阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Sharon, Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been home-schooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone, I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier after you know it.
David, Aged 19
I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.
1. What can we infer from Sharon about high school?
A. Teachers are quite strict.
B. Students often stay up at night.
C. Teachers provide little care for students.
D. Students should make good use of their time.
2. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?
A. Excited B. Bored. C. Worried. D. Relaxed.
3. Who mentions the importance of friends?
A. Frank. B. David. C. Sharon. D. Eddie.
B
Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing. A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They found that miscommunication was always possible even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her. She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛) , which in Micronesia means “yes”.
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was famous for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.
4. The Americans teaching English in other countries found that they __________.
A. should go abroad for vacations
B. needed to learn foreign languages
C. should often discuss their experiences
D. had problems with communication
5. People in Micronesia show “yes” by __________.

B. Jan taught English on a Pacific island.

D. In India, only shaking heads means “yes”.
7. Tom misunderstood his class at first because __________.

“Dad,” I sai one day, “Let’s take a trip. Why don’t you fly out and meet me?”
My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father saw me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wanted me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agreed to travel with me through some national parks. We met four weeks later in Rapid City.
“What is our first stop?” asked my father.
“What time is it?”
“Still don’t have a watch?”
Less than an hour away was Mount Rushmore. As he stared up at the four Presidents carved in rocks, his mouth and eyes opened slowly, like those of a little boy. “Unbelievable,” he said, “how was this done?”
Sculptor Gutzon devoted 14 years to this sculpture and then left the final touches to his son. We stared up and I asked myself, “Would I ever devote my life to anything?”No directions, no goals. I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we were at Yellowstone National Park, where we had a picnic. “Did you ever travel with your dad?” I asked. “Only once” he said. “I never spoke much to my father. We loved each other-but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”
The last sentence—it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father—is what I would want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park, my father said, “I have never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize- and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip, I called my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he said. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.” I told him I had decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.
8. What can we learn about the father from paragraph 2 and 3?
A. He followed the fashion.
B He got bored with his job.
C. He was unhappy with the author’s lifestyle.
D. He liked the author’s collection of stamps.
9. What can be known about the author from the underlined paragraph?
A. He wants his children to learn from their grandfather.
B. He comes to understand what parental love means.
C. He learns how to communicate with his father.
D. He hopes to give whatever he can to his father.
10. What could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story?
A. The call solved their disagreements.
B. The Swiss Watch has drawn them closer.
C. They decided to learn photography together.
D. They began to change their attitudes to life.
11. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Love nature, love life. B. A son lost in adventure.
C. A journey with dad. D. The art of travel.
D
Strangers under the Same Roof
Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into a conflict? Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded? Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything? You are not alone. Disagreement and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents.
Teenagers’ physical changes may result in such family tensions. You may feel worried that you are developing at a different rate as your friends, shooting up in height or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots (粉刺). When the worries get too much, your parents are often the first target of your anger.
It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental (心理的) needs too. You enter a strange middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult. You have both a new desire for independence and a continued need for your parents’ love and support. You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own. Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy. Sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride. It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult. All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship.
Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family, you can take action to improve the situation. The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication. Just remember that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress that parent-child tensions create, and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship. The good news is that this stormy period will not last. Everything will turn out all right in the end, and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for adulthood.
12. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?
A. To express his doubts. B. To compare different ideas.
C. To introduce points for discussion. D. To draw readers’ attention to the topic.
13. What does the underlined phrase “middle ground” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Between a child and an adult. B. A small child.
C. An adult. D. An old man.
14. Which of the following statements would the author agree with according to the passage?
A. Parents should let go of the control over their teenagers.
B. Teenagers should always follow their parents’ points of view.
C. Parents and teenagers should always keep open conversations.
D. Teenagers should not depend on their parents’ love or support.
15. What is the author’s attitude to parent-child relationship?
A. Pessimistic. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Negative.

C
“Dad,” I sai one day, “Let’s take a trip. Why don’t you fly out and meet me?”
My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father saw me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wanted me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agreed to travel with me through some national parks. We met four weeks later in Rapid City.
“What is our first stop?” asked my father.
“What time is it?”
“Still don’t have a watch?”
Less than an hour away was Mount Rushmore. As he stared up at the four Presidents carved in rocks, his mouth and eyes opened slowly, like those of a little boy. “Unbelievable,” he said, “how was this done?”
Sculptor Gutzon devoted 14 years to this sculpture and then left the final touches to his son. We stared up and I asked myself, “Would I ever devote my life to anything?”No directions, no goals. I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we were at Yellowstone National Park, where we had a picnic. “Did you ever travel with your dad?” I asked. “Only once” he said. “I never spoke much to my father. We loved each other-but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”
The last sentence—it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father—is what I would want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park, my father said, “I have never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize- and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip, I called my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he said. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.” I told him I had decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.
8 What can we learn about the father from paragraph 2 and 3?
A. He followed the fashion.
B. He got bored with his job.
C. He was unhappy with the author’s lifestyle.
D. He liked the author’s collection of stamps.
9. What can be known about the author from the underlined paragraph?
A. He wants his children to learn from their grandfather.
B. He comes to understand what parental love means.
C. He learns how to communicate with his father.
D. He hopes to give whatever he can to his father.
10. What could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story?
A. The call solved their disagreements.
B. The Swiss Watch has drawn them closer.
C. They decided to learn photography together.
D. They began to change their attitudes to life.
11. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Love nature, love life. B. A son lost in adventure.
C. A journey with dad. D. The art of travel.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了一直工作稳定的父亲在退休之后跟作者一起出去游玩,在这次旅游里,作者和他父亲彼此都改变了原来的生活态度。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段和第三段“My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks. My father saw me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wanted me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.”(我父亲在 IBM 做了27年的经理后刚刚退休。他的工作充实了他的一天,他的思想和他的生活。当他醒来洗个热水澡时,我在秘鲁一个冰冷的瀑布下尖叫。当他系上领带,戴上同样的瑞士手表时,我划着小船穿过欧扎克湖。父亲看到我漫无目的地漂流,33年来除了一本满是滑稽邮票的护照外,什么也没有展示。他想让我安定下来,但现在我想让他去冒险)可知父亲的生活方式与作者大不相同,并且父亲希望作者能够安定下来,推知父亲是不满意作者的生活方式;故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第四段最后一句“I never spoke much to my father. We loved each other-but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”(我从来没有和我父亲说太多。我们彼此相爱——但从未说过。他能给我什么,他就给什么)可知,作者的爷爷很爱作者的父亲,但是他们都不善于表达;划线句子“The last sentence—it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father—is what I would want my child to say about me.(最后一句话——可能和我对我父亲说的一样——是我希望我的孩子对我说的话)可知,作者也想让自己的孩子这样认为自己,即能给孩子什么,就给什么。由此推知,作者从他父亲的话里慢慢理解了父母之爱的意义。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后两句““We have got to take another trip like that sometime.” I told him I had decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch”(“我们改日再来一次那样的旅行。”我告诉他我已经决定安定下来了,而且我戴着手表)可知,父亲询问作者什么时候开始另外一次旅行,说明父亲的生活方式发生了改变,而作者说想定居下来,说明他不想再和以前一样没有目标地生活,说明作者的想法也发生了变化;故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读文章可知,本文讲述了一直工作稳定的父亲在退休之后跟着作者一起出去游玩,在这次旅游里,作者对自己之前的生活方式产生了怀疑,决定定居下来,为一个目标而努力。而他父亲在这次旅游里认识到外面的世界很精彩,也改变了他自己的态度,所有的改变都是因为有了这一次的旅行,这次旅行是本文的核心,是故事发展的关键背景;故C项“A Journey with Dad(和父亲的一次旅行)”适合作为本文标题,故选C项。
D
Strangers under the Same Roof
Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into a conflict? Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded? Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything? You are not alone. Disagreement and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents.
Teenagers’ physical changes may result in such family tensions. You may feel worried that you are developing at a different rate as your friends, shooting up in height or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots (粉刺). When the worries get too much, your parents are often the first target of your anger.
It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental (心理的) needs too. You enter a strange middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult. You have both a new desire for independence and a continued need for your parents’ love and support. You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own. Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy. Sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride. It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult. All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship.
Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family, you can take action to improve the situation. The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication. Just remember that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress that parent-child tensions create, and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship. The good news is that this stormy period will not last. Everything will turn out all right in the end, and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for adulthood.
12. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?
A. To express his doubts. B. To compare different ideas.
C. To introduce points for discussion. D. To draw readers’ attention to the topic.
13. What does the underlined phrase “middle ground” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Between a child and an adult. B. A small child.
C. An adult. D. An old man.
14. Which of the following statements would the author agree with according to the passage?
A. Parents should let go of the control over their teenagers.
B. Teenagers should always follow their parents’ points of view.
C. Parents and teenagers should always keep open conversations.
D. Teenagers should not depend on their parents’ love or support.
15. What is the author’s attitude to parent-child relationship?
A. Pessimistic. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Negative.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】

【13题详解】

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了2016年在墨西哥举行的世界铁人三项系列赛上,哥哥阿利斯泰尔及时拉住了要摔倒在跑道上的弟弟,并拉着他向终点线冲刺的事迹。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:离终点还有700米时,阿利斯泰尔·布朗利名列第三,他的弟弟乔尼领先。此处表示将要发生的动作,应用不定式作宾补。故填to go。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:离终点还有700米时,阿利斯泰尔·布朗利名列第三,他的弟弟乔尼领先。短语be in the lead表示“领先”。故填the。
【43题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:他刚要拐过弯,就看见他哥哥摔倒到轨道上了。句型be about to do sth. when…表示“正要做某事,这时……”。故填when。
【44题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:Alistair Brownlee跑向Jonny,抓住他,开始把他拉向终点线。这里为本句谓语动词,空处为并列谓语,和上文的“ran”和下文的“started”保持一致,用过去式。故填caught。
【45题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:这一举动使乔尼排名第二,阿利斯泰尔本人排名第三。分析可知,所填应是“Alistair”的同位语,应是反身代词。故填himself。
【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在数百万人的注视下,这场比赛的结局引发了意见分歧:这对兄弟是应该被取消资格,还是应该受到高度赞扬?此处动词“watch”与主语“the ending to the race”之间为被动关系,应是过去分词形式作状语。首字母大写。故填Watched。
【47题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在数百万人的注视下,这场比赛的结局引发了意见分歧:这对兄弟是应该被取消资格,还是应该受到高度赞扬?修饰名词应用形容词divided。故填divided。
【48题详解】
考查副词。句意:在数百万人的注视下,这场比赛的结局引发了意见分歧:这对兄弟是应该被取消资格,还是应该受到高度赞扬?修饰动词praise应用副词highly,故填highly。
【49题详解】
考查介词。句意:但对阿利斯泰尔来说,在那一刻,他不再是一个追求奖牌的运动员,他只是一个兄弟。短语aim for表示“追求”。故填for。
【50题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:尽管时不时会有关于“愚蠢的事情”的争论,但阿利斯泰尔同意有个兄弟是一种优势。作介词的宾语,应用名词argument,且数量大于一应用复数形式。故填arguments。

My father always gave me some suggestions when I was in my teens. I seldom took it seriously, although. One day he was encouraged me to join in a speech competition. So I signed up and after the competition, I did my best to be fully prepared. But as I stood on the stage, I was such nervous that my mind completely went blank. The experience of lose a competition was really painful. But here were my dad’s advice. He said, “My son,life is like battlefield(战场). You have to lose many time to win the final victory.” Thanks for his advice, I never give up when I do anything.
【答案】it→them although→though 删除encouraged前面的was after→before such→so lose→losing
were→was 在battlefield前面加a time→times for→to
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者在青少年时期参加演讲比赛的经历,以及父亲给予他的建议和鼓励。
【详解】1.考查代词。句意:尽管如此,我很少认真对待这些建议。根据前文“some suggestions”可知,此处应使用复数形式的宾格代词them来代替这些建议,故将it改为them。
2.考查连词。句意:我很少认真对待这些建议,尽管如此。although和though都可以用来引导让步状语从句,但although通常不与逗号隔开,而though可以用逗号隔开,故将although改为though。
3.考查语态。句意:有一天,他鼓励我参加一个演讲比赛。encourage在此处是及物动词,不需要使用被动语态,故删除encouraged前面的was。
4.考查连词。句意:所以我报了名,并且在比赛前,我尽全力做好充分准备。根据下文“I did my best to be fully prepared(我尽全力做好充分准备)”,此处应该是指在比赛前做的准备工作,故将after改为before。
5.考查固定搭配。句意:但是当我站在舞台上时,我是如此紧张以至于大脑一片空白。此处考查的是固定搭配so...that...(如此……以至于……),so用来修饰后面的形容词nervous,因such修饰名词,故将such改为so。
6.考查动名词。句意:输掉比赛的经历真的很痛苦。介词of后面应跟动名词作宾语,故将lose改为losing。
7.考查主谓一致。句意:但是这时有了我爸爸的建议。句子的主语advice是不可数名词,谓语动词应使用单数形式,故将were改为was。
8.考查冠词。句意:他说,“儿子,生活就像一个战场。”battlefield是可数名词,此处泛指“一个战场”,且battlefield的首字母发音为辅音因素,故在battlefield前面加a。
9.考查名词复数。句意:你必须经历许多次失败才能赢得最后的胜利。many后面应跟可数名词的复数形式,故将time改为times。
10.考查介词。句意:多亏了他的建议,我在做任何事情的时候都不会放弃。thanks to表示“多亏了”,是固定搭配,故将for改为to。
