Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed (损坏) by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions. As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection (完美) if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success. In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer. He won the respect (尊重) he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith (信仰) and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy realized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith. So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew. Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs. The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books— War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would bring him happiness. Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced (影响) many people all over the world. 21. Why did Tolstoy want to be the best in everything when he was young? A. To make a lot of money. B. To show his power. C. To prepare for his books. D. To achieve perfection. 22. Which is the correct order of the following events? ① Tolstoy worked in the army. ② Tolstoy got married. ③ Tolstoy wrote War and Peace. ④ Tolstoy opened a school. ⑤ Tolstoy became a well-known writer.

She knows the one I have is old. The gift is lovely: the cover is colourful, and the pages are white. But I don’t feel like I am free to use this new address book because I’m still tied to my old one. My address book tells my own story. Names were added in different colours from different periods of my life. When I moved back home to Toronto, my address book included the old information I needed in order to be able to get in touch with some of my old friends again. There are certainly stories of friendships in this book—the comings and goings of my friends. Their address has been corrected again and again, filling up one line after another. I have started using pencil for some of them because they are taking up too much space! Some friends went on to marry each other. For such things, I used arrows (箭头) to show how these two friends had become one family. Children’s names were added one by one. Then some got their own lines as they moved out. This book also includes the stories of my family—two generations (一代人) of relatives. I can remember all their phone numbers, and I can picture their houses clearly. Some have died, but their addresses are still there in my book. “Don’t you have all the information on your phone?” My daughter, who never uses address books, asked me once when she saw me checking my address book. I know that having it on a phone is very useful and can save a lot of trouble. But making changes on a phone is always done completely. When you don’t see a person any more, you delete all his information. It’s like he was never there. My old address book now sits on top of the new one. It is as strong as ever keeping all the people from A to Z in order. But my new address book whispers a story of new possibilities. It offers me space for those new friends that I haven’t met yet. I’ll get to it. It’s just a matter of time. 26. The old information in the old address book can help the writer ________. A. move back home to Niagara B. connect with old friends again C. move around the world D. make more new friends 27. The writer drew arrows in his address book when ________. A. two friends became husband and wife B. two strangers became friends C. a friend of hers gave birth to a child D. a friend of hers moved to a new place 28. Why does the writer dislike keeping friends’ information on a phone? A. Because she finds it not easy to use a phone. B. Because she wants to be different from the younger. C. Because the person seems never to be there if his information is deleted. D. Because she has to depend on her daughter to manage the information. 29. What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A. The writer doesn’t like the new address book. B. The writer will start to use the new address book soon. C. The writer has decided to throw her old address book away. D. The writer decides to put all her friends’ information into a phone. 30. What is the proper structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph1 ②=Paragraph 2, …) A. B. C. D. 【答案】26. B 27. A 28. C 29. B 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者的女儿送给她了一个新地址簿作为礼物，作者因感情而珍惜旧的地址簿，因为上面承载了太多美好的回忆。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When I moved back home to Toronto, my address book included the old information I needed in order to be able to get in touch with some of my old friends again.”可知，旧地址簿中的旧信息可以帮助作者再次与老朋友取得联系。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Some friends went on to marry each other. For such things, I used arrows to show how these two friends had become one family.”可知，当两个朋友结为夫妻时，作者在通讯录上画箭头。故选A。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But making changes on a phone is always done completely. When you don’t see a person any more, you delete all his information. It’s like he was never there.”可知，作者不喜欢在手机上保存朋友的信息是因为如果信息被删除了，就不可能再找回来了。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But my new address book whispers a story of new possibilities. It offers me space for those new friends that I haven’t met yet. I’ll get to it.”可知，作者认为新地址簿有新的可能性，为作者提供了空间给那些还没见过的新朋友，作者会用的。可推测作者很快就要开始使用新的通讯录了。故选B。 【30题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文，第①段讲女儿送给自己一本新的地址簿，而自己还在用旧的；第②③④段主要讲旧的地址簿的意义；第⑤段讲为何不用手机记地址；第⑥段介绍旧的地址簿仍然好用，但使用新的地址本有新的可能性，也将会使用。故全文的结构应为①-②③④-⑤-⑥。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Jerry lived in a small town in America.

The world is a greener place today than it was 20years ago. How does this happen? Well, it seems that China and India are leading the change. NASA researchers compared the satellite data (卫星数据) from the mid-1990s with today. They found that global green leaf had increased by 5% since the early 2000s. That’s about the same area as the whole Amazon rainforest. At first, the researchers were unsure what caused the large increase in greening around the planet. After further research, they found that greening was mostly due to China and India. China and India have the world’s biggest populations. In the past, they were considered to have overexploited (过度开采) land, water and other resources for economic growth. But now, the two countries are responsible for the large greening of the planet in the past twenty years. The tree-planting programs in both countries have made huge contributions (贡献) to the global greening trend. China has carried out the programs to protect and expand forests. These programs were developed to reduce the effects of soil loss, air pollution and climate change. India continues to break world records in tree planting. It was reported that 800,000 Indians planted 50 million trees in one day in 2012. The greening change has also come from the growth of food crops.

B “Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed (损坏) by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions. As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection (完美) if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success. In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer. He won the respect (尊重) he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith (信仰) and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy realized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith. So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew. Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs. The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books— War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would bring him happiness. Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced (影响) many people all over the world. 21. Why did Tolstoy want to be the best in everything when he was young? A. To make a lot of money. B. To show his power. C. To prepare for his books. D. To achieve perfection. 22. Which is the correct order of the following events? ① Tolstoy worked in the army. ② Tolstoy got married. ③ Tolstoy wrote War and Peace. ④ Tolstoy opened a school. ⑤ Tolstoy became a well-known writer. A. ①⑤③②④ B. ⑤①③②④ C. ①⑤④②③ D. ⑤④①③② 23. According to the passage, which of the following is the most important to Tolstoy? A Family. B. Success. C. Money. D. Work. 24.

C My daughter gave me an address book for my birthday. She knows the one I have is old. The gift is lovely: the cover is colourful, and the pages are white. But I don’t feel like I am free to use this new address book because I’m still tied to my old one. My address book tells my own story. Names were added in different colours from different periods of my life. When I moved back home to Toronto, my address book included the old information I needed in order to be able to get in touch with some of my old friends again. There are certainly stories of friendships in this book—the comings and goings of my friends. Their address has been corrected again and again, filling up one line after another. I have started using pencil for some of them because they are taking up too much space! Some friends went on to marry each other. For such things, I used arrows (箭头) to show how these two friends had become one family. Children’s names were added one by one. Then some got their own lines as they moved out. This book also includes the stories of my family—two generations (一代人) of relatives. I can remember all their phone numbers, and I can picture their houses clearly. Some have died, but their addresses are still there in my book. “Don’t you have all the information on your phone?” My daughter, who never uses address books, asked me once when she saw me checking my address book. I know that having it on a phone is very useful and can save a lot of trouble. But making changes on a phone is always done completely. When you don’t see a person any more, you delete all his information. It’s like he was never there. My old address book now sits on top of the new one. It is as strong as ever, keeping all the people from A to Z in order. But my new address book whispers a story of new possibilities. It offers me space for those new friends that I haven’t met yet. I’ll get to it. It’s just a matter of time. 26. The old information in the old address book can help the writer ________. A. move back home to Niagara B. connect with old friends again C. move around the world D. make more new friends 27. The writer drew arrows in his address book when ________. A. two friends became husband and wife B. two strangers became friends C. a friend of hers gave birth to a child D. a friend of hers moved to a new place 28. Why does the writer dislike keeping friends’ information on a phone? A. Because she finds it not easy to use a phone. B. Because she wants to be different from the younger. C. Because the person seems never to be there if his information is deleted. D. Because she has to depend on her daughter to manage the information. 29. What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A. The writer doesn’t like the new address book. B. The writer will start to use the new address book soon. C. The writer has decided to throw her old address book away. D. The writer decides to put all her friends’ information into a phone. 30. What is the proper structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph1 ②=Paragraph 2, …) A. B. C. D. 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Jerry lived in a small town in America. She always wanted to help others when she was young.

The world is a greener place today than it was 20years ago. How does this happen? Well, it seems that China and India are leading the change. NASA researchers compared the satellite data (卫星数据) from the mid-1990s with today. They found that global green leaf had increased by 5% since the early 2000s. That’s about the same area as the whole Amazon rainforest. At first, the researchers were unsure what caused the large increase in greening around the planet. After further research, they found that greening was mostly due to China and India. China and India have the world’s biggest populations. In the past, they were considered to have overexploited (过度开采) land, water and other resources for economic growth. But now, the two countries are responsible for the large greening of the planet in the past twenty years. The tree-planting programs in both countries have made huge contributions (贡献) to the global greening trend. China has carried out the programs to protect and expand forests. These programs were developed to reduce the effects of soil loss, air pollution and climate change. India continues to break world records in tree planting. It was reported that 800,000 Indians planted 50 million trees in one day in 2012. The greening change has also come from the growth of food crops. Both countries have greatly increased food production in order to feed their large populations. It is clear that the earth is getting greener because of China and India. However, the researchers warned that we should not be satisfied with the situation. The natural vegetation (植被) in tropical (热带的) areas is reducing. There is still a long way to go in making the earth greener and we need to keep trying. 46. The passage mainly talks about ____________________________________. (15个词以内) 47.
