He got his license (执照) to practice law without ever having stopped foot inside a college. Everywhere he went, Lincoln carried a book with him. He looked through page after page while his horse rested at the end of a long row of planting. Whenever he could escape work, he would lie with his head against a tree and read. Though the young Lincoln never left America, he traveled with Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage to Spain and Portugal: accompanied Robert Burns to Edinburgh; and followed the English kings into battle with Shakespeare. As he explored the wonders of literature and the history of the country, the young Lincoln developed ambitions (志向) far beyond the expectations of his family and neighbors. It was through literature that he was able to go beyond his surroundings and reach his destination. The books to feed Lincoln’s knowledge hunger did not come cheaply. The story is often recounted of the time he borrowed Parson Weems’s The Life of George Washington from Josiah Crawford, a well-to-do farmer. Touched by this story of the first president’s life, he took the book to his room at night, where he read as long as he could stay awake, placing the book on a shell between the logs (圆木) so he could fetch it at daybreak. During a heavy rainstorm one day, the book was badly soiled. Lincoln went to Crawford’s house, explained what had happened and offered to work off the value of the book. Crawford worked out the value of two full days’ work pulling corn, which Lincoln considered an unfair repayment. Nevertheless, he straightaway set to work and kept on until all work was done. Then, having paid his debt, Lincoln wrote poems and songs making fun of Crawford’s large nose. Thus Crawford won an everlasting place in Lincoln’s writings. 4. What can we learn about Lincoln from the first paragraph? A. He failed to get a law license. B. He preferred working to reading. C. He was an excellent self-taught learner. D. He read on horseback in order to escape work. 5. Which of the following contributed the most to Lincoln’s achievement? A. Reading widely. B. Creating his own business. C. Traveling around the world. D. Being supported by his family. 6. What happened to the book Lincoln borrowed from Crawford? A. It was stolen by a farmer. B. It was burned by a circle fire. C. It was damaged in a rainstorm. D. It was lost and never to be found. 7. Which of the following can best describe Lincoln according to the last paragraph? A. Proud and helpful. B. Honest and determined. C. Creative and curious. D. Intelligent and competitive. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了亚伯拉罕·林肯热爱读书，书籍使他实现了自己的抱负的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Abraham Lincoln was a typical self-made man. He got his license to practice law without ever having stepped foot inside a college. Everywhere he went, Lincoln carried a book with him. (亚伯拉罕·林肯是个典型的白手起家的人。他从未踏进过大学，就获得了从事法律工作的执照。无论他走到哪里，林肯都会带着一本书。)”可知，林肯是一个优秀的自学者。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As he explored the wonders of literature and the history of the country, the young Lincoln developed ambitions far beyond the expectations of his family and neighbors. It was through literature that he was able to go beyond his surroundings and reach his destination. (在探索文学奇迹和国家历史的过程中，年轻的林肯发展出了远远超出家人和邻居期望的雄心壮志。正是通过文学，他才能够超越他周围的环境，到达他的目的地。)”可知，林肯通过广泛阅读实现了他的抱负，即对广泛阅读对林肯的成就贡献最大。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The story is often recounted of the time he borrowed Parson Weems’s  The Life of George Washington from Josiah Crawford, a well-to-do farmer. ...During a heavy rainstorm one day, the book was badly soiled. (这个故事经常被讲述，他从一个富裕的农民乔赛亚·克劳福德那里借来了帕森·威姆斯的《乔治·华盛顿的一生》。……一天，在一场暴雨中，这本书被弄脏了。)”可知，林肯从克劳福德那里借来的书在一场暴风雨中受损了。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“During a heavy rainstorm one day, the book was badly soiled. Lincoln went to Crawford’s house, explained what had happened and offered to work off the value of the book. Crawford worked out the value of two full days’ work pulling corn, which Lincoln considered an unfair repayment. Nevertheless, he straightaway set to work and kept on until all work was done. (有一天，在一场暴雨中，这本书被弄脏了。林肯去了克劳福德家，解释了发生的事情，并提出要通过劳动弥补这本书的价值。克劳福德算出了两整天收割玉米的价值，林肯认为这是不公平的回报。尽管如此，他还是立刻开始工作，一直坚持到所有工作都完成。)”可知，亚伯拉罕·林肯把别人的书弄坏了提出通过劳动补偿，看得出他是诚信的，面对不公正的要求，他依然接受了，看得出他是个很有决心弥补自己过错的人。故选B项。 C When it comes to the capital city of Japan, people often picture a crowded modern city of concrete jungle (水泥丛林). Tokyo has little space for parks covered with trees and grass. However, the condition is taking a turn for the better. In an attempt to add a little greenery to the concrete, Tokyo has a rooftop project started, in which man y city roofs are being turned into gardens. Rooftop planting has been on the rise since the city government made it mandatory (强制的) for new buildings to cover at least 20 percent of available space with greenery. “You see buildings and buildings all around Tokyo. Tokyo obviously notes more greenery as a city, and rooftop greening may be one way to do it.” said Atsuro Tarutoko, manager of the Hearton Hotel, which was built with a $100,000 rooftop garden. Green roofs house a wide range of pleats which include flowers and grasses. They are appealing to the eyes. Apart from that, green roofs are environmentally friendly. Experts say the green rolls also provide environmental benefits as the gardens cut is door temperatures , reducing air-conditioning costs. “I believe part of our jobs is to try to add some quality space into the city’s surroundings and allow local people to feel that quality,” said Aya Mugita, a construction project developer at a recent green technology display in Tokyo. Some information technology companies are already cashing in on the rooftop greenery business. “We provide software that figures out the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) that can be absorbed by a garden based on the types and numbers of trees to be planted there,” said Yutaka Tanaka of Tokyo-based software designer Ecol System. But experts say changing the city jungle into a green garden will take tens of years. 8. What is the purpose of the rooftop project in Tokyo? A. To increase living space. B. To make the city greener. C. To improve construction quality. D. To save concrete used in building. 9. What can be known about the roof plants? A. They are easy to plant. B. They have limited variety. C. They take up too much space. D. They beautify the surroundings. 10. What do the experts mean in the last paragraph? A. The project is not well received by the citizens. B. Long-term efforts are needed to achieve the change. C. The IT companies will help build all the green roofs. D. Tokyo citizens are expected to live in green houses soon. 11. What is the suitable title for the text? A. Enlarged City Size in Japan B. Benefits of Rooftop Greenery C. Rooftop Garden Out of Concrete Jungle D. Environmentally Friendly Building Materials 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述日本东京高楼林立，被称为水泥森林，为增加城市绿化面积，东京在楼顶进行种植和绿化。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In an attempt to add a little greenery to the concrete, Tokyo has a rooftop project started, in which man y city roofs are being turned into gardens. (为了给混凝土增添一点绿色，东京开始了一项屋顶项目，许多城市的屋顶正在被改造成花园。)”可知，屋顶项目的目的是让城市更加绿化。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Green roofs house a wide range of pleats, which include flowers and grasses. They are appealing to the eyes. (绿色屋顶容纳了各种各样的褶皱，包括花和草。它们很吸引人的眼睛。)”可知，植物美化周围环境。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But experts say changing the city jungle into a green garden will take tens of years. (但专家表示，将城市丛林改造成绿色花园需要几十年的时间。)”可推知，实现这一转变需要长期努力。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In an attempt to add a little greenery to the concrete, Tokyo has a rooftop project started, in which man y city roofs are being turned into gardens. (为了给混凝土增添一点绿色，东京开始了一项屋顶项目，许多城市的屋顶正在被改造成花园。)”结合文章讲述日本东京高楼林立，被称为水泥森林，为增加城市绿化面积，东京在楼顶进行种植和绿化。所以C项“水泥森林中的屋顶花园”符合文章标题。故选C。 D How often have you wondered what the boy sitting across from you on the bus is really thinking? It seems that you will never really know for sure. After all, the content of our thoughts is unperceivable to anyone else. Neuroscience (神经科学) research into how we think and what we’re thinking makes it possible to watch directly into the brain to read out the physical make-up of our thoughts, some would say to read our minds. The technology that is changing what once was impossible in science into just plain science is a specialized use of MRI scanning (扫描) called “functional MRI”, fMRI for short. It makes it possible to see what’s going on inside the brain while people are thinking. What neuroscientist Marcel Just and his colleagues have done is combine fMRI’s ability to look at the brain in action with computer science's new power to sort through massive amounts of data. The goal is to see if they could identify exactly what happens in the brain when people think specific thoughts. They did an experiment where they asked subjects to think about ten objects—five of them tools like scissors or rulers, and live of them buildings like castles or towers. They then recorded and analyzed the activity in the subjects’ brains for each. When we think “ruler” or “tower” for example, Just says neurons start firing at varying levels of intensity (强度) in different areas throughout the brain. “And we found that we could identify which object they were thinking about from their brain activation patterns (激活模式) . We're identifying the thought that’s taking place,” he said. IMRI scanning has already been used to try to figure out what we want to buy and how to sell it to us. It’s a new field called “neuromarketing”. One of its pioneers, Gemma Calvert, says it’s a growing field. “What we’ve seen is a sort of snowballing effect over the last few years.” 12. Which can best replace the underlined word “unperceivable” in paragraph 1? A. Definite. B. Professional. C. Various. D. Secret. 13. What is fMRI used to do? A. Observe your physical activities. B. Introduce plain science to the public. C. Figure out what you are thinking about. D. Find out how your brain is made up of. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The process of the experiment. B. The objects used in the experiment. C. The major findings of the research. D. The subjects involved in the research. 15. What does Gemma Calvert think of neuromarketing? A. Fruitless. B. Promising. C. Challenging. D. Unpredictable. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述科学的发展会让人们知道别人的头脑里在想什么。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段的“How often have you wondered what the boy sitting across from you on the bus is really thinking? It seems that you will never really know for sure. After all, the content of our thoughts is unperceivable to anyone else. (你有多少次想知道坐在你对面的男孩在想什么？似乎你永远不会真正知道答案。毕竟，我们思考的内容是别人……的。)”可知，我们无法知道别人在思考什么，同样地我们在思考什么，别人也是无法察觉的，即对别人而言是秘密的，因此secret(秘密的)可以解释划线词。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“It makes it possible to see what’s going on inside the brain while people are thinking. (当人们在思考的时候，我们可以看到大脑内部发生了什么。) ”可知，fMRI是用来弄清楚你在想什么的。故选C。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段的“They did an experiment where they asked subjects to think about ten objects—five of them tools like scissors or rulers, and live of them buildings like castles or towers. They then recorded and analyzed the activity in the subjects’ brains for each. When we think “ruler” or “tower” for example, Just says neurons start firing at varying levels of intensity in different areas throughout the brain. “And we found that we could identify which object they were thinking about from their brain activation patterns. We’re identifying the thought that’s taking place,” he said. (他们做了一个实验，让实验对象思考10个物体——其中5个是剪刀或尺子之类的工具，并让他们生活在城堡或塔楼之类的建筑中。然后，他们记录并分析了每个受试者的大脑活动。例如，当我们想到“统治者”或“塔”时，Just说神经元开始在大脑的不同区域以不同的强度发射。“我们发现，我们可以从他们的大脑激活模式中识别出他们正在思考的对象。”我们正在识别正在发生的想法，”他说。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是实验过程。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“One of its pioneers, Gemma Calvert, says it’s a growing field. “What we’ve seen is a sort of snowballing effect over the last few years.” (其先驱之一Gemma Calvert表示，这是一个不断发展的领域。“在过去几年里，我们看到了一种滚雪球效应。”)”可知，Gemma Calvert认为“神经营销”是有前途的。故选B。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Traveling is becoming more and more popular every year.

The boys in her class always made fun of her “funny” walk, saying she was an ugly girl. Kelly’s parent took her to the hospital for examination. It turned out that her walk was a sign of something far more serious. A doctor said that she suffered from scoliosis (脊柱侧弯) and needed an operation. The operation was carried out one week later. Following the operation, Kelly had to lie flat on her back in the Children’s Hospital, wrapped in cast (石膏). She could do almost nothing but stare at the ceiling. She turned her eyes to one side and saw the dozen girls in her ward (病房), imagining they were all prettier than she would ever be. One thing Kelly looked forward to each day was a visit from her parents. But that day Kelly didn’t even have that. A rainstorm had flooded out the roads, and Kelly was stuck, alone and hidden away from the world. Luckily, the TV was on. When Kelly’s beloved TV icon (偶像) Ms. Robbins appeared on the screen, her eyes lit up. She and her whole family admired Ms. Robbins so much not only because of her excellent singing skills but also her devotion to charity. Ms. Robbins was always reported to make her efforts to help those in need, especially children. Now she was singing her hit song “Go for happiness”. When Ms. Robbins smiled through the TV screen, Kelly believed she was looking right at her, which filled Kelly’s heart with warmth and power. For a moment, Kelly even forgot about those boys who called her an ugly girl. Noises in the doorway caught her attention. Some special person arrived for a visit. Unbelievable! It was Ms. Robbins! 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Kelly watched her say “hello” to the girl in the bed nearest the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kelly could hardly believe her ears because almost nobody except her parents had ever called her that. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Kelly watched her say “hello” to the girl in the bed nearest the door. Ms. Robbins was nice to everyone. She moved through the room, stopping at every bedside for a short exchange. Then she made her way to Kelly. She looked down at Kelly and smiled. A genuine smile, like the one Kelly had seen on the TV. Kelly could happily feel that Ms. Robbins didn’t care that she wasn’t pretty or laugh at her cast. Then Ms. Robbins reached out and lightly touched Kelly’s arm, saying, “What a pretty girl!” Kelly could hardly believe her ears because almost nobody except her parents had ever called her that. Then she heard Ms. Robbins add, “Being strong-willed makes you prettier!” Ms. Robbins’ words really touched little Kelly. Kelly couldn’t know for sure whether Ms. Robbins changed the life of other children in the ward in the way that she changed Kelly. But she did know that by the time her cast came off, she reentered the world with a different mindset. She was no longer disturbed by the boys at school, not caring what those boys said about her. She became a confident and positive girl! 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事发展的顺序为线索展开，讲述了12岁的凯利因为脊柱侧弯而需要接受手术，术后她不得不在医院的石膏包裹中平躺，感到孤独和失落。她经常受到同学们的嘲笑和欺凌，这使她对自己的外貌和未来感到不安和沮丧。经历了一段困难时期，但最终通过一位她敬佩的公众人物罗宾斯的鼓励和支持找到了力量和希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“凯利看着她对离门最近的床上的女孩说‘你好’。”可知，第一段可描写“罗宾斯女士看望病床上的每个人，然后向凯利走去，说凯利是很漂亮的一个女孩子。”的相关细节。 ②由第二段首句内容“凯利简直不敢相信自己的耳朵，因为除了她的父母，几乎没有人这么叫过她。”可知，第二段可描写“罗宾斯继续鼓励凯利面对困难，凯利决定以积极的心态面对生活！”的相关细节。 2.续写线索：罗宾斯看望每个病人——罗宾斯表扬凯利——凯利非常开心——罗宾斯鼓励凯利——凯利积极面对生活 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①嘲笑：laugh at/make fun of ②触碰：touch/stroke ③改变：change/alter 情绪类 ①开心地：happily/delightedly ②使烦恼：disturb/annoy 【点睛】【高分句型1】Then Ms. Robbins reached out and lightly touched Kelly’s arm, saying, “What a pretty girl!” (使用了现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】Kelly couldn’t know for sure whether Ms. Robbins changed the life of other children in the ward in the way that she changed Kelly.

He got his license (执照) to practice law without ever having stopped foot inside a college. Everywhere he went, Lincoln carried a book with him. He looked through page after page while his horse rested at the end of a long row of planting. Whenever he could escape work, he would lie with his head against a tree and read. Though the young Lincoln never left America, he traveled with Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage to Spain and Portugal: accompanied Robert Burns to Edinburgh; and followed the English kings into battle with Shakespeare. As he explored the wonders of literature and the history of the country, the young Lincoln developed ambitions (志向) far beyond the expectations of his family and neighbors. It was through literature that he was able to go beyond his surroundings and reach his destination. The books to feed Lincoln’s knowledge hunger did not come cheaply. The story is often recounted of the time he borrowed Parson Weems’s The Life of George Washington from Josiah Crawford, a well-to-do farmer. Touched by this story of the first president’s life, he took the book to his room at night, where he read as long as he could stay awake, placing the book on a shell between the logs (圆木) so he could fetch it at daybreak. During a heavy rainstorm one day, the book was badly soiled. Lincoln went to Crawford’s house, explained what had happened and offered to work off the value of the book. Crawford worked out the value of two full days’ work pulling corn, which Lincoln considered an unfair repayment. Nevertheless, he straightaway set to work and kept on until all work was done. Then, having paid his debt, Lincoln wrote poems and songs making fun of Crawford’s large nose. Thus Crawford won an everlasting place in Lincoln’s writings. 4. What can we learn about Lincoln from the first paragraph? A. He failed to get a law license. B. He preferred working to reading. C. He was an excellent self-taught learner. D. He read on horseback in order to escape work. 5. Which of the following contributed the most to Lincoln’s achievement? A. Reading widely. B. Creating his own business. C. Traveling around the world. D. Being supported by his family. 6. What happened to the book Lincoln borrowed from Crawford? A. It was stolen by a farmer. B. It was burned by a circle fire. C. It was damaged in a rainstorm. D. It was lost and never to be found. 7. Which of the following can best describe Lincoln according to the last paragraph? A. Proud and helpful. B. Honest and determined. C. Creative and curious. D. Intelligent and competitive. C When it comes to the capital city of Japan, people often picture a crowded modern city of concrete jungle (水泥丛林). Tokyo has little space for parks covered with trees and grass. However, the condition is taking a turn for the better. In an attempt to add a little greenery to the concrete, Tokyo has a rooftop project started, in which man y city roofs are being turned into gardens. Rooftop planting has been on the rise since the city government made it mandatory (强制的) for new buildings to cover at least 20 percent of available space with greenery. “You see buildings and buildings all around Tokyo. Tokyo obviously notes more greenery as a city, and rooftop greening may be one way to do it.” said Atsuro Tarutoko, manager of the Hearton Hotel, which was built with a $100,000 rooftop garden. Green roofs house a wide range of pleats, which include flowers and grasses. They are appealing to the eyes. Apart from that, green roofs are environmentally friendly. Experts say the green rolls also provide environmental benefits as the gardens cut is door temperatures , reducing air-conditioning costs. “I believe part of our jobs is to try to add some quality space into the city’s surroundings and allow local people to feel that quality,” said Aya Mugita, a construction project developer at a recent green technology display in Tokyo. Some information technology companies are already cashing in on the rooftop greenery business. “We provide software that figures out the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) that can be absorbed by a garden based on the types and numbers of trees to be planted there,” said Yutaka Tanaka of Tokyo-based software designer Ecol System. But experts say changing the city jungle into a green garden will take tens of years. 8. What is the purpose of the rooftop project in Tokyo? A. To increase living space. B. To make the city greener. C. To improve construction quality. D. To save concrete used in building. 9. What can be known about the roof plants? A. They are easy to plant. B. They have limited variety. C. They take up too much space. D. They beautify the surroundings. 10. What do the experts mean in the last paragraph? A. The project is not well received by the citizens. B. Long-term efforts are needed to achieve the change. C. The IT companies will help build all the green roofs. D. Tokyo citizens are expected to live in green houses soon. 11. What is the suitable title for the text? A. Enlarged City Size in Japan B. Benefits of Rooftop Greenery C. Rooftop Garden Out of Concrete Jungle D. Environmentally Friendly Building Materials D How often have you wondered what the boy sitting across from you on the bus is really thinking? It seems that you will never really know for sure. After all, the content of our thoughts is unperceivable to anyone else. Neuroscience (神经科学) research into how we think and what we’re thinking makes it possible to watch directly into the brain to read out the physical make-up of our thoughts, some would say to read our minds. The technology that is changing what once was impossible in science into just plain science is a specialized use of MRI scanning (扫描) called “functional MRI”, fMRI for short. It makes it possible to see what’s going on inside the brain while people are thinking. What neuroscientist Marcel Just and his colleagues have done is combine fMRI’s ability to look at the brain in action with computer science's new power to sort through massive amounts of data. The goal is to see if they could identify exactly what happens in the brain when people think specific thoughts. They did an experiment where they asked subjects to think about ten objects—five of them tools like scissors or rulers, and live of them buildings like castles or towers.

The boys in her class always made fun of her “funny” walk, saying she was an ugly girl. Kelly’s parent took her to the hospital for examination. It turned out that her walk was a sign of something far more serious. A doctor said that she suffered from scoliosis (脊柱侧弯) and needed an operation. The operation was carried out one week later. Following the operation, Kelly had to lie flat on her back in the Children’s Hospital, wrapped in cast (石膏). She could do almost nothing but stare at the ceiling. She turned her eyes to one side and saw the dozen girls in her ward (病房), imagining they were all prettier than she would ever be. One thing Kelly looked forward to each day was a visit from her parents. But that day Kelly didn’t even have that. A rainstorm had flooded out the roads, and Kelly was stuck, alone and hidden away from the world. Luckily, the TV was on. When Kelly’s beloved TV icon (偶像) Ms. Robbins appeared on the screen, her eyes lit up. She and her whole family admired Ms. Robbins so much not only because of her excellent singing skills but also her devotion to charity. Ms. Robbins was always reported to make her efforts to help those in need, especially children. Now she was singing her hit song “Go for happiness”. When Ms. Robbins smiled through the TV screen, Kelly believed she was looking right at her, which filled Kelly’s heart with warmth and power. For a moment, Kelly even forgot about those boys who called her an ugly girl. Noises in the doorway caught her attention. Some special person arrived for a visit. Unbelievable! It was Ms. Robbins! 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Kelly watched her say “hello” to the girl in the bed nearest the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kelly could hardly believe her ears because almost nobody except her parents had ever called her that. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1～5 BCBAA 6～10 BCBAC 11～15 AACAC 16～20 ABBCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
