B
He was there every morning sitting motionless on the front steps of his house. In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched (蚀刻) deep within the lines surrounding his eyes.
Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her kindergarten class. We were new to the neighborhood so that I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgoing child, I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm. But her cheerfulness soon faded when the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.
As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “Maybe he is having a bad day.” later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.
A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didn’t respond. But then she ran onto his front lawn and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.
As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he acknowledged her. In a soft gentle voice, he tanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”
From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greeting each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years. But, the sweetest day is when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation. Bob gave my daughter a gift — a book on identifying various plants and trees. There, tucked in the pages that described an oak tree, was the leaf my daughter had given to Mr. Man when they first met. He had dried and pressed it and kept it all those years.
4. What puzzled the girl?
A. The cause of the man’s sadness.
B. The shadows in the man’s eyes.
C. The man’s sitting still on the steps.
D. The man’s not answering her greeting.
5. How did the author feel when his daughter gave the red leaf to the man?
A. Proud. B. Nervous.
C. Embarrassed. D. Comfortable.
6. Why did Bob keep that little red leaf?
A. It was a care from a girl.
B. It was a symbol of enthusiasm.
C. It was a reminder of his painful days.
D. It represented the knowledge of trees.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A Simple Red Leaf B. A Strange Neighbor

【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者的女儿是一个活泼外向的女孩子，看到了悲伤的Bob，主动打招呼，却没有得到回应。后来知道了这个男人的悲伤，于是送给他一片红秋叶，温暖了他，从此开始了他们之间的友谊。这告诉我们人在悲伤时一个小小的善意的举动能变一个人的痛苦。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her.(当我们继续往学校走的时候，我女儿问那个男人为什么不想和她打招呼)”可知，女孩对于那个男人不和她打招呼很困惑。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched (蚀刻) deep within the lines surrounding his eyes.(在晨曦中，我能看到他的眼睛周围深深的阴影)”和第四段中的“But then she ran onto his front lawn and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.(然后她跑到他家门前的草坪上，捡起一片美丽的红色秋叶。她继续上了一级台阶，把它递给他。我屏住呼吸)”及前文可知，这个男人在车祸中失去了妻子，女儿多次与之打招呼都置之不理，所以作者是紧张的心理。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中所述可知，Bob在车祸中失去妻子之后，心情极度低落，而作者的女儿却与他打招呼，即使他没有反应，甚至于送给他一片红色的秋叶，这一切都表达了小姑娘对他的关心。由此推知，Bob留着那片小红叶，因为那是一个女孩的关心。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的叙述是作者的女儿送给Bob一片红色的秋叶才打破了僵局，也温暖了Bob的心。由此可知，A Simple Red Leaf (一片简单的红叶)适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。
C
Blind people usually possess one advantage over other people who can see. Their sense of hearing is far more acute. Bats, whose sight is poor, use a sound location system to help them avoid blocks in the dark. They send out pulses of sound waves, pitched at 50,000 cycles per second, far above the limits of the human ear, which can hear sounds up to frequencies of about 20,000 cycles per second. As the echoes bounce back off obstacles such as trees and walls, the bats are able to take proper action.
The first steps to help blind people to see with sound are based on exactly the same principle. The sound is given off by an ultrasonic (超声的) torch, whose shape is different from a normal electric torch. It is double-barreled. It works in a similar way to a sonar (声呐) unit on a warship or submarine. The unit’s transmitter sends out pulses of ultrasonic waves at the same frequency as the bat and the receiver picks up the returning echoes. Because these are still above the frequency at which the human ear can pick them up. The echoes are filtered (过滤) through circuits that turn them into “bleeps” which can be clearly heard before passing them into headphones.
This means that a person holding the torch can point it ahead of him and scan the area for obstacles over a range of about 25 feet. If there are no return echoes coming through the headphones, then there is nothing in the way. If echoes do come back, then the closer the obstruction the faster the succession of bleeps and the deeper the pitch of each bleep. With practice, the torch could help a blind person to lead a more normal life.
At present, the experimental ultrasonic torch requires a shoulder bag to carry the batteries, cables for the power supplies and earphones, as well as the torch itself. Fortunately, reducing the size of the electronic equipment is progressing and it should not be long before the whole set-up can be reproduced in a form small enough to fit into a pair of glasses. The wearer would face in the direction he wanted to check, and lift or lower his head just as a sighted person would.
8. Which statement of the following is NOT true according to the article?
A. Bats can avoid blocks in the dark.
B. Blind people have more acute sense of hearing than normal people.
C. The ultrasonic torch doesn’t send out the same pulse frequency as the bat does.
D. The shape of ultrasonic torch is different from a normal electric torch.
9. What is the ultrasonic torch used for?
a. Helping the blind to walk.
b. Helping deaf children to watch sports.
c. Helping the blind to lead a better life.
d. Being used in a warship or submarine during a war.
A. a b B. a c C. a d D. b c
10. What can we infer from this article?
A. The ultrasonic glasses have been produced.
B. The blind with the ultrasonic torch can walk themselves.
C. The blind should not go further without return echoes.
D. The experimental ultrasonic torch is easy to carry.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The ultrasonic torch can improve the life of the blind.
B. Animals can help scientist invent new equipment.
C. The technology is progressing rapidly.
D. The ultrasonic torch is not easy to carry now.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了超声波手电筒可以改善盲人的生活。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The unit’s transmitter sends out pulses of ultrasonic waves at the same frequency as the bat and the receiver picks up the returning echoes.”（该装置的发射器发出与蝙蝠频率相同的超声波脉冲，接收器接收返回的回声。）可知，根据文章，超声波手电筒发出的脉冲频率与蝙蝠不同这个陈述是不正确的。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This means that a person holding the torch can point it ahead of him and scan the area for obstacles over a range of about 25 feet. If there are no return echoes coming through the headphones, then there is nothing in the way. If echoes do come back, then the closer the obstruction the faster the succession of bleeps and the deeper the pitch of each bleep. With practice, the torch could help a blind person to lead a more normal life.”（这意味着手持手电筒的人可以将手电筒指向前方，扫描25英尺范围内的障碍物。如果耳机里没有回音，那就说明什么都没有。如果回声确实回来了，那么障碍物越近，哔哔声的连续速度就越快，音调就越深。通过练习，手电筒可以帮助盲人过上更正常的生活。）可知，超声波手电筒是用来帮助盲人行走以及帮助盲人过上更好的生活。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The first steps to help blind people to see with sound are based on exactly the same principle. The sound is given off by an ultrasonic torch, whose shape is different from a normal electric torch.”（帮助盲人看清楚声音第一步是基于完全相同的原则。这种声音是由超声波手电筒发出的，它的形状与普通手电筒不同。）以及第三段中“With practice, the torch could help a blind person to lead a more normal life.”（通过练习，火炬可以帮助盲人过上更正常的生活。）可知，我们能从这篇文章中推断出有超声波手电筒的盲人可以自己走路。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“Fortunately, reducing the size of the electronic equipment is progressing and it should not be long before the whole set-up can be reproduced in a form small enough to fit into a pair of glasses. The wearer would face in the direction he wanted to check, and lift or lower his head just as a sighted person would.”（幸运的是，电子设备的尺寸正在缩小，用不了多久，整个装置就可以被复制成小到可以装进一副眼镜的形式。佩戴者将面向他想要检查的方向，并像正常视力的人一样抬起或低下头。）可知，这篇文章的主旨是超声波手电筒可以改善盲人的生活。故选A项。
D
As any plane passenger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why. A baby’s cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦) in a way while other cries don’t, researchers found.
Researchers found that a baby’s cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them—whether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, including calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response, suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a baby’s cry.
A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds — roughly the time it takes to blink(眨眼) — two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a baby’s cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women—even if they had no children.
Researcher Dr Christine Parsons said, “You might read that men should just notice a baby and step over it and not see it, but it’s not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary(演化的) view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.” The study was in people who were not parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular cries, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.
Fellow researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own child’s cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying.
12. A baby’s cry is difficult to ignore because it ________.
A. keeps on crying B. cries harder than adults
C. causes people great pain D. makes people feel strong emotions
13. The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. cause B. remove C. avoid D. cure
14. What may Christine Parsons agree to?
A. A crying baby makes no sense to people without children.
B. Parents can hardly recognize their own babies’ cries.
C Men pay less attention to a crying baby than women.
D. Almost everyone makes certain response to a baby’s cry.
15. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. How to recognize different babies’ cries.
B. Why you can’t get a baby’s cry out of your head.
C. Why a baby is easy and likely to cry.
D. How to prevent a baby crying.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是为什么我们无法把婴儿的哭声从脑海中抹去。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句A baby’s cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦) in a way while other cries don’t, researchers found.可知，婴儿的哭声在某种程度上扣人心弦，会引起人们的强烈的情感共鸣，故选D。
【13题详解】
猜测词义题。根据第一段最后一句可知，研究人员发现，孩子的哭声扣人心弦，也就是能引起大脑独特的情感反应，所以画线单词trigger意为“引发，引起”，与A项cause意思接近。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary(演化的) view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.可知，男性和女性都会对孩子的哭声作出反应，故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段As any plane passenger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why. A baby’s cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦)in a way while other cries don’t, researchers found.和下文分析的原因，本文讲述的是“为什么无法把婴儿的哭声从脑海中抹去?”故选B。
【易错分析】1. A baby’s cry is difficult to ignore because it ________.
A. keeps on crying
B. cries harder than adults
C. causes people great pain
D. makes people feel strong emotions
A、B、C项在文章中都未提到，但根据生活实际，容易误选这几项，一定要根据文章内容来选答案。

Stop Negative Talk
“I’m so fat,” one of your friends says. The girl next to her joins in. “Welf, I hate my hair today.” Without thinking, you respond “No, you ate not fat! I am fat. And my hair is flat and boring.” ___16___
It is easy for people to engage in self-critical conversations, and once it starts there is often pressure for you to join in. ___17___Maybe it is because “just talking” feels harmless. But before you know it, those opinions flow out of your conversations and into your life, where they start eating away at your self-respect.
___18___ When you start talking about yourself in a negative way, you are not only affecting your self-respect, but your friends! When you criticize yourself, your friends might think you have the same standards for them. You have heard that it is important to treat others the way you want to be treated, but there is also value in treating yourself like you treat your friends. If you wouldn't criticize your friend for the same thing, chances are that you are being too hard on yourself. So, don't start it.
But what if someone else starts? For example, your friend feels insecure about how well he played in his soccer game, so he puts himself down. “I suck at soccer.” ___19___ Ask him, “do you really think that? Why?” Maybe he is actually upset about a comment someone made, or is just getting down on himself over one bad play. Whatever it is, talking through the real issue will help him more than slipping into another negative talk.
It is important to talk to your friend about your insecurities, but make sure you are not talking about them just to put yourself down. ___20___ Instead of just focusing on the negative, talk about what makes you and your friends beautiful and unique-including what you love about your body und what you have accomplished. When you show yourself love, you set yourself as an example, and everyone benefits from you positively.
A. Negative talk affects self-respect.
B. Criticizing yourself helps nobody.
C. But why do we hesitate to praise ourselves?
D. But why is it acceptable to talk so negatively?
E. All it takes is just one comment and the negative talk starts.
F. It is better to resist negative conversations and create more balanced ones.
G. Before everyone puts himself down, see if you can get to the root of the problem

47. as 48. which ##that
49. using 50. beneficial
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国国家医疗服务体系将提供一种传统的中国针灸疗法来治疗背痛。这是首次中国的针灸获得正式的认可。
【41题详解】
考查动词。句意：这是首次得到正式的支持。此处考查固定句型：This is the first time that+现在完成时，it是第三人称单数，与谓语动词support之间是被动关系。故填has been supported。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：然而，英国国家临床优秀研究所(NICE)表示，有证据表明针灸可能比昂贵的x光片或注射更有效，因此应该给那些已经忍受了6周以上的痛苦的患者一个选择。分析句子可知，此处为there be句型真正的主语，用名词作主语，且evidence“证据”是不可数名词。故填evidence。
【43题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：然而，英国国家临床优秀研究所(NICE)表示，有证据表明针灸可能比昂贵的x光片或注射更有效，因此应该给那些已经忍受了6周以上的痛苦的患者一个选择。根据句意以及空前be动词可知，此处为形容词形式作表语，结合空后的than可知，此处为形容词的比较级形式。故填more effective。
【44题详解】
考查动词。句意：然而，英国国家临床优秀研究所(NICE)表示，有证据表明针灸可能比昂贵的x光片或注射更有效，因此应该给那些已经忍受了6周以上的痛苦的患者一个选择。根据句意以及该句的for over six weeks时间状语可知，此处为现在完成进行时，表示动作从某一时间开始，一直持续到现在，可能仍然要继续下去。故填suffering。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：作为针灸的一种选择，患者可以选择脊椎推拿课程，或一系列特殊的锻炼课程。根据句意可知，此处泛指“一种选择”，结合alternative以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词an。故填an。
【46题详解】
考查连词。句意：作为针灸的一种选择，患者可以选择脊椎推拿课程，或一系列特殊的锻炼课程。根据句意可知，此处表示“或者”，表示选择关系。故填or。
【47题详解】
考查介词。句意：在英国，针灸被视为一种辅助疗法。此处be regarded as“被当作，被视为”为固定短语。故填as。
【48题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这个术语指的是一种未经严格试验的医疗程序，科学家证明这种治疗方法是有效的。分析句子可知，此处为which /that引导的限制性定语从句，先行词a medical procedure，在从句中作主语，指物。故填which /that。
【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：本月早些时候，美国的一项研究发现，用牙签模拟针灸的效果和用真针一样好。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作定语，acupuncture和use为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式作定语修饰acupuncture。故填using。
【50题详解】
考查形容词。句意：因此，虽然有些人还没有被说服，但背痛患者希望针灸对他们的健康有益，帮助他们重新获得活动的感觉。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语be beneficial to“对……有益”满足句意要求，故该空为形容词形式作表语。故填beneficial。

Dear cousin,
Long time no see! It has been almost a year ever since you move to London. I miss you a lot. I’m writing the letter to ask you for help. As you know, I am eager to be a photographer like you, so I asked my parents to buy me the camera last week. But he told me I wouldn’t concentrate on my schoolwork if I got one. Oh, my God! What can I make them trust me? I’m not a kid any longer, but I can control myself. What’s worse, I have promised that I will take photo for the school’s newspaper in next month. When asking by my classmates, I will be absolutely embarrassed. Therefore, would you like to lend me some money? If you’d like, I will return it as soon as possibly.
Yours Sincerely
【答案】1.move→moved
2.the→a
3.he→they
4.What→How
5.but→and
6.photo→photos
7.去掉in
8.asking→asked
9.在if you’d like后加to
10.possibly→possible
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。信中主要是请求表兄借给作者一些钱，用于购买照相机，以实现他做摄影家的理想。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：自从你搬到伦敦已经快一年了。since引导的时间状语从句要用一般过去时态，主句要用现在完成时态，move要用过去式。故将move改为moved。
2.考查冠词。句意：正如你所知道的，我渴望成为一名像你一样的摄影师，所以我上周让我父母给我买了一台相机。此处camera表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，camera是辅音音素开头，不定冠词用a，故将the改为a。
3.考查代词。句意：但是他们告诉我如果有了相机，我就不能专心学习了。代指上一句提到的“my parents”，应该用they，而不是he。故将he改为they。
4.考查特殊疑问词。句意：我怎样才能让他们相信我？what意为“什么”，how意为“怎样”，结合句意，此处表示“我怎样才能让他们相信我”，故将What改为How。
5.考查连词。句意：我不是个孩子了，而且我能控制自己。根据语境可知，前后两句话之间是递进关系，不是转折关系，应用and连接两句话，故将but改为and。
6.考查名词的复数。句意：更糟糕的是，我已经答应下个月为校报拍摄照片。photo是可数名词，拍的照片肯定不止一张，因此要用复数，故将photo改为photos。
7.考查介词。句意：更糟糕的是，我已经答应下个月为校报拍摄照片。next month意为“下个月”，前面不加介词，故去掉in。
8.考查时态，语态，主谓一致和省略。句意：当我的同学问我的时候，我会非常尴尬。由by可知，句子用被动语态，句子遵循主将从现的原则，when引导的时间状语从句应为“When I am asked by my classmates”，状语从句中主语和主句主语一致，且从句中有be动词时，可省略从句中的主语和be动词，因此省略为“When asked by my classmates”，故将asking改为asked。
9.考查不定式。句意：如果您愿意，我可以尽快还给您。you’d是you would的缩写，would like to do是固定短语，意为“愿意做某事”，此处本来是If you’d like to lend me some money，为了避免重复，省略lend me some money，故在if you’d like后加to。
10.考查形容词。句意：如果您愿意，我可以尽快还给您。as…as possible意为“尽可能……”，是固定短语。故将possibly改为possible。
