A
For days, Hunter Mollett had little to eat but he insisted on heading to Enterprise High School in Mississippi. He never complained; he’d simply do his work, hang about with friends and attend band practice. Finally, after four days, Hunter’s mom found some peas and cornmeal and made a meal for them.
In high school, Mollett experienced various degrees of homelessness. However, as one of the smartest students in his grade, when struggling to find stable housing, he also wanted to attend Harvard University.
Jackie Lewis first learned of his dream when she met him in her ninth-grade algebra class. “He told me he was going to Harvard,” she said, “but I was unsure if he was going to make it.” However, after having Mollett in class, Lewis changed her views on his chances in the Ivy League.
Mollett first decided on Harvard when he was in Grade One when he was watching Boston Legal with his mother. He asked her how the characters became lawyers. She said they went to Harvard. Though he didn’t know if she was just joking, Mollett decided that was where he wanted to go.
When Mollett’s teachers learned of his unstable housing, they started helping when they could. If Mollett needed some books, a teacher would buy them for him. If he needed a ride, someone would take him. Meanwhile, Mollett worked hard toward his goal of becoming a lawyer. He took his tests and started applying to colleges, including Mississippi State University and Harvard.
Soon he learned Mississippi State University accepted him and offered him a full scholarship. Then he got an e-mail about financial aid at Harvard even before his university acceptance letter. He felt bewildered.
“I sat there for 16 minutes just staring at my phone. I couldn’t believe I got in.” Mollett said.
1. What made Hunter Mollett set the goal of going to Harvard?
A. His mother’s joke. B. The inspiration from a TV play.
C. His friend’s encouragement. D. His teacher’s support and help.
2. Which word can replace the underlined word “bewildered” in Paragraph 6?
A. Confused. B. Satisfied. C. Frustrated. D. Upset.
3. Which of the following words can best describe Mollett?
A. Social and intelligent. B. Confident and patient.
C. Ambitious and considerate. D. Determined and diligent.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了Hunter Mollett在一部电视剧的影响下,设定了上哈佛大学的目标。并为这个目标不断努力奋斗,最终被成功录取的故事。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段Mollett first decided on Harvard when he was in Grade One when he was watching Boston Legal with his mother. He asked her how the characters became lawyers. She said they went to Harvard. Though he didn’t know if she was just joking, Mollett decided that was where he wanted to go.可知Mollett第一次决定上哈佛大学是在他一年级的时候,当时他和母亲在看《律师风云》。他问她这些角色是如何成为律师的。她说他们上的是哈佛大学。尽管Mollett不知道她是不是在开玩笑,但他还是决定去那个地方。由此可知,是一部电视剧的灵感让Hunter Mollett设定了上哈佛大学的目标。故选B。
【2题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文Soon he learned Mississippi State University accepted him and offered him a full scholarship. Then he got an e-mail about financial aid at Harvard even before his university acceptance letter.可知不久,他得知密西西比州立大学接受了他,并给了他全额奖学金。然后,他在大学录取通知书之前就收到了一封关于哈佛大学经济资助的邮件。以及下一段“I sat there for 16 minutes just staring at my phone. I couldn’t believe I got in.” Mollett said.可知“我在那里坐了16分钟,一直盯着手机。我不敢相信我被录取了。”Mollett说。由此可知,突然被密西西比州立大学录取,还收到了哈佛大学的资助,让Mollett一时间感到很困惑,觉得不敢相信。故划线词意思为“困惑的”。A. Confused.困惑的;B. Satisfied.满意的;C. Frustrated.懊恼的;D. Upset.沮丧的。故选A。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中Meanwhile, Mollett worked hard toward his goal of becoming a lawyer. He took his tests and started applying to colleges, including Mississippi State University and Harvard.可知与此同时,Mollett朝着成为律师的目标努力工作。他参加了考试并开始申请大学,包括密西西比州立大学和哈佛大学。结合文章主要记叙了Hunter Mollett在一部电视剧的影响下,设定了上哈佛大学的目标。并为这个目标不断努力奋斗,最终被成功录取的故事。由此可推知,Mollett是个有决心和勤奋的人。故选D。
B
There is a chill wind blowing through the campus of Keele University these days and it’s nothing to do with the weather.
Students fear the recession(经济衰退) and the downturn in graduate recruitment may mean their studies lead them nowhere. Students’ Union president Talah Omran AI Rubaie already has her degree, and will give up her union post this summer, but she’s not looking forward to launching herself onto the job market.She said, “For most of us, the fact that you are graduating today or tomorrow but might not be able to get a job is a very scary prospect.I think it also has an impact on the students that have just graduated from high school, who’re thinking ‘Is it worth coming to university, is it worth getting a degree?’”
In the Union café, students’ life goes on as it always has.But these undergraduates know the bubble of academia will not protect them from the recession for long.Particularly over Christmas and Easter when you’re only home for months, no one’s got any jobs to give out for a few weeks.
As the recession deepens, some students find themselves in a dilemma: to stay at university, continue their studies, and hope the graduate job market improves by the time they leave, or to start right now and take a job, any job, so they don’t get left on the employment shelf.
Keele’s performance in the graduate jobs market has been good so far.The latest figures available show 95% of students leaving do get a job, but that was before the economy fell off a cliff, and the university is working hard to equip its students with the skills to compete in an ever gloomier employment field.
4. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To attract the readers. B. To present the opinion.
C. To introduce the Keele University. D. To describe the British weather.
5. Why did Keele have a good performance in the graduate job market?
A. Its students are well-equipped with necessary skills for competition.
B. Its students care little about whether the jobs they get are good or not.
C. Its students are well-protected by the bubble of academia from the recession.
D. Its students are not bothered by whether to step into real society right now or not.
6. What is the text mainly about?
A. Graduates of Keele University are faced with a dilemma.
B. To find a job is difficult for the students of Keele University.
C. The recession does impact the graduates of Keele University.
D. Keele University is trying its best to help its graduates to get a good job.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了基尔大学的学生们担心经济衰退和毕业生招聘的下降可能意味着他们的学业将导致他们无处可去。文章从学生的角度分析了他们所面临的两难境地:是留在大学继续学习,还是现在就开始工作。该校正在努力培养学生的技能,使他们能够在日益黯淡的就业领域竞争。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段There is a chill wind blowing through the campus of Keele University these days and it’s nothing to do with the weather.(这几天,基尔大学校园里刮着一股寒风,这与天气无关)以及第二段第一句Students fear the recession(经济衰退) and the downturn in graduate recruitment may mean their studies lead them nowhere.(学生们担心经济衰退和毕业生招聘的下降可能意味着他们的学业将导致他们无处可去)由此可推知,第1段用校园里刮起了寒风来比喻经济衰退对基尔大学的影响,故第一段的目的是为了吸引读者。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Keele’s performance in the graduate jobs market has been good so far.The latest figures available show 95% of students leaving do get a job, but that was before the economy fell off a cliff, and the university is working hard to equip its students with the skills to compete in an ever gloomier employment field.可知到目前为止,基尔大学在毕业生就业市场上的表现一直不错。可获得的最新数据显示,95%的离校学生都找到了工作,但那是在经济还没有跌落悬崖的时候,学校正在努力让学生掌握技能,以便在日益低迷的就业市场中竞争。由此可知,基尔大学在毕业生就业市场上表现出色,因为它的学生都具备了必要的竞争技能。故选A。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中Students fear the recession(经济衰退) and the downturn in graduate recruitment may mean their studies lead them nowhere.可知学生们担心经济衰退和毕业生招聘的下降可能意味着他们的学业将导致他们无处可去。结合文章还从学生的角度分析了他们所面临的两难境地:是留在大学继续学习,还是现在就开始工作。该校正在努力培养学生的技能,使他们能够在日益黯淡的就业领域竞争。由此可知,这篇文章的主要内容是经济衰退确实影响了基尔大学的毕业生。故选C。
C
Every time we get on a plane, we’re asked to either turn off our phones or change them to flight mode—it’s for “security reasons”.But according to The Conversation website, having to turn our phones off on a plane is “a service issue, not a safety one”.When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference to the aircraft’s radios and pilots can hear this interference in their headphones.“It’s the same noise you’ll be familiar with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,” the Mirror noted.“It is not safety-critical, but is annoying for sure.” Though speaking on a phone during a flight isn’t dangerous, from the viewpoint of service, it isn’t still a good idea.
When we make or receive a call on the ground, we connect to a cell tower that deals with all calls within an 80-kilometer radius (半径).As we move from place to place we are “handed on” to different cell towers.As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, for this system to work, there are “built-in” expectations:There shouldn’t be too many “handoffs” and people shouldn’t be traveling faster than car speeds.“Of course, phone users should be close to the ground.” he added.If we were to make phone calls while we flew, however, none of these expectations would be met.And even worse, our cellphones would stop working.
But now things are beginning to change.If we still can’t speak during a flight, we can use other phone functions.For example, Airbus A330 of Emirates Airlines has inflight WiFi to make passengers send and receive short messages in the air.In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely.The breakthrough could be “pico cells”, which are small cell towers on the plane itself.There would no longer be connections made between phones and the ground and therefore there would be no danger of disruption to phone service.
One day, perhaps, we will be chatting in the air as much as we chat on the ground.
7. Why are passengers required to turn off their phones on a plane?
A. Because using phones will pose a threat to their safety.
B. Because using phones may cause annoying noise to pilots.
C. Because turning off phones can ensure passengers a better service.
D. Because phones will fail to be connected to the cell tower when in the air.
8. How many “build-in” expectations are mentioned by Sven Bilen to help make a phone call?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
9. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People should travel slower than airplane speeds to make a phone call successfully.
B. Passengers are likely to make or receive phone calls freely on a plane in the future.
C. “Pico cells” has been applied by airlines to provide passengers with good phone service.
D. Passengers can receive calls on Airbus A330 of Emirates Airlines with the help of inflight WiFi.
10. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A science fiction. B. A travel journal. C. A guidebook. D. A magazine.
【答案】7. B 8. C 9. B 10. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。作者主要向我们介绍了在飞机上需要关闭手机的原因以及未来对可以在飞机上拨打或接听电话的期望。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference to the aircraft’s radios and pilots can hear this interference in their headphones. .“It’s the same noise you’ll be familiar with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,”可知,当我们在空中用手机通话时,它们会对飞机的无线电设备造成干扰,飞行员可以在耳机中听到这种干扰。“如果你把手机放得离扬声器太近的话,这和你熟悉的噪音是一样的,”由此可以看出,乘客在飞机上必须关闭手机的原因是使用电话可能会给飞行员带来烦人的噪音。故选B。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, for this system to work, there are “built-in” expectations:There shouldn’t be too many “handoffs” and people shouldn’t be traveling faster than car speeds.“Of course, phone users should be close to the ground.” he added.If we were to make phone calls while we flew, however, none of these expectations would be met.And even worse, our cellphones would stop working.可知,如美国科学家斯文·比伦解释说,为了让这个系统工作,有“内置”期望结论:应该有不要太多“交接班”和人们的旅行速度不应该超过汽车的速度。“当然,电话用户应该靠近地面。”分析可知,一共有三个内置期望被提到来帮助打电话。分别是应该有不要太多“交接班”,人们的旅行速度不应该超过汽车的速度,电话用户应该靠近地面。所以一共有三个内置期望被提到来帮助打电话。故选 C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely.可知,航空旅客可以自由地拨打和接收电话。再根据最后一段One day, perhaps, we will be chatting in the air as much as we chat on the ground.可知,也许有一天,我们会像在地上聊天一样,在空中聊天。因此可以看出,我们从这篇文章可以推断出乘客将来可能会在飞机上自由拨打或接听电话。故选B 。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。分析可知,文章主要讲了在飞机上需要关闭手机的原因以及未来对可以在飞机上拨打或接听电话的期望。所以应该来自一本杂志符合题意,故选D。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。选项中有两项多余选项。
Memorizing grammar tables may not sound like the most exciting way to improve your English, but it’s highly effective.___11___
It’s easy!
You can communicate effectively in English with very few basic structures. Simply get hold of the verb tables of the most common structures (the present simple, the past simple, the future forms, the present perfect, etc.) and learn them by heart.
It’s effective!
By memorizing the basic structures, you’ll be able to generate thousands of other sentences. ___12___For example, if you learn the sentence, “I’ve never seen it”, just change the verb “seen” for “heard”. It’s that simple!
It’s helpful!
___13___You won’t have to think or translate—the structures will just come out automatically. This will leave you valuable time to dedicate to other really useful things such as learning lots of new vocabulary or improving your listening skills.
It’s efficient!
If you learn the grammar tables, you won’t have to spend so much time studying grammar. Once you’ve got the basic structure in your head, you can focus on learning lots of new words, building up your listening skills and doing lots of reading. ___14___
It’s impressive!
Even advanced students make mistakes when it comes to the basic structures. ___15___ So, if you can confidently use the Present Simple, Past Simple, Present Perfect, etc., creating negatives or asking questions quickly and accurately, you’ll really impress the people you’re talking to. Go for it!
A. Then, cover the table and try to write it out.
B. This will really help with your language learning.
C. For example, they will leave “s” out in “she or he talks”.
D. You can replace the verb you’ve learnt with any other one.
E. Here are five reasons why memorizing grammar tables is a good idea.
F. It’s easy for you to transform them into the words you are familiar with.
G. Having the structures firmly in your head will make reproducing them much easier.
【答案】11. E 12. D 13. G 14. B 15. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。记忆语法表听起来可能不是提高英语的最令人兴奋的方法,但它是非常有效的。文章主要说明了应该记住语法的五个理由。
【11题详解】
根据上文Memorizing grammar tables may not sound like the most exciting way to improve your English, but it’s highly effective.可知记忆语法表听起来可能不是提高英语的最令人兴奋的方法,但它是非常有效的。由此可知,上文提到了记忆语法表示有效的办法,后文则是说明了五个应该记忆语法的理由,故E选项“这里有五个理由说明为什么记忆语法表是一个好主意”符合语境,故选E。
【12题详解】
根据上文By memorizing the basic structures, you’ll be able to generate thousands of other sentences.(通过记住这些基本结构,你将能够生成成千上万的其他句子)以及后文For example, if you learn the sentence, “I’ve never seen it”, just change the verb “seen” for “heard”. It’s that simple!( 例如,如果你学了“I’ve never seen it”这句话,就把动词“seen”换成“heard”。就这么简单!)由此可知,本句承上启下说明,记住了语法的基本结构,你就可以通过替换单词的方法,来生成其他许多的句子。故D选项“你可以用其他任何一个动词来替换你学过的动词”符合语境,故选D。
【13题详解】
根据后文You won’t have to think or translate—the structures will just come out automatically. This will leave you valuable time to dedicate to other really useful things such as learning lots of new vocabulary or improving your listening skills.可知你不需要思考或翻译——结构就会自动生成。这会给你留下宝贵的时间去做其他真正有用的事情,比如学习新词汇或提高听力技能。由此可知,记住了语法结构,就不要需要思考或翻译,能够更容易复制出这些结构。故G选项“把这些结构牢牢记在脑子里会让你更容易复制出它们”符合语境,故选G。
【14题详解】
本句为本段最后一句,有总结作用。结合上文If you learn the grammar tables, you won’t have to spend so much time studying grammar. Once you’ve got the basic structure in your head, you can focus on learning lots of new words, building up your listening skills and doing lots of reading.可知如果你学会了语法表,你就不用花那么多时间学习语法了。一旦你的头脑中有了基本的结构,你就可以集中精力学习大量的新单词,提高你的听力技能和做大量的阅读。由此可知,学会了语法,可以集中精力学习大量的新单词,提高你的听力技能和做大量的阅读,这对语言学习很有帮助。故B选项“这对你的语言学习很有帮助”符合语境,故选B。
【15题详解】
根据上文Even advanced students make mistakes when it comes to the basic structures.可知即使是高年级学生在学习基本结构时也会犯错误。由此可知,本句承接上文,举例说明高年级学生会犯哪种错误。故C选项“例如,他们会在‘she or he talks’中遗漏‘s’”符合语境,故选C。

37. of 38. particularly
39. refusing
40. a 41. is
42. Delayed
43. angrier
44. causes 45. who / that
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了乘坐公交车、飞机和火车等交通工具会遇到的一些烦人事。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态语态。主语report与谓语动词divide构成被动关系,且陈述客观事实应用一般现在时,故用一般现在时的被动语态。主语为单数名词report,谓语动词用单数。故填is divided。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:交通工具在榜单中排名相当靠前,公共汽车、飞机和火车都能把我们逼疯。表示“能够做某事”短语为be capable of doing sth.。故填of。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:公共汽车最让我们恼火的事情包括错过了公共汽车,特别是在跑到公共汽车站之后,以及公共汽车上挤在入口附近的人拒绝走到公共汽车的后面。修饰后文介词短语after running to the bus stop应用副词particularly,表示“特别”。故填particularly。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知refuse在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语people构成主动关系,故应用现在分词。故填refusing。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。名词queue此处表泛指应用不定冠词,且slow-moving为辅音音素开头的单词,故应用a。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查主谓一致。本句陈述客观事实应用一般现在时,且句子主语为动名词短语Getting in a slow-moving queue to check in our baggage when our flight is about to leave,故谓语动词应用单数。故填is。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知delay在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语flights构成被动关系,故应用过去分词作定语。句首单词首字母要大写。故填Delayed。
【43题详解】
考查比较级。句意:航班延误显然很烦人,但拒绝让我们了解最新旅行信息的航空公司让我们更加愤怒。结合句意表示“更愤怒的”,应用形容词比较级angrier。故填angrier。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。cause为可数名词,句中为一般现在时,后文bother为动词原形,可知此处应用复数形式。故填causes。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。此处为定语从句修饰先行词passengers,且先行词在从句中作主语,指人,故应用关系代词who或that。故填who / that。

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
There Are No Vans
To me, what Thanksgiving really means is giving good thanks, not eating turkey.By the time I was 18 I had created my Thanksgiving ritual (惯例).I would go out shopping and buy enough food for one or two families.Then I would dress like a delivery boy, go to the poorest neighborhood and just knock on a door, and would always include a note saying “All that I ask in return is that you take good enough care of yourself so that someday you can do the same thing for someone else.” I have received more from this annual ritual than I have from any amount of money I’ve ever earned, especially one such experience in New York City.
Several years ago I was in New York City with my newly married wife during Thanksgiving.She was sad because we were not with our family.Normally she would be home decorating the house for Christmas, but we were stuck here in a hotel room.I said, “Honey, look, why don’t we decorate some lives today instead of some trees?” When I told her what I always do on Thanksgiving, she got excited.I said, “Let’s go someplace where we can really appreciate who we are, what we are able to do and what we can really give.Let’s go to the poor neighborhood Harlem and feed some people there in need.We’ll go buy enough food for six or seven families for 30 days.We’ve got enough.Let’s go do it!”
We started by getting a van (货车), but there seemed no vans in all of New York City.The rent-a-car places were all out of vans.My wife was disappointed, and I said, “Look, the bottom line is that if we want something, we can make it happen! All we have to do is take action.There are plenty of vans here in New York City.Look down at the street.Do you see all those vans? Let’s go get one!” My wife agreed and we took action.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;
3.续写部分分为两段,每段开头语已为你写好;
4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1:
We tried stopping vans as they were driving down the street.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Eventually a van drove up and the driver said yes.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We tried stopping vans as they were driving down the street. I learned something about New York drivers that day: They don’t stop; they speed up. We’d go over, knock on the window and the driver would roll it down, looking at us in alarm, and I’d ask if he would drive us to Harlem so we could help some people. Every time the driver would look away quickly, furiously roll up the window and pull away without saying anything. My wife was ready to give up, but I said, “It’s the law of averages:somebody is going to say yes.”
Eventually a van drove up and the driver said yes.We were wild with joy and climbed onto the van. Upon arrival, he led us to a store where we bought lots of food and some baskets. Together we packed them up, carried them onto the van and went to buildings where there were even people living without electricity.It was a truly fulfilling experience to make even a small difference. Miracles like this happen every day—even in a city where “there are no vans.”
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇读后续写作文。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知,上文提到了作者每当感恩节时,就会出去购物,为一两个家庭买足够的食物,然后穿得像一个送报员,去最贫穷的社区敲门,还总是附上一张纸条。然而几年前,作者和新婚的妻子在纽约过感恩节时,被困在了酒店,妻子提议去贫穷的哈莱姆区,给那里一些需要帮助的人提供食物。但是他们发现似乎整个纽约都弄不到一辆货车,妻子很失望,但是提议去下面的接到拦一辆货车。
续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:我们试着拦住沿街行驶的货车。所以后文应该是讲述作者和妻子在路边拦货车的经过,他们被许多司机拒绝了;第二段开头是:最后一辆货车开了过来,司机答应了。本段应该写作者和妻子如何拦到了车,去买了许多东西送给穷人,作者认为这是一个真正令人满意的经历,即使是一个小的改变。这样的奇迹每天都在发生——即使是在一个“没有货车”的城市。
续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度,我们要熟悉所给划线词语,恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右;续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当,使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如:speed up,furiously,be ready to等高级词汇;We’d go over, knock on the window and the driver would roll it down, looking at us in alarm, and I’d ask if he would drive us to Harlem so we could help some people.宾语从句;Together we packed them up, carried them onto the van and went to buildings where there were even people living without electricity.定语从句等高级句式。

A
For days, Hunter Mollett had little to eat but he insisted on heading to Enterprise High School in Mississippi. He never complained; he’d simply do his work, hang about with friends and attend band practice. Finally, after four days, Hunter’s mom found some peas and cornmeal and made a meal for them.
In high school, Mollett experienced various degrees of homelessness. However, as one of the smartest students in his grade, when struggling to find stable housing, he also wanted to attend Harvard University.
Jackie Lewis first learned of his dream when she met him in her ninth-grade algebra class. “He told me he was going to Harvard,” she said, “but I was unsure if he was going to make it.” However, after having Mollett in class, Lewis changed her views on his chances in the Ivy League.
Mollett first decided on Harvard when he was in Grade One when he was watching Boston Legal with his mother. He asked her how the characters became lawyers. She said they went to Harvard. Though he didn’t know if she was just joking, Mollett decided that was where he wanted to go.
When Mollett’s teachers learned of his unstable housing, they started helping when they could. If Mollett needed some books, a teacher would buy them for him. If he needed a ride, someone would take him. Meanwhile, Mollett worked hard toward his goal of becoming a lawyer. He took his tests and started applying to colleges, including Mississippi State University and Harvard.
Soon he learned Mississippi State University accepted him and offered him a full scholarship. Then he got an e-mail about financial aid at Harvard even before his university acceptance letter. He felt bewildered.
“I sat there for 16 minutes just staring at my phone. I couldn’t believe I got in.” Mollett said.
1. What made Hunter Mollett set the goal of going to Harvard?
A. His mother’s joke. B. The inspiration from a TV play.
C. His friend’s encouragement. D. His teacher’s support and help.
2. Which word can replace the underlined word “bewildered” in Paragraph 6?
A. Confused. B. Satisfied. C. Frustrated. D. Upset.
3. Which of the following words can best describe Mollett?
A. Social and intelligent. B. Confident and patient.
C. Ambitious and considerate. D. Determined and diligent.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了Hunter Mollett在一部电视剧的影响下,设定了上哈佛大学的目标。并为这个目标不断努力奋斗,最终被成功录取的故事。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段Mollett first decided on Harvard when he was in Grade One when he was watching Boston Legal with his mother. He asked her how the characters became lawyers. She said they went to Harvard. Though he didn’t know if she was just joking, Mollett decided that was where he wanted to go.可知Mollett第一次决定上哈佛大学是在他一年级的时候,当时他和母亲在看《律师风云》。他问她这些角色是如何成为律师的。她说他们上的是哈佛大学。尽管Mollett不知道她是不是在开玩笑,但他还是决定去那个地方。由此可知,是一部电视剧的灵感让Hunter Mollett设定了上哈佛大学的目标。故选B。
【2题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文Soon he learned Mississippi State University accepted him and offered him a full scholarship. Then he got an e-mail about financial aid at Harvard even before his university acceptance letter.可知不久,他得知密西西比州立大学接受了他,并给了他全额奖学金。然后,他在大学录取通知书之前就收到了一封关于哈佛大学经济资助的邮件。以及下一段“I sat there for 16 minutes just staring at my phone. I couldn’t believe I got in.” Mollett said.可知“我在那里坐了16分钟,一直盯着手机。我不敢相信我被录取了。”Mollett说。由此可知,突然被密西西比州立大学录取,还收到了哈佛大学的资助,让Mollett一时间感到很困惑,觉得不敢相信。故划线词意思为“困惑的”。A. Confused.困惑的;B. Satisfied.满意的;C. Frustrated.懊恼的;D. Upset.沮丧的。故选A。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中Meanwhile, Mollett worked hard toward his goal of becoming a lawyer. He took his tests and started applying to colleges, including Mississippi State University and Harvard.可知与此同时,Mollett朝着成为律师的目标努力工作。他参加了考试并开始申请大学,包括密西西比州立大学和哈佛大学。结合文章主要记叙了Hunter Mollett在一部电视剧的影响下,设定了上哈佛大学的目标。并为这个目标不断努力奋斗,最终被成功录取的故事。由此可推知,Mollett是个有决心和勤奋的人。故选D。

There is a chill wind blowing through the campus of Keele University these days and it’s nothing to do with the weather.
Students fear the recession(经济衰退) and the downturn in graduate recruitment may mean their studies lead them nowhere. Students’ Union president Talah Omran AI Rubaie already has her degree, and will give up her union post this summer, but she’s not looking forward to launching herself onto the job market.She said, “For most of us, the fact that you are graduating today or tomorrow but might not be able to get a job is a very scary prospect.I think it also has an impact on the students that have just graduated from high school, who’re thinking ‘Is it worth coming to university, is it worth getting a degree?’”
In the Union café, students’ life goes on as it always has.But these undergraduates know the bubble of academia will not protect them from the recession for long.Particularly over Christmas and Easter when you’re only home for months, no one’s got any jobs to give out for a few weeks.
As the recession deepens, some students find themselves in a dilemma: to stay at university, continue their studies, and hope the graduate job market improves by the time they leave, or to start right now and take a job, any job, so they don’t get left on the employment shelf.
Keele’s performance in the graduate jobs market has been good so far.The latest figures available show 95% of students leaving do get a job, but that was before the economy fell off a cliff, and the university is working hard to equip its students with the skills to compete in an ever gloomier employment field.
4. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To attract the readers. B. To present the opinion.
C. To introduce the Keele University. D. To describe the British weather.
5. Why did Keele have a good performance in the graduate job market?
A. Its students are well-equipped with necessary skills for competition.
B. Its students care little about whether the jobs they get are good or not.
C. Its students are well-protected by the bubble of academia from the recession.
D. Its students are not bothered by whether to step into real society right now or not.
6. What is the text mainly about?
A. Graduates of Keele University are faced with a dilemma.
B. To find a job is difficult for the students of Keele University.
C. The recession does impact the graduates of Keele University.
D. Keele University is trying its best to help its graduates to get a good job.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了基尔大学的学生们担心经济衰退和毕业生招聘的下降可能意味着他们的学业将导致他们无处可去。文章从学生的角度分析了他们所面临的两难境地:是留在大学继续学习,还是现在就开始工作。该校正在努力培养学生的技能,使他们能够在日益黯淡的就业领域竞争。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段There is a chill wind blowing through the campus of Keele University these days and it’s nothing to do with the weather.(这几天,基尔大学校园里刮着一股寒风,这与天气无关)以及第二段第一句Students fear the recession(经济衰退) and the downturn in graduate recruitment may mean their studies lead them nowhere.(学生们担心经济衰退和毕业生招聘的下降可能意味着他们的学业将导致他们无处可去)由此可推知,第1段用校园里刮起了寒风来比喻经济衰退对基尔大学的影响,故第一段的目的是为了吸引读者。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Keele’s performance in the graduate jobs market has been good so far.The latest figures available show 95% of students leaving do get a job, but that was before the economy fell off a cliff, and the university is working hard to equip its students with the skills to compete in an ever gloomier employment field.可知到目前为止,基尔大学在毕业生就业市场上的表现一直不错。可获得的最新数据显示,95%的离校学生都找到了工作,但那是在经济还没有跌落悬崖的时候,学校正在努力让学生掌握技能,以便在日益低迷的就业市场中竞争。由此可知,基尔大学在毕业生就业市场上表现出色,因为它的学生都具备了必要的竞争技能。故选A。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中Students fear the recession(经济衰退) and the downturn in graduate recruitment may mean their studies lead them nowhere.可知学生们担心经济衰退和毕业生招聘的下降可能意味着他们的学业将导致他们无处可去。结合文章还从学生的角度分析了他们所面临的两难境地:是留在大学继续学习,还是现在就开始工作。该校正在努力培养学生的技能,使他们能够在日益黯淡的就业领域竞争。由此可知,这篇文章的主要内容是经济衰退确实影响了基尔大学的毕业生。故选C。

Every time we get on a plane, we’re asked to either turn off our phones or change them to flight mode—it’s for “security reasons”.But according to The Conversation website, having to turn our phones off on a plane is “a service issue, not a safety one”.When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference to the aircraft’s radios and pilots can hear this interference in their headphones.“It’s the same noise you’ll be familiar with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,” the Mirror noted.“It is not safety-critical, but is annoying for sure.” Though speaking on a phone during a flight isn’t dangerous, from the viewpoint of service, it isn’t still a good idea.
When we make or receive a call on the ground, we connect to a cell tower that deals with all calls within an 80-kilometer radius (半径).As we move from place to place we are “handed on” to different cell towers.As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, for this system to work, there are “built-in” expectations:There shouldn’t be too many “handoffs” and people shouldn’t be traveling faster than car speeds.“Of course, phone users should be close to the ground.” he added.If we were to make phone calls while we flew, however, none of these expectations would be met.And even worse, our cellphones would stop working.
But now things are beginning to change.If we still can’t speak during a flight, we can use other phone functions.For example, Airbus A330 of Emirates Airlines has inflight WiFi to make passengers send and receive short messages in the air.In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely.The breakthrough could be “pico cells”, which are small cell towers on the plane itself.There would no longer be connections made between phones and the ground and therefore there would be no danger of disruption to phone service.
One day, perhaps, we will be chatting in the air as much as we chat on the ground.
7. Why are passengers required to turn off their phones on a plane?
A. Because using phones will pose a threat to their safety.
B. Because using phones may cause annoying noise to pilots.
C. Because turning off phones can ensure passengers a better service.
D. Because phones will fail to be connected to the cell tower when in the air.
8. How many “build-in” expectations are mentioned by Sven Bilen to help make a phone call?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
9. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People should travel slower than airplane speeds to make a phone call successfully.
B. Passengers are likely to make or receive phone calls freely on a plane in the future.
C. “Pico cells” has been applied by airlines to provide passengers with good phone service.
D. Passengers can receive calls on Airbus A330 of Emirates Airlines with the help of inflight WiFi.
10. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A science fiction. B. A travel journal. C. A guidebook. D. A magazine.
【答案】7. B 8. C 9. B 10. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。作者主要向我们介绍了在飞机上需要关闭手机的原因以及未来对可以在飞机上拨打或接听电话的期望。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference to the aircraft’s radios and pilots can hear this interference in their headphones. .“It’s the same noise you’ll be familiar with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,”可知,当我们在空中用手机通话时,它们会对飞机的无线电设备造成干扰,飞行员可以在耳机中听到这种干扰。“如果你把手机放得离扬声器太近的话,这和你熟悉的噪音是一样的,”由此可以看出,乘客在飞机上必须关闭手机的原因是使用电话可能会给飞行员带来烦人的噪音。故选B。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, for this system to work, there are “built-in” expectations:There shouldn’t be too many “handoffs” and people shouldn’t be traveling faster than car speeds.“Of course, phone users should be close to the ground.” he added.If we were to make phone calls while we flew, however, none of these expectations would be met.And even worse, our cellphones would stop working.可知,如美国科学家斯文·比伦解释说,为了让这个系统工作,有“内置”期望结论:应该有不要太多“交接班”和人们的旅行速度不应该超过汽车的速度。“当然,电话用户应该靠近地面。”分析可知,一共有三个内置期望被提到来帮助打电话。分别是应该有不要太多“交接班”,人们的旅行速度不应该超过汽车的速度,电话用户应该靠近地面。所以一共有三个内置期望被提到来帮助打电话。故选 C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely.可知,航空旅客可以自由地拨打和接收电话。再根据最后一段One day, perhaps, we will be chatting in the air as much as we chat on the ground.可知,也许有一天,我们会像在地上聊天一样,在空中聊天。因此可以看出,我们从这篇文章可以推断出乘客将来可能会在飞机上自由拨打或接听电话。故选B 。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。分析可知,文章主要讲了在飞机上需要关闭手机的原因以及未来对可以在飞机上拨打或接听电话的期望。所以应该来自一本杂志符合题意,故选D。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。选项中有两项多余选项。
Memorizing grammar tables may not sound like the most exciting way to improve your English, but it’s highly effective.___11___
It’s easy!
You can communicate effectively in English with very few basic structures. Simply get hold of the verb tables of the most common structures (the present simple, the past simple, the future forms, the present perfect, etc.) and learn them by heart.
It’s effective!
By memorizing the basic structures, you’ll be able to generate thousands of other sentences. ___12___For example, if you learn the sentence, “I’ve never seen it”, just change the verb “seen” for “heard”. It’s that simple!
It’s helpful!
___13___You won’t have to think or translate—the structures will just come out automatically. This will leave you valuable time to dedicate to other really useful things such as learning lots of new vocabulary or improving your listening skills.
It’s efficient!
If you learn the grammar tables, you won’t have to spend so much time studying grammar. Once you’ve got the basic structure in your head, you can focus on learning lots of new words, building up your listening skills and doing lots of reading. ___14___
It’s impressive!
Even advanced students make mistakes when it comes to the basic structures. ___15___ So, if you can confidently use the Present Simple, Past Simple, Present Perfect, etc., creating negatives or asking questions quickly and accurately, you’ll really impress the people you’re talking to. Go for it!
A. Then, cover the table and try to write it out.
B. This will really help with your language learning.
C. For example, they will leave “s” out in “she or he talks”.
D. You can replace the verb you’ve learnt with any other one.
E. Here are five reasons why memorizing grammar tables is a good idea.
F. It’s easy for you to transform them into the words you are familiar with.
G. Having the structures firmly in your head will make reproducing them much easier.
【答案】11. E 12. D 13. G 14. B 15. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。记忆语法表听起来可能不是提高英语的最令人兴奋的方法,但它是非常有效的。文章主要说明了应该记住语法的五个理由。
【11题详解】
根据上文Memorizing grammar tables may not sound like the most exciting way to improve your English, but it’s highly effective.可知记忆语法表听起来可能不是提高英语的最令人兴奋的方法,但它是非常有效的。由此可知,上文提到了记忆语法表示有效的办法,后文则是说明了五个应该记忆语法的理由,故E选项“这里有五个理由说明为什么记忆语法表是一个好主意”符合语境,故选E。
【12题详解】
根据上文By memorizing the basic structures, you’ll be able to generate thousands of other sentences.(通过记住这些基本结构,你将能够生成成千上万的其他句子)以及后文For example, if you learn the sentence, “I’ve never seen it”, just change the verb “seen” for “heard”. It’s that simple!( 例如,如果你学了“I’ve never seen it”这句话,就把动词“seen”换成“heard”。就这么简单!)由此可知,本句承上启下说明,记住了语法的基本结构,你就可以通过替换单词的方法,来生成其他许多的句子。故D选项“你可以用其他任何一个动词来替换你学过的动词”符合语境,故选D。
【13题详解】
根据后文You won’t have to think or translate—the structures will just come out automatically. This will leave you valuable time to dedicate to other really useful things such as learning lots of new vocabulary or improving your listening skills.可知你不需要思考或翻译——结构就会自动生成。这会给你留下宝贵的时间去做其他真正有用的事情,比如学习新词汇或提高听力技能。由此可知,记住了语法结构,就不要需要思考或翻译,能够更容易复制出这些结构。故G选项“把这些结构牢牢记在脑子里会让你更容易复制出它们”符合语境,故选G。
【14题详解】
本句为本段最后一句,有总结作用。结合上文If you learn the grammar tables, you won’t have to spend so much time studying grammar. Once you’ve got the basic structure in your head, you can focus on learning lots of new words, building up your listening skills and doing lots of reading.可知如果你学会了语法表,你就不用花那么多时间学习语法了。一旦你的头脑中有了基本的结构,你就可以集中精力学习大量的新单词,提高你的听力技能和做大量的阅读。由此可知,学会了语法,可以集中精力学习大量的新单词,提高你的听力技能和做大量的阅读,这对语言学习很有帮助。故B选项“这对你的语言学习很有帮助”符合语境,故选B。
【15题详解】
根据上文Even advanced students make mistakes when it comes to the basic structures.可知即使是高年级学生在学习基本结构时也会犯错误。由此可知,本句承接上文,举例说明高年级学生会犯哪种错误。故C选项“例如,他们会在‘she or he talks’中遗漏‘s’”符合语境,故选C。

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了乘坐公交车、飞机和火车等交通工具会遇到的一些烦人事。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态语态。主语report与谓语动词divide构成被动关系,且陈述客观事实应用一般现在时,故用一般现在时的被动语态。主语为单数名词report,谓语动词用单数。故填is divided。
【37题详解】

【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:公共汽车最让我们恼火的事情包括错过了公共汽车,特别是在跑到公共汽车站之后,以及公共汽车上挤在入口附近的人拒绝走到公共汽车的后面。修饰后文介词短语after running to the bus stop应用副词particularly,表示“特别”。故填particularly。

考查冠词。名词queue此处表泛指应用不定冠词,且slow-moving为辅音音素开头的单词,故应用a。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查主谓一致。本句陈述客观事实应用一般现在时,且句子主语为动名词短语Getting in a slow-moving queue to check in our baggage when our flight is about to leave,故谓语动词应用单数。故填is。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知delay在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语flights构成被动关系,故应用过去分词作定语。句首单词首字母要大写。故填Delayed。
【43题详解】
考查比较级。句意:航班延误显然很烦人,但拒绝让我们了解最新旅行信息的航空公司让我们更加愤怒。结合句意表示“更愤怒的”,应用形容词比较级angrier。故填angrier。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。cause为可数名词,句中为一般现在时,后文bother为动词原形,可知此处应用复数形式。故填causes。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。此处为定语从句修饰先行词passengers,且先行词在从句中作主语,指人,故应用关系代词who或that。故填who / that。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
There Are No Vans
To me, what Thanksgiving really means is giving good thanks, not eating turkey.By the time I was 18 I had created my Thanksgiving ritual (惯例).I would go out shopping and buy enough food for one or two families.Then I would dress like a delivery boy, go to the poorest neighborhood and just knock on a door, and would always include a note saying “All that I ask in return is that you take good enough care of yourself so that someday you can do the same thing for someone else.” I have received more from this annual ritual than I have from any amount of money I’ve ever earned, especially one such experience in New York City.
Several years ago I was in New York City with my newly married wife during Thanksgiving.She was sad because we were not with our family.Normally she would be home decorating the house for Christmas, but we were stuck here in a hotel room.I said, “Honey, look, why don’t we decorate some lives today instead of some trees?” When I told her what I always do on Thanksgiving, she got excited.I said, “Let’s go someplace where we can really appreciate who we are, what we are able to do and what we can really give.Let’s go to the poor neighborhood Harlem and feed some people there in need.We’ll go buy enough food for six or seven families for 30 days.We’ve got enough.Let’s go do it!”
We started by getting a van (货车), but there seemed no vans in all of New York City.The rent-a-car places were all out of vans.My wife was disappointed, and I said, “Look, the bottom line is that if we want something, we can make it happen! All we have to do is take action.There are plenty of vans here in New York City.Look down at the street.Do you see all those vans? Let’s go get one!” My wife agreed and we took action.

【答案】We tried stopping vans as they were driving down the street. I learned something about New York drivers that day: They don’t stop; they speed up. We’d go over, knock on the window and the driver would roll it down, looking at us in alarm, and I’d ask if he would drive us to Harlem so we could help some people. Every time the driver would look away quickly, furiously roll up the window and pull away without saying anything. My wife was ready to give up, but I said, “It’s the law of averages:somebody is going to say yes.”
Eventually a van drove up and the driver said yes.We were wild with joy and climbed onto the van. Upon arrival, he led us to a store where we bought lots of food and some baskets. Together we packed them up, carried them onto the van and went to buildings where there were even people living without electricity.It was a truly fulfilling experience to make even a small difference. Miracles like this happen every day—even in a city where “there are no vans.”
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇读后续写作文。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知,上文提到了作者每当感恩节时,就会出去购物,为一两个家庭买足够的食物,然后穿得像一个送报员,去最贫穷的社区敲门,还总是附上一张纸条。然而几年前,作者和新婚的妻子在纽约过感恩节时,被困在了酒店,妻子提议去贫穷的哈莱姆区,给那里一些需要帮助的人提供食物。但是他们发现似乎整个纽约都弄不到一辆货车,妻子很失望,但是提议去下面的接到拦一辆货车。
续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:我们试着拦住沿街行驶的货车。所以后文应该是讲述作者和妻子在路边拦货车的经过,他们被许多司机拒绝了;第二段开头是:最后一辆货车开了过来,司机答应了。本段应该写作者和妻子如何拦到了车,去买了许多东西送给穷人,作者认为这是一个真正令人满意的经历,即使是一个小的改变。这样的奇迹每天都在发生——即使是在一个“没有货车”的城市。
续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度,我们要熟悉所给划线词语,恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右;续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当,使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如:speed up,furiously,be ready to等高级词汇;We’d go over, knock on the window and the driver would roll it down, looking at us in alarm, and I’d ask if he would drive us to Harlem so we could help some people.宾语从句;Together we packed them up, carried them onto the van and went to buildings where there were even people living without electricity.定语从句等高级句式。
