Martha Payne is 9 years old. She lives in a small community in Scotland. Martha is interested in the food at her school. She is interested in how good it tastes, and how healthy it is, and whether it contains any hairs. A few months ago, she started to write a blog about her school dinners. She photographed her school dinners, and then posted the pictures on her blog and told us what she thought about the food. Most days, she thought the food was OK, and on some days she thought it was really good.
Children in other schools and other countries, started to read Martha's blog. Some of them left comments on Martha's school dinners. And some sent Martha pictures of their own school dinners, and Martha published these on her blog. Then Martha started to use her blog to raise money for a charity called Mary's Meals, which provides school meals for children in poor communities in developing countries.
And at this point, the officials who run the education system in the part of Scotland where Martha lives became aware of her blog. They didn't want publicity for the food in their schools. Perhaps they were afraid that people would start to criticize (批评) their school dinners and say that they were unhealthy. They said that Martha's blog had to stop.
Martha's head teacher told Martha the bad news, and Martha was sad and wrote a final blog post to say goodbye to her readers. The newspapers, the radio and the television all carried stories about Martha's blog. This was not at all what the officials wanted. A day later, they decided that Martha could continue writing her blog about her school dinners, and taking pictures of them.
4. Why does Martha write a blog about her school dinners?
A. She wants to learn to cook.
B. She is interested in the school food.
C. She wants the school food improved.
D She is worried about the school food.
5. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Martha's blog didn't reach far.
B. Martha's blog wasn't quite successful.
C. Martha's blog received wide attention.
D. Martha's blog helped to raise a lot of money.
6. Why did the officials want to stop Martha's blog?
A The school food was unhealthy.
B. Martha gave bad comments on her blog.
C. The public thought poorly of the school food.
D. They were afraid the school food would be criticized.
7. What made the officials give in finally?
A. Martha's great fame.
B. Support from the press.
C. The popularity of Martha's blog.
D. Support from Martha's head teacher.
C
Perhaps you know them as “taters”, “spuds”, or “Kennebees”, or as “chips”, “Idahoes”, or even “shoestrings”. No matter, a potato by any other name is still a potato — the world’s most widely grown vegetable. As a matter of fact, if you are an average potato eater, you will put away at least 100 pounds of them each year.
That’s only a tiny amount grown every year, however. Worldwide, the annual potato harvest is over 6 billion bags. Each bag contains 100 pounds of potatoes, some of them as large as four pounds each. Here in the United States, farmers fill about 400 million bags a year. That may seem like a lot of “taters”, but it leaves the United States a distant third among world potato growers. Polish farmers dig up just over 800 million bags a year, while the Russians lead the world with nearly 1.5 billion bags.
People eat potatoes in many ways-baked, mashed, and roasted, to name just three. However, in the United States most potatoes are devoured in the form of French fries. One fast-food chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared.
Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at these popular restaurants, it must pass many separate tests. Fail any one of these tests and the potato is rejected. For example, only Russet Burbank potatoes are used. These Idaho potatoes have less water content than other kinds, which can have as much as 80 percent water. Once cut into “shoestrings” shapes, the potatoes are partly fried in a secret blend of oils, sprayed with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, then flash frozen for shipment to individual restaurants.
So, now that you realize the enormous size and value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes”.
8. What can we learn from the passage about potato?
A. One potato can weigh 4 pounds.
B. Taters don’t belong to the category of potato.
C. Potato lovers eat 100 pounds of potato every day.
D. Polish farmers harvest the most potatoes in the world.
9. What does the underlined word “devoured” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. consumed B. planted C. produced D. harvested
10. How does paragraph 4 mainly develop?
A. By making comparison. B. By listing figures.
C. By providing examples. D. By following the order of space.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Potatoes are disliked by many people. B. Potatoes have experienced many changes.
C. Potatoes have been made into different food. D. Potatoes are small, but the industry is large.
D
The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connect ion between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults, we face a version(版本) of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism(机制) to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining (获取) calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch(不匹配) is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist (抵抗) tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative (有重大影响的) environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized (高度重视) new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now endlessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful (深思熟虑的) about our caloric consumption (热量消耗), we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.
12. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test?
A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers.
C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes.
13. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ______.
A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs
C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit
14. What does the author suggest readers do?
A. Absorb new information readily (欣然地). B. Use diverse information sources.
C. Be selective information consumers. D. Protect the information environment.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans
C. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups D. The Marshmallow Test for Children.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的故事。
As usual, the whole class burst out laughing as Patric rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped pajama (条纹睡衣) top underneath, and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green sandals (凉鞋) that were two sizes too big. The physics teacher’s hand froze in the middle of writing a formula (公式) on the blackboard.
Patric mumbled, “Sorry, teacher,” and rushed to his seat. Mr Gao glared (怒视) at the rest of the students. The chuckles (轻声笑) quickly stopped. Patric’s classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Patric’s late arrival and his odd appearance, which usually included improper clothing. That day, it was the pajama top and green sandals.
Patric lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school every day. Students passing by in buses would yell his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry classmates in the bus, he would wave kindly. Although Patric was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Kevin, who sat next to Patric , tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Patric did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Kevin decided to walk over to Patric’s house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Patric must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Kevin let himself in. He called Patric’s name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Kevin peered (仔细看) in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Patric was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow (琴弓) over the strings expertly. He played flawlessly (完美无瑕地), so much so that it sounded like a recording. Kevin left quietly.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
With the Teacher’s Day approaching, Kevin had a plan.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The yearly event is hosted by Smithsonian magazine and involves museums and cultural institutions coming together to offer free admission for visitors who would otherwise have to pay for entry.(一年一度的活动由史密森尼杂志主办,博物馆和文化机构联合起来为那些需要付费的游客提供免费入场)”可知,今年的博物馆和文化机构进行了合作。故选A项。

Martha Payne is 9 years old. She lives in a small community in Scotland. Martha is interested in the food at her school. She is interested in how good it tastes, and how healthy it is, and whether it contains any hairs. A few months ago, she started to write a blog about her school dinners. She photographed her school dinners, and then posted the pictures on her blog and told us what she thought about the food. Most days, she thought the food was OK, and on some days she thought it was really good.
Children in other schools, and other countries, started to read Martha's blog. Some of them left comments on Martha's school dinners. And some sent Martha pictures of their own school dinners, and Martha published these on her blog. Then Martha started to use her blog to raise money for a charity called Mary's Meals, which provides school meals for children in poor communities in developing countries.
And at this point, the officials who run the education system in the part of Scotland where Martha lives became aware of her blog. They didn't want publicity for the food in their schools. Perhaps they were afraid that people would start to criticize (批评) their school dinners and say that they were unhealthy. They said that Martha's blog had to stop.
Martha's head teacher told Martha the bad news, and Martha was sad and wrote a final blog post to say goodbye to her readers. The newspapers, the radio and the television all carried stories about Martha's blog. This was not at all what the officials wanted. A day later, they decided that Martha could continue writing her blog about her school dinners, and taking pictures of them.
4. Why does Martha write a blog about her school dinners?
A. She wants to learn to cook.
B. She is interested in the school food.
C. She wants the school food improved.
D. She is worried about the school food.
5. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Martha's blog didn't reach far.
B. Martha's blog wasn't quite successful.
C. Martha's blog received wide attention.
D. Martha's blog helped to raise a lot of money.
6. Why did the officials want to stop Martha's blog?
A. The school food was unhealthy.
B. Martha gave bad comments on her blog.
C The public thought poorly of the school food.
D. They were afraid the school food would be criticized.
7. What made the officials give in finally?
A. Martha's great fame.
B. Support from the press.
C. The popularity of Martha's blog.
D. Support from Martha's head teacher.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【分析】试题分析:本文是一篇新闻报道。讲述九岁的女孩Martha Payne对学校里的食物感兴趣,经常写一些关于学校里的食物的博客,还拍照片贴到她的博客里。她的博客受到广泛的欢迎,Martha还利用博客为贫穷的孩子募捐。但是政府官员担心人们批评学校里的食物,想要关闭Martha的博客,最终在媒体的支持下他们允许Martha继续写这些博客。

Perhaps you know them as “taters”, “spuds”, or “Kennebees”, or as “chips”, “Idahoes”, or even “shoestrings”. No matter, a potato by any other name is still a potato — the world’s most widely grown vegetable. As a matter of fact, if you are an average potato eater, you will put away at least 100 pounds of them each year.
That’s only a tiny amount grown every year, however. Worldwide, the annual potato harvest is over 6 billion bags. Each bag contains 100 pounds of potatoes, some of them as large as four pounds each. Here in the United States, farmers fill about 400 million bags a year. That may seem like a lot of “taters”, but it leaves the United States a distant third among world potato growers. Polish farmers dig up just over 800 million bags a year, while the Russians lead the world with nearly 1.5 billion bags.
People eat potatoes in many ways-baked, mashed, and roasted, to name just three. However, in the United States most potatoes are devoured in the form of French fries. One fast-food chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared.
Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at these popular restaurants, it must pass many separate tests. Fail any one of these tests and the potato is rejected. For example, only Russet Burbank potatoes are used. These Idaho potatoes have less water content than other kinds, which can have as much as 80 percent water. Once cut into “shoestrings” shapes, the potatoes are partly fried in a secret blend of oils, sprayed with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, then flash frozen for shipment to individual restaurants.
So, now that you realize the enormous size and value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes”.
8. What can we learn from the passage about potato?
A. One potato can weigh 4 pounds.
B. Taters don’t belong to the category of potato.
C. Potato lovers eat 100 pounds of potato every day.
D. Polish farmers harvest the most potatoes in the world.
9. What does the underlined word “devoured” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. consumed B. planted C. produced D. harvested
10. How does paragraph 4 mainly develop?
A. By making comparison. B. By listing figures.
C. By providing examples. D. By following the order of space.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Potatoes are disliked by many people. B. Potatoes have experienced many changes.
C. Potatoes have been made into different food. D. Potatoes are small but the industry is large.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. D

词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“in the form of French fries”以及“One fast-food chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year.(仅一家快餐连锁店每年就销售价值超过10亿美元的薯条)”可知,在美国,大多数土豆都以炸薯条的形式被吃掉。故划线词意思是“吃掉”。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at these popular restaurants, it must pass many separate tests. Fail any one of these tests and the potato is rejected. For example, only Russet Burbank potatoes are used. These Idaho potatoes have less water content than other kinds, which can have as much as 80 percent water. Once cut into “shoestrings” shapes, the potatoes are partly fried in a secret blend of oils, sprayed with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, then flash frozen for shipment to individual restaurants.(在这些受欢迎的餐馆里,人们吃到任何薯条之前,都必须通过许多单独的测试。这些测试中任何一项不合格,土豆就会被拒收。例如,只使用Russet Burbank土豆。这些爱达荷州的土豆水分含量比其他种类的土豆要少,其他种类的土豆水分含量可高达80%。土豆被切成“鞋带”的形状后,在一种秘密混合的油中煎一部分,喷洒液态糖使其变成褐色,在高温下蒸干,然后速冻运往各个餐馆)”可推知,第4段主要是通过提供例子展开的。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“So, now that you realize the enormous size and value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes.”(所以,既然你意识到马铃薯作物的巨大规模和价值,你就可以理解为什么大多数人都认为这部分食品工业不是“小土豆”)”结合文章主要介绍了土豆这种食物以及其背后巨大的行业产业链。可知,这篇文章的主旨是土豆很小,但是这个产业很大。故选D。
D
The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connect ion between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults, we face a version(版本) of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism(机制) to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining (获取) calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch(不匹配) is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist (抵抗) tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative (有重大影响的) environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized (高度重视) new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now endlessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful (深思熟虑的) about our caloric consumption (热量消耗), we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.
12. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test?
A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers.
C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes.
13. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ______.
A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs
C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit
14. What does the author suggest readers do?
A. Absorb new information readily (欣然地). B. Use diverse information sources.
C. Be selective information consumers. D. Protect the information environment.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans
C. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups D. The Marshmallow Test for Children.
【答案】12 D 13. C 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了斯坦福棉花糖实验的原理,以及将其类比到成人面对信息诱惑时的自控挑战,强调在信息丰富的时代需谨慎选择信息消费。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat.(每个孩子都被告知,如果他们吃之前等待15分钟,他们将得到第二次奖励)”可知,孩子们需要等待15分钟后再吃糖果,才能得到第二份奖励。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining(获取) calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch(不匹配) is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist (抵抗) tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.(但是,随着我们重塑了周围的世界,大大减少了获取热量的成本和努力,我们的大脑仍然和数千年前一样,而这种不匹配是我们中许多人难以抗拒我们知道不应该吃的诱人食物的核心原因)”可知,丰富的食物供应和我们不曾改变的大脑之间存在不匹配。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful(深思熟虑的) about our caloric consumption(热量消耗), we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.(因此,正如我们需要对自己的热量消耗更加深思熟虑一样,我们也需要对自己信息的消耗更加深思熟虑,抵制精神上“垃圾食品”的诱惑,才能最有效地管理我们的时间)”可知,作者建议读者做有选择性的信息消费者。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第二段“As adults, we face a version(版本) of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted(诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets —all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.(作为成年人,我们每天都要面对一个版本的棉花糖测试。我们不被甜食所诱惑,而是被我们的电脑、手机和平板电脑所诱惑——所有这些设备都将我们连接到全球各种类型的信息传递系统,这些信息对我们的影响就像棉花糖对学龄前儿童的影响一样)”可知,文章主要是讲在信息化时代我们作为成年人每天都在面对的信息诱惑与自我控制问题,类比儿童面对棉花糖测试,信息轰炸让我们摄入了太多精神“垃圾食品”,因此C选项“成年人的棉花糖测试”最适合作为文章标题。故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的故事。
As usual, the whole class burst out laughing as Patric rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped pajama (条纹睡衣) top underneath, and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green sandals (凉鞋) that were two sizes too big. The physics teacher’s hand froze in the middle of writing a formula (公式) on the blackboard.
Patric mumbled, “Sorry, teacher,” and rushed to his seat. Mr Gao glared (怒视) at the rest of the students. The chuckles (轻声笑) quickly stopped. Patric’s classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Patric’s late arrival and his odd appearance, which usually included improper clothing. That day, it was the pajama top and green sandals.
Patric lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school every day. Students passing by in buses would yell his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry classmates in the bus, he would wave kindly. Although Patric was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Kevin, who sat next to Patric , tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Patric did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Kevin decided to walk over to Patric’s house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Patric must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Kevin let himself in. He called Patric’s name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Kevin peered (仔细看) in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Patric was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow (琴弓) over the strings expertly. He played flawlessly (完美无瑕地), so much so that it sounded like a recording. Kevin left quietly.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
With the Teacher’s Day approaching, Kevin had a plan.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
As the last note (音符) ended, there was a moment of silence.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
With the teacher’s day approaching, Kevin had a plan. It was the tradition of the school to have a concert for the teachers. Every class had to contribute a program. Kevin convinced the class to let Patric perform. Short of ideas, the class agreed. On the day of the concert, both the teachers and students were surprised to see the school’s clumsiest student walking on stage with a violin. When he started to play, the audience fell silent. Jaws dropped.
As the last note ended, there was a moment of silence. Then the audience erupted into thunderous applause. After the performance, shy and silent as Patric was, he gave Kevin a big hug. Love may be silent but it was always there. Since then, Patric and Kevin have been best friends. With the encouragement of Kevin, Patric has pursued his dream of being a musician. Not only do friends keep us company but also help us to be a better self.
