at first. But when given the chance to travel to sell his paintings abroad, he said he would rather “be a poor man in England than a rich man abroad”.
Constable died in 1837. During his lifetime he got little praise in his home country for painting countryside scenery. Yet he is now considered to be one of the greatest British artists.

The majority of us have read Cinderella, the fairy tale of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone's heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默无闻). Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.
Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenage pop singer, Joey Parker, appears. Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary's and Joey's paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn't get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.
The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern-day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.
“The movie takes the Cinderella fairy tale as its jumping-off point,” writes Amber Wilkinson, a movie critic. “The focus is firmly on following your dreams.”
8.What's the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To inform us of the background of Cinderella.
B.To remind us why Cinderella is popular all the years.
C.To build interest and lead us to Mary's secret dream.
D.To tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is.
9.What can we infer from the text?
A.Joey is just like other boys in Mary's class.
B.The MP3 player helps Joey to find Mary.
C.Not many people have a dream to realize.
D.Mary's mother influences her a lot in singing.
10.What does Amber Wilkinson think of Another Cinderella Story?
A.The movie is as good as Cinderella.
B.The movie is exactly another copy of Cinderella.
C.The movie and Cinderella both focus on following your dreams.
D.The movie is based on Cinderella but a little different from it.
11.What is the text mainly about?
A.A review of a film.
B.An introduction to a book.
C.An essay about dreams.
D.An advertisement for Cinderella.

Poetry is one of mankind's oldest art forms. Since first analyzed by Aristotle, poetry has been part of every major art movement, and some say it captures emotion better than any other forms. Reading poetry is necessary to gain a full understanding of the world and has many additional benefits.
The immediate benefits of reading poetry are improvements on vocabulary. Poetry makes the reader familiar with new terms and encourages verbal analysis. This presents reading as a creative act in its own right. The common practice of memorizing poems also improves long-term brain health. Studies have shown that people who memorize and recall poems are less susceptible (易受影响) to Alzheimer's.
Poetry also improves critical thinking by forcing a reader to think. In great poetry, meaning is not obvious or one-dimensional (一维的). Understanding poetry is an active practice, rather than the passive engagement with prose (散文). Readers of poetry are more likely than nonreaders to analyze information for viewpoints. This skill benefits students, and anyone who wants to form their own opinions of news items or gain a better perspective on documents like contracts. The critical thinking skills developed through reading poetry give language itself greater control.
The most remarkable power of literature is its ability to unite readers and writers across time and cultural boundaries. As condensed (浓缩的) literature, poetry offers these benefits in a powerful way. Poetry triggers memories and emotions in its readers. This connection between universal emotions and personal experience encourages the development of empathy(共鸣). A reader might have no practical conception of what life was like during the Elizabethan era in England. However, Shakespeare's sonnets with their universal themes of love and longing, can bridge the gap of centuries and help us gain an insight into people's feelings in the 17th century.
12.Which of the following shows the benefit memorizing poetry brings to the brain?
A.It improves people's long-term memory.
B.It improves one's ability to analyse issues.
C.It makes one less likely to catch Alzheimer's.
D.It makes one act more creatively.
13.In what way does poetry improve critical thinking?
A.Readers have to analyze information to form viewpoints.
B.Readers must understand the obvious meaning of poetry.
C.Readers have to gain a better perspective upon documents.
D.Readers have to have good control over language.
14.Why does the author mention Shakespeare's sonnets?
A.To show poetry motivates us to learn different cultures.
B.To show poetry helps develop our empathy.
C.To show the universal themes of poetry.
D.To show Shakespeare's understanding of life.
15.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To ask us to read poems.
B.To show how to appreciate poems.
C.To tell the importance of poetry in history.
D.To explain the benefits of reading poetry.

Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you:listen to some soft music.
16 . This works for sleepers of all ages,and even for those with sleeping problems. Soft music can help us fall asleep faster,wake up less during the night and feel more rested in the morning. You may not notice the effects overnight,though. 17 .
Why can soft music help us sleep better? The reasons aren't clear yet. It may have something to do with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects,too. Soft music can lower our heart rate and slow down our breathing. 18 .
Scientists say that for most people,music that has 70 beats per minute works best. 19 . Familiar songs work well, too. You may need to experiment to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute,you can find out by entering its title into songbpm.com. And remember to get the volume right. 20 . Otherwise,you may be woken up by the sudden silence.
It is very important to get enough high-quality sleep. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music. Then, just prepare to be rocked off to dreamland!
A.This prepares us for sleep
B.Make sure that the final piece is one that slowly fades out
C.It would take as many as three weeks to see any improvement

South Korean artist Young-Sung Kim has a very special talent—he can paint photographs. The old saying “I'll believe it when I see it” doesn't really apply to Kim's art.

It was the day of the poetry festival, and I was 36 (excite). At my old school, I had won the poetry ribbon every year. I did write good poetry. When Mrs. Baker called me, I stood up. I didn't even bother to look at my paper. I'd spent so much time 37 (perfect) the rhymes, and counting the 38 (beat) that I knew the poem by heart. I had just started the third verse when I noticed Mrs. Baker was glaring at me. “Linda, you 39 (suppose) to be reading an original work, a poem you made up yourself, not reciting something you learned.” I opened my mouth to explain, but no words came out. “You will leave the room and will not return until you are ready 40 (apologize),” said Mrs. Baker. “Now, go!” I turned and left the room. I'd been standing outside for about half an hour when Joseph, another school teacher, came over to ask me why. As Joseph waited 41 me to answer, he looked so kind and sympathetic 42 I poured out the whole story, trying not to cry. “Linda, accepting defeat when you should stand up for 43 (you) can become a very dangerous habit. You know you are the only Linda Brown in the whole world.” 44 (he)eyes smiling into mine, I took a deep breath and 45 (knock) on the classroom door, ready to face Mrs. Baker—recite my poem.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Look inside any family home in the evening, and you might see a scene that is typical enough: Mom and Dad, each on their own laptop or tablet, streaming movies, catching up on work or maybe answering emails on their smartphones. Meanwhile, one child is chatting online with one school friend while texting another. The other is playing a video game with a friend on the other side of the city at the same time. Each member of the family is totally absorbed in his or her own piece of technology.
According to some experts, the effect of technology on human relationships is worrying as technology becomes a substitute for face-to-face human relationships. It appears to be the case that many people would much rather spend time with their electronic gadgets (电子产品) than with one another. Young people say it is difficult to get their parents' attention and they have to compete with smartphones, tablets and other technology.
However, a report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project offers a more helpful and encouraging view, suggesting that far from replacing human contact, technology can actually better family relationships. Just over half of the 2,253 people surveyed agreed that technology had enabled them to increase their contact with distant family members and 47 percent said it had improved the communication with the people they lived with. Moreover, even the closest members of families need time away from each other at some point to seek their own interests. Family members who might otherwise have sat in separate rooms can now be in the same one while still occupying a different mental space.
Look back at our typical family scene above. Is it any different from four people reading their own books? Or is it driving families apart?Where technology will lead us remains to be seen. Yet there is no need to worry. As a matter of fact, how it affects our family relationships depends on our attitude toward technology.

第一部分 阅读
第一节
A
◎语篇解读 这是一篇应用文。文章推荐了四部适合青少年看的电影。
1.B 细节理解题。根据Dead Poets Society中的内容可知,Mr. Keating引导着他那些希望成为律师和医生的学生学习诗歌和自由思考。在每个学生都要处理一些问题的情况下,他敦促他们成立the Dead Poets Society来阅读和写诗。由此可知,Mr. Keating帮助青少年成立了Dead Poets Society。故选B。
2.C 细节理解题。根据The Hunger Games中的Based on a book by Suzanne Collins, the story is set in Panem, a destroyed country in North America.可知,电影The Hunger Games改编自一本书。故选C。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,在所有的美国大片中,一些受欢迎的电影是为青少年推出的。在准备爆米花的过程中,你可以选择其中一个让你的孩子和你或者他们的朋友一起观看。由此推知,这篇文章最可能是写给父母的。故选D。
【高频词汇】 1.cope with处理,应付 2.be based on根据;以……为基础 3.be set in以……为背景 4.take part in参加
5.competition n. 竞争;比赛 6.begin with以……开始 7.in spite of尽管;不顾 8.disconnect sb. from...将某人与……断开
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了英国最伟大的艺术家之一John Constable的主要人生经历。
4.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的His family hoped...when he was very young.可知,他的家人希望他能加入父亲的事业,但他很小的时候就对艺术表现出极大的兴趣。因此John Constable学习绘画是因为他对绘画感兴趣。故选A。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,在英国皇家美术学院,他是个好学生,把所有业余时间都花在绘画和阅读上。因此英国在皇家美术学院,John Constable是非常努力的。A项与文章描述相反,不正确;B项文章未提及;由第四段第二句His fame only grew after his death.(他死后才出名)可知,D项不正确。故选C。
6.B 细节理解题。根据第五段中的He sold more paintings in France than in his home country, England, at first.可知,他的画一开始在法国比在英国卖得好,故B项正确。由第三段第二句Constable believed...techniques and imagination on art.(Constable认为,最伟大的艺术来自运用自然的灵感,而不是在艺术上运用各种技巧和想象力。)可知,A项“他认为技巧是艺术绘画中最重要的。”不正确;由第四段中的To support his family...really enjoyed.(为了养家糊口,Constable经常给别人画肖像,但这是他从来没有真正喜欢过的事情。)可知,他对画肖像不感兴趣,故C项不正确;由第四段第三句He was unable to earn a living from the paintings.(他无法靠这些画谋生。)可知,他没有通过画画致富,故D项不正确。故选B。
7.D 推理判断题。根据第五段可知,他的画在法国卖得比在自己的国家多。但当他有机会去国外卖画时,他说他宁愿在英国当穷人,也不愿在国外当富人,因此我们可以看出John Constable非常热爱他的国家。A项“John Constable愿意前往法国。”、B项“John Constable厌倦了贫穷。”和C项“John Constable不想卖他的画。”都与该段描述不符。故选D。
【高频词汇】 1.show interest in对……感兴趣 2.inspiration n.灵感 3.imagination n.想象;想象力 4.fame n.名声;名望 5.attract v.吸引 6.be tired of对……厌烦
原句 But when given the chance to travel to sell his paintings abroad, he said he would rather “be a poor man in England than a rich man abroad.”
分析 本句为主从复合句。when given the chance to travel to sell his paintings abroad是when引导的时间状语从句when he was given...的省略;he would rather “be a poor man in England than a rich man abroad.”是省略引导词that的宾语从句, would rather...than...意为“宁愿……而不愿……”。
句意 但是当他有机会去国外卖画时,他说他宁愿“在英国做个穷人,也不愿在国外做个富人”。
C
◎语篇解读 这是一篇影评。每个人也许都有一个灰姑娘的梦想,文章介绍了一部名为Another Cinderella Story的电影,讲述了电影的剧情以及与《灰姑娘》原著的比较。
8.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中Some might not want to admit it...Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too.可知,本段作为引出文章主题的段落,从《灰姑娘》的故事展开,继而将话题转向Mary的故事,也就是要介绍的这部电影,C选项符合题意。故选C项。
9.B 推理判断题。根据第二段中But when Mary has to rush back home...his dreams.可知,就像《灰姑娘》的剧情一样,Mary匆匆离去只留下一个MP3,而这就成了Joey寻找她的唯一线索,最终也势必是通过这个MP3找到Mary的,与B选项说法相符。由第二段第三句Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. 可知,A项“乔伊就和玛丽班上其他男孩一样。”不正确;由第一段第二句Some might not want to admit it...a period of obscurity(默默无闻).可知C项“没有多少人有梦想要实现。”不正确;D项“玛丽的母亲在歌唱方面对她影响很大。”在文中未提及。故选B项。
10.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段引述Amber Wilkinson的原话“The movie takes the Cinderella fairy tale as its jumping-off point”以及“The focus is firmly on following your dreams.”可知,这部电影以《灰姑娘》的故事作为出发点、立足点,也就是根据其改编,但电影的重心则落在了追求梦想上,与原故事是有区别的。故选D项。
11.A 主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段最后一句Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.可知,文章由《灰姑娘》的故事引出一部电影,然后介绍剧情,最后引述影评人的评价,是一篇标准的影评。故选A项。
【高频词汇】 1.majority n.大多数 2.achieve v.完成;达到;实现 3.recognition n.承认;认出;赏识;赞誉 4.compared with 与……比较 5.fall in love with 爱上…… 6.turn out v.结果是;证明是 7.determined adj.坚决的;决心 8.focus on 集中在
D
◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章叙述了诗歌拥有无限魅力,并充当着各个时间、地域和文化之间的桥梁。
12.C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句Studies have shown that people who memorize and recall poems are less susceptible(易受影响) to Alzheimer's.可知,研究表明,能记住和回忆诗歌的人不太容易患老年痴呆症。故选C项。
13.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的Poetry also improves critical thinking by forcing a reader to think.和Readers of poetry are more likely than nonreaders to analyze information for viewpoints.可知,诗歌的读者比非读者更倾向于分析信息以获取观点,所以诗歌的读者可以分析信息形成观点,来提高批判性思维。由第三段第二句“在伟大的诗歌中,意义不是显而易见的或一维的”可知,B项“读者必须理解诗歌的明显含义。”无法形成批判性思维;由第三段倒数第二句“这种技能有利于学生,也有利于任何想要形成自己对新东西的意见,或在文件如合同上获得更好理解的人。”可知,C项“读者必须对文件有更好的认识。”不符合文意;由第三段最后一句“通过阅读诗歌培养的批判性思维能力对语言本身具有更强的控制力。”可知,D项“读者必须对语言有很好的掌握。”不符合文意。故选A项。
14.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段的However, Shakespeare's sonnets...in the 17th century.可知,莎士比亚的十四行诗以爱和渴望为主题,跨越了几个世纪的鸿沟,帮助我们了解17世纪人们的感受。所以作者提到莎士比亚的目的是让读者感同身受、产生共鸣。A项“来表明诗歌激励我们学习不同的文化”、C项“来展示诗歌的普遍主题”及D项“来表明莎士比亚对生命的理解”均不是作者的目的。故选B项。
15.D 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了阅读诗歌给读者带来的益处,并且指出诗歌对文化的传播和继承起到了重要的作用,所以文章的主要目的是解释阅读诗歌的好处。文章并未直接呼吁大家去读诗歌,所以A项不正确;B项“表明如何欣赏诗歌”和C项“讲述诗歌在历史上的重要性”在文中均未提到。故选D项。
【高频词汇】 1.capture v.表达;捕获;夺得 2.memorize v.记住 3.remarkable adj.显著的;引人注目的 4.boundary n.边界;界限 5.insight into洞悉;了解
第二节
◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们轻音乐有助于我们提高睡眠质量,增加睡眠时间。
16.F 设空处后提到“这(个方法)对所有年龄段的睡眠者都有效,甚至对那些有睡眠问题的人也有效”。同时设空处后第二句话也提到了“轻音乐可以帮助我们更快地入睡,在晚上少醒来,在早上感觉精力更充沛”。由此可知,F项“科学家发现,轻音乐可以帮助提高睡眠质量和增加睡眠时间”统领下文,且设空处后的This指代“轻音乐提高睡眠质量和增加睡眠时间”这个发现。故选F项。
17.C 根据前句“不过,你可能不会在一夜之间注意到这些效果”可知,C项“可能需要长达三周的时间才能看到任何改善”是对前句进行补充说明。故选C项。
18.A 根据前句“轻音乐可以降低我们的心率和呼吸速度”可知,A项“这为我们睡觉做准备”和前句构成因果关系。故选A项。
19.E 根据前句“科学家说,对大多数人来说,每分钟70拍的音乐效果最好”可知,E选项“古典音乐、爵士乐和民俗音乐通常比其他音乐风格更有效”是对前句进行补充说明。故选E项。
20.B 根据设空处后“否则,你可能会被突然的寂静叫醒”可知,B项“确保最后一首是慢慢弱下去的”符合语境。故选B项。
【高频词汇】 1.have difficulty (in) doing sth.做某事有困难
2.fall asleep入睡 3.have something to do with...与……有关
4.fade out(声音)渐弱;(画面)淡出 5.improvement n.改善;改进
原句 If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into songbpm. com.
分析 本句是主从复合句。If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute是If引导的条件状语从句;该从句也是主从复合句,其中how many beats a song has in a minute是how many引导的宾语从句。
句意 如果你不确定一首歌在一分钟内有多少拍,你可以通过在songbpm.com(网站)上输入歌名来弄清。
第二部分 语言运用
第一节

21.C 考查形容词词义辨析。你可以盯着他那精细到令人难以相信的画看上几个小时,仍然无法将它们与照片区分开来。happy快乐的;unwilling不情愿的;unable不能的;eager渴望的。由前两句可知,Kim有一个非常特殊的天赋,他会画照片。“眼见为实”在他的身上已经不适用,因为人们不能将他的画和拍摄的照片区分开。故选C。
22.B 考查形容词词义辨析。这位艺术家非常擅长画照片,而且有时,他自己也很难从照片中分辨出自己的写实画。abstract抽象的;realistic逼真的;traditional传统的;modern现代的。由下文he is highly 32 as one of the world's realistic painters中的realistic可知,他是一名写实画家。故选B。
23.C 考查连词词义辨析。有一次,他错误地给出版社发了一张他拍的照片,而不是他画的画,因为它们看起来几乎一样。unless除非;though尽管;because因为;when当……时。空格前后是因果关系,选择because合乎语境。故选C。

27.A 考查副词词义辨析。Kim说:“我向自己保证长大后会把它们画得完美。”perfectly完美地;carefully认真地;seriously严肃地;elegantly优雅地。小时候他画画的水平不及现在,但他想变得更优秀,因此他许诺长大后要将它们画得“完美”,选择perfectly合乎语境。故选A。
28.C 考查动词词义辨析。他的父母担心他找不到好工作。expect期待;imagine想象;fear担忧;suggest建议。父母不支持他的原因在于“担忧”他找不到好工作,选择fear合乎语境。故选C。

33.A 考查副词词义辨析。即使在周末,Kim每天也要画画12个小时以上。even即使;seldom很少;yet还;just只是。他热爱画画,有自己的梦想,因此填even,表示即使在周末,他还画很长时间,很少休息,就为了追求梦想。故选A。
34.D 考查形容词词义辨析。但Kim对自己的工作并没有感到完全满意。bored觉得无聊的;patient耐心的;angry生气的;happy满意的。由后文的get as close to that 100-point mark as possible可知,他想让自己的作品达到满分,因此他并不满足于现在的水平,be happy with意为“对……满意”。故选D。
35.A 考查代词词义辨析。Kim把自己的作品满分定为100分,但几乎没有一幅作品的评分超过90分。none没有;some一些;many许多;all全部。由but表示的转折关系可知,几乎没有作品达到90分以上,这就有了下一句中的“Kim想提高自己,让自己的作品尽可能接近100分”。故选A。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍作者参加学校的诗歌节,被老师Baker太太误解是背诵别人的诗歌,却不敢反驳,另外一个老师Joseph鼓励她要勇敢为自己辩护。
36.excited 考查词性转换。句意:诗歌节到了,我很兴奋。主语是I,修饰人用excited,意为“感到兴奋的”。

38.beats 考查名词复数。句意:我花了很多时间完善我的押韵词,数节拍……。句中beat是可数名词,意为“节拍”,此处表示复数意义,所以用复数形式beats。

45.knocked 考查动词的时态。句意:……我深深地吸了一口气,敲了敲教室的门,准备面对Baker太太——朗诵我的诗。分析句子结构可知,took与设空处是由并列连词and连接的并列结构,故填knocked。

John Constable was born in Suffolk, England, on 11 June, 1776. His family hoped that he would join his father's business, but he showed great interest in art when he was very young. Finally, his family allowed him to enter the Royal Academy of Arts, a very famous art college in England, at the age of twenty-three.
At the Royal Academy of Arts, he was a good student, spending all his spare time drawing and reading.
He showed his first painting in 1802. Constable believed the greatest art came from using the inspiration of nature, rather than using various techniques and imagination on art.
In his lifetime, Constable never had much money. His fame only grew after his death. He was unable to earn a living from the paintings. To support his family, Constable often drew portraits of others. But it was something he never really enjoyed. He was attracted by the beauty of the British countryside.
He sold more paintings in France than in his home country, England, at first. But when given the chance to travel to sell his paintings abroad, he said he would rather “be a poor man in England than a rich man abroad”.
Constable died in 1837. During his lifetime he got little praise in his home country for painting countryside scenery. Yet he is now considered to be one of the greatest British artists.

The majority of us have read Cinderella, the fairy tale of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone's heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默无闻). Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.
Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenage pop singer, Joey Parker, appears. Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary's and Joey's paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn't get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.
The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern-day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.
“The movie takes the Cinderella fairy tale as its jumping-off point,” writes Amber Wilkinson, a movie critic. “The focus is firmly on following your dreams.”

B.To remind us why Cinderella is popular all the years.
C.To build interest and lead us to Mary's secret dream.
D.To tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is.
9.What can we infer from the text?
A.Joey is just like other boys in Mary's class.
B.The MP3 player helps Joey to find Mary.
C.Not many people have a dream to realize.
D.Mary's mother influences her a lot in singing.
10.What does Amber Wilkinson think of Another Cinderella Story?
A.The movie is as good as Cinderella.
B.The movie is exactly another copy of Cinderella.
C.The movie and Cinderella both focus on following your dreams.
D.The movie is based on Cinderella but a little different from it.
11.What is the text mainly about?
A.A review of a film.
B.An introduction to a book.
C.An essay about dreams.
D.An advertisement for Cinderella.

Poetry is one of mankind's oldest art forms. Since first analyzed by Aristotle, poetry has been part of every major art movement, and some say it captures emotion better than any other forms. Reading poetry is necessary to gain a full understanding of the world and has many additional benefits.
The immediate benefits of reading poetry are improvements on vocabulary. Poetry makes the reader familiar with new terms and encourages verbal analysis. This presents reading as a creative act in its own right. The common practice of memorizing poems also improves long-term brain health. Studies have shown that people who memorize and recall poems are less susceptible (易受影响) to Alzheimer's.
Poetry also improves critical thinking by forcing a reader to think. In great poetry, meaning is not obvious or one-dimensional (一维的). Understanding poetry is an active practice, rather than the passive engagement with prose (散文). Readers of poetry are more likely than nonreaders to analyze information for viewpoints. This skill benefits students, and anyone who wants to form their own opinions of news items or gain a better perspective on documents like contracts. The critical thinking skills developed through reading poetry give language itself greater control.
The most remarkable power of literature is its ability to unite readers and writers across time and cultural boundaries. As condensed (浓缩的) literature, poetry offers these benefits in a powerful way. Poetry triggers memories and emotions in its readers. This connection between universal emotions and personal experience encourages the development of empathy(共鸣). A reader might have no practical conception of what life was like during the Elizabethan era in England. However, Shakespeare's sonnets with their universal themes of love and longing, can bridge the gap of centuries and help us gain an insight into people's feelings in the 17th century.
12.Which of the following shows the benefit memorizing poetry brings to the brain?
A.It improves people's long-term memory.
B.It improves one's ability to analyse issues.
C.It makes one less likely to catch Alzheimer's.
D.It makes one act more creatively.
13.In what way does poetry improve critical thinking?
A.Readers have to analyze information to form viewpoints.
B.Readers must understand the obvious meaning of poetry.
C.Readers have to gain a better perspective upon documents.
D.Readers have to have good control over language.
14.Why does the author mention Shakespeare's sonnets?
A.To show poetry motivates us to learn different cultures.
B.To show poetry helps develop our empathy.
C.To show the universal themes of poetry.
D.To show Shakespeare's understanding of life.
15.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To ask us to read poems.
B.To show how to appreciate poems.
C.To tell the importance of poetry in history.
D.To explain the benefits of reading poetry.

Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you:listen to some soft music.
16 . This works for sleepers of all ages,and even for those with sleeping problems. Soft music can help us fall asleep faster,wake up less during the night and feel more rested in the morning. You may not notice the effects overnight,though. 17 .
Why can soft music help us sleep better? The reasons aren't clear yet. It may have something to do with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects,too. Soft music can lower our heart rate and slow down our breathing. 18 .
Scientists say that for most people,music that has 70 beats per minute works best. 19 . Familiar songs work well, too. You may need to experiment to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute,you can find out by entering its title into songbpm.com. And remember to get the volume right. 20 . Otherwise,you may be woken up by the sudden silence.

B.Make sure that the final piece is one that slowly fades out

It was the day of the poetry festival, and I was 36 (excite). At my old school, I had won the poetry ribbon every year. I did write good poetry. When Mrs. Baker called me, I stood up. I didn't even bother to look at my paper. I'd spent so much time 37 (perfect) the rhymes, and counting the 38 (beat) that I knew the poem by heart. I had just started the third verse when I noticed Mrs. Baker was glaring at me. “Linda, you 39 (suppose) to be reading an original work, a poem you made up yourself, not reciting something you learned.” I opened my mouth to explain, but no words came out. “You will leave the room and will not return until you are ready 40 (apologize),” said Mrs. Baker. “Now, go!” I turned and left the room. I'd been standing outside for about half an hour when Joseph, another school teacher, came over to ask me why. As Joseph waited 41 me to answer, he looked so kind and sympathetic 42 I poured out the whole story, trying not to cry. “Linda, accepting defeat when you should stand up for 43 (you) can become a very dangerous habit. You know you are the only Linda Brown in the whole world.” 44 (he)eyes smiling into mine, I took a deep breath and 45 (knock) on the classroom door, ready to face Mrs. Baker—recite my poem.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Look inside any family home in the evening, and you might see a scene that is typical enough: Mom and Dad, each on their own laptop or tablet, streaming movies, catching up on work or maybe answering emails on their smartphones. Meanwhile, one child is chatting online with one school friend while texting another. The other is playing a video game with a friend on the other side of the city at the same time. Each member of the family is totally absorbed in his or her own piece of technology.
According to some experts, the effect of technology on human relationships is worrying as technology becomes a substitute for face-to-face human relationships. It appears to be the case that many people would much rather spend time with their electronic gadgets (电子产品) than with one another. Young people say it is difficult to get their parents' attention and they have to compete with smartphones, tablets and other technology.
However, a report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project offers a more helpful and encouraging view, suggesting that far from replacing human contact, technology can actually better family relationships. Just over half of the 2,253 people surveyed agreed that technology had enabled them to increase their contact with distant family members and 47 percent said it had improved the communication with the people they lived with. Moreover, even the closest members of families need time away from each other at some point to seek their own interests. Family members who might otherwise have sat in separate rooms can now be in the same one while still occupying a different mental space.
Look back at our typical family scene above. Is it any different from four people reading their own books? Or is it driving families apart?Where technology will lead us remains to be seen. Yet there is no need to worry. As a matter of fact, how it affects our family relationships depends on our attitude toward technology.

6.B 细节理解题。根据第五段中的He sold more paintings in France than in his home country, England, at first.可知,他的画一开始在法国比在英国卖得好,故B项正确。由第三段第二句Constable believed...techniques and imagination on art.(Constable认为,最伟大的艺术来自运用自然的灵感,而不是在艺术上运用各种技巧和想象力。)可知,A项“他认为技巧是艺术绘画中最重要的。”不正确;由第四段中的To support his family...really enjoyed.(为了养家糊口,Constable经常给别人画肖像,但这是他从来没有真正喜欢过的事情。)可知,他对画肖像不感兴趣,故C项不正确;由第四段第三句He was unable to earn a living from the paintings.(他无法靠这些画谋生。)可知,他没有通过画画致富,故D项不正确。故选B。
7.D 推理判断题。根据第五段可知,他的画在法国卖得比在自己的国家多。但当他有机会去国外卖画时,他说他宁愿在英国当穷人,也不愿在国外当富人,因此我们可以看出John Constable非常热爱他的国家。A项“John Constable愿意前往法国。”、B项“John Constable厌倦了贫穷。”和C项“John Constable不想卖他的画。”都与该段描述不符。故选D。
【高频词汇】 1.show interest in对……感兴趣 2.inspiration n.灵感 3.imagination n.想象;想象力 4.fame n.名声;名望 5.attract v.吸引 6.be tired of对……厌烦
原句 But when given the chance to travel to sell his paintings abroad, he said he would rather “be a poor man in England than a rich man abroad.”
分析 本句为主从复合句。when given the chance to travel to sell his paintings abroad是when引导的时间状语从句when he was given...的省略;he would rather “be a poor man in England than a rich man abroad.”是省略引导词that的宾语从句, would rather...than...意为“宁愿……而不愿……”。
句意 但是当他有机会去国外卖画时,他说他宁愿“在英国做个穷人,也不愿在国外做个富人”。
C
◎语篇解读 这是一篇影评。每个人也许都有一个灰姑娘的梦想,文章介绍了一部名为Another Cinderella Story的电影,讲述了电影的剧情以及与《灰姑娘》原著的比较。
8.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中Some might not want to admit it...Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too.可知,本段作为引出文章主题的段落,从《灰姑娘》的故事展开,继而将话题转向Mary的故事,也就是要介绍的这部电影,C选项符合题意。故选C项。
9.B 推理判断题。根据第二段中But when Mary has to rush back home...his dreams.可知,就像《灰姑娘》的剧情一样,Mary匆匆离去只留下一个MP3,而这就成了Joey寻找她的唯一线索,最终也势必是通过这个MP3找到Mary的,与B选项说法相符。由第二段第三句Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. 可知,A项“乔伊就和玛丽班上其他男孩一样。”不正确;由第一段第二句Some might not want to admit it...a period of obscurity(默默无闻).可知C项“没有多少人有梦想要实现。”不正确;D项“玛丽的母亲在歌唱方面对她影响很大。”在文中未提及。故选B项。
10.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段引述Amber Wilkinson的原话“The movie takes the Cinderella fairy tale as its jumping-off point”以及“The focus is firmly on following your dreams.”可知,这部电影以《灰姑娘》的故事作为出发点、立足点,也就是根据其改编,但电影的重心则落在了追求梦想上,与原故事是有区别的。故选D项。
11.A 主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段最后一句Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.可知,文章由《灰姑娘》的故事引出一部电影,然后介绍剧情,最后引述影评人的评价,是一篇标准的影评。故选A项。
【高频词汇】 1.majority n.大多数 2.achieve v.完成;达到;实现 3.recognition n.承认;认出;赏识;赞誉 4.compared with 与……比较 5.fall in love with 爱上…… 6.turn out v.结果是;证明是 7.determined adj.坚决的;决心 8.focus on 集中在
D
◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章叙述了诗歌拥有无限魅力,并充当着各个时间、地域和文化之间的桥梁。
12.C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句Studies have shown that people who memorize and recall poems are less susceptible(易受影响) to Alzheimer's.可知,研究表明,能记住和回忆诗歌的人不太容易患老年痴呆症。故选C项。
13.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的Poetry also improves critical thinking by forcing a reader to think.和Readers of poetry are more likely than nonreaders to analyze information for viewpoints.可知,诗歌的读者比非读者更倾向于分析信息以获取观点,所以诗歌的读者可以分析信息形成观点,来提高批判性思维。由第三段第二句“在伟大的诗歌中,意义不是显而易见的或一维的”可知,B项“读者必须理解诗歌的明显含义。”无法形成批判性思维;由第三段倒数第二句“这种技能有利于学生,也有利于任何想要形成自己对新东西的意见,或在文件如合同上获得更好理解的人。”可知,C项“读者必须对文件有更好的认识。”不符合文意;由第三段最后一句“通过阅读诗歌培养的批判性思维能力对语言本身具有更强的控制力。”可知,D项“读者必须对语言有很好的掌握。”不符合文意。故选A项。
14.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段的However, Shakespeare's sonnets...in the 17th century.可知,莎士比亚的十四行诗以爱和渴望为主题,跨越了几个世纪的鸿沟,帮助我们了解17世纪人们的感受。所以作者提到莎士比亚的目的是让读者感同身受、产生共鸣。A项“来表明诗歌激励我们学习不同的文化”、C项“来展示诗歌的普遍主题”及D项“来表明莎士比亚对生命的理解”均不是作者的目的。故选B项。
15.D 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了阅读诗歌给读者带来的益处,并且指出诗歌对文化的传播和继承起到了重要的作用,所以文章的主要目的是解释阅读诗歌的好处。文章并未直接呼吁大家去读诗歌,所以A项不正确;B项“表明如何欣赏诗歌”和C项“讲述诗歌在历史上的重要性”在文中均未提到。故选D项。
【高频词汇】 1.capture v.表达;捕获;夺得 2.memorize v.记住 3.remarkable adj.显著的;引人注目的 4.boundary n.边界;界限 5.insight into洞悉;了解
第二节
◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们轻音乐有助于我们提高睡眠质量,增加睡眠时间。
16.F 设空处后提到“这(个方法)对所有年龄段的睡眠者都有效,甚至对那些有睡眠问题的人也有效”。同时设空处后第二句话也提到了“轻音乐可以帮助我们更快地入睡,在晚上少醒来,在早上感觉精力更充沛”。由此可知,F项“科学家发现,轻音乐可以帮助提高睡眠质量和增加睡眠时间”统领下文,且设空处后的This指代“轻音乐提高睡眠质量和增加睡眠时间”这个发现。故选F项。
17.C 根据前句“不过,你可能不会在一夜之间注意到这些效果”可知,C项“可能需要长达三周的时间才能看到任何改善”是对前句进行补充说明。故选C项。
18.A 根据前句“轻音乐可以降低我们的心率和呼吸速度”可知,A项“这为我们睡觉做准备”和前句构成因果关系。故选A项。
19.E 根据前句“科学家说,对大多数人来说,每分钟70拍的音乐效果最好”可知,E选项“古典音乐、爵士乐和民俗音乐通常比其他音乐风格更有效”是对前句进行补充说明。故选E项。
20.B 根据设空处后“否则,你可能会被突然的寂静叫醒”可知,B项“确保最后一首是慢慢弱下去的”符合语境。故选B项。
【高频词汇】 1.have difficulty (in) doing sth.做某事有困难
2.fall asleep入睡 3.have something to do with...与……有关
4.fade out(声音)渐弱;(画面)淡出 5.improvement n.改善;改进
原句 If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into songbpm. com.
分析 本句是主从复合句。If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute是If引导的条件状语从句;该从句也是主从复合句,其中how many beats a song has in a minute是how many引导的宾语从句。
句意 如果你不确定一首歌在一分钟内有多少拍,你可以通过在songbpm.com(网站)上输入歌名来弄清。
