You will be killed by the giant machines if you stay here. ” “I don’t believe you,” the spider said as she ate the little bug for lunch. A few days later, the spider was laughing about the story the little bug had told her. She thought to herself: “A harvest! What a silly idea. I have lived here all of my life, and nothing has ever disturbed me. ” The next day was a beautiful sunny day. The sky above was clear, and there was no wind at all.

Another school day begins, and we all wish we could have just one extra hour of sleep. For lucky high school students in England, they’re now going to reset their alarm and get an extra hour of sleep. Instead of starting school at 9 am, students will begin the academic day at 10 am. This is part of a huge study by Oxford University. The experiment will see whether later classes can improve exam results. More than 100 schools across England will join the four-year experiment, which includes tens of thousands of students. It is based on scientific evidence that teenagers are out of step with traditional school hours. “We know that something funny happens when you’re a teenager,” lead sleep researcher Colin Epsie told The Telegraph. “Your parents think it’s because you’re lazy and everything would be ok if you could get to sleep earlier. But science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more in the mornings.” A similar experiment in 2009 saw an improvement of 19 percent in exam scores for major subjects—such as math and science. Teenagers’ sleep cycles, on average, begin two hours after adults. Neuroscientists say teens have a built-in clock, which makes them more likely to go to sleep around midnight. As well as not feeling fully awake until between 9 am and 10 am. This body clock stays until the age of 19 for females and 21 for males. Schools are places for learning, as well as education laboratories—finding out the best ways to learn and increase knowledge. Yet we’ll have to wait until 2018 to find out these exciting results! 38. England high school students usually start school ________. A. at 7 am B. at 8 am C. at 9 am D. at 10 am 39. Teenagers struggle to get up early because ________. A. they are too lazy to get up early B. their body clock won’t start to work until 9 am C. they stay up studying late at night D. their sleep cycles are later than adults 40. The aim of the experiment in 2009 was to ________. A. find out if later classes can improve exam results B. test how students’ body clocks work C. compare teenagers’ and adults’ sleeping patterns D. help teachers to find the best way to teach 41. The article is focused on the topic that ________. A. teenagers need more sleep than adults B. students might need more hours’ sleep in the morning C. boys need more sleep in the morning than girls D. it is important to do more experiments on education 【答案】38. C 39. D 40. A 41. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了青少年睡眠问题，通过科学实验证明青少年早晨更需要更多的睡眠，对他们的学习等有好处。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第二段“Instead of starting school at 9 am, students will begin the academic day at 10 am.”可知，英国高中学生通常情况下在早上9点上课。故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第七段“Teenagers’ sleep cycles, on average, begin two hours after adults.”可知，青少年早起很困难的原因是他们的生物钟比成年人要长。故选D。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中第六段“A similar experiment in 2009 saw an improvement of 19 percent in exam scores for major subjects—such as math and science.”可知，2009年的实验目的是晚上课是否可以提高学生成绩。故选A。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文和文中实验可总结出中心话题，再根据文中第五段“But science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more in the mornings.”可知，选项B“学生早上可能需要多睡几个小时”可作为本文中心话题。故选B。 (D) To me, the concept of home changes along with my age all the time. In my childhood, home was a number of calls. It seems that I had more free time than today’s children. I didn’t have to show up in front of my parents right after school, instead I would go to play with my classmates who lived in the neighborhood. We played like mad until dinner was ready and our parents called “Come back! Come home for supper!” Days passed by as I grew up in the company of those calls which are still echoing in my ears even now. In a short while, my childhood was gone. When a thin layer of hair began to grow around the corners of my mouth, home became a place I tried to run away from. As I read more and more, my world opened up, larger than before me. The bed I used to sleep in became too small, and words of care from my parents began to sound meaningless. How I wished I could have a space of my own someday! Later I joined the army and put on the green uniform. During my service days, home was the series of letters I received one after another. My most homesick moments were when I read those letters from my family. When I got a job I began to get “hurt”, to rise and fall in a sea of people, and to understand that you can’t share all your pains with other people, even with your best friends. So again, another wave of homesickness came over me. When I was badly hurt, I imagined myself flying home on wings. Pushing open the door, I let tears flow down my face. At that moment I felt that as large as the world was, what I needed was only the familiar smell of home and the unchanged view outside the window of my old house… Although I already have much life experience behind me, I know there is still a long way ahead and my concept of home will go on developing. But already I have come to see that home is where we can find the true meaning of all the busy rush life. What makes the concept different is that sometimes it refers to a person’s home and sometimes to the home of many, many people. 42. What does the underlined word “company” mean in Chinese in Paragraph 2? A. 公司 B. 陪伴 C. 友情 D. 氛围 43. From the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. He misses his life in his childhood. B. He lives happily when studying at school. C. He enjoys himself during his service days. D. He can share his feelings with his buddies. 44. From the whole passage, what will be talked about in the following passage? A. His marriage. B. Being a parent. C. His job. D. The last years of his life. 45. What is the best title for the passage? A. Missing my parents and home B. Escaping from home C. A changing concept of home D. A developing home 【答案】42. B 43. A 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要说明作者随着年龄的变化对家的概念的理解也在不断变化。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文中“In my childhood, home was a number of calls.”及下文“We played like mad until dinner was ready and our parents called “Come back! Come home for supper!” Days passed by as I grew up in the company of those calls which are still echoing in my ears even now.”可知，作者觉得童年的家就是一句句呼唤，这些呼唤一直陪伴作者长大。故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第二段中“We played like mad until dinner was ready and our parents called ‘Come back! Come home for supper!’ ”及第三段中“In a short while, my childhood was gone.”可知，作者童年是很快乐的，他是很怀念童年的。故选A。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，作者主要描述了自己童年，上学，当兵，工作这四个人生阶段对家的认识变化，接下来可能会写当他自己作了父母，会如何看待家庭。故选B。 【45题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文，本文主要说明作者随着年龄的变化对家的概念的理解也在不断变化。故选C。 第二节 （共5题,每小题1分,满分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。 Most people hope to have a better memory which helps them succeed in study, work and life. _____46_____? Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a clear answer. A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Eating more food rich in Vitamin B and Vitamin E helps you have a better memory. Doing exercise can keep your brain alive, too. Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain. Running, swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful. ______47______. Only when your brain gets a good rest, can it work well. The healthier your lifestyle is, the better your memory will become, but do not expect a sudden change-it takes a long time to make a difference. _____48_____. The following are some widely used skills. Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a ten-digit telephone number 2127983630, you can divide the digits into three groups: first 212, then 798, and lastly 3630. It is far more effective than remembering a string of 10 digits. Organization means organizing information into groups of the same kind. For example, trees, grass and flowers are plants; tigers, pandas, horses and cows are animals. Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination and connecting it with something that you are familiar with. Teaching is a simple way to train our brains to be more effective. _____49_____. Teaching strengthens the understanding. So teach the concepts to someone else. It can be a real person in a study group, or you can just imagine that someone is listening to you as you teach. In fact, memory skills will hardly work if you don’t understand the information. What’s more, only a regular review(复习) can make the memory last long. That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days, _____50_____. A. and then use it as regularly as possible. B. Moreover getting enough sleep is important. C. you can certainly improve your memory. D. Memory skills help you remember things better. E. need nutrients and exercise to become stronger. F. Can memory be improved? G. Because in order to teach something, you need to understand it. 【答案】46. F 47. B 48. D 49. G 50. A 【解析】 【分析】本文介绍了提高记忆力方法。健康的生活方式可以让你的大脑保持年轻，记忆敏锐。记忆技能可以帮助你更好地记住事情。更重要的是，定期的复习。 【46题详解】 根据上文“Most people hope to have a better memory which helps them succeed in study, work and life.”可知很多人希望有更好的记忆力去帮助自己在学习、工作和生活中取得成功。此空格后标点是问号，选项F“记忆力可以提高吗？”符合语境，故选F。 【47题详解】 根据下文“Only when your brain gets a good rest, can it work well.”可知此句关于与大脑休息的句子。选项B“此外，充足的睡眠也很重要。”符合语境，故选B。 【48题详解】 此句位于段首，应是本段的中心句。下文讲述了大脑记忆技能。选项D“记忆技能可以帮助你更好地记住事情。”符合语境，故选D。 【49题详解】 根据“Teaching is a simple way to train our brains to be more effective ...Teaching strengthens the understanding.”讲述了教学是一个有效提升记忆力的方法与教学强化理解，由此可推知，空格处讲述教学可以提升记忆力的原因，选项G“因为为了教一些东西，你需要理解它。”符合语境，故选G。 【50题详解】 最后一段讲述了规律的复习可以使记忆持久。结合句中“That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days,”可知此处讲述定期复习，选项A“然后尽可能经常地使用它。”符合语境，故选A。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题） 四、根据句子意思,用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空,每空一词（共l0小题;每小题l分,计l0分） 51.

She liked this home and planned to stay there for the rest of her life. One day, the spider caught a little bug in her web. Just as the spider was about to eat him, the bug said: “If you let me go, I will tell you something important that can save your life. ” The spider thought for a little while and listened. “You’d better get out of this cornfield,” the little bug said. “The harvest is coming!” “I think you are just telling me a story,” the spider said with a smile. “Oh no, it is true,” the little bug said. “All the stalks will be knocked down, and the corn will be gathered up. You will be killed by the giant machines if you stay here. ” “I don’t believe you,” the spider said as she ate the little bug for lunch. A few days later, the spider was laughing about the story the little bug had told her. She thought to herself: “A harvest! What a silly idea. I have lived here all of my life, and nothing has ever disturbed me. ” The next day was a beautiful sunny day. The sky above was clear, and there was no wind at all. That afternoon, as the spider was about to take a nap, she noticed some thick dusty clouds moving towards her.

(C) It’s a scene in many homes around the world: tired-eyed teens wake to the sound of their alarm clock. Another school day begins, and we all wish we could have just one extra hour of sleep. For lucky high school students in England, they’re now going to reset their alarm and get an extra hour of sleep. Instead of starting school at 9 am, students will begin the academic day at 10 am. This is part of a huge study by Oxford University. The experiment will see whether later classes can improve exam results. More than 100 schools across England will join the four-year experiment, which includes tens of thousands of students. It is based on scientific evidence that teenagers are out of step with traditional school hours. “We know that something funny happens when you’re a teenager,” lead sleep researcher Colin Epsie told The Telegraph. “Your parents think it’s because you’re lazy and everything would be ok if you could get to sleep earlier. But science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more in the mornings.” A similar experiment in 2009 saw an improvement of 19 percent in exam scores for major subjects—such as math and science. Teenagers’ sleep cycles, on average, begin two hours after adults. Neuroscientists say teens have a built-in clock, which makes them more likely to go to sleep around midnight. As well as not feeling fully awake until between 9 am and 10 am. This body clock stays until the age of 19 for females and 21 for males. Schools are places for learning, as well as education laboratories—finding out the best ways to learn and increase knowledge. Yet we’ll have to wait until 2018 to find out these exciting results! 38. England high school students usually start school ________. A. at 7 am B. at 8 am C. at 9 am D. at 10 am 39. Teenagers struggle to get up early because ________. A. they are too lazy to get up early B. their body clock won’t start to work until 9 am C. they stay up studying late at night D. their sleep cycles are later than adults 40. The aim of the experiment in 2009 was to ________. A. find out if later classes can improve exam results B. test how students’ body clocks work C. compare teenagers’ and adults’ sleeping patterns D. help teachers to find the best way to teach 41. The article is focused on the topic that ________. A. teenagers need more sleep than adults B. students might need more hours’ sleep in the morning C. boys need more sleep in the morning than girls D. it is important to do more experiments on education (D) To me, the concept of home changes along with my age all the time. In my childhood, home was a number of calls. It seems that I had more free time than today’s children. I didn’t have to show up in front of my parents right after school, instead I would go to play with my classmates who lived in the neighborhood. We played like mad until dinner was ready and our parents called “Come back! Come home for supper!” Days passed by as I grew up in the company of those calls which are still echoing in my ears even now. In a short while, my childhood was gone. When a thin layer of hair began to grow around the corners of my mouth, home became a place I tried to run away from. As I read more and more, my world opened up, larger than before me. The bed I used to sleep in became too small, and words of care from my parents began to sound meaningless. How I wished I could have a space of my own someday! Later I joined the army and put on the green uniform. During my service days, home was the series of letters I received one after another. My most homesick moments were when I read those letters from my family. When I got a job, I began to get “hurt”, to rise and fall in a sea of people, and to understand that you can’t share all your pains with other people, even with your best friends. So again, another wave of homesickness came over me. When I was badly hurt, I imagined myself flying home on wings. Pushing open the door, I let tears flow down my face. At that moment I felt that as large as the world was, what I needed was only the familiar smell of home and the unchanged view outside the window of my old house… Although I already have much life experience behind me, I know there is still a long way ahead and my concept of home will go on developing. But already I have come to see that home is where we can find the true meaning of all the busy rush life. What makes the concept different is that sometimes it refers to a person’s home and sometimes to the home of many, many people. 42 What does the underlined word “company” mean in Chinese in Paragraph 2? A. 公司 B. 陪伴 C. 友情 D. 氛围 43. From the passage which of the following statements is TRUE? A. He misses his life in his childhood. B. He lives happily when studying at school. C. He enjoys himself during his service days. D. He can share his feelings with his buddies. 44. From the whole passage, what will be talked about in the following passage? A. His marriage. B. Being a parent. C. His job. D. The last years of his life. 45 What is the best title for the passage? A. Missing my parents and home B. Escaping from home C. A changing concept of home D. A developing home 第二节 （共5题,每小题1分,满分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。 Most people hope to have a better memory which helps them succeed in study, work and life. _____46_____? Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a clear answer. A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Eating more food rich in Vitamin B and Vitamin E helps you have a better memory. Doing exercise can keep your brain alive, too. Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain. Running, swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful. ______47______. Only when your brain gets a good rest, can it work well. The healthier your lifestyle is, the better your memory will become, but do not expect a sudden change-it takes a long time to make a difference. _____48_____. The following are some widely used skills. Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a ten-digit telephone number 2127983630, you can divide the digits into three groups: first 212, then 798, and lastly 3630. It is far more effective than remembering a string of 10 digits. Organization means organizing information into groups of the same kind. For example, trees, grass and flowers are plants; tigers, pandas, horses and cows are animals. Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination and connecting it with something that you are familiar with. Teaching is a simple way to train our brains to be more effective. _____49_____. Teaching strengthens the understanding. So teach the concepts to someone else. It can be a real person in a study group, or you can just imagine that someone is listening to you as you teach. In fact, memory skills will hardly work if you don’t understand the information. What’s more, only a regular review(复习) can make the memory last long. That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days, _____50_____.
