A
Letters to the Editor
Nurses’ strike
Sir, I have worked in the public sector for more than 30 years and know that the idea that nurses will be “driven out” of the health service by the 1 per cent pay offer is poppycock(胡说) (news, Mar 8). What attracts and keeps people working in these areas is public service and, as the Queen said in her message, a “selfless devotion to duty”.
Tim Kerin
London E7
Doorstep heroes
Sir, I can understand why so many people now like to have their milk delivered (“Pint-sized heroes are back on doorstep”, Mar 8) but don’t know why it has to be at such antisocial hours. I have often been woken up by the loud noise of Milk & More delivering to one of my neighbours in the early hours, and one day last week it was even at 1:50 a.m. ,which made me sleepless the following hours.
Helen Hinde
Ruislip, Middx
Wine of the weak
Sir, Jane MacQuitty excelled(突出) herself in her wine column this week (“Red wine for lightweights: the best 12% and under bottles”, Weekend, Mar 6). The eight bottles on offer were flavoured as follows: forest-fruited, meaty, mocha, beetrooty, tobacco leaf, lemony and samphire. The star flavours(调味) in a Reisling from Chile were fat and lime pickle（酸菜味). Of the eight bottles of wine only one was described as “grapey”.
Tony Stafford
Harston, Cambs

(先生，我在公共部门工作了30多年，我知道那种认为护士会因为1%的薪酬而“被赶出”医疗服务的想法是无稽之谈(3月8号新闻))”；Doorstep heroes中“Sir, I can understand why so many people now like to have their milk delivered (“Pint-sized heroes are back on doorstep”, Mar 8) but don’t know why it has to be at such antisocial hours. (先生，我能理解为什么现在有那么多人喜欢让人送牛奶(3月8号，“小英雄回来了”)，但我不知道为什么非得在这么反社会的时间。)”和Wine of the weak中“Of the eight bottles of wine only one was described as “grapey”. (在这八瓶葡萄酒中，只有一瓶被描述为“葡萄”。)”可知，这三个人写这些信是想投诉某些现象。故选B项。

B
To learn to think is to learn to question. Those who don't question never truly think for themselves. These are simple rules that have governed the advancement of science and human thought since the beginning of time. Advancements are made when thinkers question theories(理论) and introduce new ones. Unfortunately, it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought. Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher whose theories explained much of the natural world, often incorrectly. He was so respected by the scientific community that even 1,200 years after his death, scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them!
Brilliant minds can intimidate upandcoming thinkers who are not confident of their abilities. They often believe they are not as good as the minds of giants such as Aristotle, leading many to accept current ideas instead of questioning them.
I, like many thinkers of the past, once believed in my mental weakness. I was certain that my parents, my teachers—adults in general—were always right. They were like a textbook to me; I didn't question what was written on those pages. I respected them, and accepted whatever they told me. But that attitude soon changed. My mind's independence was first developed in the classroom.
A stern, 65yearold elementaryschool science teacher once told me that light is a type of wave. I confidently went through years of school believing that light is a wave. One day，however, I heard the German exchange student mention that light could be made up of particles(粒子). As the others laughed at his statement, I started to question my beliefs.
Maybe the teachers and textbooks hadn't given me the whole story. I went to the library, did some research and learned of the lightasawave versus lightasaparticle debate. I read about Einstein's discovery of the dual nature of light and learned the facts of a paradox(悖论) that puzzles the world's greatest thinkers to this day. Light behaves as both a particle and a wave, it is both at once. I realized I had gone through life accepting only half of the story as the whole truth.
Each new year brought more new facts, and I formulated even more questions. I found myself in the library after school, trying to find my own answers to gain a more complete understanding of what I thought I already knew. I discovered that my parents and teachers are good tools in my quest for knowledge, but they are never the final word. Even textbooks can be challenged. I learned to question my sources, I learned to be a thinker. I once believed that everything I learned at home and at school was certain, but I have now discovered to reexamine when necessary.
Questions are said to be the path to knowledge and truth, and I plan to continue questioning. How many things do we know for sure today that we will question in the future? At this moment, I know that our sun will burn for another five billion years, and I know nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole. This knowledge, however, may change in the next 20 years—maybe even in the next two. The one thing we can control now is our openness to discovery. Questions are the tools of open minds, and open minds are the key to intellectual advancement.
6. In the first paragraph, Aristotle is taken as an example to show that ______.
A. he is the greatest and respected philosopher of all time
B. huge influence of great thinkers may stop human thought from developing
C. advancements are made when thinkers question theories
D. great thinkers often make mistakes and then correct them
7. What does the underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Frighten. B. Encourage. C. Strengthen. D. Persuade.
8. The author began to question his previous beliefs because ______.
A. what he learned from textbooks before turned out to be wrong
B. he was inspired by the different ideas from an exchange student
C. he was laughed at by other students for his unacceptable statement
D. he was not satisfied with his life and desperate to achieve success
9. According to the passage, the author ______.
A. looks down upon great thinkers all the time
B. never doubts what he has learned in the textbook
C. always throws himself into the laboratory
D. is determined to be a thinker and questioner
10. We can conclude from the last paragraph that ______.
A. the author is not quite sure about his future
B. we human beings don't dare to predict future
C. the theory of black holes will change in two years
D. questioning is necessary to promote advancement
【答案】6. B 7. A 8. B 9. D 10. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。只有人们质疑以前的理论并提出新的理论时，我们的社会才可以取得进步。质疑是通往知识和真理的道路，质疑可以让我们的思维更加开放，而开放性思维是思想进步的关键因素。本文讲述了质疑权威的重要性。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段 “Unfortunately, it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought.（不幸的是，减慢人类思想进程的往往是那些伟大而受人尊敬的思想家。）”接着以亚里士多德为例，他提出了很多错误理论，但是碍于他的名望和巨大影响，后世并没有纠正，反而在他错误理论的基础上发展，因此作者认为正是这些伟大的思想家从某种程度上阻碍了人类思想的进步。故选B项。
【7题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文“They often believe they are not as good as the minds of giants such as Aristotle, leading many to accept current ideas instead of questioning them.（他们常常认为自己没有亚里士多德等伟人的头脑那么好，导致许多人接受了当前的观点，而不是质疑它们）”可知后人会忌惮于亚里士多德的权威而不敢反驳，因此伟大的头脑会“吓坏”那些后来的对自己没有信心的思想家，选项A. Frighten符合语境，故选A项。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“One day，however, I heard the German exchange student mention that light could be made up of particles(粒子). As the others laughed at his statement, I started to question my beliefs.（然而有一天，我听到一位德国交换生提到光可以由粒子组成。当其他人嘲笑他的陈述时，我开始质疑我的信仰）”可知，作者开始质疑自己之前的信仰，因为他受到了一名交换生不同想法的启发，故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Questions are said to be the path to knowledge and truth, and I plan to continue questioning.（质疑被认为是通往知识和真理的道途径，我计划继续做一个质疑者）”可知，作者决心成为一个思想家和质疑者，故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。通读最后一段，尤其是最后一段的“Questions are said to be the path to knowledge and truth,…（质疑被认为是通往知识和真理的途径）”和“Questions are the tools of open minds, and open minds are the key to intellectual advancement.（怀疑是开放思维的工具，而开放的思想是智力进步的关键）”可知，质疑是促进智力进步所必需的。故选D项。
C
I rang Daisy the next morning and invited her to come to tea.
“Don't bring Tom,”I warned her.
It was raining on the day we had fixed to have tea. A man arrived at eleven o'clock to cut the grass in my garden (Gatsby's lawn(草坪）was always perfect). A little later an enormous quantity of flowers was delivered.
At three o'clock the front door opened and Gatsby hurried in. He looked anxious.
“Have you got everything you need for tea?” he asked.
I took him into the kitchen and showed him the lemon cakes I had bought that morning.
“Are they all right?”
“Of course! They are fine, Nick, my friend,” he said, but I could see he was disappointed.
We went into the living room where he sat down. From time to time he looked through the windows at the rain. Finally he got up and said he was going home.
“Nobody's coming to tea. It's too late! I can't wait all day.”
“Don't be silly. It's only two minutes to four.”
He sat down unhappily and, at the same time, a car drove up to my house.
I went out into the garden. Daisy looked at me and smiled happily. I helped her out of the car.
“Are you in love with me?” she said softly in my ear. “If not, why did I have to come
alone?”
“That's a secret.”
We went in. To my surprise the living room was empty. Then there was a knock at the door. I opened it. Gatsby was standing there in the rain. He disappeared quickly into the living room. I waited at the door. After a moment of silence, Daisy laughed and said in a clear, false voice,
“I'm very glad to see you again.”
I closed the door and joined them in the living room. Gatsby was standing and staring at Daisy. She was sitting, frightened but composed(沉着的)，on the edge of a chair.
“We've met before,”Gatsby said.
“Not for many years,” Daisy added quickly.
“Five years next November,” said Gatsby immediately without thinking.
I sat and talked to Daisy as we drank our tea and ate the lemon cakes. Gatsby was quiet but his anxious, unhappy eyes moved continuously from me to Daisy. I left them together after a while.
When I went back in, they were sitting on the couch, looking at each other. All their embarrassment had gone. Daisy's face was covered with tears. But there was a change in Gatsby that really surprised me. He radiated a feeling of joy that filled the room.
“Hello, my friend,” he said.
“It's stopped raining.”
“Has it?” he said. Then to Daisy: “It's stopped raining.”
“I'm glad, Jay,” she answered, her voice showing her unexpected joy.
11. Who probably had the grass cut and the flowers delivered?
A. Nick. B. Tom. C. Gatsby. D. Daisy.
12. The following sentences show Gatsby's anxiety EXCEPT______.
A. At three o'clock the front door opened and Gatsby hurried in.
B. From time to time he looked through the windows at the rain.
C. “Nobody's coming to tea. It's too late! I can't wait all day.”
D. Gatsby was standing there in the rain.
13. Why did Gatsby deliberately leave the house?
A. He didn't have the courage to meet Daisy.
B. He wanted to create the impression that it was a casual meet.
C. He didn't really want to see Daisy again.
D. He left something important at home and had to go back for it.
14. What does the underlined sentence probably imply?
A. Gatsby had a good memory for dates and time.
B. Gatsby was disappointed at Daisy's answer.
C. Gatsby tried to hide his nervousness.
D. Gatsby was anxious to meet Daisy again.
15. Which of the following is TRUE about Daisy?
A. She was late for tea because of the heavy rain.
B. She didn't want to talk to Gatsby due to his rudeness.
C. She hadn't expected to meet Gatsby in Nick's house.
D. She was too embarrassed to notice the rain had stopped.
【答案】11. C 12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文，是小说《了不起的盖茨比》的片段。文章描述了五年后Gatsby和Daisy在他表哥Nick家里再次相遇的场景。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“ A man arrived at eleven o'clock to cut the grass in my garden (Gatsby's lawn(草坪）was always perfect). 一个男人11点来修剪了草坪（Gatsby的草坪总是很完美）。A little later an enormous quantity of flowers was delivered.（过了一会儿，大量的鲜花也送来了。）”和“At three o'clock the front door opened and Gatsby hurried in. He looked anxious.（三点整，前门开了Gatsby匆忙地进来。他看起来很焦急。）”以及下文描述的Gatsby焦急地等Daisy可推知，修理草坪和送花，应该是Gatsby的精心准备。故选C。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“…the front door opened and Gatsby hurried in. He looked anxious.（前门开了，Gatsby急急忙忙进来了。他看起来很急切。）”第九段的“From time to time he looked through the windows at the rain. …. ‘Nobody's coming to tea. It's too late! I can't wait all day.’（他不时地透过窗户看外面的雨。……没人来喝茶。太晚了!我不能等一整天。）”可知，描述了在Daisy来之前，Gatsby 等待时的焦虑不安；而第16段的“Gatsby was standing there in the rain.（Gatsby站在雨中。）”描述的是Daisy到达后，“我”和Daisy进到房子时的情景，不符合题意。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第16段的“We went in. To my surprise the living room was empty. Then there was a knock at the door. I opened it. Gatsby was standing there in the rain.（我们走了进去。令我吃惊的是，客厅没人。然后有人敲门。我打开门。Gatsby站在雨中。）” 再结合上文提到在Daisy到达前，Gatsby紧张不安；他本来在客厅里，知道Daisy到了，他却从门外进来，假装比Daisy后到达。由此推知，他故意离开房子，是因为他不想让Daisy知道他一直在等她，想让Daisy觉得这是一次偶遇。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据此处倒数7、8段Gatsby和Daisy的对话“ ‘We've met before,’Gatsby said.‘Not for many years,’ Daisy added quickly. (Gatsby说“我们以前就见过”。Daisy马上补充说“好多年没见了”。) ” 划线句的意思为“Gatsby马上不假思索地说‘到明年十一月就有五年（没见了））”可知，Gatsby 很清楚地记得有多久没有和Daisy见面。由此推知，这句话暗示了Gatsby 非常期盼和Daisy的重逢。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章中“‘Are you in love with me?’ she said softly in my ear. ‘If not, why did I have to come alone?’ ‘That's a secret.’（‘你爱上我了吗?’她在我耳边轻声说。‘如果不是，为什么要我一个人来呢?’‘这是一个秘密。’）”以及文章最后一段中“her voice showing her unexpected joy.（她的声音流露出她意外的喜悦。）”可知，Daisy问Nick为什么要她一人来，而Nick没有告诉她原因。由此可知， Daisy并不知道Nick安排了她和Gatsby的见面，她没有预料到在Nick家里见到Gatsby。故选C。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Friendships can bring joy or sorrow.____16____ , we talked to researchers, authors, and therapists to learn how to manage the common relationship difficulties we all face.
Broken promises
Friends are vital for our physical and mental well-being but these relationships aren’t always smooth sailing. ____17____. And a major way this happens is through broken promises. Perhaps he canceled plans at the last minute or she declined to take part in an important party. ____18____, the first thing to do is remember that no one is perfect, says Jan Yager, PhD, friendship coach.
____19____
“Sometimes jealousy reveals our deepest desires,” says Dr. Yager. “Healthy envy can motivate you to become better and be inspired by your friend’s success,” she says. She points out that it could be the other way around as well: Your friends might be jealous of you.
Feeling left out
There’s no worse feeling than when you check Facebook Monday morning to find out that your friends went on a weekend getaway without you. Scott Christnelly, a therapist, says, “I encourage clients to express their feelings about it but also not to jump to conclusions.” Then find someone else to talk to — maybe a family member, or a close friend (not one who went on the trip)—to explain how you feel. ____20____.
A. Experiencing envy
B. But while it may be painful
C. Stopping to feel jealous of them
D. Friend breakups can be just as painful as a romantic split
E. In fact, it’s common to experience some serious hurt from your friends
F. Since there’s no rule book on what to do when things get tense or go south
G. Maybe through that conversation, you can brainstorm how you will respond
【答案】16. F 17. E 18. B 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些如何处理我们大家常见与朋友相处时常见的难题的方法。
【16题详解】
根据后文we talked to researchers, authors, and therapists to learn how to manage the common relationship difficulties we all face.（我们与研究人员、作者和治疗师交谈，学习如何处理我们共同面临的人际关系难题。）作者请教了一些专业人士，他们寻求建议可知，此处指遇到这样的事很多人不知怎样应对。故答案为F，意为：因为当事情变得紧张或糟糕的时候，没有什么规则可循。故选F。
【17题详解】
此句为解释说明句。根据上文“Friends are vital for our physical and mental well-being but these relationships aren’t always smooth sailing.”（朋友对我们的身心健康至关重要，但这种关系并不总是一帆风顺。）”（与朋友的）关系并不总是一帆风顺的，可知，与朋友相处时，人应该会有挫折，故E选项“事实上，经历一些来自朋友的严重伤害是很正常的。”符合上下文语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
此句是对前面句子的解释说明。根据前面“Perhaps he canceled plans at the last minute or she declined to take part in an important party.（也许他在最后一刻取消了计划，或者她拒绝参加一个重要的聚会）”被朋友放鸽子，或者被人拒绝，这些都是痛苦的经历，故B选项“虽然这可能是痛苦的。”符合上下文语境。故选B。
【19题详解】
此句为主旨大意，根据下文“Sometimes jealousy reveals our deepest desires,” says Dr. Yager.（“有时候，嫉妒揭示了我们内心深处的渴望，”耶格尔博士说。）可知本段主要说明与朋友交往时出现的一些问题，朋友间会彼此嫉妒。故A选项“经历嫉妒”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Then find someone else to talk to — maybe a family member, or a close friend (not one who went on the trip)—to explain how you feel.（然后找其他人来解释你的感受——也许是你的家人，或者是你的好朋友(不是去旅行的人)。）”可知本句为说明谈话的效果，故G选项“也许通过这次谈话，你可以集体讨论你将如何回应。”符合上下文语境。故选G。
