Neither of his parents read poetry to him when he was little. When his fourth-grade teacher read poems in class, he thought they seemed boring. To nine-year-old Prelutsky, poetry seemed like serious business. And Prelutsky was anything but serious. “I wanted to hear poems about myself — about outer space and sports and music,” he says. “So I started to think of poetry as punishment.” Prelutsky had always taken voice and piano lessons, but when he attended New York’s High School of Music and Art, his love for music grew deeper. “I liked the way songs said what they had to say — the simple, direct, ordinary language they employed. I really think that’s what made me see poetry in a new light.” Then Prelutsky took a drawing class in his early twenties and found he wasn’t very good at life drawing. But he was good at drawing imaginary animals. In six months, Prelutsky drew a lot of imaginary animals with strange characteristics. He loved each one, but felt something was missing. “Then one evening, I looked at them and said, ‘They need poems.’ I still don’t know why I thought of it, but within half an hour, I had all the poems written.” Publishing the poems never crossed Prelutsky’s mind in those early days. But when friends fell in love with his poems, he agreed to share them with a children’s book editor. “She didn’t think much of my illustrations (插图),” he says, “but she told me that I was a natural poet and encouraged me to keep writing.” At the time, Prelutsky was surprised at the editor’s encouragement. But more than forty books later, he’s still making friends and fans laugh. From monsters to frogs, Prelutsky has turned silly into an art form. 41. What can we learn about Prelutsky when he was a kid? A. He hated poetry. B. He took sports seriously. C. He found it hard to read poems. D. He developed an interest in business. 42. What did Prelutsky think of music? A. It was a kind of punishment. B. It was something serious. C. It was simple but indirect. D. It helped him to love poetry. 43. How did drawing influence Prelutsky? A. It drove him to love music. B. It brought out his poetic skills. C. It raised his confidence in writing. D. It helped him become a famous painter. 44. How did the editor feel about Prelutsky’s poems? A. She gave them high praise. B. She was surprised by them. C. She refused to publish them. D. She showed no interest in them. 45. What is a characteristic of Prelutsky’s poems? A. They are funny. B. They are encouraging. C. They are person-centered. D. They are family-friendly. 【答案】41. A 42. D 43. B 44. A 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记，文章介绍了Jack Prelutsky如何从讨厌诗歌到最终成为著名的儿童诗人的故事。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“Neither of his parents read poetry to him when he was little. When his fourth-grade teacher read poems in class, he thought they seemed boring. To nine-year-old Prelutsky, poetry seemed like serious business. And Prelutsky was anything but serious. “I wanted to hear poems about myself — about outer space and sports and music,” he says. “So I started to think of poetry as punishment.”(在他小的时候，他父母都没有给他读过诗。当他四年级的老师在课堂上朗读诗歌时，他觉得诗歌很无聊。对9岁的Prelutsky来说，诗歌似乎是一件严肃的事情。Prelutsky一点也不严肃。“我想听到关于我自己的诗歌——关于外太空、体育和音乐，”他说。“所以我开始认为诗歌是一种惩罚。”)”可知，Prelutsky小时候讨厌诗歌。故选A。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“I liked the way songs said what they had to say — the simple, direct, ordinary language they employed. I really think that’s what made me see poetry in a new light.(我喜欢歌曲表达它们必须表达的方式——它们使用的简单、直接、普通的语言。我真的认为这让我对诗歌有了新的认识。)”可知，Prelutsky认为音乐帮助他爱上诗歌。故选D。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“In six months, Prelutsky drew a lot of imaginary animals with strange characteristics. He loved each one, but felt something was missing. “Then one evening, I looked at them and said, ‘They need poems.’ I still don’t know why I thought of it, but within half an hour, I had all the poems written.”(在六个月的时间里，Prelutsky画了许多具有奇怪特征的想象动物。他爱每一个人，但总觉得少了点什么。“然后有一天晚上，我看着它们说，‘它们需要诗歌。’我到现在也不知道自己为什么会想到这个，但不到半个小时，我就把所有的诗都写完了。”)”可知，绘画激发了他的诗歌才能。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。文章倒数第二段““She didn’t think much of my illustrations (插图),” he says, “but she told me that I was a natural poet and encouraged me to keep writing.”(“她对我的插图评价不高，”他说，“但她告诉我，我是个天生的诗人，并鼓励我继续写作。”)”可知，编辑对Prelutsky的诗歌给予了高度评价。故选A。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But more than forty books later, he’s still making friends and fans laugh. From monsters to frogs, Prelutsky has turned silly into an art form.(但在出版了四十多本书之后，他仍然能让朋友和粉丝开怀大笑。从怪物到青蛙，Prelutsky把愚蠢变成了一种艺术形式。)”可知，Prelutsky的诗歌特点在于其幽默和风趣。故选A。 C Heimaey is a small island off the southern coast of Iceland of just 4,200 people. But with its neighboring islands, it hosts the world’s largest puffin colony (海鹦群). Each spring, more than 1.5 million puffins go to the islands to breed. Around August, puffin chicks make their way to the ocean. That’s when the trouble begins. Instinct (直觉) tells puffin chicks to leave the nest at night and follow the light of the moon to the sea. But they are puzzled by Heimaey’s bright lights. Each year, a large number of them end up lost — or worse. Often, lost birds are hit by cars or eaten by cats. Each breeding season, the children of Heimaey start their own middle-of-the-night adventure, which is called the Puffling Patrol. They get together to form search parties and take to the streets of Heimaey. “When you see a bird, you try to corner it and guide it into the box,” Eldur Hansen, a 14-year-old boy said. He has caught several puffins this way. Then kids take birds home. The next morning, they take them to the beach for release (放走). Over the years, kids have even developed a gentle method. “You do not throw them like a baseball,” Eldur says. “You hold them in both hands. Then you spread your arms out in front of you and let go, so the bird is given as much energy as possible.” Before releasing puffin chicks they make a stop at the local animal center, where the birds are weighed and tagged (附上标签), for tracking purposes. This helps scientists learn more about puffins. Erpur Hansen, Eldur’s dad, is with the South East Iceland Nature Research Center. “Thanks to data collected with kids' help, we scientists have learned that puffin chicks now weigh less than in previous years. That means they have a lower chance of survival,” he says. Scientists worry puffins will die out completely. But the kids of Heimaey give energy to Erpur Hansen. “The message is that people can make a difference,” he says. “Each time these kids help a bird get back to the ocean, they show us that.” 46. What troubles puffin chicks according to the passage? A Their nests being destroyed. B. Following the light of the moon. C. Their parents being killed by humans. D. Being unable to find their way to the ocean. 47. Which of the following can be used to describe kids from the Puffling Patrol? A. Strict and shy. B. Careful and skillful. C. Sensitive and creative. D. Intelligent and talkative. 48. Why do kids tag the puffin chicks before releasing them? A. To identify them. B. To track them. C. To memorize them. D. To protect them. 49. What can we infer from Erpur Hansen’s words? A. The Puffling Patrol is of great help. B. Scientists need little help from children. C. Puffins do not need protection anymore. D. Puffins are becoming stronger than before. 50. What can we learn from the children’s behaviour? A. Never stop trying. B. One is never too old to learn. C. An act of kindness can mean a lot. D. Everyone should realize their self-worth. 【答案】46. D 47. B 48. B 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了海玛岛虽小但拥有世界最大海鹦群，每年8月海鹦雏鸟会因岛上灯光而迷失。当地孩子组成巡逻队，在夜间将迷失的雏鸟带到海滩放飞，科学家通过此举了解更多海鹦信息，孩子们的行动给了他们保护海鹦的希望。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“Around August, puffin chicks make their way to the ocean. That’s when the trouble begins.”（8月左右，海鹦幼鸟会飞向海洋。那就是麻烦开始的时候。）和第二段中“But they are puzzled by Heimaey’s bright lights. Each year, a large number of them end up lost — or worse.”（但它们被Heimaey的明亮灯光搞糊涂了。每年，它们中的很多最终迷路了，或者更糟。）可知，困扰海鹦幼鸟的问题是找不到去海洋的路。故选D。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段和第四段中孩子们捕捉和放生海鹦的方式描述，例如“you try to corner it and guide it into the box（你试着把它逼到角落并引导它进入箱子）”以及“You hold them in both hands. Then you spread your arms out in front of you and let go, so the bird is given as much energy as possible.（你双手捧着它们。然后你在你面前张开双臂，放手，这样鸟儿就能得到尽可能多的能量。）”可以看出，参与Puffling Patrol的孩子们是既细心又有技巧的。故选B。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。由文章倒数第三段中“Before releasing puffin chicks, they make a stop at the local animal center,where the birds are weighed and tagged (附上标签), for tracking purposes.”（在放生海鹦幼雏之前，他们会在当地的动物中心稍作停留，在那里鸟类被称重并附上标签，以便追踪。）可知，孩子们在放生海鹦幼鸟前给它们标记是为了追踪它们。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段中“Thanks to data collected with kids' help, we scientists have learned that puffin chicks now weigh less than in previous years. That means they have a lower chance of survival”（多亏了在孩子们的帮助下收集的数据，我们科学家已经了解到海雀幼鸟现在的体重比前几年要轻。这意味着他们的生存机会更低）以及最后一段“The message is that people can make a difference”（这个信息表明人们可以有所作为）可以推断出，Puffling Patrol对科学家的研究有很大的帮助。故选A。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Scientists worry puffins will die out completely. But the kids of Heimaey give energy to Erpur Hansen. “The message is that people can make a difference,” he says. “Each time these kids help a bird get back to the ocean, they show us that.”（科学家担心海雀会彻底灭绝。但是Heimaey的孩子们给Erpur Hansen带来了能量。他说：“这传达的信息是，人们可以有所作为。”“每次这些孩子帮助一只鸟回到海洋，他们都向我们展示了这一点。”）”可知，从孩子们救助海鹦幼鸟的行为中，我们可以学到一个善良的行为可能意义重大。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 Sharing a room with a family member or a friend can be tough, but it becomes especially difficult when you're sharing it with someone you hardly know. Here are things you can do to help you deal with having a roommate, no matter who it may be. First of all, you have to remember that you get what you give. If you are nice to others, then others will be nice to you as well. You also need to set boundaries for yourself and for the other person. So before your new roommate moves in, talk to him. Set the rules early on and discuss your expectations. Remember that there are two things that make up any good relationship: trust and respect. The same thing applies to having a roommate. You have to respect each other. Suppose he has that new PS3 game that you've always wanted to try out, what should you do? Ask permission first. If he says no, don’t take it against him. If he lets you borrow his stuff, take care of the item and treat it as if it were your own. Make sure that you return it in the same condition as when you borrowed it. For chores that can be shared, you may want to divide it equally so that you don’t do all the housework. Take turns in washing the dishes. You may do it every other day or you may split the task so that you only have to do it in the morning and your roommate only has to do it at night. When it comes to food and grocery items, determine what can be shared. Don't be too mean when it comes to sharing food. The advantage of sharing food is that both of you can save on time and food preparation. 51. Before your roommate moves in, what should you two do? (no more than 10words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 52. What is important for good relationship among roommates? (no more than 5words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 53. What does the underlined word “chores” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?(no more than 3 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 54. What does the author suggest in Paragraph 4?(no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 55. What is the purpose of this passage?(no more than 20 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. Set the rules and discuss expectations. 52. Trust and respect. 53. Housework. 54. Divide the housework equally and take turns. 55. To give advice on how to deal with having a roommate. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，文章介绍了与室友相处的建议，包括设定界限、尊重彼此、分担家务和共享食物等。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“So before your new roommate moves in, talk to him. Set the rules early on and discuss your expectations.(所以在你的新室友搬进来之前，和他谈谈。尽早制定规则并讨论你的期望。)”可知，在新室友搬进来之前，应该设定规则并讨论彼此的期望。故答案为Set the rules and discuss expectations. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“Remember that there are two things that make up any good relationship: trust and respect.(记住，有两样东西构成了良好的关系：信任和尊重。)”可知，信任和尊重对于室友间良好的关系至关重要。故答案为Trust and respect. 【53题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据划线词所在句子“For chores that can be shared, you may want to divide it equally so that you don’t do all the housework.(对于可以分担的 chores，你可能想要平均分配，这样你就不会做所有的家务。)”中提到的“divide it equally”和“don’t do all the housework”可推测，“chores”指的是家务活。故答案为Housework. 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“For chores  that can be shared, you may want to divide it equally so that you don’t do all the housework. Take turns in washing the dishes. You may do it every other day or you may split the task so that you only have to do it in the morning and your roommate only has to do it at night.(对于可以分担的家务，你可能想要平均分配，这样你就不会做所有的家务。轮流洗碗。你可以每隔一天做一次，或者你可以把任务分开，这样你只需要在早上做，你的室友只需要在晚上做。)”可知本段建议对于可以分担的家务，应平均分配，轮流做，比如轮流洗碗或分早晚负责不同任务。故答案为Divide the housework equally and take turns. 【55题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第一段“Sharing a room with a family member or a friend can be tough, but it becomes especially difficult when you're sharing it with someone you hardly know. Here are things you can do to help you deal with having a roommate, no matter who it may be.(与家人或朋友共用一个房间可能很难，但当你与一个你几乎不认识的人共用一个房间时，这变得尤其困难。无论你的室友是谁，你都可以做以下这些事情来帮助你处理好这个问题。)”并通读全文，可知本文旨在提供一些建议，帮助读者处理与室友同住时可能遇到的问题，无论室友是谁。故答案为To give advice on how to deal with having a roommate. 第二节：书面表达（满分15分） 56. 假设你是李津，你所在的城区引进了无人驾驶公交车。请你用英语给你校英语校报写一篇文章，谈一谈你对这项新科技的感想，内容包括： （1）简单介绍无人驾驶公交车； （2）无人驾驶公交车的优点 （安全、准时、经济）； （3）你对无人驾驶公交车的看法。 注意： (1) 词数不少于 100词； （2）可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 The Driverless Bus _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With the rapid development of technology, the driverless bus has appeared in our city.

Neither of his parents read poetry to him when he was little. When his fourth-grade teacher read poems in class, he thought they seemed boring. To nine-year-old Prelutsky, poetry seemed like serious business. And Prelutsky was anything but serious. “I wanted to hear poems about myself — about outer space and sports and music,” he says. “So I started to think of poetry as punishment.” Prelutsky had always taken voice and piano lessons, but when he attended New York’s High School of Music and Art, his love for music grew deeper. “I liked the way songs said what they had to say — the simple, direct, ordinary language they employed. I really think that’s what made me see poetry in a new light.” Then Prelutsky took a drawing class in his early twenties and found he wasn’t very good at life drawing. But he was good at drawing imaginary animals. In six months, Prelutsky drew a lot of imaginary animals with strange characteristics. He loved each one, but felt something was missing. “Then one evening, I looked at them and said, ‘They need poems.’ I still don’t know why I thought of it, but within half an hour, I had all the poems written.” Publishing the poems never crossed Prelutsky’s mind in those early days. But when friends fell in love with his poems, he agreed to share them with a children’s book editor. “She didn’t think much of my illustrations (插图),” he says, “but she told me that I was a natural poet and encouraged me to keep writing.” At the time, Prelutsky was surprised at the editor’s encouragement. But more than forty books later, he’s still making friends and fans laugh. From monsters to frogs, Prelutsky has turned silly into an art form. 41. What can we learn about Prelutsky when he was a kid? A. He hated poetry. B He took sports seriously. C. He found it hard to read poems. D. He developed an interest in business. 42. What did Prelutsky think of music? A. It was a kind of punishment. B. It was something serious. C. It was simple but indirect. D. It helped him to love poetry. 43. How did drawing influence Prelutsky? A. It drove him to love music. B. It brought out his poetic skills. C. It raised his confidence in writing. D. It helped him become a famous painter. 44. How did the editor feel about Prelutsky’s poems? A. She gave them high praise. B. She was surprised by them. C. She refused to publish them. D. She showed no interest in them. 45. What is a characteristic of Prelutsky’s poems? A. They are funny. B. They are encouraging. C. They are person-centered. D. They are family-friendly. C Heimaey is a small island off the southern coast of Iceland of just 4,200 people. But with its neighboring islands, it hosts the world’s largest puffin colony (海鹦群). Each spring, more than 1.5 million puffins go to the islands to breed. Around August, puffin chicks make their way to the ocean. That’s when the trouble begins. Instinct (直觉) tells puffin chicks to leave the nest at night and follow the light of the moon to the sea. But they are puzzled by Heimaey’s bright lights. Each year, a large number of them end up lost — or worse. Often, lost birds are hit by cars or eaten by cats. Each breeding season, the children of Heimaey start their own middle-of-the-night adventure, which is called the Puffling Patrol. They get together to form search parties and take to the streets of Heimaey. “When you see a bird, you try to corner it and guide it into the box,” Eldur Hansen, a 14-year-old boy said. He has caught several puffins this way. Then kids take birds home. The next morning, they take them to the beach for release (放走). Over the years, kids have even developed a gentle method. “You do not throw them like a baseball,” Eldur says. “You hold them in both hands. Then you spread your arms out in front of you and let go, so the bird is given as much energy as possible.” Before releasing puffin chicks, they make a stop at the local animal center, where the birds are weighed and tagged (附上标签), for tracking purposes. This helps scientists learn more about puffins. Erpur Hansen, Eldur’s dad, is with the South East Iceland Nature Research Center. “Thanks to data collected with kids' help, we scientists have learned that puffin chicks now weigh less than in previous years. That means they have a lower chance of survival,” he says. Scientists worry puffins will die out completely. But the kids of Heimaey give energy to Erpur Hansen. “The message is that people can make a difference,” he says. “Each time these kids help a bird get back to the ocean, they show us that.” 46. What troubles puffin chicks according to the passage? A. Their nests being destroyed. B. Following the light of the moon. C. Their parents being killed by humans. D. Being unable to find their way to the ocean. 47. Which of the following can be used to describe kids from the Puffling Patrol? A. Strict and shy. B. Careful and skillful. C. Sensitive and creative. D. Intelligent and talkative. 48. Why do kids tag the puffin chicks before releasing them? A. To identify them. B. To track them. C. To memorize them. D. To protect them. 49. What can we infer from Erpur Hansen’s words? A. The Puffling Patrol is of great help. B. Scientists need little help from children. C. Puffins do not need protection anymore. D. Puffins are becoming stronger than before. 50. What can we learn from the children’s behaviour? A. Never stop trying. B. One is never too old to learn. C. An act of kindness can mean a lot. D. Everyone should realize their self-worth. 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 Sharing a room with a family member or a friend can be tough, but it becomes especially difficult when you're sharing it with someone you hardly know. Here are things you can do to help you deal with having a roommate, no matter who it may be. First of all, you have to remember that you get what you give. If you are nice to others, then others will be nice to you as well. You also need to set boundaries for yourself and for the other person. So before your new roommate moves in, talk to him. Set the rules early on and discuss your expectations. Remember that there are two things that make up any good relationship: trust and respect. The same thing applies to having a roommate. You have to respect each other. Suppose he has that new PS3 game that you've always wanted to try out, what should you do? Ask permission first. If he says no, don’t take it against him. If he lets you borrow his stuff, take care of the item and treat it as if it were your own. Make sure that you return it in the same condition as when you borrowed it. For chores that can be shared, you may want to divide it equally so that you don’t do all the housework. Take turns in washing the dishes. You may do it every other day or you may split the task so that you only have to do it in the morning and your roommate only has to do it at night. When it comes to food and grocery items, determine what can be shared. Don't be too mean when it comes to sharing food. The advantage of sharing food is that both of you can save on time and food preparation. 51. Before your roommate moves in, what should you two do?
