A
Most people have a “fear” of getting old, especially when they get to those “milestone” birthdays. Not me! I was even more excited about turning 30 because this would be my golden birthday.
A few months after my 30th birthday when my little girl, Annie, turned two, I decided it was time for me to have my heart check-up. I have a family history of heart disease, so I knew this visit was important.
I made an appointment with the doctor, who had a very clear picture of my family history of heart disease. I got checked in, weighed, blood pressure checked, and all seemed just fine. However, since my mom had a hole in her heart, my doctor decided to do the same check on my heart. When it was done, my doctor sat me down and said, “You have a heart condition. Only 10% of your heart is functioning.” How could this be?
After the shock settled in, I told myself that I had to pick myself back up and move forward. I wasn’t the first woman to be diagnosed with heart disease, and sadly I wouldn’t be the last.
Just 10 years ago, my diagnosis would be almost immediately fatal. Yet, because of the advances in technology and medicine and the contribution of the American Heart Association, I now have a chance to pick out Annie’s wedding dress with her one day.
One day, I will be the recipient of a new heart because of the research done by the American Heart Association. I will be able to run, jump, swim ... The face of heart disease can be deceiving; don’t let this silent killer deceive you.
1. What did the writer do after she heard the doctor’s words?
A. She refused to have any kind of treatment.
B. She was shocked and thought it was not true.
C. She cried and didn’t know what to do.
D. She was shocked and then decided to fight the disease.
2. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Heart disease is not that horrible.
B. Family members are important to us.
C. The writer will attend her daughter’s wedding ceremony very soon.
D. The writer got a new heart with the help of the American Heart Association.
3. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Touching Mother-Daughter Relationship
B. A New Treatment for Heart Disease
C. A Young Mother’s Battle Against Heart Disease
D. The True Meaning of Heart Disease
【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C

3. 主旨大意题。这篇文章主要讲了作者的家庭有心脏病病史，作者去医院检查时，发现自己也患有心脏病。作者并没有悲观丧气，坚信随着医疗技术的不断发展，自己一定会好起来，于是勇敢地和病魔作斗争。作者希望有一天，可以为女儿挑选婚纱。选C。
B
Most people say that most people have not more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations.
Also, there are no rules about friendship. There are no instructions about how to make friends, how to keep friendships going, and how to finish friendships if we want to move on. People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than family. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. If people with such different views become friends, this can lead to problems.
Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our friendships. We may want them to be deeper or closer, or we may want to have more friends in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the lime to develop our friendships, or we fear we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find ways, to make new friends again.
This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendships. We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet.
4. According to the text, how many friends do the majority of people probably have?
A. 30 friends or fewer at a certain stage
B. .Over 400 friends in their whole lives
C. 400 internet friends in their whole lives
D. 150 internet friends at a certain stage.
5. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. There is a rule about making friends
B. People with different views can become friends
C. Some people would die for their friends if they need to
D. Friendships mean different things to different people
6. We can learn from the text that most of us ________.
A. are frightened to talk to people
B. build friendships late in life
C. are dissatisfied with our friends
D. need to be with others
7. What is the author’s attitude towards talking to a stranger?
A. Uninterested B. Positive
C. Doubtful D. Cautious
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. B
【解析】这篇文章的作者说明了人们对于友谊的不同理解，并且指出友谊对每个人都是非常重要的，我们要善于建立和经营友谊。
4. 细节理解题。由Most people say that most people have not more than 30 friends at any given time可知大多数人在特定的阶段有三十个朋友或是少于三十个朋友，选A。
5. 主旨大意题。由People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than family. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help each other until they are no longer needed.可知第二自然段主要讲了对于不同的人，友谊意味着不同的事情，选D。
6. 细节理解题。由We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many.可知大多数人都需要和别人一起，选D。
7. 推理判断题。由Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet.可推断出作者对于和陌生人说话，持肯定态度，选B。
【名师点睛】
一篇文章都会包含作者的某种观点和态度，只不过有的直截了当，有的含而不露，有的通过所用词语的褒贬来体现。此类题可细分为作者态度题(表明作者的好恶)和作者观点题(表明作者对某事物的看法)。准确把握作者的情感和态度，需要注意以下几点：1.作者对某一事物的看法,要么支持,要么反对,带中立色彩的词最不可能是正确答案。2.漠不关心类词语往往不对,既然写文章就不会不关心。3.不要把自己的态度揉入其中,也要区分作者的态度和作者引用的别人的态度。4.当作者的态度没有明确提出时,要学会根据作者使用词语的褒贬性来判断。5.作者的观点一般与文章的主旨相关联。6.绝对化或语气过于强烈的选项常常是错误的,如:strong, complete, entire等。另外我们还要积累一些表示作者态度的词汇。
C
Scientists have found living organisms trapped in crystals (晶体) that could be 50,000 years old.
The organisms were found in a hot, but beautiful cave system in Naica, Mexico. These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope. Penelope Boston, who leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA, the space agency of the United States, says the ancient microbes were able to live by eating minerals such as iron.
She spoke about the discovery recently at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions. Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area. The genetic structures of these organisms are 10 percent different from those of their nearest relatives.
The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. They were once used for mining lead. Before the miners began working in the caves, the area was separated from the surface and the outside world. Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europe’s Middle Ages. There are crystals covering the walls. The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs (病菌) or other damage. Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.
NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts before last week’s announcement. So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine Noonan, a biologist with the University of South Florida, said she believed them. “Why are we surprised?” Noonan asked. “ As a biologist, I would say life on Earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful.”
Boston is also studying microbes commonly found inside caves in other countries, such as Ukraine and the United States. These microbes appear to be impossible to kill. Boston said they show how difficult life on Earth can be.
8. The existence of the ancient microbes relies on ________.
A. surrounding insects B. eating minerals
C. diverse plants D. absorbing air
9. What can we infer about the eaves in Naica from the passage?
A. The temperature in the caves is quite low.
B. The environment in the caves is difficult to adapt to.
C. The walls are covered by crystals.
D. The caves have been explored since they were formed.
10. What is the biologist Norine Noonan’s attitude towards the findings?
A. Neutral. B. Doubtful.
C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Living organisms bring hope to scientific research.
B. Caves provide living environment for living organisms.
C. Microbes show great power to survive in terrible conditions.
D. Scientists Discover 50,000-year-old “super life” in Mexico.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】这篇文章主要讲了科学家在墨西哥发现5万岁的“超级生命”，这些古老的微生物能够通过食用铁和锰等矿物质生存。
8. 细节理解题。由says the ancient microbes were able to live by eating minerals such as iron.可知这些古老的微生物能够通过食用铁和锰等矿物质生存，选B。
9. 推理判断题。由There are crystals covering the walls. The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs (病菌) or other damage. Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.可知有晶体覆盖在墙上。洞穴是相当的热，科学家必须穿特殊的衣服才比较凉爽。衣服还保护晶体免受人类身上的细菌或其他因素的损害。研究人员每次只能工作约20分钟，然后他们就得到38摄氏度的房间里降温。所以可以推断出洞穴里的环境很难适应，选B。
10. 推理判断题。由But Norine Noonan, a biologist with the University of South Florida, said she believed them.可知NASA官员不会让波士顿在上周的公告之前与科学专家分享她的发现。所以科学家不能公布过多的研究结果。但是，南佛罗里达大学的生物学家诺丁·诺南说她相信他们。故选C。
11. 主旨大意题。这篇文章主要讲了科学家在墨西哥发现5万岁的“超级生命”，这些古老的微生物能够通过食用铁和锰等矿物质生存，所以选D。
D
It’s true that quite a few most respected scientific authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter. There’s also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that: The global warming over the last half - century has been caused mainly by human activity.”
You may not believe that humans could change the planet’s climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.
Of course, the earth’s climate has always been changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth’s going around the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build - up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere - not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.
Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: “If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change, then why aren’t carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”
The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths-one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn’t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.
12. The text is developed by ________.
A. giving typical examples
B. following the order of space
C. comparing and finding differences
D. analyzing a theory and arguing it
13. Which of the following is not the cause of climate change?
A. volcanic eruption
B. floods arid droughts
C. changes in solar
D. cycles concerning the Earth’s going around the sun
14. The underline word ‘‘identical” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A. exactly the same B. totally different
C. extremely important D. partly independent
15. Which of the following can be the best title?
A. Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming?
B. Are All the Scientists Really Scientific?
C. Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to?
D. What’s the Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases?
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】这篇文章对人类是否造成了全球变暖这一理论进行了论述，表明全球变暖是否是人类的影响尚且不能定论。
12. 推理判断题。文章首先对一个普遍存在的理论进行分析，再引用一些专家的观点对这一普遍的理论进行辩论，故选D。
13. 细节理解题。由Of course, the earth’s climate has always been changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth’s going around the sun.可知洪水和干旱不是造成气候变化的原因，选B。
14. 词义猜测题。由The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths-one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn’t possible，可知如果要分析是否是人类造成的影响需要有两个完全条件一致的实验，一个有人类活动的地球，一个是没有人类活动的地球，对两个实验进行参照性的比较，显然这是不可能的，所以‘‘identical”的意思是完全一样的，故选A。
15. 主旨大意题。这篇文章对人类是否造成了全球变暖这一理论进行了论述，表明全球变暖是否是人类的影响尚且不能定论，所以这篇文章最好的标题是人类一定会造成全球变暖吗？故选A。

完形填空题的命题特点及答题方法：1.侧重基础知识，考查学生语言知识的能力。
完形填空以文入手，结合文章的内容考查学生的基础知识，主要是词语搭配、固定句型、近义词辨析、辨析句子结构、掌握语法规则的能力，其中考查实词居多。2.上下文对照，考查学生捕捉关键词的能力。做完形填空题时，单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的，需要注意句子间的关系及句子与段落的关系。所谓上下对照，即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此，在做题时要边读边在大脑中储存上下文信息的能力，捕捉关键词。例如：A 考查动词短语。由I ___12___ 60 with health and got retired from my job. 可知我不得不放弃我最喜欢的工作。give up 放弃，give away 分发， give out 分发，give in屈服。3.设置语境，考查学生的分析推理能力。旨在考查学生在选项都符合语法及句子结构的情况下能否利用前后语境去推断出正确答案。4.结合生活，考查学生利用常识题的能力。目的考查学生的生活常识，看学生是否善于观察生活，积累生活常识，能否利用常识去做恰当的选择。5.关注连词，考查学生对行文逻辑、句子关联的理解能力。此项用来考查学生在缺少连词的情况下，通过阅读能否理解句子的与句子的关系，是否了解行文逻辑的要求，能否掌握表示因果、转折、并列、条件、让步等的连词的用法。例如：D 考查连词。作者的儿子由于车祸，没有通过医学考试。when 当……时， before 在……之前，although 尽管， because因为。
