A
    Avi Wortis, known simply as Avi, writes historical novels. Historical novels mix historical facts with story-tell-ing skills. These stories took place in the past. The main characters are not always real; they exist only in stories.    Avi decided to become a writer when he was a student in senior high school. This was quite a decision because he did not write well in school. He had a problem called dysgraphia, a writing disability. The problem caused people to spell words wrongly. Avi always enjoyed reading. He read many types of books as a child. Avi believed that reading is the most important activity for a person who wants to be a writer.
    Avi also believes that strong characters make strong stories. He creates characters that can help to bring his ideas to life. His books often deal with questions about life. Writing stories lets him explore many sides of a subject. His favorite part is to make improvements in his writing. For him the hardest part is writing the first draft(草稿).
    Avi's first book was published in 1970. He has since written more than 45 books. Most of them are for young-adult readers. Besides historical novels, he writes comedies (喜剧), short stories about adventures, animals and so on. The Fighting Ground, which was published in 1984, is an example of Avi's historical novels. This attractive story takes place during the American Revolutionary War.

B
    If you are invited to a wedding, baby shower or other celebrations, you will be expected to bring a gift. Unless you know the host very well, the gift should be modest in value, about $25 or so.
　　For a wedding, the bride will have “registered ( 登 记 )” at one or two local department stores, indicating the items she prefers. You can buy the couple a gift that isn’t listed, but most people buy something listed on the registry (记录簿). If you buy an item listed on the registry, be sure to tell the store that you are doing this, so that the couple doesn’t receive duplicate (重复的) gifts. For a baby shower, bring a gift appropriate for a newborn baby.
　　If you wish to give a gift when you leave to return to your country, the best gift is something unique to your country. It does not need to be especially valuable or rare. Possibilities include a book about your country, an inexpensive piece of handicraft(手工艺品)or art, or something else that reflects your culture. If the children collect coins and stamps, they would be very pleased with a set of your country’s coins or a selection of stamps from your country.
　　If you owe a debt of deep gratitude to an American host family, a common way of repaying it is to take the family to a form of entertainment, such as baseball, basketball, or a good restaurant.
　　Gift giving is not as important in America as it is in other countries, so there is nothing wrong with not giving a gift. If you need help, talk to a salesperson at a department store. Tell them about the person who will be receiving the gift and the reason for the gift, and they will help you find something appropriate.
4. Why is collecting coins mentioned in the third paragraph?
A. To show the important role of coins as gifts.
B. To stress the popularity of coin collecting in America.
C. To give an example of selecting a unique gift.
D. To explain the relation between coins and culture.

A. Introduce a way to show gratitude.
B. Add some background information.
C. Summarize(总结) the previous paragraphs.

    Would you carry around an electronic ID, not in your pocket, but in your body? Does this idea scare you or make you feel safe?
    The first computer ID chip that could be planted under a person's skin might be marketed very soon. Developed by Applied Digital, an American technology company based in Florida, the device (发明物) could meet the need for public security after the September 11 attacks. For airports, nuclear power plants and other high security facilities, the immediate effects are obvious. The technology could help put an end to false ID cards, because it would be difficult to remove and copy a tiny computer chip. The chip is as small as a grain of rice. The technology would also allow satellites to track a person's every movement and store medical records.
    These uses are already attracting interest for tasks like fighting against kidnappings, or helping with medical operations.
    But some people are afraid of the loss of privacy.
    "You always have to think about what the device could be used for tomorrow," said Lee Tien, a senior privacy lawyer in the United States.
    "At first a device is used for applications we all agree are good, but then it slowly starts being used for more than it was intended," he said.
    However, Applied Digital says it will soon apply for government permission for the device. It says that the first people to use the chip will be volunteers.
    Getting the implant (植入物) would go something like this:
    A person or company buys the chip from Applied Digital for about US $200. And the company encodes it with the desired information. The customer then takes the chip to their doctor, who can plant it with a large needle. The device has no power supply, rather it is activated (激活) by a scanner running across the skin above it. Without a scanner, the chip cannot be read.
    Even with the privacy concern, some are already eager to use the product. Jell Jacobs from Florida hopes to become the first buyer of the chip to store his medical records. Suffering from a serious illness, he wants to make sure doctors can help him quickly. Eight Latin American companies have also shown interests in the device. It could help to find any tourists who are kidnapped.
8. The best title for the passage is ______.
A. Why Is the New ID Necessary
B. Getting a New Kind of ID Under Your Skin
C. An Advertisement for Chips
D. Where to Buy the Chip
【答案】B
【解析】本题考查主旨大意题。根据第一段Would you carry around an electronic ID, not in your pocket, but in your body?和第二段The first computer ID chip that could be planted under a person's skin might be marketed very soon及下文内容可知，本文主要讲述的是安装在皮肤内的电子身份证。B项最适合做本文的标题。故选B项。
9. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. In some airports and factories such device is already being used.
B. The information on the chip can be read when it has its power supply.
C. The technology could help put an end to false ID cards.
D. The first computer ID chip has already come into the market.
【答案】C
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。根据第二段The technology could help put an end to false ID cards, because it would be difficult to remove and copy a tiny computer chip.可知，这项技术有助于帮助解决身份证造假的问题。故选C项。
10. What is the advantage with the electronic ID according to the passage?
A. It can store people's medical records and help with medical operations.
B. With this people will have no fear of losing privacy.
C. It's cheap to buy and easy to get.
D. It is developed by Applied Digital in Florida.
【答案】A
【解析】 本题考查细节理解题。根据第三段These uses are already attracting interest for tasks like fighting against kidnappings, or helping with medical operations.及最后一段Jell Jacobs from Florida hopes to become the first buyer of the chip to store his medical records.可知，这种电子身份证可以存储人们的医疗记录，帮助医疗手术。故选A项。
11. What can we learn about Jeff Jacobs?
A. He's a worker in Applied Digital, a company in Florida.
B. He's a doctor who helps plant chips on people.
C. He fears if he uses the chip he will lose privacy.
D. He's suffering from a serious illness and wants to buy the chip.
【答案】D
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。根据最后一段Jell Jacobs from Florida hopes to become the first buyer of the chip to store his medical records. Suffering from a serious illness, he wants to make sure doctors can help him quickly.可知，Jell Jacobs遭受着疾病的困扰，想成为第一个买这种芯片的人。故选D项。
D
    One morning last week I looked out of my study window and saw that it was a fine day. No, it was a glorious (极好的) day: the sun shone down from the sky without even a single cloud.
    But later that day, hard at work at my desk, I heard a loud drumming noise on the roof. Turning to the window, I saw that the sky was the colour of charcoal (木炭). Rain was beginning to fall; two minutes later the rain became hail (冰雹); at some point, the hail became snow. Rain, hail or snow, it was all wet, making rivers of water.
    This story will give you some idea about the weather in Britain. It's extremely variable. Go ahead with your picnic in the local park by all means, but don't assume that because the sun is shining now, it will be when you open your pack of sandwiches; better take an umbrella, just in case.
    The weather in Britain is by no means always bad. The weather can just seem a lot like a person who has a lot of mood swings.
    This is one of the biggest reasons why the British talk so often about the weather: it's handy. Wherever there are strangers standing or sitting close together, talk cannot be avoided, and the conversation focuses on the weather: "Yes, the weather has been good, hasn't it? Three whole days of sunshine this May!" or "What shocking weather we've been having!" The unreliability of the weather is something that every Brit can agree on. That makes it a safe topic of conversation.
    Thus, the weather's unpredictability is actually a plus for the British, a very useful bit of our culture. Even those with different opinions on everything else in the world, such as the argument in the UK about membership of the European Union, can talk about the weather without it leading to a shouting match. Long live rainstorms in mid-July!
12.Why did the writer write this article?
A. To describe his own experience of the different weather in Britain.
B. To remind people to take an umbrella whenever they have to go out in Britain.
C. To prove the uncertainty of the weather in Britain.
D. To describe the weather and the way people talk about the weather in Britain.
【答案】D
【解析】根据文章讲述了英国的天气多变，而且英国人经常谈论天气来开始谈话，这是一个安全的话题；即使是那些看法不同的人也可以谈论天气。由此可知，作者是为了描述英国的天气和人们谈论天气的方式。故选D项。
13.What is the main characteristic of British weather?
A. Changeability. B. Stability.
C. Lack of sunshine. D. Continuous rain.
【答案】A
【解析】根据第三段中的This story will give you some idea about the weather in Britain. It's extremely variable.（这个故事会让你对英国的天气有所了解。它是多变的。）以及下文提到的天气变化可知，英国的天气是多变的。故选A项。
14.Why do the British often start conversations by talking about the weather?
A. Because they seldom trust the weather forecast.
B. Because the variable weather is a safe topic of conversation.
C. Because they are all interested in predicting weather.
D. Because they like complaining about the terrible weather.
【答案】B
【解析】根据第五段中的This is one of the biggest reasons why the British talk so often about the weather: it's handy.（这就是英国人经常谈论天气的最大原因之一：天气谈起来很方便。）以及That makes it a safe topic of conversation.（这使得它成为一个安全的话题。）可知，谈话从谈论天气开始是一个安全的话题。故选B项。
15.What is the author's attitude towards the weather in Britain?
A. Negative. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
【答案】D
【解析】根据最后一段中的Even those with different opinions on everything else in the world, such as the argument in the UK about membership of the European Union, can talk about the weather without it leading to a shouting match. Long live rainstorms in mid-July!可知，对其他任何事情持有不同看法的人都可以谈论天气，而不会导致一场争吵。由此可知，作者对英国天气是持积极肯定的态度。故选D项。

Laughing is the farthest from our minds when things are not going good. We consume ourselves in sadness, tears and anger. Laughter is healthy.   (16)   Why can't we learn to laugh? It is okay to do so. Here are some ways to make that happen.
 Call or visit your best friend
       (17)   Reminisce (追忆) on funny times together and laugh a hearty laugh. If your best friend is not available, sit in your living room or in your bedroom and remember all the funny things you have experienced throughout your life. Laugh as loud as you can.
 Surround yourself with positive people
    Ask your siblings or closest friends to join you for a comedy night out.   (18)   If the movie or show turns out disappointing, don't let that turn you down. Make some innocent fun about the movie or show. Your friends or siblings will join the conversation.
    (19)  
    If you have dogs, you know how it feels to see them running towards you when you come home from work.   (20)   And now that you are back, it's play time. That will definitely put a smile on your face.

18.【答案】 E
【解析】前文“Ask your siblings or closest friends to join you for a comedy night out.”与E选项“Head out to a movie or a comedy show.”都出现了关键词comedy，都是在讲看喜剧这件事情。故选E项。
19.【答案】 B
【解析】后文“you have dogs, you know how it feels to see them run towards you when you come home from work.（你有狗，你知道当你下班回家看到它们朝你跑来是什么感觉。）”可知养宠物对于你保持微笑的作用。而B选项“Play with your pets.”（和你的宠物一起玩耍），符合本段大意。故选B项。
20.【答案】 F
【解析】根据后文“And now that you are back, it's play time.”可知，现在你回来了就要和它一起玩了，说明它等了你很久，而F选项“Your friends have waited all day—or just a few minutes—for your return.（你的朋友（宠物）已经等你一天了，或者只是几分钟等你一起玩耍。）”，符合文意。故选F项。

【答案】
Dear Editor，
It is a common phenomenon that many parents try to encourage their children to study hard and be admitted into a famous university．They promise that they will be rewarded with things such as money，traveling and so on once they achieve the goals．
However，I don't think this is a proper way．Firstly，it may lead to the fact that children's attention will focus on such things instead of the pleasure of studying．Secondly，they may stop working hard as soon as they get what they want．
I think a wise way is to make us aware of the importance of going to a good university．We should also study hard and well for our future．
Yours，
Li Hua

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个150词左右的的故事．
The Missing Plane MH370   
All the sand here is white． It feels wonderfully fresh and moist beneath my withered brown 
feet as I walk upon the barren land． I have made it a habit to make a complete tour of the region 
each day at dawn． It is nice to have something to do．
    Like each day， without fail， my first observation is my plane upon which my crew and I 
embarked on the mission to locate the missing plane MH370 of Malaysia，over the southern Indian Ocean． The voyage reflected hopelessness in itself because it had been 
well over a year since the plane had gone missing．
    As we approached the area where the MH370's radar signals had last emanated from， we 
encountered a strange cloud phenomenon—a tunnel shaped wind loomed up menacingly straight 
ahead of us． Like excess water gushing into a gutter， our plane flew directly into it， scraping its wings on the way． All of the electromagnetic instruments malfunctioned，and the magnetic compass spun inexplicably． Nobody had any idea as to what was going on． As 
the tunnel's end caught our eye shot，we expected to see clear blue skies； instead a Terraincognita
 greeted our eyesight． The sky was gray， and a small white strip of land outshining the dark green water around it， lay underneath us．
    Without resting， I trod ahead with my feet sinking in the sand of unknown origin． My planed parts stretched up to 2.75 kilometers， so I measured． The last component to be spotted was the 
landing gear of the plane， which deserted us the earliest．
    I ordered the pilots to land， because we were running low on fuel． The journey through the mystical tunnel had taken about five hours． Gazing from above， the land seemed solid， but we were caught unawares when our plane approaching at 120 knots descended into the sand． A major 
change followed， which changed the entire body of the plane．
    After a research of twenty one days， I am assured now that I am the sole survivor of the wreckage． On my first day here， I discovered some blood on the sands， without dead bodies．
Paragraph 1：
Maybe they had sunk within the earth or some other planet perhaps． Yet every day I hope to see a companion， dead or alive， whom I could lament with or grieve for．________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
Moving on， I came near the end of the island．___________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Paragraph 1：
Maybe they had sunk within the earth or some other planet perhaps． Yet every day I hope to see a companion， dead or alive， whom I could lament with or grieve for．Everything has changed since my arrival on this No Man's Land．How ever，the surroundings were barren and rugged．I didn't give up my hope．I composed letters or notes and flew it beyond the horizon， hoping that at least one of them could make it to earth，onto someone's hand，in which I recorded what had gone on and what happened to our plane and other crews．Sometimes，I even tried to explain why the MH370 was missing．Those are terrible tunnel shaped clouds．
Paragraph2：
Moving on，I came near the end of the island． Another disappointment．There was no sign of any ships or vessels or planes in the distance but green water and blue skies．I didn''t have an unlimited food supply；I had to catch fish first．I went away， expecting to greet another wonderful day．

【读后续写的答题技巧】
1．通读全文，读懂原文
通读全文首先要解决好五个W和一个H的问题，即理清人物who、地点where、时间when、事件what、原因why及怎样发展how．
2．构思情节，谋篇布局
按照原文中事件发生的逻辑性，构思好情节发展，这个发展须符合情节内在的逻辑。应该符合现实发生的真实性。所以这个环节的主要任务是谋篇布局。
3．理清逻辑，优化语言
这一部分侧重点为语言逻辑，词句结构都必须符合当时人狼大战的情景。写作不必追求高大上的词汇，相反，朴实自然、地道、贴切的词语便是好的词语。不同的写作对象应采用不同的语言风格，必须采用适当的描写侧重点。续写要抓住续这一核心，按照情节的发展进行延续，写作手法上必须以叙为主，描写上以动作描写为重心，情节的发展合乎逻辑地推进。
